I could not agree more. I did not even know they were making a movie about one of my favorite books. Also, We get Worthington? The Sam Worthington? I mean is this a indie type film or is a major distributor running this film? Also we have Octiva Spencer and another big name that now I forgot. I am very surprised with the cast, especially if it is a small film and with the subject matter. I would have expected some old TV stars or something lining out the cast. It was an awesome book and cannot wait for the trailer. I hope they did follow the book as it was an amazing story.

100% agree. The casting was absolutely fantastico. Sam and wife were awesome but the Holy Trinity blew me away.....really loved the two Papas! I like what Papa 1 said, "I didn't think you needed a father figure so I presented myself as a Mother figure for your benefit (my paraphrase) and then when he had to go deal with the murder scene, Papa was now Father, and he said, "I think you need a Father now...". Wow, pretty insightful!

What a great way to make a point!

Agreed.

I agree, HE WAS SO GOOD. I cried because he made me feel so sorry for him, his pain was so felt, unlike Casey Affleck's role in Man by the Sea....UGH
