Some rumors have been spread casting Adam Brody ( The O.C.) as Samuel Clayman and Jason Shwartzman ( Rushmore) as Josef Kavalier. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.178.240.192 ( talk • contribs)
I believe that the page on the K&C film is in violation of WP:NOT in that "individual expected future events" are to be included on Wikipedia "if the event is notable and almost certain to take place". Since the film adaptation of K&C has been in various stages of pre-production since 2002 (and, as of April 2007, has stalled), I feel that the information on the film should be merged into this article. (Having a separate article for the unmade film is, to me, like having separate pages addressing the various unsuccessful attempts to make movies of out, say, The Catcher in the Rye or A Confederacy of Dunces.)

I propose the Theme section be deleted. It's just all original research and speculation. The fact one book resembles another theme wise doesn't belong in Wiki. Lots42 21:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Fail. There is unsupported text, like a part in the section Inspiration and a whole paragraph in Cultural references. Some sources also seem of questionable quality, including "The Amazing Website of Kavalier & Clay", "Cinematical.com", and "fact.org"; januarymagazine.com doesn't seem very reliable either. Source formatting needs to be consistent. The Characters section is fully unsourced. Prose wise, there is too many single/two sentence paragraphs. Could possibly be a GA, interesting read, just not quite there yet.
