How many guesses will it take you?

The answer is... Into the Wild

This week's Behind the Screen image is from the 2007's Into the Wild.

Into the Wild is based on Jon Krakauer's book detailing the journey of Christopher McCandless, who coming from a wealthy family and graduating from college decided to hitchhike to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Sean Penn wrote and directed the movie that stars Emile Hirsch and Christopher, as well as Vince Vaughn, Catherine Keener, Marcia Gay Harden, William Hurt, Jena Malone, Kristen Stewart and Hal Holbrook, the latter of which received an Oscar nomination for his performance.
