Has there ever been a good film adaption to begin with? The medium is only like 140~ years old. People keep trying to adapt masterworks from other mediums and act like they aren't anything but tripe.
Plenty of good and great films have been made from all kinds of books and ages. Pretty moronic question actually, except if you're extremely biased against them from the get-go.
I don't care, it's shit. Meaningless gore sprinkled with surface level metaphors, maybe it's perfect for edgelords with 100 IQ like you, but for normal non-moronic people it's simply cringe.
The American Psycho book was way worse than Blood Meridian. They got away with making it as a movie but just not showing the gruesome scenes in the book. They can do it with Blood Meridian too.
>Large segments of the book would never be allowed to be shown on TV or in a theater >Most of these segments are pretty critical to the overall story and themes of the work >All of the Gnostic themes would be utterly lost on normies and likely the staff behind the adaptation also
If it were to ever be adapted into either a series or a movie, it would basically be another Halo TV show situation. It would be mutilated down into a generic genre work that would simply reuse names from the book and occasionally make a brief reference to an event from the book that they chose not to adapt. You would be left with nothing but a generic, soulless, artless product that has very little to do with the original book and basically just exists to cynically cash in on it's name recognition.
A sad fate that now I think about it, actually does have some meta relevance to the themes of the book.
Oh my bad I just posted a thread and I didn't bother to look if there already was one
Here are my thoughts on it.
To me the problem with a Blood Meridian film is if it feels modern in any way at all, it's fricked right out the gate. I can't shake the feeling that to me it's going to need to feel like you're watching a movie that was made in the 1940s. I don't think it's going to happen. they need someone who is so ridiculously creative and out there to do it, hillcoat doesn't have the stuff.
His movies feel like something you would see on sale for $1.99 in the DVD bin at a convenience store to be honest.
Watching the thing needs to feel like some gnostic wizards gave the writer and director some secret truth or somethin
They're going to be too scared to cast a 14/15 year old as The Kid. They're going to be too scared to go into the middle of Pennsylvania and find some 6'7" gargantuan corn-fed Amish mountain of a human to cast as The Judge. They're going to get Hans Zimmer to do some lame uninspired tripe for 'the score'. Its just going to piss all of us off.
Looking at The Judge on screen needs to feel like you are seeing something that you're not supposed to see. Like God went out of his way to make sure you never see this Entity, and yet you're looking right at him. I don't think collectively we're there yet to be able to capture this.
S. Craig Zahler should direct and Holden should be like how they did Thanos, obviously not quite as accentuated as that but I don’t think Holden can ever be as effective just bring a tall jacked bald guy
Was there ever an "unfilmable" movie that got a good adaptation?

>adaption
Ah, that guy
1984?
Kubrick called Lord of the Rings "unfilmable".
I really really really liked White Noise
This and Cosmopolis
I'm glad I'm not the only one

American Psycho? Duh

>DOOD THE JUDGE IS LE HUMAN VIOLENCE
wow this so deep, just like Rick&Farty
Thank you for the gold, kind stranger!!
Is this just the Joker for Zoom Zooms
The book came in the 80s
Black person this book was being written before your dad was born.
No, but it is reddit
Nothing is unfilmable. Bazin knew this back in the 60s.

Halo is a generic story though.
You can't compare some little homosexuals scifi to a great work.
The prose is what makes the book a masterpiece, not the content. It would lose most of what makes it so good.

Here's the (You)s
was this drawn by the same dude who drew the gunslinger adaptation?
The culture worships non-whites way too much for this movie to work. The casting directors are way too israeli to make this movie work.
