Confederacy of Dunces The Movie Should be written and Directed by Alexander Payne

This film should be made but who will be the people behind the camera that could bring the book to cinema life?  I think the perfect person to write & direct this right now would be Alexander Payne.  He is the best American Writer-Director for the job.  


Now casting .... I am not sure...   One thing is certain the film would cost TENS MILLIONS however the auidence for this film might be limited.  The Humor might not travel well outside of the states....
