I like it! I can totally see Harrison Ford in that role at least. Scarlett
Johansen (sp?) would be good as Allie too.

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?
