editSome rumors have been spread casting Adam Brody (The O.C.) as Samuel Clayman and Jason Shwartzman (Rushmore) as Josef Kavalier. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.178.240.192 (talk • contribs)

Proposed movie page merge
editI believe that the page on the K&C film is in violation of WP:NOT in that "individual expected future events" are to be included on Wikipedia "if the event is notable and almost certain to take place". Since the film adaptation of K&C has been in various stages of pre-production since 2002 (and, as of April 2007, has stalled), I feel that the information on the film should be merged into this article. (Having a separate article for the unmade film is, to me, like having separate pages addressing the various unsuccessful attempts to make movies of out, say, The Catcher in the Rye or A Confederacy of Dunces.)

- I agree completely. María (críticame) 15:12, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- Agree. Merge – although the material could stand some rewriting and tightening up. --ShelfSkewed Talk 01:51, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- Great! I've merged the film article here, and tried to condense the text a little. Hobbesy3 06:39, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Theme Section Misgivings
editI propose the Theme section be deleted. It's just all original research and speculation. The fact one book resembles another theme wise doesn't belong in Wiki. Lots42 21:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that some of it is speculative and/or irrelevant to an encyclopedic article, but there's also some fairly straightforward elucidation of the text that I think could be supported by reliable outside sources. The section needs to be cleaned up, for sure, but I don't think it should be eliminated altogether. --ShelfSkewed Talk 22:00, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Fail. There is unsupported text, like a part in the section Inspiration and a whole paragraph in Cultural references. Some sources also seem of questionable quality, including "The Amazing Website of Kavalier & Clay", "Cinematical.com", and "fact.org"; januarymagazine.com doesn't seem very reliable either. Source formatting needs to be consistent. The Characters section is fully unsourced. Prose wise, there is too many single/two sentence paragraphs. Could possibly be a GA, interesting read, just not quite there yet. 750h+ 15:01, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
