Next Project

Any word on what he'll do next, or what he's considering? I heard about the Pinnochio thing, but there's been no word on it recently. I believe he was just supposed to work on the script for that. I'd rather not see him direct a Pinnochio film.

The Master was amazing. That's why I want to see him write another original script instead of taking on someone else's project. Unless it was another interesting novel adaptation, like I know at one point he wanted to adapt Pynchon's Vineland.

I wish Philip K. Dick had written Lord of Light

There is no chance he will do Pynchon again, if only because Hollywood has seen it won't make money. Inherent Vice being produced by a major studio is miraculous enough.

There have been rumors that his next project may be set during the early days of public access television when people were coming up with a lot of subversive and strange programming (no doubt inspired by his father, who worked in that realm and got away with a lot of gonzo antics himself).

Now that could be a very interesting project. Although I did not like The Master or IV, I have not given up on him yet.
