Could you imagine a Fincher or Sheridan directed adaptation of Blood Meridian with Vincent D'Onofrio as the Judge?
Set in a hellish - but beautiful - landscape of northern Mexico and Texas, where all characters are despicable and broken and almost irredeemable and where war and violence are man's natural trade.
Some of McCarthy's previous books have already been adapted to film with great success; I think Blood Meridian would be a great next choice. It seems that the screenplay/script would be the hardest thing to get right and I cannot think of any more high profile writer of neo and/or post western films than Taylor Sheridan at this present moment.
Perhaps Timothee Chalamet could play the Kid and someone like Christian Bale could play Glanton?
What do you think about the eligibility of adapting a book like Blood Meridian?
How would you do it?
Would you do it?
