I always thought Harrison Ford and Drew Barrymore were good fits for the
roles in Second Coming but that was a while ago.

I seem to recall having read in Patrick Samway's biography of Dr. Percy
that there had been several aborted attempts at filming The Moviegoer,
though I don't remember Mallick having been mentioned. At some point in
the late 60s or early 70s a production might have actually commenced,
with Sam Waterston (apparently a Percy fan) in the role of Binx, but
this project was also shelved.

The most recent news I read regarding the filming of a Percy novel was
three or four years ago. Donal Logue (best known as a comic actor, I
think) was signed-on to direct a film adaptation of The Second Coming,
with Bill Paxton playing Will Barrett. I'm unsure as to what became of
that.

Does anyone have any information for Ms. Mullen or other thoughts on the
subject of MG as film?

Best,
