CT as the wife, has 8 seconds of screen time matching her relative "book" time, if it's a 2 hour movie (not film). 3. visuals will "sell" the movie, since the lack of character conversation in the book led to introspection. 4. yes, the screen caps are Too Bright, but i understand that this is the flickering image adaptation of a book. 5. finally, if and when it's released, i will pay to see it. there's so little advance, it might be exhibited for one week. 1. the boy was unborn during the “long shear of light”.

A book hasn't sat with me for this long in ages. I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. BUT, I agree, the mother character (Charlize) better not be in for longer than a couple 30 second flashbacks and the characters should be as ageless and nameless as the book. It is father and son- nothing else. And as far as casting goes, it looks ideal to me. The boy was of no specified age. I can’t wait to see this. A book hasn’t sat with me for this long in ages.

This is an awesome story. The casting is near-perfect save the kid being younger in the book. I'm impressed though, I'm really going to go see this movie anyway despite the scare factor, and how I may not sleep that night. The book was just as good as the movie. I say read it before you go see the movie. I haven't done that with other book/movie combos. I read the book for school years ago. This is an awesome story.

The sun is hardly there, is a point the book makes over and over. The clothes are are in better condition than I had constructed in my head. I agree with ty that the mother should be strictly flashback - this is not some human version of Disney's "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey".
