That's his masterpiece. Ridley better not fuck it up.

2. I know...of all the novels Ridley could fuck up, why Blood Meridian? |

8. Probably didn't read it, based on Blade Runner |
|
Of course, neither have I, but I just wanted to get in a cheap shot at Ridley.

3. Hmm, did it make it out of script development Purgatory? |
|
IMDB still shows no cast, not even a speculative one, which is usually a good sign that things are still at the "maybe" stage. Any news stuff about it? I was wondering if the success of "No Country for Old Men" would get it moving forward.
I personally hope that a movie version of Blood Meridian stays on ice until they can figure out a way to resurrect Sam Peckinpah.
Jim Jarmusch can do "Outer Dark." Other than those two, Hollywood should stay away from McCarthy.

4. Jarmusch only does movies he writes himself, though. |
|
So we better figure out how to reanimate old Sam. ;-)

Blood Meridian is my most favoritest McCarthy book! I want Guillermo Del Toro to do it, or Philip Ridley.

9. I first heard about this around a year ago |
|
If he directs Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian rather than Ridley Scott's Please Love Me and Tell Me I'm Not a Hack, it might be okay.
This is one of my all time favorite books. If Scott fucks it up, I'm going to sic Caballo en Pelo on him.
