Now I wonder how "The Road" will be treated!
I figured “No Country for Old Men” would do well in nominations. I think Josh Brolin should have been nominated for best actor though. And Tommy Lee Jones is always excellent. Too bad two Supporting Actor nods can't come from same film, eh?
Cormac McCarthy Wrote Book “No Country for Old Men” Now in production and pre-production are: Blood Meridian (2009) The Road (2008) Looking forward to how they (especially The Road) are treated in movie genre Influenced by: Fyodor Dostoevsky, Herman Melville, and William Faulkner Lives in Tesuque, NM just north of Santa Fe. Wonder why I like NM artists and writers so much?  Talent "pools" there? All the Pretty Horses (1992) was his first book made into a movie. It has recently been on network TV (Matt Damon). His Novels The Orchard Keeper (1965) Outer Dark (1968) Child of God (1974) Suttree (1979) Blood Meridian, Or the Evening Redness in the West (1985) All the Pretty Horses (1992) The Crossing (1994) Cities of the Plain (1998) His Plays The Stonemason: A Play in Five Acts (1994) The Gardener's Son: A Screenplay (1996) He is pretty much a recluse. Doesn’t lecture. Doesn’t indulge in the usual literary circuit crapola. I like that! 4 comments from 3 users

Some people find Cormac's writing pretentious, some violent, others just plain "odd" (punctuation not of your grammar school type) If the get the right actors and directors, The Road and Blood Meridian will be equally great! posted by

I read a review of The Road. It sounds like an interesting read with the potential to be a good movie. I did some looking and it appears Viggo Mortensen is being cast as the father.

Well then I am going to see it~Viggo Mortensen is a fantastic actor,a man in every sense of the word..and not too hard on the eyes either.
