If he's involved a movie may, finally, get done. I'm sure if it does happen he will make sure it's done right.

I won't hold my breath though. Hollywood may still be too chickenshit to green light a true adaptation.

Well, The Road was very well done and followed the book almost 100%

Have you read Blood Merdian? It's indescribably brutal, makes The Road look like The Sunshine Boys.

I can't see it making it to the screen in anything close to its book form.

Blood Meridian

Nor I

Also, because so much of the book is narration, with relatively little dialogue, I don't see how it could translate to a comprehensible form on the screen. Many books, essays and articles have been written in attempts to interpret and explain the prose of the book and its characters. Taking an average member of the viewing public, who has not read or is even familiar with Blood Meridian, and getting the point across in a two hour film- I can see the film being panned.
