Broadbent's casting is old news, and brilliant.
I just re-read this one, because I frelling hated it ... with an eye toward how it could be adapted into a successful film. It's possible, but will take quite a lot of doing. There's enough in there to make a good movie ... but they will have to do a lot of judicious trimming and re-arranging to avoid the sensation that nothing happens until a really exciting final 20 minutes.
