Another day, another literary-to-big-screen adaptation. There Will Be Blood director Paul Thomas Anderson wants to direct a film version of Inherent Vice, the 2009 novel from genius reclusive writer Thomas Pynchon. The book is made for cinema: a charismatic, burnt-out private detective named Doc Sportello, a mysterious disappearance, a bevy of beautiful women, and a good-looking cop, all set in Malibu and Las Vegas after the Summer of Love.Rumor has it Robert Downey Jr. might play the lead male role of Sportello. Keep your fingers crossed for a decent adaptation – this might be one killer of a film.
