BLOOD MERIDIAN 1850S SET HISTORICAL NOVEL TO BE TURNED INTO AN EPIC MOVIE

   BLOOD MERIDIAN   
GETTING A BIG SCREEN TREATMENT
John Hillcoat will direct the adaptation
It was supposed to be adapted for the big screen back in 2011 but now three time Oscar nominee John Logan has been set to give BLOOD MERIDIAN historical novel by Cormac McCarthy a big screen treatment. John Hillcoat will direct the movie with the story following historical conflicts along the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s. The novel follows the journey of the Kid, a 14-year-old from Tennessee, as he navigates the brutal and harrowing landscape of this new era. The novel has been a hit since it was published back in 1985 written by the Pulitzer Prize winning author. Hope the big screen movie adaptation will not be too bloody, though.

  1. I gotta find the book to read first...always find the books are better. We just finished watching a French series called Anthracite. It was okay.

  2. I must be living under a rock because I've never heard of this award winning book. While it's not the kind of story that I'd gravitate towards, I may have to add it to my ereader, then maybe watch this afterwards.
