: I agree with all those who think that the large Hollywood style
: films would never work for a Vance adaptation. I also think it
: bizare to suggest the names of people like Keanu Reeves as
: possible actors to play the part of Vances
: cerebral/physical/whimsical heroes.
Read my mail again and you'll notice that I stated that having
ol' Keanu taking part in a Vancian film would be about as
pleasant as receiving a massage from Beauty Dasce after he'd
spent a night on the Blue Ruin.
: Surely a complete unkown would suit best.
: In my opinion the best adaptation would be the Demon Princes
: with it fantastic vilans (Beauty Dasce being my favourite)
For some reason Henry Rollins springs to mind for playing
Dasce. Question is would he be prepared to lose his eyelids
for the part? Judging by the extent of his tattoes, the answers
probably yes.
