this, perfect, he was already cast, for an afternoon, when Franco briefly thought he had the rights a few months ago.

Probably best Franco didnt make the film, but still would have loved to see D'Onofrio's Holden, if a film had to be made.

I'm not sure you know who Cormac McCarthy is.

>>81379538
But it's just kitsch. Genre literature. I wouldn't even call it overrated because the people that rate it are not really that knowledgable about culture to begin with.

>>81379584
to the OP you dolt

>>81379589
He writes cheap novels you buy at airports, usually in the western genre. I read him when I was a wee teenager but really you move on from such petty pulp. Crash is fascinating when you're 14 but not all that when you're older. Same with McCarthy.

McCarthy is a Pulitzer prize winner and is recognized by critics and academics (aka "people knowledgeable about culture)" as a great American novelist, likely in the top 3 still living.

Holden is tall and imposing, not short and fat

JUDGE HOLDEN IS TO MAGNIFICENT IN ALL HIS GLORY AND SQUALOR TO BE SEEN IN A """""""FILM""""""".

>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>>/lit/

>>81379407
The density of the prose, and especially Holden's dialogue would be too much to translate to a single film. A trilogy could work, a miniseries would be best. What also makes it unfilmable is that there would be no audience for it. Borderline arcane actions, philosophical ramblings, the extreme settings, and of course the horrific violence (and child rape) on screen would never pass a review board. NC17 at best. A neutered and watered down version at worst.

>>81380209
What about an HBO series?

>>81380239
Enjoy your slow descent into Game of Thrones meats Westworld.

>>81379593
I'm sure you're just being hyperbolic, but Blood Meridian is pretty obviously not genre fiction. The term you're looking for might be entry level

>>81379754
Don't give up. I powered through it the first time, and though some passages resonated I ultimately felt I had just stared at words and periodically turned the pages. I read it a second time and it all started to piece together. I read Notes on Blood Meridian and then read it a third time. It's a different book every time I read it.

>>81380239
HBO would puss out. Any network, studio or director with the balls to stay true to Blood Meridian doesn't have the budget or the pull to do it, and those who do don't have the balls for it.

>>81380618
unfilmable stuff is just really philosophical stuff where most of the understanding of the characters and philosophy comes from the narration rather than the characters' actions and dialogue. Blood Meridian definitely isn't unfilmable then because almost all of the philosophy comes from the dialogue except for when Mccarthy does his meme descriptions about the landscape being like the breath of a god or whatever.

The Judge is supposed to look unworldly as fuck. Heavy makeup and prosthetics would be required.

and as >>81379324 pointed out you'll need to have an actor who can pull of the charisma

Also who would you cast as the other characters?
