"In an interview on the Catholic cable channel EWTN, Estevez joked about the horror of making the pitch for this movie about a pilgrimage – no massive special effects, no parade of gore or bedroom scenes with nudity. It’s just an old man hiking across Spain with three people he meets along the way. It’s a small movie, made on a small budget. It’s about our humanity and our spirituality. It’s so easy to imagine Tinseltown’s eyes glazing over.
What Estevez said in that interview was still striking. “Hollywood is a very difficult place to be earnest and be heartfelt. And I am not interested in making films that are anything but. There’s a lot of vulgarity in films. There’s a lot of violence, casual sex – things that make me uncomfortable watching – and I’m not interested in perpetuating that message.” It must be difficult making that statement when your brother is Charlie Sheen."
Hrm, even though it stars Martin Sheen (Estevez's Father and liberal wingnut), this may still be worth looking in to.

I read about this earlier and would love to see this movie. Sounds beautiful and touching.

I heard Sheen and Estevez interviewed about this movie on the radio a week or two ago, and it sounded very interesting.
