: even though I still feel no need to see a Vance movie, I salute you for your good intentions vis-a-vis shared visualization, and sincerely hope that you can help put a Vance film together, or at least someday see one.

Most gracious!
BTW I liked your choice of directors, deceased though they may be. Still, I don't think Gillian is a bad choice. He can handle the visuals, he has the artistic intergrity and a flexible sense of humor. We would just have to make sure that his contract forbids him to cast Robin Williams, Brad Pitt or Bruce Willis (even though I reluctanly admit, he got good performances out of all of them - no small feat) though Johnathan Pryce or Ian Holm would be acceptable. Come to think of it Gillian would be more likely to access the plethora of plummy, punctilious Brits who would lend themselves so aptly to the Vancian Villain.
Patrick Stewart a perfect Demon Prince. Oh hey Londo! (Peter Jurasik) he already is a Jack Vance character. David Hyde Pierce, Kelsey Grammer, John Cleese, John Malkovitch, John Lovitz.
Somebody please stop me. Ok time to cast the grade B Roger Corman version.
