After first watching Banshees Of Inisherin, thought Barry Koeghan would be a really strong contender to play The Kid. Can portray a lot of the qualities (potentially) needed without saying a word. Maybe a bit too zeitgeist now but who knows.
I don't think any film adaptation can adequately capture the brilliance of the novel. Yet, that doesn't mean they can't still turn it into a very fine Western. I just hope they don't go overboard on making it all about the judge. It will be very easy to turn it into some cheesy horror film with him as "the monster."
