Absolutely, I don't know how it could be crammed into a single film. Maybe a two-parter, but even then it seems too ambitious. That's why its such a tragedy, as the original author was working on a screenplay for it. He'd be the man to get the job done. And John Hillcoat directed the film version of The Road and he also did The Proposition, so I feel like with the two of them working on it it's closer than ever before to being a reality. Here's hoping for a good film outcome to arguably his best work.

definitely worth the suffering haha. My suggestion to anyone who wants to read his material, specifically the Border Trilogy or Blood Meridian, read them on an eBook reader. Something that you can copy/paste the parts that in spanish. I did a re-read of his work a few years ago this way, and it made his already difficult reading experience much easier being able to Google search the non-English portions

Damn, sad to hear. Incredibly unique writer. Heard he was working on the screenplay for Blood Meridian recently with John Hillcoat, I hope they were able to get some good work done on that, I would love to see that book attempted on the big screen. RIP
