John Logan Tapped to Write Film Adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s ‘Blood Meridian’


"Gladiator" writer John Logan will adapt Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy’s "Blood Meridian" novel into a feature film for John Hillcoat.

Based on historical conflicts along the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, “Blood Meridian” follows the journey of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old from Tennessee, as he navigates the brutal and harrowing landscape of this new era. “‘Blood Meridian’ is one of the most revered novels in American literature, from one of the greatest writers,” New Regency chairman and CEO Yariv Milchan and president of motion pictures and television Natalie Lehmann said in a joint statement. His prolific talent and remarkable track record consistently demonstrate his ability to transform cherished stories and texts into cinematic accomplishments.”
