Terrance Malick has achieved the same stature as Stanley Kubrick because of his willingness to put years into making films whose themes are always larger than life and that challenge conventional story telling. And, like Kubrick, his films drive studios mad with schedule slips and cost overruns. His latest endeavor is film is due out in early September, and has been the focus of intense speculation due to the secrecy about the story line. The film somehow integrates the themes of evolution to the life to that of a middle American family in the 1950's. It actually includes film sequences of dinosaurs.
It sounds like a stretch to me, and could backfire for being too abstract or pretentious. But I'm a fan of Malick and hope he pulls this one off.
