That would be a tough story to take on cinematically, but I’m excited. Sort of wish the Cohen brothers were doing it—they did a phenomenal job with NCFOM.

I'm in, but worry that it might not meet my expectations. I would try to lower those before watching.

Id rather it be a series on Netflix. I don’t think its set up to capture in 2 hours.

Agreed...

One of my favorite novels of all time - I am cautiously optimistic. Optimism because Hillcoat successfully adopted The Road to film, and because No Country was such a success on screen. Cautious for the obvious challenges to but this book to screen. Also because my favorite McCarthy novel (and series), All the Pretty Horses, was not as successful on screen.

My magical ask to the production: don't dumb it down, don't overproduce it. Stay true to the story and its essence. Be dark, violent, nihilistic, and unapologetic. Assume your viewers are intelligent, not the typical popcorn marvel crowd.

The Coens doing Child of God or Suttree would be interesting...

Looks like another book I may need to add to the list!

Cohens & Suttree. That story fits their style well. I loved that book.

Child of God should never be made into a movie. Way too dark.

Blood Meridian - I just don't know how you capture that story with a camera. It's way too big for the screen.
