What the Hell are the Coens waiting for? Come on, guys! Tackle "Blood Meridian"!


"No Country For Old Men" is a classic of the modern western genre and one of the two best Cormac McCarthy adaptions yet made, along with Hilcoat's "The Road". With the remake of "True Grit" and now "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs", the Coens have proved they are masters of the 19th century-set western movie as well.

If anyone out there can handle McCarthy's Blood Meridian, it is the Coens. Why can't they just get busy with it!?! The book came out in 1985 and I've been waiting for an adaption since 1995 already!
