Should do Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian" next...


…he's the only one who could do it justice.

And as a Mexican he has the necessary outsider's POV on US history.

That story, filmed in his style could be mind-blowing:

It's much stronger material than "The Revenant".

There's never been a great film about the genocide of the Native Americans.

It's time to look at it without "Dances with Wolves" cheese.

I just watched The Revenant last night, and during the first 15-20 minutes, one thought going through my head repeatedly was that Inarritu would be the perfect choice to direct Blood Meridian. Glad to know others feel the same. Before this, I could not, for the life of me, think of a suitable director!

Is there some sort of 'petition' that could be made to get Inarritu to direct Blood Meridian; I would sign it a million times.
