Haven't had one in a whileShitposters: "No book should ever be adapted! Cinema is a terrible medium!" There, I said it for you.
Surely someone can format better than I can.

haha bad
>Netflix original miniseries
>directed by Edgar Wright
>adapted into screenplay by Charlie Kaufman and Dan Harmon
>Mike Birbiglia as Tyrone Slothrop
>John Mulaney as Roger Mexico
>Hannibal Buress as Oberst Enzian
>Alison Brie as Katje Borgesius
>Bill Hader as Captain Blicero
The book is always better than the movie.
Proof: The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, The Life of Pi, Lord of the Rings, The Divergent Series... the list goes on.
>>7537116
Had something similar in mind.
>miniseries (Netflix/HBO/whatever)
>directed by Edgar Wright
>Eddie Marsan as Mason
>Paddy Considine as Dixon
>Zombie Philip Seymour Hoffman as Rev. Cherrycoke

dear god, don't put vince vaughn in anything that's meant to be serious
There's no reason to want a film adaptation of a novel unless you're a film exec wanting some easy $
>>7537030
>arr rook same
But for real, choosing vince for anything
>>7537767
What about the psycho remake? He was great in that
>>7537058
How would anyone adapt the ending while keeping the kid's fate ambiguous?
>>7537030
eh, don quixote played by Goodman.
devito plays sancho panza.
directed by woody allen.
>>7537159
I'm dying
>>7537783
So how exactly is this supposed to work when Bale is older than Gyllenhaal? nevermind the fact that Kubrick's dead.
>>7537058
No.
>>7537058
Everything aspect of this is wrong.
>>7537783
Terrible.
>>7538463
Whos the actress?
>>7538488
Lillian Gish as the Montag
Does non-fiction count?
>>7537133
I would like to see them do a "prestige" version of this like the John Adams miniseries, but with all the crazy humor in tact. I feel like it would lose something if some very self-aware, hip, "young people's" director like Edgar Wright did it.
>>7537183
IT ALREADY EXIST, YOU UNCULTURED SWINE.
>>7537183
Directed by Gilliam
Steve Buscemi's gotta be the voice of Behemoth
>>7537030
Not too bad, but I see Pete being a bit more of a hulking goon.
>>7539409
Have you not seen Vince next to other actors? He may not be jacked, but he's like 6'5". I can definitely see him filling the menacing, overshadowing bruiser role.
>>7539142
If got some bad news for you...
>>7538349
It's almost like it isn't imaginary!
don't pretend you wouldn't watch :)
>>7537201
This is pretty much perfect. Maybe not Di-Caprio for Villefort though, but I can't think of someone better. I don't think he would play Villeforts moral dillemmas well enough. Di Caprio tends to go for over the "committed to one idea" type guys, he doesn't do uncertainty well.
>>7539601
Yeah I did that one back a few years ago. And it's such perfect casting if that movie wasn't in production hell for all these last several years.
>>7539836
God why can't someone make this. pls.
>>7539836
>dwarf lomax
I was thinking someone like Ian mckellen but dress hipped and all eccentric
>>7539142
i'd love to see this

This directed by Fincher. Michael Shannon as Rorschach.
> Terry Gilliam won't ever finish adapting Don Quixote
This saddens me so much, especially that he's tries so many times to get the project running.

Emma Stone as Rei
James Blunt as Asuka
Pussy Faggot as Pussy Faggot
James Joyce as Nicole Kidman

Brendan Gleeson was meant to be adapting At Swim-Two-Birds with himself, Gabriel Byrne, Michael Fassbender, Colin Farrell and Cillian Murphy in starring roles which sounds great (although I have no idea how one would even go about adapting it). Unfortunately it seems to be stuck in development hell and won't see any forward movement for quite some time. Fingers crossed though...
What work would you like to see him adapt?
>>7537767
He plays a good sociopath, to be fair. I'm actually surprised he's not playing complete sociopaths in every role he's cast for.
>>7540334
War and Peace.
>>7540334Warhammer 40kOr regular Warhammer
>>7540364
War and Peace 2: Total War
After I saw Chandler in Carol, I'm convinced I never want to see him act again.
>>7539836
Dinklage would be bretty good Lomax t b h l a d
a bit skeptical about spacey though, not that i don't like his work or anything.
>>7540395
Haven't seen Carol, but he's great in Bloodline. One of the best performances of the decade thus far on TV and in general.
>>7540334

Adaptation when?
I'm retarded and don't know how to MS Paint
>Steppenwolf
>David Lynch
>Joaquin Phoenix as Harry Haller
Just imagine the theater scenes in Lynch's hands
>>7539587
Why would you want to adapt a shitty book by a genius, oh, wait, he did it a few times
>>7540310
It would be close to A cock and bull story I think. Kaufman could pull it off tho
>>7539142
Perfect, anon.
>>7537030
Won't happen for obvious reasons, but I'd still love to watch it.
>>7540542
Yeah you know what? Ed Harris does sound good or Willem Dafoe, my other choice.
>>7540509
That's good, but I the only person who can play Holden is Paul Giamatti. They just need to CGI him so he looks like a young person. It would be wonky as fuck, but delightful.
>>7540410
Who's that wench?
>>7541001
Nigga you don't know Sarah Silverman?
>>7541009
I should have bumped with aahembetter picture.

Or just keep him old, while all the characters pretend he's a teenager.
>>7541015
Yeah, it is a story of a war veteran returning to home, after all

>The Jim Belushi adaptation will never be made
>>7537116
Paul Thomas Anderson or no one. Also Slothrop simply has to be John C. Reilly.
I just want David Lynch to adapt Invitation to a Beheading tbqh.
>>7541223
>But neither will the Will Ferrell version
>>7539601
CGI Hoffman
>>7539948
Villefort is a "committed to one idea" type of guy, though. That's like his entire character after he fucks Edmond over.
robert mitchum and oliver reed would've been great judges but peter stormare will have to do
martin mccann as the kid

Dude, Orson would never work as Leopold. Leopold is supposed to be a plain unremarkable motherfucker.
>>7541347
>>7541653
Consensus on /tv/ is that Vincent D'Onofrio would be the best of all possible judges.
>>7542249
and Adam Sandler in drag as Grushenka.

arfonsky is a hack one of the worst directors allowed to make movies today your actors are okay though

I'm not saying he's bad, he's just not great or even particularly good.

I would addend: no book should ever be adapted, EXCEPT as an anime.Go ahead. Hate me.

2001 and Barry Lyndon were very, very good films, but A Clockwork Orange? Fear and Desire? Really? Those films are garbage.
