There have been many attempts to adapt blood meridian, I still cant see how it would work unless it was like 6 hours long but I would love to see it given a real, high budget, big name attempt.
It would be a very difficult watch, but sometimes thats a good thing.
Absolutely, I don’t know how it could be crammed into a single film. Maybe a two-parter, but even then it seems too ambitious. That’s why its such a tragedy, as the original author was working on a screenplay for it. He’d be the man to get the job done. And John Hillcoat directed the film version of The Road and he also did The Proposition, so I feel like with the two of them working on it it’s closer than ever before to being a reality. Here’s hoping for a good film outcome to arguably his best work.
