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.
Sounds good to me!
ReplyDeleteGlad you think so, Ray
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHave not heard of that one.
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteYou were little when it came out.
