This is kind of a hard question for me because my favourite book is Life After God by Douglas Coupland, and it's actually a series of short stories, and would be pretty difficult to translate into film. But if it could be done and done well, I would love to see Ian play the lead role in the second story, My Hotel Year.

Just an exerpt to give a taste of the story:
I think it takes an amazing amount of energy to convince oneself that the Forever Person isn't just around that next corner. In the end I believe we never do convince ourselves. I know that I found it increasingly hard to maintain the pose of emotional self-sufficiency lying on my bed and sitting at my desk, watching the gulls cartwheeling in the clouds over the bridges, cradling myself in my own arms, breathing warm chocolate-and-vodka breath on a rose I had found on a street corner, trying to force it to bloom.

Time ticks by; we grow older. Before we know it, too much time has passed and we've missed the chance to have had other people hurt us. To a younger me this sounded like luck; to an older me this sounded like a quiet tragedy.

I would love to see that scene either being played out, or have Ian say it in a voiceover. That would be absolutely mesmerising. [img]smilies/sigh.gif[/img]
