In an article about upcoming historical epics, USA Today spoke with producer Sarah Green about writer-director Terrence Malick's The New World, which opens November 9th.
The New Line period piece recounts the first encounter between white settlers and Native Americans in Virginia, especially focusing on the legendary relationship between explorer John Smith (Colin Farrell) and Pocahontas (Q'Orianka Kilcher).
"It's first and foremost a love story," Green advised the paper. "Any understanding there was between these two cultures stemmed from this relationship. ... This relationship, the way we use it, has a complete and utter impact on everyone around them. The personal can be inherently political and have widespread consequences."
