Does anyone have a link or file to The New World screenplay, which was online a few months ago? I can't seem to find it anywhere now, though I'm certain that...
... Maybe the 'extended cut' will surface later, but it seems that it is, at best, on the back burner right now, because Malick is getting traction now on his...
From what I know, a substantial portion of the film is going to be shot in Smithville, Texas. We've all heard the India rumors from last year, so there's still...
Craig: You're holding out on us--can you give a few more tidbits from the casting session? You have to know this is precious info to all Malick fans! My first...
This is totally OT, but I thought some people here might be interested to hear about the first ever overseas "Global Primary" set up by an organisation called...
Well, I haven't made a secret of it at work, so there's no point in being coy here. La Clinton, whom I originally supported despite the fact that she reminds...
Agape: I appreciate your posting this info. Let us know the results among expats, okay? To respond to your other post, I'm leaning towards Obama myself, and...
Angela, Interestingly, these two issues are not as separate as they might appear. For many, (if we were privy to the dark, secret truth) I think the choice...
Oscar: I always appreciate your take on life. Maybe there's been a few columns written about the lesser of two prejudices idea--or is everyone too PC these...
Angela, Home briefly for lunch. I'm sure all of our hopes for change are probably more pie in the sky than harsh reality will dictate down the line. Still,...
Sorry for the delayed response. I don't know if/where Tree of Life will be filming outside of central Texas, however... I did fly to Texas this week, to...
I was able to fly to Texas this past week, to visit my parents currently staying in Galveston. I also journeyed to Smithville and through to Austin, to have a...
Seems like a good and neatly tied up theory Tim. So why not? Our genes seem to be encoded for violence so that explains a lot regarding the human behavior...
Tim, It's a shame you couldn't have made that horrible drive (through or around Houston) from Galveston to Smithville in the spring, when the wildflowers,...
... expats, okay? To respond to your other post, I'm leaning towards Obama myself, and wouldn't it be amazing to see him get elected? In all the articles I've...
Hello all- I got some photos back from a trip to central Texas (Tree of Life country) last week that I will try to upload. I emailed a few pictures to my Mom...
I see that today is Charles Darwin's birthday. I've recently become immersed in reading somebody whose life's work grew out of an evolutionary perspective...
Hello, I am tempted to read all the information on this board about the Tree of Life, but last time I did that (before The New World came out) I had already...
Agape: Thanks for all this additional info. That Brooklyn business person articulates for me part of Obama's appeal: he looks more like a *world* leader rather...
Oscar: Interesting--my brother and I have always joked that we have "bad DNA" from our father's side (incidentally, he is full-blood Czech). I suppose my life...
Angela, Your relatively short comment deserves a longer response than I can give it right now. But I like to think I'm reasonably intelligent, at least by your...
Tim: I checked out the Smithville, TX pics you posted--reminds me of lots of small towns I've seen, only better. : ) How does one transplant a huge tree? Young...
Tim, I just wanted to thank you for all the front-line reporting on ToL you've been doing. I must admit to having had a momentary sophmoric vision of the...

Malick officially shooting in Smithville By Chris Garcia | Tuesday, February 12, 2008, 02:07 PM The Statesman's Michael Corcoran — sort of a blend of Bob...
So TREE OF LIFE - this film set in the 50s, shot in Texas, with a big oak tree (sounds great to me) - is apparently NOT the re-visioning of the abandoned 'Q'...
Tim: Thanks for posting...while reading Eiseley's words below, I see a resemblance to lots of Malick's writing, but especially to a short passage from the...
I'm still led to believe that it's one and the same film, that it will be set only partly in the 50's era. The little hints that are leaked from his...
