The long Walk being filmed

Powerline blog reports that The Long Walk has been released as a film "The Way Back".

Since it's done by Peter Weir, it might be worth seeing.



I read the book years ago, and it is a classic survival story about a few people who escape from a Russian concentration camp and walked over the Himalayas to India. And yes, one of those walking was a woman, so this is not a politically correct invention.

Two incidents in the book stuck in my mind: they ate snake, and they actually saw the Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas, even though they had never heard of that legend of the Yeti. (It is one of the reasons that I think that the Yeti might be real, not a legend exaggerated to make money).

Well, anyway, if they filmed it right it will make a good movie.

Now, if they would only make a film about Father Cizek's survival in the Gulag....
