Cinema is Dope » People: Charlize Theron

I saw The Road twice at the 42 Sitges Film Festival and liked it better with each viewing. I still don’t know how close the current cut most matches the directors preferred cut of John Hillcoat (The Proposition) but suffice it to say that this theatrical cut isn’t it, yet still delivers. It will be interesting to see how Cormac McCarthy fans (No Country for Old Men) respond to this film version of their novel. I should note some of the images contained show scenes not in the theatrical cut of the film and Charlize Theron is barely in it.

New Cinema Wallpaper of the Day
Saturday, August 9, 2008

Note the US release date of this film has been moved up to the earlier date of November 14, 2008.

John Hillcoat who wowed international audiences with his Australian Spaghetti Western, The Proposition, returns with his film adaption of Cormac McCarthy’s stellar Post-Apocalyptic tale, The Road. Being a fan of Post-Apocalyptic cinema, I can’t wait to see this one, especially considering how great The Proposition was!

SYNOPSIS

Based on Cormac McCarthy’s beloved, best-selling and Pulitzer Prize winning novel, Academy Award nominee Viggo Mortensen leads an all-star cast in the big screen adaptation of The Road, the epic post-apocalyptic tale of a journey taken by a father (Viggo Mortensen) and his young son (newcomer Kodi Smit-McPhee) across a barren landscape that was blasted by an unnamed cataclysm that destroyed civilization and most life on earth.
