More Depressing The Road Movie Images
Movie Images, The Road (2009) Movie — By Nix on August 27, 2008
Can’t get enough depressing images from a post-apocalyptic America via John Hillcoat’s upcoming “The Road”? You’re in luck, buckaroos, because we have more images from the movie, including better versions of what you’ve already seen. In the film, Viggo Mortensen plays a nameless father who, along with his nameless son, must traverse a post-apocalyptic America, fighting cannibals, militias, and apparently bad fashion sense along the way. Hey, whatever it takes to survive, right?
Co-starring Kodi Smit-McPhee, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearc, Robert Duvall, and Garret Dillahunt. John Hillcoat (”The Proposition”) directs.
Hit the road November 26.

The kid is 10 at the beginning of the book. There’s a flashback in the book to the day when the kid was born and things were getting blown up outside the windows. Elsewhere in the book, the father says things have been the way they are for 10 years. I figure the boy’s about 11 by the time the book ends.
Just finished the book. I dont think the movie will even be able to make you fell the way the book did. Also thinking outside the box… without plants theres no oxygen… people would sufficate … it has been 10 years there should deffinetly be no oxygen… Loved the Book
Plankton could create enough oxygen, I think. Good idea about the plants though. Maybe it goes to show that perhaps the whole world is not gone and maybe the father and son just think it is.
90% of the worlds oxygen comes from algae in the ocean.
I hope Viggo does not make the father figure too tough. The father in the book is strong in that he is so gentle and understanding with his son. I also hope they capture the intelligence of the boy. He is definatly mature beyond his years. Great book and I can’t wait for the movie!
Interesting how it appears they are incorporating the mother character in the film as a major part of the story considering she was barely touched on in the book. But I’m not terribly surprised. Also, If I’m not mistaken the little boy was around 6-7 years of age in the story but he looks to be about 10-11 in the film. One reason I was so intrigued by the story is because the child was the same age as my son and it really drew me in.
