Dimension Films is finally getting ready to release John Hillcoat's The Road, their cannibal movie starring Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Robert Duvall hitting theaters October 16. Today the studio released the trailer that really reminds me of one of the arcs in the comic series "The Walking Dead" (why can;t they make THAT?). Based on Cormac McCarthy's best-selling and Pulitzer Prize winning novel, "The Road" is the epic post-apocalyptic tale of a journey taken by a father and his young son across a barren landscape that was blasted by an unnamed cataclysm that destroyed civilization and most life on earth.

Looks good. I wasn't impressed by the book, but this certainly looks a bit faster paced.

Look forward to anything Guy Pearce is in...but I didn't see him in the trailer :/. The generic over-used scream near the end of the trailer made me laugh tho.

The book was great and I have no doubt the movie will be too, but the trailer gives me the sense that Dimension doesn't know what to do with it. The trailer feels a bit too much like the trailer for I Am Legend unfortunately.

Looks pretty good! I have alot of faith in this since Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron are starring. The trailer looks way too much like "I Am Legend" though.

Such an amazing novel. And yeah, crow, it was a bit plodding but that's how it was meant. Like others have said...seems a little more action packed then the book, but I can only guess that's Dimension's marketing slant at this time to build buzz. I only hope as the movie draws closer they relax it a bit. Odd to see that much of Theron in the trailer but I heard they expanded her role for the movie so there you go.This is probably my most eagerly awaited film of the year - unless they can get Paul Blart 2 in before Jan 1st!

This looks great. I think that Viggo has an Oscar nomination locked up for this.

fringe guy, i was thinking the same thing regarding Charlize. i never read the book but i've heard how big the mom's role in it is (or isn't).

To say this is my most anticipated film of the year is an understatement. This is my favorite book I've ever read. That is all I can say, I have no doubt this movie will be fucking amazing.

I read an article the other day that suggested Hillcoat's unhappiness at how ridiculous a misrepresentation the Weinstein's chosen marketing strategy was. The film is supposedly every bit as slow and sombre as the book, which to my mind is no bad thing at all. Let's just say that people who weren't impressed with the way that The Burrowers took its time are going to hate this, so to sell it as a Day after tomorrow esq blockbuster isn't the best idea. Theron apparantly has barely more than a cameo, they just seem to have shown most of it in the trailer. This should be an amazing film, Mortensen is always great and Hillcoat is a superb director, though a defiantly arthouse one. As long as the Weinstein's haven't messed with it we could be in for a classic.

This was a very boring book.

Montgomery, i didn't know Hillcoat was upset by this. i can see why (i never read the book). this movie is going to be awesome but if ANYONE can screw up the marketing and ultimately the movie's success, it's the WEINSTEINS. hopefully they won't.

I hear a lot of talk about how fantastic the book was - but that this film looks concentrated/different. Hopefully they didnt mince a historic novel. Looks exceptional though I have to say. I think Im gonna check out the book.

the book was garbage. and the movie looks as if he took the basic idea and changed it. if if follows the book exact then the movie will suck too.

IT FOLLOWS THE BOOK.THE TRAILER IS A 180 FROM WHAT THE FILM ACTUALLY IS. I REPEAT THIS TRAILER DOES NOT REPRESENT THE ACTUAL FILM.
