Will the Monkey Wrench Gang movie ever get made?
Posted by admin on April 5, 2008Reports on whether the Monkey Wrench Gang will ever be made into a movie have been stragglin out over the past few years, taking us to the edge of the canyon; but nobody has managed to push this thing off the edge yet.
There have been reports that Robert Redford and Sean Penn were going to be involved as some point, but the most recent information available shows the following ensemble cast:
Richard Dreyfuss
John Goodman
Matthew McConaughey
Jack Nicholson
Elisabeth Shue
No word on the IMDB on this yet; check back here for updates.
I too am waiting to hear any news about whether it will be made or not. THe cast looks great, I just hope it actually gets made and is made well..
All right, now I can “comment.”
Forget the movie. It’s been a bad idea all along. We tried to make it in the 70s and it wouldn’t go without compromising Ed’s novel. No one would invest in a violent environmental movie. Who would make a hero out of ecoterrorists these days?
Forget it. Buy the books and hand them out on street corners. If they can’t read, fuck ‘em!
Take em out to the desert and make em walk home. Best learnin’ there is.
