First picture from “The Road” with Viggo Mortensen
Despite all the fun movies coming out this summer and fall, I think The Road might be the one I’m looking forward to the most in 2008. It’s being released on November 26th.
I’ve been waiting and waiting for some sort of trailer or image to come from the studio and the first photo is finally here thanks to Row Three.
The picture has Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee, who play the Father and Son in the story, both of which are never given names by author Cormac McCarthy who wrote the book. The cast has grown, and I had no idea Robert Duvall was involved with this now, but I guess it’s just a rumor according to IMDB. He joins Charlize Theron as the Wife and Guy Pearce as The Veteran, along with a bunch of other costars. Duvall would play the Old Man.
John Hillcoat is directing, and with his previous film being the critically acclaimed The Proposition, I have high hopes here.
I’m so excited for this movie. You have no idea how that book impacted me personally. It was so amazingly written, so bleak and dark, it was an inspiration to me as a writer. I wrote a short story and started a long novel because of it.
The photo below is fantastic, almost exactly how I would picture these two characters in this post-apocalyptic world.
With it arriving late in the year, I’m curious to see what kind of Oscar buzz it will receive.
Enjoy!
