A Confederacy of Dunces movie
For anyone who's ever read this book, what do you think about the casting of the movie adaptation? Will Ferrell is going to be playing Ignatius J. Reilly. I have trouble imagining Ferrell in this part. It seems like he'd turn the part into more of a caricature than an accurate portrayal, which is sad considering that this is one of the most memorable characters in modern fiction. I think Philip Seymour Hoffman would've been a great pick for this role. He's already got some of the girth (I'm sure he'd need extra padding too), but he's also a great actor and I think he could pull it off perfectly. Any other ideas of people who could do a great job with the part?
