Following the news that WB is planning a movie in which Shakespeare and Cervantes become friends and bum around Europe together (or solve crimes. Who knows?), I wondered which other authorial double acts you'd all like to see in the movies. Let me know.
Here's a few to get you started:
- Martin Amis and Harold Pinter: “when two authors clashed over their views on modern-day American Imperialism, it was murder”
- J D Salinger and F Scott Fitzgerald: “Their first names a secret, their attitude insouciant, they came to change nothing, but left having changed everything”
- Enid Blyton and Raymond Chandler: “Who you nodding at, kiddo? This ain't toy town any more!”
- Daniel Defoe and Jonathan Swift: “It was a journey greater than any they'd written about, but they would be back by Friday”
