Weir To Direct ‘The Way Back’
On October 17th, 2008
One of my favorite directors, Peter Weir, is set to direct The Way Back. Weir also wrote the script which is a fact-based story of the escape of soldiers from a Siberian gulag in 1940.
The film goes into production in March in Bulgaria.
Variety reported that Weir used several sources, most notably the Slavomir Rawicz book “The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom.” Book is Rawicz’s account of being captured by the Red Army in 1939 and his journey to freedom with other inmates. The group crossed the Siberian arctic, the Gobi desert and the Himalayas, finally settling in Tibet and India.
Hollywood continues to hide from the looming, indeed, damning implications
of 4 decades of unflinching franchise slum catering to the denial needs of
history's –MOST– awesomely genocidal regime bar none —ACROSS the Pacific
with tired, done-to-death, anachronistic WWII moral alibis.
WEIR, genuinely talented and LONG rich, the director of so many daringly
wonderful pictures, ALAS has joined the pack by baulking utterly the staggeringly
relevant, urgently important, once again 'overlooked' 60th Anniversary of the
KOREAN WAR —in 2010.
