Hey thanks for the compliment.Itstrange the guy's been around so long, and writing so much great stuff and it kind of took the Coen brothers to put him on the map. I'd never evenof the guy untilcame out and that got me hooked. It's a shame that Crichton & Grisham are household names while McCarthy isn't.Tom Noonan's an interesting choice, but man that's going to be a hard role to cast. Hell, it's going to be a very tough movie to make, because the environments alone play such a huge role in the story, there isn'ta traditional five-part plot, no "MacGuffin", and all of the main characters arein general.And I'm a huge fan of Ridley Scott...but I'm not so sure he's the right man for the job.I honestly can't say off the top of my head who I have in mind as the judge. Ron Pearlman is the kind of "obvious choice", though I honestly don't think he could pull it off. I sawCheck out the boards on IMDB sometime. Those people come up with some great ones....like Michael Clarke Duncan
