But I think Big Jim is going to need to be a much bigger name.

He played the other lawyer opposite Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny, he has that whole nice, slick, sinister thing down really well.

The book itself is already way to verbose (clocking in north of 2,000 pages) and turning it into a series will increase the desire to string it along.

I wish the USA tv head honchos would take a look at how successful the british short run series has become and start emulating it. It’s ok to have a season that consists of 4-5 incredibly excellent episodes, then take a break and come back later with another small batch of excellence (see Sherlock).

I think the watching public has become wary of serialized shows and has just decided to stop watching them on network TV. They’ve had the rug pulled out from under their feet too many times.

Also, I’m not so sure about it being on CBS. On Showtime that would’ve been great. it would’ve been able to deal with a lot of the more graphic stuff in the book. It’s going to be reigned in because it’s on the network.

They also won’t be ballsy enough to keep the ending from the book, which didn’t have resolution for a reason. I’ll watch, but I’m skeptical.
