The Weinstein Company announced today that John Hillcoat adaptation of The Road will be opening in Los Angeles and New York on November 14, 2008, then it will go limited on November 21 with a full wide release November 26. Academy Award nominee Viggo Mortensen, Academy Award winners Robert Duvall and Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce and 12-year-old Kodi Smit McPhee star in the big-screen adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Road – the story of a man (Mortensen) and his young son (Smit-McPhee) traveling through a desperate, post-apocalyptic world. A few pics went online this past week and can be found by clicking the title above.

The CRAZY part is that by the time it opens nation-wide most of it's fan base will have already watched if online so why bother paying to see it on the big screen. Result, poor box-office.

i'm really looking forward to seeing this. i hear the book is incredible. so i'm hoping the movie will be too! i assume the Weinstein's will fuck up promoting/releasing it, though. like they do with basically all their films.

Well, it's not like it any chance at being a blockbuster anyway. It's slow-moving, with very little action and very litte dialogue. I'm sure it will be a really good movie (McCarthy book, Hillcoat directing, cast), but it's never going to be mainstream. The only possibility is if the "Oprah Book Club" fanbase goes out to see it. And if they're interested, I doubt many of them are going to download shitty cams of it rather than seeing it in the theatre.
