Have any of you read the excellent book 'into the wild' by Jon Krakauer?
If you have then you may be pleased to know that film is currently in production and should be released sometime next year, although i doubt it will be on at any of the mainstream cinemas but hopefully worth tracking down to see.
I have mixed feelings about it as i doubt the film will truely reflect the spirit and drive of chris mccandless and it may be inflicted with a dose of hollywood cheese but i do have respect for sean penn (director) as he seems to prefer to do 'indi' films where the story line is more important than mass profit. i'm also worried that it may inspire less intelligent people to follow in his footseps and make the same mistakes.
I just hope it's not another 'alive' film.
