Infinite Summer 2014 discussion

Cate Blanchette would make a good Avril I.

I am only 137 pages in and I don't have any particular vision regarding what the charachters look like except Hal. I see him as a younger DFW. But surely David Lynch would have to be given consideration as the director.

The only real choice.

Ha, I love the DFW-turning-in-his-grave aspect to this.

It wasn't til I thought about this that I noticed how many physically extreme people there are in this book. It'd be fun to see the cast all standing together. I suppose that one's physical limitations are a bit of a theme of the book.

Huge: Don, Steeply, Marathe, the Antitois, Kittenplan
Tall: Jim, Avril
Small: Tavis, Mario, Tina Echt, Tiny Ewell
Beautiful: Joelle, Avril

Any more?

Tilda Swinton as Pat Mondrian.

I was thinking of Tilda Swinton as Avril and Jodie Foster as Pat. clearly Tilda needs to be in there somewhere.

Sam Rockwell as Lenz and Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Green.

Paul Giamatti as Tavis, maybe?

Adrien Brody as Himself.

Jennifer Lawrence as Joelle.

I can also see Richard Linklater directing this.
