I get it. I prefer his sporting and wildlife stuff, and of course his forays into Mormon related stuff. I first followed him when he wrote essays for I think it was Wilderness Magazine, or maybe Outside ? I didn't read the book below because I read most of the essays when they first came out, but if this is a collection of those magazine articles, I can highly recommend it:

Classic Krakauer: Essays on Wilderness and Risk

Thanks! I'm thinking Outside, but I wouldn't swear to it. I'll add the essays to my to read list.

Interesting that Jason Bateman is an executive producer. I like his work.

I thought he was good in Arrested Development.

The screenplay for this upcoming miniseries version of Under the Banner of Heaven was written by the ex-Latter-day Saint LGBT activist Dustin Lance Black, who won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for the 2008 movie Milk, about the gay rights activist and San Francisco politician Harvey Milk, and who worked as a writer, then as an executive story editor, and finally as a co-producer on Big Love. Black also narrated the documentary film 8: The Mormon Proposition, which was co-directed by the former-Latter-day Saint gay activist Reed Cowan. Under the Banner of Heaven will star the Anglo-American actor Andrew Garfield, who also figures as its producer. Previously, he’s played Spiderman/Peter Parker and — I really, really liked him in these roles — Desmond Doss in Hacksaw Ridge and Rodrigues in Silence. Given his self-description as an agnostic pantheist and the fact that he’s starred in productions of Angels in America both in London and on Broadway — for which he won multiple awards, including a Tony, and an Olivier nomination — I’m not counting on Mr. Garfield, as its producer, to be a voice of respect and restraint with regard to the portrayal of Latter-day Saints and Latter-day Saint history in Under the Banner of Heaven.
