Display easel art for the silver screen: Cormac McCarthy movie adaptations pt. 1
Cormac McCarthy’s dark, bloody and often apocalyptic novels for the longest time were said to be unfilmable, but it wasn’t until the Coen brothers directed an adaptation of McCarthy’s novel No Country For Old Men that people thought again about the possibility of adapting his work for the silver screen. McCarthy is not a prolific writer, with only ten novels in more than forty years but already three of them have been adapted for the screen. Some of his novels, namely “Child of God†and “Suttree†seem too dark and grotesque even for Hollywood, but you never know, No Country For Old Men was dark but the Coen brothers were able to turn it into art worthy of display easel. Here is a list of current and future Cormac McCarthy film adaptations.
No Country for Old Men
Winning four Academy Awards, The Coeh brothers opus, No Country For Old Men successfully adapted and stayed truthful to Cormac McCarthy’s 2005 novel. The film was a breakthrough picture for Josh Brolin and Javiar Bardem and solidifying Tommy Lee Jones as one of the most underrated dramatic actors of our generation. With No Country for Old Men more and more actors and directors thought about adapting McCarthy’s other novels into full length motion pictures. While there may be other directors that adapt his books into film, it is hard to think of any other directors as capable as the Coen brothers who can make a movie as perfect as No Country for Old Men.
The Road
With only a few small pictures and 2005’s Australian Western, “The Proposition†under his belt, John Hillcoat had his work cut out for him in adapting one of Cormac McCarthy’s most bleak and sad novels, “The Road†into a full length motion picture. With powerful leading actor Viggo Mortensen in the main role as a father who is traveling through a post-apocalyptic wasteland with his son. Production began in 2006 with a relatively small budget of $20 million and with a large amount of filming done in Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Oregon, with specific locations picked out for their barren look to fit the post-apocalyptic style of the novel.
