Discussion Would a Blood Meridian adaptation work better as movie or miniseries?

Honestly, it should a miniseries. Trying to compress the whole book into a stand-alone film will either result in a very mid film, or one that's downright garbage.

Series probably but a long movie could work

I think it would work best an animated series. That way, you could keep the length and brutality.

AI slop but reasonable ig. Also reminded of The Terror, excellent show - one of my favorite miniseries ever.

Blood Meridian is approximately 337 pages long in most paperback editions. Page counts may vary slightly depending on the publisher and format, but it generally falls between 330–350 pages.

Djeeeez
Did you read them all ?
