Red Fern Happening...Maybe

By Waldo Jaquith
It's been many moons since there was any news about Dave Matthews' role in the small-budget remake of the classic children's novel, "Where The Red Fern Grows," but now it seems that something is afoot. nancies.org has gotten a couple of updates from the production company in the previous months, who has kept us posted on their work. In their current issue, Charlottesville weekly newspaper "The Hook" has chased down the full story behind the rise and fall of Red Fern, and the news on the latest efforts to complete this movie at last. You get the scoop on-line in Hawes Spencer's story, "Dave's debut: Disasters stymie Matthews' move into movies."
