Let's assume it is a reasonably faithful adaptation - this thread shouldn't need to concern itself with too many specifics. Let's assume it is faithful, encapsulates the "metaphysic" of the standalone novel, and is favourably reviewed. Director? Peter Weir, perhaps. But for the purposes of this discussion, we can safely imagine a scenario a few years (or decades) down the track; Jackson isn't directing, the Hobbit films are a nice memory, etc. Really, its entirely hypothetical though - I'm not asking for speculations about the nature of the film itself. We can make those assumptions for the purposes of my main question.
