While we wait for news on the Hollywood adaptation, it seems that Jeff Hoyt has taken matters into his own hands and put together an adaptation of the first scene of Thomas Pynchon's Inherent Vice starring Orien Longo and Rachel Kadison. I'm sceptical about Pynchon ever making good movie material, but judge for yourselves.
