The Road is a post-apocalyptic movie starring Viggo Mortensen, to be released sometime in 2009. It’s been in the top of my must-see list for a while, and now that I’ve started reading the source material, a novel of the same name, I’m even more excited. The novel is written by Cormac McCarthy, who also wrote No Country for Old Men, and he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his work. The movie (and book) follows a father and son, walking along a road, through a desolate post-apocalyptic world. The movie is directed by John Hillcoat, who also directed The Proposition, a western that I really enjoyed. To be honest, I could not think of a director I would rather see make this movie.
