When news broke last year of John Hillcoat adapting Blood Meridian, I had expressed some hope for similar treatment bestowed upon Cormac McCarthy’s final novels The Passenger and Stella Maris. This desire was almost entirely quixotic; his swan song is an über-nihilistic encyclopedic thriller, at least one-third of which is a two-person dialogue on the history of math, physics, the Manhattan Project (far more compellingly than Oppenheimer), God’s existence, and wanting to fuck your own brother, with a protagonist rather convincingly written as the smartest person alive. It is really not suggestive of a financeable movie.
No doubt emboldened The Bikeriders, however, Jeff Nichols will give it a shot. Speaking to Awards Watch, the writer-director revealed New Regency will back the effort, whether it’s one film or two (I can take a guess) or even arrives anytime soon; Nichols is also planning to adapt David Grann’s...

Jeff Nichols is reportedly looking to adapt Cormac McCarthy’s final two novels for what may be his follow-up project to The Bikeriders.
Cormac McCarthy was a legendary American writer and his works have led to a number of films that have varied in quality. From out and out brilliance, such as The Road or No Country For Old Men to projects that deserve a second look such as Ridley Scott’s The Counselor (for which McCarthy penned the script), there’s always something to admire about the writer’s work.
One filmmaker who seems particularly engaged with McCarthy’s work is Jeff Nichols. Nichols has his first film in seven years due out soon, The Bikeriders. That film is a period drama which boasts an impressive ensemble cast that saw its release delayed due to last year’s strikes meaning that said cast couldn’t promote it.

Cormac McCarthy indexed humanity’s worst self-inflictions––serial killers, cannibals, necrophilia, infanticide, criminal empires of unfathomable evil, a post-apocalyptic world so unsparing that its dead were only envied. But his brother-sister duet The Passenger and Stella Maris ascended the Manhattan Project and its destructions towards some other plane entirely, an awe-radiating, man-made doomsday of historical record. In the months since reading them I’ve found it near-impossible shaking an insistence made by the latter novel’s protagonist:
“But anyone who doesn’t understand that the Manhattan Project is one of the most significant events in human history hasn’t been paying attention. It’s up there with fire and language. It’s at least number three and it may be number one. We just don’t know yet. But we will.”
Needless to say McCarthy was not the first person who posited this idea, nor with––some eight months later...

Hey, "Bold And The Beautiful" fans. Wow, finally they got the big Steffy sleeping with Bill scene out of the way in today's November 16,2017 episode. And Steffy was definitely singing a different tune when it came to forgiving Liam. What we find interesting about this situation is that Liam was honest and immediately told Steffy about his indiscretion. On the other hand, we don't see that same honesty being returned from Steffy. We really hope Liam finds out somehow so he can know that Steffy isn't the goody two shoes she's tries to pretend to be. We do know she's going to keep her Bill affair a secret for quite a while. It'll still be a secret around Thanksgiving time, and who knows how long after that? We'll just have to wait and see. We've got the CBS storyline teasers for tomorrow's week-ending Friday, November 17,2017 episode. It sounds like it'll...

Hot new star Samantha Ruth Prabhu, or more commonly just Samantha, received rave reviews for the romantic Yemaya Chesave opposite Naga Chaitanye. “Everyone's calling me and saying it's their story,” she says, “The biggest problem in relationships is not the outsider, it's the couple alone who are responsible for the conflict. My parents haven't seen the film yet, they don't know how big it is.” The film includes a continuous shot in the Hitchcock style filmed in Hyde Park in London.
Now, the former graduate of Stella Maris college and model, already being hailed as the new Ayesha Takia looks set to create a big hit in the Tollywood movie Brindavanam. The big budget movie also stars Junior Ntr and Kajal Agarwal and is predicted to be a monster.
Samantha’s sudden fame hasn’t fazed her and she is determined to take each day as it comes. “I haven't set any goals for myself,...
