Andrew Wyeth fans are a legion. Many consider the artist to be the "People's Painter" and quite possibly America's most beloved visual craftsman in the mid-20th century, before the Modernist movement took hold of the art world and abstract subjects became in vogue.

However, did you know that the story of Andrew Wyeth's life, especially his relationship with his father and his son have been deemed dramatic enough to create a feature-length film? The Wyeth movie will cast the prolific painter in a completely fresh light and expose the influences, mechanisms, and tragedies that fueled and inspired one of America's favorite creative souls.

If you are not familiar with his work, Andrew Wyeth is best described as a regional naturalist and realist painter, replicating subjects in stark detail and with remarkable accuracy. He faithfully painted landscapes and human figures that existed within close proximity of his home in rural Pennsylvania. This artist created a long line of art work that emphasized the beauty of nature and the simplicity of its inhabitants.

The Andrew Wyeth Movie

Currently titled "Wyeth", the movie line was written in 2008 and personally approved by Andrew Wyeth himself, who cited a desire for the screenwriter "not to take it easy on him at all." The project not only has Andrew's personal blessing, but also the approval of the Wyeth family, who have confirmed that the events in the screenplay are based on facts and actual events. Unfortunately, ninety-five year-old Andrew passed away in late 2009, before the film could be completed.

Prestigious Backing

The Wyeth movie is being executively produced and funded by Snow Hill Productions. Mary Kemper Wolf, who directed '120 Wooster Street' on PBS, is expected to assist with the production. In addition, the screenplay was penned by film veteran Frank Barhydt, who has written many scripts for the venerable Robert Altman, including 'The Player', 'Short Cuts', and 'Kansas City'.

Other big names currently attached to the project are Eric Keith, the CEO of the Capstone Entertainment Group, and veteran film producer David Rosenfield. The budget for the film is now listed as $7.5 million. Although this figure is relatively low compared to average Hollywood productions, it is considered a decently large budget for an independent film. The Wyeth movie is expected to eventually make the rounds through film festivals.

Andrew's son Jamie, who is also an important character in the film, is listed as a consulting producer for the work, so fans can be assured that the material will be truthful.

Pre-Production Rumors

Wolf has been trying to shoot the Wyeth movie in Maine due to the family's association with the area and because of the lush, undiscovered beauty of the rural locations. She had intended to shoot in Massachusetts, but a friend and advocate of Maine convinced her otherwise.

Wolf is currently contacting collectors that hold expensive Wyeth originals in order to tempt them to participate in the project, which would help offset the fact that Maine presents a very limited incentive package (usually in the form of tax breaks) to film crews. The state of Maine offers a 9% tax incentive, compared to the 25% that is available in Massachusetts and in parts of Canada. The Maine Film Office has arranged a meeting between the governor of Maine, John Baldacci, and state agencies to see if an exception can be made due to not only the prestige of the Wyeth name, but also to the interesting history it has brought to Maine.

To attract a big-name director for the Wyeth movie is Wolf's intention. She has not yet divulged the identity of that director, but, if successful, it will most likely bring much attention to the project and possibly additional funding.

If everything goes according to plan, the Wyeth movie is slated to begin shooting early in 2011, and is looking at a 2012 release.

The film is aimed at capturing the complicated relationship between three generations of famous American artists, and will surely reveal interesting facts about Andrew Wyeth's personal life and family. Fans of Wyeth's work are advised to stay tuned as the production process continues. We will, without a doubt, be thrilled with the end result.

It can only take a moment to change your life and that is what happened to two young children, Lou Cardinal and her younger brother, Oz.

While in the car with their parents one day, they were involved in a car accident. Their father was killed and the mother left in a catatonic state. Their mother did everything she possibly could during the accident to protect the children from being injured.

Now the children and the mother were going to live with their great-grandmother on her farm in Virginia. Compared to living in New York, this was a drastic change. The nurse who accompanied them on the trip started to mention her "demands" to the great-grandmother. It did not take long for the great-grandmother to tell the nurse that she was not needed. It would surely take the children some getting "used to" and little by little, that is what they did. The cows had to be milked and the food came from the farm - not the local store.

When a corporation wanted to buy the great-grandmother's land, she wanted no part of it. It soon turns into an exciting court battle.

What happens to the land and the children?

David Baldacci is known for writing many mystery books. This one is not a mystery and is quite different compared to any other books he has written. When an author can "cross over" and write a book completely different from anything he has done in the past, it goes to show that he has the skill and expertise to be a versatile writer, which is something that many authors cannot do.

Mr. Baldacci definitely shows his writing talent with this book. The one thing I became aware of while listening to this audio CD is how very descriptive his words come across. The listener really gets a good idea of how everything looked and could picture in their mind exactly what he was talking about. The reader, Nora Lana, does an excellent job in portraying all the emotion that is taking place throughout this audio CD. This is a captivating story and one that you will enjoy. Be prepared for a big surprise at the end!
