Don't mention the cannibals! They had about 3 sentences devoted to them in the book, and were there for atmosphere!!! I hope Hollywood doesn't bow down to the unread masses, as they do, and make a big thing of the cannibals and wandering bands of killers etc. Please don't muck it up!! Actually, it's being directed by the same guy who did The Proposition. So I'm keeping my hopes up that it will stay true to the story. And ignore the cannibals entirely if possible. It's a love story after all! The gore and doom are simply there for effect :) Gahhhh! Don’t mention the cannibals!
