You can't take a tour down the memory lane of Canadian films without stumbling upon Donald Shebib's 1970 crucial film Goin' Down the Road. You remember the one...two guys from Cape Breton drive to Toronto in a Chevy Impala in search of better things...

Well you won't believe this - the man is back at it with a sequel. It's called Down the Road Again, and Shebib is bringing back the entire original cast. To those of you who aren't aware of what this means to Canadian cinema, it would be like if Orson Welles brought back the Citizen Kane gang for Citizen Kane 2. I can't wait to see what he does with it.

The Torontoist did a really interesting interview with Shebib. Catch it here. It's full of great quotes like this one...
