		However, since Peter Weir’s film (1975) of Joan Lindsay’s novel (1967) Picnic at Hanging Rock, the mystery and intrigue surrounding the rock have been a drawcard.
		The rock itself rises 105 metres from the plain and is a small steep-sided volcano known as a mamelon that was formed six million years ago over a vent in the earth.
		Hanging Rock has been a favourite backdrop for social gatherings since the early days of European settlement, and was reputedly a hideout for bushrangers like ‘Mad Dog’ Morgan during the heady gold rush days.

		The film itself was taken from a novel written in 1967 by author Joan Lindsay and she in turn had based the novel on a true story which had occurred in Victoria in 1900.
		Attention was called to the fact that Joan Lindsays book would make a potentially good film by a scriptwriter named David Williamson.
		Director Peter Weir became interested in the idea but then David was unable to continue with the project and suggested Cliff Green should have a go at the script, and he did.

	Playback St. Louis Reviews -Freaks and Geeks
		Freaks and Geeks is set in 1980s Michigan, and centers on Sam and Lindsay Weir; Sam is a freshman in high school, and Lindsay is a sophomore.
		Sam hangs out with the “geek” crowd (which is pretty self-explanatory), while Lindsay is trying to transition from the geeks to the “freaks,” or burnouts, as they are otherwise known.
		geeks really look like geeks, the burnouts’ eyes are red and hair unkempt, and minor players are often unfortunately fat, have bad, prepubescent mustaches, or are so stupid looking you wish you could punch them (despite what it sounds like, this is a good thing).

	DVD Times - Picnic at Hanging Rock
		Unfortunately the film was never completed, as Lindsay’s selling of the rights to Patricia Lovell precluded any other version of her novel, even an amateur one.
		The film isn’t in wonderful condition, with scratches and splices galore, but as it uses the same locations as Weir’s film it’s striking how similar it looks: no doubt due to the quality of light at Hanging Rock.
		He had permission from Joan Lindsay to film her novel and he shot in black and white 16mm at weekend.

	Amazon.com: Freaks and Geeks - The Complete Series: DVD: Linda Cardellini,John Francis Daley,James Franco,Samm Levine,Seth Rogen,Jason Segel,Martin Starr,Becky Ann Baker,Joe Flaherty,Busy Philipps
		Created by writer-comedian Paul Feig and executive produced by Judd Apatow (The Larry Sanders Show), Freaks and Geeks followed the Weir siblings--former math whiz Lindsay (Linda Cardellini of the Scooby-Doo feature films and ER) and her younger brother Sam (John Francis Daley)--as they navigated the perils and pleasures of a Michigan high school circa 1980.
		What separated Freaks and Geeks from most other scholastic series was its brutal honesty--Lindsay and Sam, as well as their friends and parents, were given very human personas that showed failure, malice, indecision, and moments of great clarity.
		Sam (John Daley, playing Lindsey's brother), is a scrawny freshie who has the damndest getting comfortable with anything.

	Interview With Peter Weir:Picnic At Hanging Rock
		Picnic At Hanging Rock is adapted from a 1967 novel by Joan Lindsay.
		Although Joan Lindsay's novel contains hints of the Rock as another time zone, its style combines the omniscient condescension of an Agatha Christie (characters neatly slotted into defined social stations and good-humoured servants kept above suspicion) with a streak of purple pantheism.
		It is Peter Weir's second feature, Picnic At Hanging Rock, that is causing the excitement.
