dws, Terrence has already written a full screen adaptation of Richard McCann’s Mother of Sorrows which is an absolutely stunning book that you should all read. Richard was one of my mentors and friends in grad school. Unfortunately, Richard passed away in January 2021 and I’m not sure who is operating his estate. I do remember him telling me that he and Terrence had both really liked the idea of Paul Dano playing the main character although, at this point, I’m not sure he’s the right age to play him.dws1982 wrote:I wonder what happened with the novel adaptation he was working on that flipp had mentioned somewhere (probably when A Quiet Passion was being discussed) a few years back? I know projects often just don't get off the ground sometimes, or they get pushed off for years and years, but Davies is now in his late 70's and I would like a few more Davies films.
It was one of Richard’s dreams for Terrence to script and direct this film so hopefully it’s still a possibility.
My latest book, Better Davis and Other Stories (2021), was dedicated to Richard’s memory.
