More McCarthy
So that rumor about Aronofsky adapating The Road wasn't quite true; but one of his producers, Nick Weschler, did grab up the rights, and has attached a different director to the project: John Hillcoat, who directed The Proposition. That film had quite a few tonal similarities to some of McCarthy's westerns; I'd say it's a pretty suitable match.
This is all via Variety, where it is also mentioned that Weschler's partners are also backing Terence Malick's next film.
In a related note, it's come to my attention that Nick Cave is following up his score for The Proposition by composing the music for that upcoming western with the amazing title, The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford.
