That’s Rod McKuen on the left, and that’s Luke Wilson on the right. A bold choice for Dr. Tom More? Sure. But sometimes, you gotta ignore the naysayers and press on.

A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

Is this a real project?
Nope, sorry.
Sure, why not?
Welcome to the desert of the real.
I already committed Wilson to a Rockford Files movie, but we can do a workaround. Bring Anderson by some night.
Is Jonathan Webb playing Rockford’s dad?
For half a second, I thought the guy on the left was Scott Hahn, which created a great deal of cognitive dissonance.
Oh man… I wish Dr Percy were alive so he could go on EWTN Bookmark with Doug Keck!

That Rod McKuen is a handsome fellow. Maybe we should go for Michael Fassbender or Christian Bale?
Can you see either of those fellows as the kind of knowing wreck that More is? Fassbender would be too intensely ruined, Bale too wild-eyed.
It has to be the sort of fellow that people can say “I know you had a bad time, Doc” to.
Fassbender will be too busy playing Lancelot Lamar for Quentin Tarantino.
I take your point. Tom More is not Moses, though perhaps he would like to be.
What about that guy from Arrested Development and a not-so-great movie with Jennifer Ann is ton? He’s got the wreck thing down pretty well.
Jason Bateman.
no.
Maybe not:”I’ve been offered a couple of leads in some movies that really suck. I mean, you know, if they’re offering me the lead, the script ain’t that great. The stuff that’s good, I’m a little further down the cast list.”
On the other hand: “[on his past drinking] As disciplined as I am. I’m also a huge hedonist. If my fun level is like a 6 when I’m out, why not take it to a 10? That’s how I was with drinking. If I’m buzzed, let’s get drunk. And if I’m drunk, let’s black out. I mean, why not? I didn’t understand why you’d stop.”
But you’d never buy him as a Southerner. Luke, on the other hand…
Look, Quin, if your heart is really set on someone else, I’ll consider Kenneth Branagh. Check The Gingerbread Man for his Southern bona fides.
But of course, the idea was, first and foremost, to draw from people Wes has worked with before…
Rod McKuen is thrown in just because of the mention in the book, right? I’m confused about why the next post is #3.
#1 was Bill Murray as Art Immelmann
#2 is this one.
The girl says that More looks just like Rod McKuen, so I’m using that as a visual guide. Wilson is the best Anderson regular; Branagh might be the best overall.
Oh, right. Got it, thanks. I added a tag to all the posts so a single link can be sent to Wes Anderson.
