Imagine of Charlie Kaufman adapted Infite Jest

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 4 16:16:13 2015 No.6357688 Not everything should get a movie adaption. In fact, nothing should get a movie adaption.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 4 18:58:48 2015 No.6358369 Michael Schur holds the film rights. Best case scenario, he's just going to sit on them so no one makes a shitty Infinite Jest adaptation. Or you know, Edgar Wright makes an HBO miniseries.

People would come out of the theater with a million questions.

>Why did practically every character have a destructive chemical dependency?
>What the fuck is The Entertainment?
>What happened when?
>Is Alcoholics Anonymous a cult?

I have no idea how they would incorporate any of the footnote information either, probably freeze-frame narration.

Infinite Jest had a theatre adaptation in Germany. It lasted 24 hours in 24 different locations. The audience was transported from place to place in a bus, snacks, drinks and caffeine pills were included in the ticket. I only know this because my sister went, I'm a lowly pleb who does nothing interesting with her life.
