The TIFF Sales Pitch: A Peter Weir film starring Colin Farrell and Ed Harris you may see at TIFF 2010
EXTRACT:
Q: What’s The Way Back about?
A: It’s about seven guys who escaped from a Russian labour camp during the war and they walked thousands of miles from north Siberia.
Q: You’re using the past tense — so it’s a true story?
A: Yeah, I am. They go down through the Siberian sort of wasteland, through the Gobi Desert, through the Himalayas and escaped into India. It’s inspired by a book called The Long Walk, which is by a Polish guy called Slavomir Rawicz. Is it a true story? There’s been a lot of conjecture whether he made it up. But it’s based on true events that happened at that time, people who made long walks back from Soviet camps. It’s an amazing story of survival and triumph of the human spirit over the geography they had to go through. It’s a fantastic story. So that’s in post-production now. It wasn’t ready for Toronto.
Q: When will it be ready?
A: Oh, probably around the end of the year. And then in terms of release date, sometime next year.
