Stuttering Bill doesn't stutter?
With everybody talking about faithfulness to the novel or lack there of it got me thinking about Bill and his stutter. Will he stutter in this adaptation? How would you feel if he didn't? Sure it is a unique character trait and it is more relevant in some situations like The Ritual of Chud, but it could be easily done without. My thinking is that actors routinely look stupid trying to fake a stutter and the spirit of the novel can still be had without the on screen distraction of having an actor try and stutter. How would such a change make you feel?
