I can't imagine trying to direct this. The book is so incredibly gruesome. It's one violent scene after another. I don't know how it can be done. And who can play The Judge? When I read the book, the character made me think of Marlon Brando as Kurtz in Apocalypse Now. If I could pick any actor to play The Judge it would be Brando. He would have the force and presence to pull it off. As he's dead, I have no idea who could do it. Maybe Mickey Rourke? Definite maybe. I can't think of anyone.
Unrelated. Well, sort of related. This horrified me:

They had been talking about it for awhile. Tommy Lee Jones was one of the project backers. I think it will be a tough film to pull off. The late Peckinpah could have directed and Williiam Holden could had play the Judge. Danny Huston could pull it off as the Judge

Viva el Sebo!!
I can see David Morse as the Judge.
