Jon Krakauer - Into The Wild & Under the Banner of Heaven

I’ve had some incredibly lucky breaks in my life, including having 2 of my books adapted brilliantly for the screen: Into the Wild, by @seanpenn, released in 2007; and Under the Banner of Heaven, by @dlanceblack, which is streaming right now on Hulu. No less incredibly, the soundtracks for both projects were created by musicians in my favorite band, Pearl Jam: @eddievedder wrote most of the miraculous tracks for Into the Wild, and Jeff Ament @officialament created the ominous, eerie, perfect score for Under the Banner of Heaven (with Josh Klinghoffer, John Wicks, and Josh Evans). Hit the link in my profile to read a fascinating piece about how Jeff worked his magic. 4th shot of Jeff composing by Josh Klinghoffer

    Another one of his books, Into Thin Air, is a non-fiction masterpiece. The movie version(s) suck donkey ballz though.

    @krakauernotwriting, It was a honor to work with you! (In spirit, if not directly!) (this is Josh Evans btw). Your words and ideas were our constant inspiration and guidance as we tried to add color and tone to @dlanceblack ‘s amazing story and production. Thank you!

    Never saw the movie but agree that ITA is an amazing book.  Liked it far more than either of the others mentioned.
    Edit - I did enjoy all three!
