"The Road"
"The Road Trailer" - First Look "The Road" - In Movie Theaters November 25, 2009 "The Road" - BEHIND THE SCENES ![]() "The Road" - The movie "The Road" is directly from the writer who brought you the "2008 Best Picture Oscar Winner," the movie "No Country For Old Men." You already know that "No Country For Old Men" won a plethora of "2008 Oscars." Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor to name a few. Well, "No Country For Old Men," before it was a movie, was a NY Times Best Selling novel by Pulitzer Prize winning author Cormac McCarthy. Cormac McCarthy won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for his gripping, stunning and shocking post-apocalyptic novel, "The Road." "The Road" was also picked as an "Oprah Book Of The Month." In addition, Cormac McCarthy granted only his third ever interview to Oprah in 2006 for his novel, "The Road." Briefly, in case you have not 'yet' read "The Road," the story is summed up this way: "The Road" - Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winner bestseller from acclaimed novelist Cormac McCarthy ("No Country For Old Men"), "The Road" is a post-apocalyptic dramatic thriller about a father and his son walking alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food--and each other. In the movie "The Road" father is played by Oscar nominee Viggo Mortensen, ("Eastern Promises"), and son by newcomer Kodi Smit-McPhee. Oscar winners Robert Duvall and Charlize Theron make brief but resonating appearances. "The Road" is directed by John Hillcoat who received international acclaim for his 2005 film "The Proposition," which starred Guy Pearce, Ian McShane and Danny Huston.
