Columbia pictures has picked up the rights to Matt Bondurant's yet to be published novel "The Wettest Country in the World" based on some true life gangster who are actually Bondurant's grandfather and two granduncles. This moonshine gang operated in Franklin County, Virginia. "The novel, to be published by Scribner/Simon & Schuster in October, draws its roots from Bondurant's grandfather and two granduncles, who made up a fierce criminal gang at the center of the country's moonshine trade. The three brothers were eventually killed in 1930 after they refused to join the illegal cartel set up by Commonwealth's Attorney Carter Lee, grandnephew of Robert E. Lee. Carter Lee was subsequently tried for conspiracy." John Hillcoat, who directed The Road which we're all looking forward to, is attached to the project. He also did the Aussie western The Proposition, and whenever I think about that movie I'm always reminded of the Darwin monkey scene, brilliant.
