According to IMDb, he adapted it for the screen himself, but it's based on his play so he might not have actually made any changes at all–it certainly still is a two-man, one location play, just on film. Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson are brilliant.

Chris Cunningham is almost done with the prologue of his first feature. Hopefully it will succeed in getting him the funding required to have it out before 2089.

Yes, he is shooting some of it on a DICOMAR. Stand down, you cinephile fucks.

A better question would be "Is Cormac McCarthy related to Melissa?" Because if he is, that would make the writers for this site even more interested in him.

McCarthy is a genius writer and this sounds fascinating. Hopefully they'll find a worthy director. Andrew Dominik would be amazing and he seems available too now that Cogan's Trade must be close to finished and ready for release.

Dude loves him some McCarthy.
