According to Collider, The Promised Land (adaption of Matt Bondurant novel The Wettest Country In The World ) that was set to start filming soon won’t soon make it to production due to financial issues. This is what Director John Hillcoat’s production diary (as published in the UK tabloid The Telegraph, so take anything it says lightly):

My own new project – with a much-loved script by Nick Cave and a dream all-star cast – has fallen apart. The finance company that we began The Road with has also fallen apart, having to radically downsize to one remaining staff member. The great divide has begun, with only very low-budget films being made or huge 3-D franchise films – the birth of brand films such as Barbie, Monopoly: The Movie – who knows what’s next, Coca-Cola: The Movie?

I end the year appropriately – gazing into the apocalypse of my own industry.

We’re sorry to see it go, this was the most anticipated of all of Shia’s upcoming films for the SLO staff (with the exception of Indiana Jones 5, of course) and we hope it does get off the ground someday with current cast still on board.
