Inherent Vice is a great book. I am thrilled that PTA is adapting and that Pynchon is allowing it.

Can you really hear the camera in the film? The upgrade in presentation doesn't seem worth it to me if that is truly the case.

I'm dying to see Paul do "Inherent Vice." It's VERY adaptable yet it retains a very Pynchon-esque vibe. I don't think "Gravity's Rainbow" is a good idea, though. It's a true masterpiece, but it's just too abstract. I'd like to see PTA do "The Crying of Lot 49" instead. It'd be an incredible companion piece to "Inherent Vice."

I bought this book just just because PTA hinted in the past that he might adapt it, that's how much I like his filmmaking. I don't think any other director could convince me to do that. Plus anything that is compared to The Big Lebowski is gravy. Judging from the story and setting (California, which PTA is very used to as a backdrop) this could be awesome. All I hope is if Downey is cast that he doesn't play a version of himself like in Iron Man, Sherlock etc. Maybe this could make him move back to more indie fare.

All I want is more PTA…. the man is a genius and so very handsome. Gah, Maya Rudolph is one lucky lady.

I've read one Pynchon book and it sucked ass. He should do a movie about space cannibals instead.

Anderson is a big Altman fan, and I definitely get a 'The Long Goodbye' vibe from this. I hope it comes to pass. Downey is perfect for the role.

It doesn't say anywhere in the Empire article that he's tackling Gravity's Rainbow. All it says relating to that is that it refers to Pynchon as the '"Gravity's Rainbow" author.'

Wow this is awesome awesome news. Inherent Vice is a great book and an absolute perfect fit forAnderson. As for Gravitys Rainbow,well what can I say? It is possibly my favorite book of all time, dizzying in scope and overflowing with ideas and imagery. There is probably going to be a lot of talk about how potentially bad of an idea it is or that it is impossible to do but it's definitely worthwhile as there are enough moments that would be amazing on film- rockets screaming across the sky, brainwashed octopi, insane set pieces all over Europe, rocket man stealing hash. I think if anyone could do it right it'd be PTA and it seems like a collides to do IV first, almost like a warm up or something.

Holy crap. Best of luck to PTA with that — I'm wary of Pynchon translating to film, but if you've got to start anywhere, Inherent Vice is a good place to start.
