Movie Trailer heads up thread.

THE WORLD had teeth and it could bite you with them anytime it wanted. Trisha McFarland discovered this when she was nine years old. 
At ten o'clock on a morning in early June she was sitting in the back seat of her mother's Dodge Caravan, wearing her blue Red Sox batting practice jersey (the one with 36 GORDON on the back) and playing with Mona, her doll. 

At ten thirty she was lost in the woods.

Great Scott! I'd always wondered if anyone would attempt a film adaptation of that.
And it now appears that it's in the works.  Wuuuuuuuuut????

I am losing my fucking mind over this! No trailer yet, but goddamn, I LOVED that novel. 

The story's about a kid who becomes irretrievably lost in deep, deep wilderness while hiking the Appalachian Trail with her mom and brother and soon finds herself in the grip of a deadly illness on top of quickly being done in by starvation, exposure, and severe dehydration. Though she's unsure if she's actually being tormented by the sick and malevolent God of the Lost that keeps appearing to her or if she's simply experiencing hallucinations, she does know two things for certain: She is being stalked by something. And that her is number just about up.

And she has nothing but the recollection of a well-meaning, but weak and essentially ineffectual deistic presence her father had speculated on in the past and nonchalantly dubbed The Subaudible-- and a Walkman in which she can occasionally hear the love of her life play baseball--to comfort her as she struggles to survive.

A riveting and beautifully written story. Made me tear up a little bit, tbh.
Just a little bit.

Could've been allergies though, maybe...Lol
