Real quick now, gotta make some time for book based projects, that and the story’s got a Kangaroo that works for the mob, I kid you not, either I’m easily amused or that is by far one of the coolest characters ever created.
According to Hollywood Reporter, The producers of Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans have bought the screen rights to the cult sci-fi noir novel GUN, WITH OCCASIONAL MUSIC by Jonathan Lethem, published by Harcourt Brace in 1994
The story is about a private eye going through Oakland and San Francisco to investigate the murder of a prominent urologist, he encounters super-smart children called “baby-heads,” evolved animals and animal rights, erotic nerve swapping, debit cards holding one’s karma and a… menacing kangaroo that works for the mob.. he’s the dude on the right in the cover image above, that’s freakin’ awesome…

Here’s the official synopsis of the book…
From the celebrated author of Motherless Brooklyn, a wry, satiric parable of a hardboiled man out of time Gumshoe Conrad Metcalf has problems-not the least of which are the rabbit in his waiting room and the trigger-happy kangaroo on his tail.
Near-future Oakland is an ominous place where evolved animals function as members of society, the police monitor citizens by their karma levels, and mind-numbing drugs such as Forgettol and Acceptol are all the rage. In this brave new world, Metcalf has been shadowing the wife of an affluent doctor, perhaps falling a little in love with her at the same time. But when the
doctor turns up dead, our amiable investigator finds himself caught in the crossfire in a futuristic world that is both funny-and not so funny.
