I just starting reading that book yesterday. I had no idea they were making a movie. I might see it if I enjoy the rest of the book. Yay!

I don't know if the movie will be as profound as the book. The thing that got me the most about the book was the fact that you never really knew anything
for certain. For instance, McCarthy never went into detail about what the father and the son looked like but in the movie that'll be obvious.
I'm guessing Charlize's character will have a bigger presence than in the book, right? I'm excited for this movie!! |

She better not. The wife was in the book for all of a page or two. I hope they keep this as true to the story as possible cause this is one of my favorite
books.

Gah! I just finished reading this book a few weeks ago and loved it. I love Charlize too so I'm really excited. They're really really going to have to
extend her part a LOT though
 I'm guessing they'll be showing a lot of flashbacks...maybe. I'm sure it'll be amazing.

They better not screw this up. I'm pretty sure they are going to cut two specific scenes that pretty much made this book. They'll be shocking to
audiences but they're extremely important imo.

I'm interested in seeing this movie. Is Guy Pearce supposed to be in this too? Yes, I just checked Imdb. Sounds good to me. Why is Guy Pearce doing and
Adam Sandler movie?

I really hope that this movie will be good. I adored the book. I hope they don't cut a thing from it... it wouldn't be the same. That is my biggest pet
peeve when they make books into movies. I'll bet that this will be a visually stunning movie, or at least I hope it is.
