My B-movie daydream. I love love LOVE the concept behind this book, and it's a shame the book itself gets such a weak review. It sounds like it'd make a great movie, though...→[More:] and I'd love to see my hero Larry Cohen write the screenplay. He wrote the movie Phone Booth, originally for Alfred Hitchcock. He's directed everything from blaxploitation to monster movies, but he's a better "idea guy" than he is a director.

So, who to direct? Roger Corman has already done too many racing-type movies, even a dystopian one. Tarantino just did Death Proof, and Robert Rodriguez has comic-booked himself to death with GrindHouse plus the Sin City movies (two more are coming out, eventually). Besides, we already know how those guys do genre pics. Maybe Alex Aja, the guy who did the remake of The Hills Have Eyes (which is the only movie in the glut of 70s-horror remakes that I thought was any good).

I know there are at least a couple of bunnies who share my love of racing movies/B-movies/horror movies... who'd be a good director for this? And who knows a Hollywood agent we can bug to get this idea out there? :)
