Thoughts on blood meridian?
What on earth makes you think Inarritu would be good for Blood Meridian?
We lost our best chances at a great adaptation when Peckinpah died and Apoc Now broke Coppola.
The ideal director for Blood Meridian is Werner Herzog. He pays the right amount of attention to landscapes and seems to personally enjoy McCarthy's prose.
Inarritu is a decent choice for a director.
Memeoa makes no sense for Judge Holden. He's supposed to be a large, baby-faced man. IMO someone like John Goodman makes more sense (might be a little old now).
The Revenant is a pretty good application form to adapt Blood Meridian, imo, although like I said Herzog is a better choice.
Paul Thomas Anderson could probably get a good crack at Blood Meridian if he was allowed to make it a 4 hour film.
1970s Herzog could've done it if he had the budget. Present day Herzog is at his best when doing documentaries now.
I think we all know Inarritu was only brought up because of The Revenant which is just Blood Meridian-lite. I don't think he would do such a good job with the actual novel.
Awful choices for lead actors though, I will fucking smack you one.
Great book, OP. Just try reading some other of Cormac's books first before Blood Meridian or you'd probably find it a little frustrating.

somebody really needs to do the harry potter franchise some justice
Judge Holden: Idris Elba.
Blood Meridian should be made into a series:
Cohen brothers as directors
Morricone as composer
John Malkovich as the judge(the one who looks most the part is Vin Diesel, but I don't see him ever accepting a judge role)
I don't know about the kid, it's just got to be a believable young actor
>a series:
Wouldn't that get old really fast? There's not exactly a whole lot of plot in the classical sense.
