I intend to write an eighteen-hour screenplay adaptation of James Joyce’s Ulysses. The book has been made into a film twice before, but both film adaptations attempted to compress the book’s 644 pages into the standard motion picture running time of two hours. Because the book is divided into eighteen chapters, with each chapter representing a different hour of the same day, my intention is to adapt the book in real time, with each chapter taking up and hour of screen time.
