The Unemployed Writer

It seems like every other book on the market these days has a license already snapped up by a major studio. Of course, the truth is that there are some books deemed impossible film. Over at Screenhead, they look into some of the most unfilmable novels and subsequently which directors could pull it off. I would pay hand over fist to see any of these turned into film, especially Murakami and Vonnegut, two of my favorite writers by far. I don’t know about Richard Kelly with his rather short resume, but Beat Takeshi despite his pop cult status is one of the great modern directors of Japan.
