VN,Heads up to fans of The Way. A nice interview about its re-release on Morning Joe:
How 'The Way' continues to inspire over a decade after its release
Actor and filmmaker Emilio Estevez joins Morning Joe to discuss the theatrical re-release of the 2010 film 'The Way,' which finds Estevez co-starring along with his father Martin Sheen. 'The Way' is about a father's pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago following his son's death.www.msnbc.com
He mentions many people wanting a covid reset, saying its themes now are even more resonant than 10 years ago. True enough. There may be another big wave of people inspired by the movie.
Good question. Are these connections are widely known?
VN,Good question. Are these connections are widely known?
I find myself wondering if there'll be a new spike of walkers - those who are only now learning about the movie.
I think it is unlikely. There wasn't any significant spike after the initial release. The growth in numbers since 2010 has followed a trend that was already clear long before then. What is true is that numbers of pilgrims from the USA and Canada have increased in that time and many of those have been inspired by the film. But I don't think that it has had much influence outside the English-speaking world and we Anglophones are still a minority on the Caminos. As I understand it the planned showing of the film is a one-off single day event. My impression is that demand for it is mostly coming from those who have seen it in the past and those who have already walked Caminos. Preaching to the choir!I find myself wondering if there'll be a new spike of walkers - those who are only now learning about the movie.
Indeed. Fortunately many quieter caminos still exist.May those good simple ways continue.
Yes, and...coverage on the big US morning TV shows is bound to create new interest (or at least to re-ignite latent interest). That's a big market.My impression is that demand for it is mostly coming from those who have seen it in the past and those who have already walked Caminos. Preaching to the choir!

I have this movie on DVD and I have watch it often. I love it. It inspired us many years to say one day we will walk the Camino. We walked from Leon to Santiago in 2021. Last year we walked from Porto (central) and this year we are planning on walking the Coastal Route from Porto. This movie inspired our son as well who walked part of the Camino in 2012.Heads up to fans of The Way. A nice interview about its re-release on Morning Joe:

For me, double that, every year, since it came out.I don't have enough fingers and toes to count on the times I watch this movie.
This film inspired me to figure a way to walk The Camino.Heads up to fans of The Way. A nice interview about its re-release on Morning Joe:

I’m presently walking Camino del Norte (in Gernika) and word is there haven’t been this many pilgrims even BEFORE Covid. Not a problem so far tho. It’s awesome to see so many pilgrims walking from all over the world! Ultreia!I think it is unlikely. There wasn't any significant spike after the initial release.

How lucky we were,!VN,
How lucky all of us are who were able to walk the CF as it was when we did.
I recall what JabbaPapa so beautifully wrote early in December regarding his fond memories of the good ways "...that which has long been and that we hope to see continue"
Indeed. May those good simple ways continue.
The first time I saw it I thought it was pretty good but nothing spectacular. Then I watched it a second time and was hooked. I've watched it a couple dozen times now, both before and after I walked the Camino and love everything about it. I purchased the movie on Amazon Prime and can watch it anywhere now. I'll listen to the soundtrack around the house when I'm in a mood to chill.I don't have enough fingers and toes to count on the times I watch this movie.
Do you live in Terlingua? The Big Bend area is one of my favorite places.The first time I saw it I thought it was pretty good but nothing spectacular. Then I watched it a second time and was hooked.

Thanks for posting, Bill. Most interesting in the last minute about the proposed sequel. Of course! Tom will read Jack's book, and off we go!Great interview...I also saw this one on you tubehe announces at the end that a sequel is in the works...
I was to start on May 16th which would have been my Mother's 101st birthday, but the airlines had other ideas for me. So the 17th it is. I watched The Way in a movie theater a decade ago. I would say that it sparked the interest I had in walking the Camino. I will be on the Portuguese Coastal route, honoring my Portuguese heritage and my mother.Heads up to fans of The Way.

I'm delighted that this is going to happen. Although he doesn't give too much away in the interview, the locations seem to imply that at least Jimmy Nesbitt - he mentions Ireland - and Yorick will be back. The Brussels connection is a puzzle.Another article in La Voz de Galicia where Estevez talks about the sequel in development. To be set in Nigeria, Brussels, Amsterdam and the Camino del Norte. He also mentions the possibility of further films or even a tv series.

Yup, in the US it's showing in select theaters only on Tues., May 16. And I agree that the primary audience is probably people who've already seen it, or have already been planning/dreaming about their camino(s), or are remembering their own past camino(s).I think it is unlikely. There wasn't any significant spike after the initial release. The growth in numbers since 2010 has followed a trend that was already clear long before then.

Only 605 miles from Port Aransas..easy driveThe first time I saw it I thought it was pretty good but nothing spectacular. Then I watched it a second time and was hooked.

See this post (and the rest of its thread):Where on earth can I watch this movie? It is widely unavailable and even used DVD copies say the format would be incompatible with UNited States DvD players
Not too long after the re-release, it will become available on digital platforms then DVD/BluRay.Where on earth can I watch this movie?
Wait a minute, @MichelleElynHogan! I will send you a private message but my mom’s family, Heenan, is a big name in Borrisokane. I took my parents there on their 50th wedding anniversary, years ago. And this is how I got my Irish passport!For me, double that, every year, since it came out.
It turns out that Martin's Mom was born in the same town as my GG Grandfather, Borrisokane, Tipperary, Ireland. In this part of the World, two family names dominate, Hogan and O"Meara. I am a Hogan, She was an O"Meara. So, it is very likely that Martin and I share distant relations.
