yay! Great news.
would be cool if either Zero at the Bones or Shades of Gray could be turned into a movie.
SpoilersYes! Too cool indeed. Both of these would make great films. Who to cast as the leads? In both stories they are in their mid-thirties, but the way they are written it seemed to me the Ennis character comes across as older, more experienced in the ways of the world, more cynical and emotionally shut down (that's our Eninis!) and the Jack character seems so much younger and naive. Someone once suggested Daniel Craig as Ennis, and I can see that in either of these stories. He'd be great as a G-Man or a Killer for hire. He can pull of that brooding intensity, it's his specialty. I can envision Brad Pitt in either roll as well, the buttoned down FBI agent, or nearly soulless killer(see Tyler Durden). I can't see who'd play Jack though. He's a Doctor in one story, but if he's made to be younger, maybe he'd be a med-student. Ennis strives to return Jacks life to normality so he can fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor. In the other story he's an expendable cog in a large drug smuggling operation and Ennis has to extract him from that and keep him alive to have a normal life. I just see the Jack character as being in his mid-twenties in either of these. so the role should go to some young up and coming actor. But who?
