I've really been looking forward to footage from Michael Winterbottom's adaptation of the Jim Thompson novel The Killer Inside Me. I'm a massive Thompson fan, and adaptations of his novels have about a .500 average. (I'm the guy that doesn't like The Grifters much; I infinitely prefer a movie like Tavernier's Coup de Torchon.)

Sci-fi flicks from filmmakers you wouldn't expect to make sci-fi flicks ( Jean-Luc Godard , Michael Winterbottom and Stanley Donen are a few examples) always fascinate me, so I'm very anxious to see what Anderson comes up with if he ever does go through with the idea, whether or not he manages to actually film on location.
