    That would be awesome, Feddy!

    Donald Sutherland declined Deliverence & Straw dogs. His lineup of films in that time is still so darn impressive. Worked with Altman, Bertolucci, Fellini, Roeg, Pakula among others.

    Which Leonard book is for Hitch 'on paper'? 'd love to see his treatment for any crime film. He's so versatile.

    But still the premise is so De Palma-esque (who is a bastardized descendant of Hitch)

    In fact, Connery also turned down Morphues. To make it up, he did Leagues of Extraordinary Gentleman

    Versatile-A? I think he has his own genre. Not sure he can handle hardboiled crime. Leonard's are in essence more contemporary version. I feel only the latter directors did justice to his crime books (not sure about western). Have you seen 52 Pick Up. Didn't do justice to the book.

    Of course, Hitch is versatile. Anyone who had made stuff as versatile as the ring, lodger, rear window, vertigo, psycho, north by northwest, birds, wrong man is bound to be versatile. He'd handle contemp. style well.

    Personally, I think QT is meant for Leonard. QT is a descendant of De Palma, who is a descendant of Hitchcock.

    Well, explanation acceptible. The man is more of a visual guy. The entire North By Northwest was built by wanting to do a scene where the Mount Rushmore chase, and subsequent hanging. He picked plays and novels and made it his style. Chandler went nuts trying to work him, to paraphrase, "one moment he wants this, another he wants that (chandler was quoting some of the stunt sequences from Hitch's films). he is not serious about the story"...and also famously remarked to his servants when Hitch came over for script discussion (Strangers in the Train) "Look at that fat bastard trying to get out of his car"

    Absof_loutely. I won't be surprise Tarantino's story telling style was influenced by Leonard. I really loved Jackie Brown (okay, now I accept De Niro's presence in it).

    Hitch is a dictator. It would wind up different than the book that Leonard would wish he never sent the book in first place
