Director

I saw a Q&A with them a few years ago where someone asked about adapting it and Ethan Coen said he didn't understand it.

True, but don't underestimate the Coens - after all, they've made the masterpiece No Country for Old Men, based also on a McCarthy novel, so I'm sure they pretty much have the jist for it, seeing the movie as a 'modern' variation of a Western

lmao filtered as fuck

I really love this novel so much. I know fags love to post about it being babbys first whatever, but it truly is a masterpiece and I know it will endure.

I trust him
I trust them and they have experience but I am not sure they would do it the way I want

kek

zahler definitely loves the book. he wrote a goddamn fanfic-tier rip-off novel called "wraiths of the broken land" that ridley scott optioned for a film. scott was previously attached to direct blood meridian based on a william monahan script which shit all over the book

why? they are overrated garbage and would try to add their cringe "quirky" humor to it

how dumb are you

Too old

idk, with a body shave i could see it. he has the voice for it, kind of gruff, but kind of soft spoken.

>>The kid
>Timothee Chalamet
Awful, absolutely awful
The Kid isn't a prissy faggot, he's almost as much of a monster as the rest of them

this is bait right?

Why do you need to adapt this? There's no point

>Why do you need to make movies? There's no point

Make something different? Create your own story? Why adapt Blood Meridian if by adapting it you're removing one of its most significant elements?

it'd be a nice challenge for a truly great director. you could assign the function mccarthy's prose serves in the novel to cinematography in the movie.

>you could assign the function mccarthy's prose serves in the novel to cinematography in the movie
I'm not sure that's possible. His prose is intrinsic with allusions to the Bible, Paradise Lost, and Moby Dick, how do you recreate that? Prose is more than just descriptions of scenery

Bone Tomahawk>Brawl in Cell block 99>Dragged Across Concrete>Probably OPs choice

>Timothee Chalamet
fuck no

and scenery isn't cinematography, obviously. I think if various departments worked together under the right director a film could be made that is able to have a similar effect on the viewer that reading the book has on a reader. it'd be a monumental challenge but that's what makes it worth an attempt and worth discussing.

This is the only man fit to play the Judge.

Very soulless choices

Not him but Most adults aren’t “afraid” of characters in movies.

Did I think he played a convincing and timeless “Anton Chigurh?” Yes.

Judge has to be Vince Vaughn which could be the performance of a lifetime for him, he can speak those lines, he actually is articulate enough to pull it off.

BUT Looks wise i think Tyson fury is the closest person i've seen to it so far,

Tyson Fury did come to mind, depending on how doughy he is.

>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.

Terrible

this movie simply couldnt be made for its (accurate) depiction of the apachean tribes or the yuma.

>The captain leaned back and folded his arms. What we are dealing with, he said, is a race of degenerates. A mongrel race, little better than niggers. And maybe no better. There is no government in Mexico. Hell, there's no god in Mexico. Never will be. We are dealing with a people manifestly incapable of governing themselves. And do you know what happens with people who cannot govern themselves? That's right. Others come in to govern for them.

Based as hell but highly improbable

This

>like a company of mounted clowns, death hilarious
so many kino lines in this novel

This is the kind of zoomer mongoloid you share a board with.

He probably could have got it done if he was still alive.

Fuck that. Real child or fuck off

To be fair he was described as being quite thin but indeed Chalamet looks way too much like a twink faggot

PTA has directed one and Coen bros have made True Grit, NFOM, and Buster scroogs.

based litfag

Tom Cruise would make an awesome Glanton.

glanton was small but he was also mean and alpha and 30 when he died, not a 55 year old pretty boy

Who would you pick? Genuinely curious.

Hbo villain man
