Who's Making It:
Scott Rudin (Producer); based on the novel by Cormac McCarthy.
Premise: In the 1840's, a young runaway boy begins to ride with the Glanton Gang, commissioned to remove American Indians from areas around the American/Mexican border. It's a dirty job, but it gets even dirtier after they are joined by the evil Judge Holden.
Release Date: Unknown.
Comments: McCarthy seems to have more names referenced in conjunction with this book than most novels outside of Joyce: Dostoyevsky, Melville, Milton, Faulkner, Conrad -- these are just the tip of the iceberg. It sounds as if a good transition from page to screen can occur, this film might definitely have something.
Rumors: Unknown.
