Is it filmable?

2/10
trying too hard

>Will Poulter as the kid
>DDL as the Judge

Holy shit this image is actually great. Where did you manage to get this?

wrong.

This could only work if it was written and directed by James Franco
The Judge as Vincent D'onofrio
The Kid as Dave Franco

Oh god please be bait

Would have to be a mini-series, first of all. The biggest challenge is finding an actor who can play The Judge.

Why do redditors love this book so much? It's not even Cormac's best book.

Reddit aside it's pretty good

As a single movie? No.
As a 12-13 episode TV show with each episode being about 40-50 minutes long? Yes.

The best choice for another Cormac McCarthy book to turn into a movie is Outer Dark. That one is short enough that it can fit into one movie.

I haven't read it in a while. But it seems like something maybe Malick could do. Idk if it would be good or not, but he'd be best equipped to handle it i think.

it shows up in Yea Forums all the time

Tried reading the book years ago but was too brainlet.
I like punctuation.

>The first of the herd began to swing past them in a pall of yellow dust, rangy slatribbed
cattle with horns that grew agoggle and no two alike and small thin mules coalblack
that shouldered one another and reared their malletshaped heads above the backs of the
others and then more cattle and finally the first of the herders riding up the outer side
and keeping the stock between themselves and the mounted company. Behind them
came a herd of several hundred ponies. The sergeant looked for Candelario. He kept
backing along the ranks but he could not find him. He nudged his horse through the
column and moved up the far side. The lattermost of the drovers were now coming
through the dust and the captain was gesturing and shouting. The ponies had begun to
veer off from the herd and the drovers were beating their way toward this armed
company met with on the plain. Already you could see through the dust on the ponies'
hides the painted chevrons and the hands and rising suns and birds and fish of every
device like the shade of old work through sizing on a canvas and now too you could
hear above the pound ng of the unshod hooves the piping of the q 춊 uena, flutes niade
from human bones, and some among the company had begun to saw back on their
mounts and some to mill in confusion when up from the offside of those ponies there
rose a fabled horde of mounted lancers and archers bearing shields bedight with bits of
broken mirrorglass that cast a thousand unpieced suns against the eyes of their enemies.

>A legion of horribles, hundreds in number, half naked or clad in costumes attic or biblical or wardrobed out of a fevered dream with the skins of animals and silk finery and pieces of uniform still tracked with the blood of prior owners, coats of slain dragoons, frogged and braided cavalry jackets, one in a stovepipe hat and one with an umbrella and one in white stockings and a bloodstained weddingveil and some in headgear of cranefeathers or rawhide helmets that bore the horns of bull or buffalo and one in a pigeontailed coat worn backwards and otherwise naked and one in the armor of a spanish conquistador, the breastplate and pauldrons deeply dented with old blows of mace or saber done in another country by men whose very bones were dust and many with their braids spliced up with the hair of other beasts until they trailed upon the ground and their horses’ ears and tails worked with bits of brightly colored cloth and one whose horse’s whole head was painted crimson red and all the horsemen’s faces gaudy and grotesque with daubings like a company of mounted clowns, death hilarious, all howling in a barbarous tongue and riding down upon them like a horde from a hell more horrible yet than the brimstone land of Christian reckoning, screeching and yammering and clothed in smoke like those vaporous beings in regions beyond right knowing where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools

I’ve stopped browsing that board frequently about a year ago. I got tired of all the same stupid threads about NEETCHEE and the general lack of discussion. Had it gotten better

Thats a rare pepe

Don’t worry user, give it another’s try. Once you read for some 20 something pages you start to get the hang of it.

The Judge

Attached: Matt_Lucas.jpg (800x1000, 130K)

it is actually his best book, it's a masterpiece that will absolutely become part of the permanent western canon. Though I really like All the Pretty Horses too

wasn't the judge naked in that scene?

Of course it could be. People will call it terrible and then it will become a cult classic years later.

The structure will be weird though since most of the book the characters don’t have goals besides scalping.

The books got plenty of diversity but not the kind Hollywood likes since everyone is shown in a bad light.

Also idk how the mystery of the Judge, the kid and the preacher will translate on screen. There is a shit Ton of intentional ambiguity and novel fans will hate whatever interpretation the film/tv show will have. Is the kid dead, raped or the judge himself.

I really liked Outer Dark, for some reason the farmer and buttermaker wife scene stood out to me.

In fact I loved all of his Appalachia books, probably because im Appalachian. Child of God could've been kino if Franco hadn't fucked it up like every other movie he touches.

Based

McCarthy could be a much more popular author if he actually learned to chop up his sentences.

>James Franco
Speaking of which, does anyone have a working link to the test footage he did?
I know it was supposedly utter shit but I'd like to see it myself. Sadly every page that once had it has now taken it down.

Found it in this daily thread. Someone else posted it.

Certainly, Malick or Andrew Dominik. The latter, who borrows from Malick, has proved himself with The Assassination of Jesse James.

and the complete lack of punctuation and quotation marks and stuff.
he says they clutter the page LOL.
I find his stuff very hard to read.
Its hard to know who is talking to who , is anyone talking now . What s going on .
Forgot about speed reading.
