Great Script
Heard Brody signed on.
shareRemake of 'perched on a tree' with Louis de funes..the drama version of course
But that's what I call an original plot for a huis clos..
Actually it sounds to me like a poor copy of J.G. Ballard's novel "Concrete Island". In that story a man wrecks his car and becomes hopelessly stranded in a walled-off wasteland between major highways.
shareWell done that man. I read the book years ago and have been scraping bits of brain out trying to remember the name of it since I heard of Wrecked, in part because I lived very close to the Westway.
I think at least part of the reason you consider it to be a poor copy is because it isn't a copy at all. Concrete Island is superficially the same but is basically a metaphysical look at what society considers a success today, to the extent that the protagonist eventually undergoes a radical change in his life by reassessing all his priorities.
Wrecked on the other hand is a survival story, the only mystery being that The Man can't remember how he came to be in his predicament. His hallucinations are due to shock and he is eventually able to make his way to the road and recall the events that put him there.
Adrien Brophy did an amazing job with this film; it's a pity that it will never get the exposure it deserves.
There is talk, apparently, of a film version of J G Ballard's story with Christian Bale as the lead. I do hope that will go forward.
In the meantime thanks again for rescuing my sanity.
