Sometimes you can tell more about a war now by paralleling a previous war.". Mikko Alanne scripted Pinkville, which reportedly begins filming next year. (IGN FilmForce)

Thirteen Moons Oct 1, 2006
The story largely unfolds in what we now think of as the East, but the novel is essentially a Western, an exploration of a youthful America's frontier that's akin to such apparently inspirational antecedents as Larry McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove," A.B. Guthrie's "The Big Sky" and, in particular, Thomas Berger's "Little Big Man.". "Thirteen Moons" tells this familiar story from the perspective of the dispossessed Indian rather than the acquisitive white man. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
