Production
Richard Flanagan originally wrote the story as a screenplay but was unable to get it financed. He then adapted it into a novel. This attracted interest from financiers and Flanagan asked Rolf de Heer to direct; de Heer did not feel he was appropriate but said he would produce if Flanagan would do it.[4]
gollark: Well, sure. But I don't think it's a good general solution.
gollark: Nuclear is much better, but people go "OH NO NUCLEAR SCARY" and yet seemingly do not care about the alternative effectively being fossil fuels?
gollark: Or batteries, which have their own problems.
gollark: The panels are really energy-intensive to produce anyway, degrade after 20 years, and you need uncool fossil-fuel plants to cover for the solar panels when they don't produce, which is often.
gollark: Except for remote places which can't get grid connectivity.
