If I had the oppurtunity to make a film, I'd probably adapt it from a novel I've been working on for what seems like eternity now. The plot consists of an Obsessive-Compulsive ex-child star turned Coney Island carnie. Takes place in 1999, so his obsessive tendancies lead to an unhealthy interest in the Y2K technology scare that slowly drives him insane, and, when combined with other factors of life, worsen his prolonged suffering and prepetually depressing life. He's also just turned 30... I don't know, I find 30 to be a really poignant and symbollic age. There's that whole feeling of "oh my god, life isn't going to last forever" that finally seems to really settle in at that age, or so it would appear to me, a young observer... It seems to be the age that scares people the most. Also, I'm not religious in anyway, far from it, but I also find it interesting that it's the age that strikes fear into adults as well as the final age of Jesus. More so, the novel deals with feelings of alienation, confusion, and questions existance in general. So, I'd adapt that. And I would direct it.

I don't know who I would cast. I absolutely love Edward Norton, he's my favorite actor, but I can't really see him in the role, even though he portrayed a similar character so beautifully in Fight Club. At this very moment, for the first time ever (as I have day dreamed about adapting this piece into a film many times) I am thinking, perhaps Michael Pitt.
