    Original screenplay by Cormac McCarthy + Scott + Pitt.

    Perhaps the most impressive ensemble cast this year.

    Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Dean Norris, Rosie Perez, John Leguizamo, Natalie Dormer and Goran Visnjic.

    Some of this screenplay was in the New Yorker fiction issue earlier this summer... let me say as one of the most ardent Cormac McCarthy fanboys on the planet, it left a lot to be desired. At least that excerpt seemed like a parody of C.M. I am not holding my breath on this one.

    Rosie Perez portrayed the most annoying character in all of cinematic history in White Men Can't Jump.

    But hopefully this movie is good.

    Not a huge Dan of cormac McCarty or brad Pitt, but looks interesting. But i like Riey Scott and Dean Norris is a bad ass, I wonder what role he will play

    The last time we had Javier Bardem in a Cormac McCarthy piece, we got No Country for Old Men. That was a great flick.

    I hope this one will be good too.

    B-Bob's caution has me a bit scared because I'm a big Cormac McCarthy fan as well. I didn't read any of the New Yorker piece, so I don't know.
