Are you excited about the upcoming movie? And what do you think of Christian Bale as Travis? I love Mr. McGee, he's an old school stand up guy, prehistorically over-protective of women but lovable none the less. Rosamund Pike is playing Lois, with Peter Dinklage on as McGee's buddy at Bahia Mar, Meyer. Follow along with me at my book-to-movie blog if you're interested.http://bit.ly/1FOcTl4

DiCaprio certainly couldn't. Kind of glad the movie didn't get made with those guys. James Garner could have done it. Jim Rockford was modeled after McGee in the first place. Robert Mitchum could have. A younger Sean Connery would have been ideal, if he could have done an American accent believably. No one working today would fit. (less)
