Why do so many people want this book in particular to get an adaptation?
muh worldbuilding
They're too lazy to read it, but they want to experience what it has to offer.

Have you read it? This would make the perfect meme-patrician film. Also Cormac's books make for very easy adaptations.
Because plebs have a hard-on for bleak and surreal. Plebs have a hard-on for violence. Book has all.
Because SJWs would all explode in rage.

fedora tipping edgelords think it's patrician just like their really long chinese comics.

It's about the only semi-original thing left to do with movie-westerns.
would make a better miniseries than a movie.

To keep James Franco from doing it.

Malick could do all the slow bits, but there's no way he'd be able to deliver the horrific violence the way that he'd need to.
I say, give it to the Coens. They already did great work with McCarthy once.
Alternatively, the Bone Tomahawk guy would be able to do well with it, too.

Spotted the plebs. They often disguise themselves behind a veil of Millenial detatchment.
because it's edgy and 4chan are mostly teenagers

What is Franco's obsession with adapting books poorly?
>>67787263
It's a historical piece that punches you in the fucking face as it describes what happens when civilization doesn't apply.
This is pretty much the ultimate "movie that women won't understand."

It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't doing shit like Faulkner and McCarthy.
people for some reason think a film adaptation is enough to bring a work into the more immediate mainstream/earn it a level of relevancy it never had before but the reality is that it just does not happen like that

But, he is, which is the problem.
