Years after All the Pretty Horses hit the big screen (somewhat ingloriously) and freshly on the heels of the Coen Brothers' No Country for Old Men, Cormac McCarthy is vogue in Hollywood.
First up, The Road is set to come out Novermber 26. Then, Outer Dark, early Appalachian McCarthy, will follow soon after.
Cities of the Plain and Blood Meridian are also both in the works, although Blood Meridian just changed hands. Of all these, The Road probably sets up most easily for the box office, it would be the most difficult project:
Making Blood Meridian into a movie is like making Moby Dick into a filmstrip or making The Idiot into a Hallmark Special. But Todd Field will try.
After a trip to Barnes and Noble, I have lots of reading to do. But suddenly, I'd like to go back and re-read Blood Meridian.
