| Quote (Arden Chatfield @ Oct. 28 2007,16:58) | | Even worse news is that the people who own the rights to the LA Confidential screenplay (guess it ain't Ellroy) have indicated that they will not allow the characters of Ed Exley and Dudley Smith to appear in the planned film version of White Jazz. Considering that Exley and Smith are CRUCIAL characters in WJ, that should fuck up the movie pretty thoroughly (if it ever comes out). |
I'm a bit apprehensive about White Jazz coming to the big screen. In addition to the problem you mentioned, Joe Carnahan is slated to direct; this could go either way. On the plus side, Carnahan wrote and directed Narc, which kicked ass - imagine Ray Liotta playing Bud White, and that's Narc. On the minus side, Carnahan wrote and directed Smokin' Aces, which I thought was horrible.
Carnahan is also on board to bring Killing Pablo to the big screen. That was an astounding book; highly recommended.
