Firstly, this is extremely hard for me to write. The loss of such a unique and monumental artistic force is one thing, and the loss of such a special friend is another.
We first connected via a phone call one week out from shooting The Road. Cormac lifted a huge weight from me by simply pointing out that “a book is a book, and a film is a film”, two distinctly different mediums and that I should go make my movie – having not even seen a script. Later when shooting on location he shared his appreciation for the realism that we were utilizing via America’s disaster zones.
