Trouble is it can take ages tfor a book to become a movie as you already know.

and yeah, the guys you list would be too old, i think. what about someone like Vigo Mortensen? or is he too european-looking? well whoever they cast i will be waiting to see it on the big screen.

on a personal note, i read that book when i finished high school and worked for the forest service in the high sierra. so it’s got a home deep in my heart.
