in which greg mottola and charles portis are referenced

04.09.09 | Comment?

Last week, I saw Greg Mottola’s Adventureland, which I’d definitely recommend. Last week, I also read Charles Portis’s The Dog of the South, which also comes highly recommended. It’s a strange bit of serendipity, then, that in this comprehensive AV Club interview with Mottola, he had this to say in passing:

In fact, I’ve optioned a book called The Dog Of The South by Charles Portis for Bill [Hader] to be in for me to direct, because I really want to do a whole movie with him at the center, but a pretty naturalistic movie.

I’d see that.
