Other pipe dreams: Stillman doing a movie about Walter Duranty starring Gary Oldman, or someone doing a movie about Bertolt Brecht starring Adrian Brody.
WOW! Great idea. I can't remember the title of that book a fews back. Brilliant! He wouold be a good choice.
Outstanding casting! (Malkovich a righty????!!)
You have to write to these guys' agents with your ideas. Seriously.
