I cannot express enough how much I want to see this movie! It keeps getting pushed back. Some were saying because of money issues and then supposedly it was because John Hillcoat hadn’t finished it yet. I’m not a huge reader, but I literally could not put the book down. I love post apocalyptic stories and Cormac McCarthy has written an absolutely amazing story about an American wasteland after a nuclear winter has set in.  A father and son make their way to the coast. Not sure what they will find, but are certain that better times await there.

Esquire Magazine’s Tom Chiarella was lucky enough to sit down with Bob Weinstein and see an early version! Apparently it is true that the movie just wasn’t ready to be released last year, and has been set to be released this November instead. The studio is worried about how to market this film, since it is just such a dark and depressing story. Tom has written up a great article which is up at ESQUIRE.COM now. Highly Recommended!

“They want them to say, perhaps for reasons they cannot consciously fathom, to everyone they know: You have to see it. Really.

You do. Not because it’s grim, not because it’s depressing, or even scary. The Road is all of those things, both acutely and chronically. But there was not a single stupid choice made in turning this book into this movie. No wrongheaded lyric tribute to the novel. No moment engineered simply to make you jump.

The terror of it is in a normal world made vacant.”
