Flicka
Flicka is a 2006 film based loosely on the 1941 novel and a remake of the original 1943 film My Friend Flicka. The plot focuses on a female protagonist, a 16 year old Wyoming girl named Katy Mclaughlin played by Alison Lohman who befriends a black mustang mare she founds in the forest of her father's American Quarter Horse ranch. In previous versions, the main character was a male. The movie also features Maria Bello and Tim McGraw, who also serves as executive producer of the soundtrack album.
- Directed by Michael Mayer. Written by Mark Rosenthal and Lawrence Konner.
