Gormenghast would make a *lousy* movie!  It would have to be about 2
weeks long just to get half the story line in.  Maybe you better go
back and read the rest of the trilogy before you decide whether or not
it would make a good movie.  

As a set of books, it was okay, interesting, rather ponderous, but
imaginative.  As a movie it would be really out of place.

(Just my $.02 worth...)
