Blood Meridian -- The Movie

[Steve Maas]

Henrikson, was he the cannibal bounty hunter in Dead Man? That guy could be 
good as Glanton. I don't know who Nick Stahl is. But, I find it hard to 
imagine anyone that could make a true-to-the-book movie out of Blood 
Meridian. I'd say Jarmusch, but his sense of the absurd would be out of 
place.
