Keith Simanton's 16 Sundance 2015 Films I'm Most Excited to See3 of 16
Title: Z FOR ZACHARIAH
Plot: In the wake of a disaster that wipes out most of civilization, two men and a young woman find themselves in an emotionally charged love triangle as the last known survivors.
Stars: Chris Pine, Margot Robbie, Chiwetel Ejiofor
Scoop: I like the cast but it's the novel, that I read when I was a teenager, that attracts me. That it was written by Robert C. O'Brien, who also wrote "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of N.I.M.H." (which they based SECRET OF N.I.M.H. on), is just one of the many fascinating aspects of this 1974, pre-Y.A. classic book. Zobel directed 2012's Sundance buzz-film COMPLIANCE. Somehow I think this combination works.
