Here it is everybody! The first trailer for John Hillcoat’s film ‘The Road’ based on the epic novel by Cormac McCarthy the story takes place in a post-apocalyptic world as we follow a father and his young son as the journey across a barren landscape that was blasted by an unnamed cataclysm that destroyed civilization and most life on earth.
The trailer makes the movie look absolutely incredible! The film has recently been called the most important film of the year. The film stars Viggo Mortensen, Kodi Smit McPhee, Robert Duvall, Chalize Theron, and Guy Pearce. You have got to watch this trailer below.
Watch the trailer in HD over at Yahoo.
Honestly! This movie looks to be an Oscar contender. Looks amazing!
This movie doesn't even have to be good in order for it to be a shoo in for the Oscar race. McCarthey, Mortensen, Theron, Duvall, Pearce. All those names will make every critic swoon.
Wow. Way to capture the lonely, quiet, desperate-but-surviving-on-hope tone of the book. Movie looks great, but the trailer is epic fail.
im glad it got amazing reviews because i agree with Snivellus, the trailer didn't really get me that pumped.
book is amazing, but the trailer is god-awful.
book is by no means "epic" in the explosive filled way that this trailer sets it out to be.
hope the movie does this book justice.
yay a movie fallout 3….now when are we going to see a movie version of the road? the book was about the quiet and lonely final throes of humanity, not about the epic post-apocalyptic journey. it's about hope in the face of inescapable failure.
also…remind me, because i could be wrong, but where did the wife come into it? if i remember correctly she has seriously only a couple pages in the book, and any reference to her is only in passing. Why do they change things that work so well?
Agree with Nathan…feels more fallout 3, than the road. I love Viggo and his performance seems moving, but while I respect Charlize' acting talent it feels that trying to expanding the female character/role further than originally planned just builds a hollow, passive 'what are we going to do' weak female character (that needs protecting…rather than holding onto last threads of humanity)? Phew…breathe. And, yes the editing style and marketing treatment of trailer did not help anyone here.
wow, this looks fucking amazing. the poor kid for having to grow up in that world though (if he makes it)
The book made me suicidal. And it wasn't even well written
I don't think many will agree with that statement, mr. crf123, but we are all entitled to our opinions.
there wasnt any clear reason for the ravaged wasteland – of course hollywood will fill your head that its because you are having too many bbqs. but the road was one of those books that kept me riveted with every page i turned. you could feel the compelling outcome but you couldnt put the book down. when i finished it i had the same gut feeling as i did when i saw saving private ryan – it affected me for weeks. not too many books today can do that. i wish the trailer and of course the movie didnt give any reason for the collapse of humanity. i am sure it would have left more of powerful impact as the book did with its ambiguity. i just hope they keep the fire burning theme alive in it. any way – cant wait.
