I greet this with mixed feelings, for sure! Scott untethered by any glammy
producers may do a great job -- if he remembers back to his days directing
such masterpieces as Alien and Blade Runner.

When I was reading the book, I could not get two actors out of my mind --
Nick Stahl as the kid, and Lance Henriksen as Glanton.
