The Trailer for "THE ROAD" !

Movies has revealed the new trailer for director John Hillcoat's "THE ROAD", opening in theaters on October 16.

Viggo Mortensen, Robert Duvall, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce and Kodi Smit McPhee star in the big-screen adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel - the story of a man (Mortensen) and his young son (Smit-McPhee) traveling through a desperate, post-apocalyptic world.

Synopsis : A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind and water. It is cold enough to crack stones, and, when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the warmer south, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing: just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless cannibalistic bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a rusting shopping cart of scavenged food--and each other.

One of the best books I have read in 20 years may have been turned into another action film. I agree with Simon, this was going to be a difficult adaptation. American audiences have never embraced the slow pace necessary to a film like this. (and yes...I am American) I hope Hillcoat didn't get advice from people who thought this movie was competing with T4.
Of course, they almost always show the action sequences in trailers. It brings in the mouth-breathers.
At any rate...buy the book. You'll read it over and over again.

This was always going to be a difficult book to film adaptation. Worryingly it looks as though scenes have been added that increases the action content. Surely this will only detract from the heart of the story - the relationship between the father and boy. Perhaps a leaf should have been taken from the Coens whose 'No Country for Old Men' stuck to the writers story almost to the page. If it ain't broke - don't fix it. For anyone one who isn't aware of the book... buy it and read it, you will not be disappointed.
