		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week Tom Chiarella at Esquire Magazine, presumably the only guy on the planet to have seen the first adapted Cormac McCarthy novel since No Country For Old Men classified the 16.10.09 released post-apocalyptic thriller The Road as being "the most important movie of the year". 



That kind of studio exec's marketing dream is too good for The Weinsteins NOT to capitalise on and unsurprisingly, just a few days later we have a full length trailer online for our viewing pleasure.

Now, before you go any further, any trailer with the unfortunate tag of "most important movie of the year" is going to fail at the first huddle, it will never live up. No trailer is ever as good as the one for The Phantom Menace (similarly, a trailer whose final movie would never live up to those few minutes of footage). 

Just bare that in mind.


I'm positive this movie will be better than it looks come October, I'm certain it's going to be killer. Not a run of the mill action thriller as advertised. The lack of heart, the lack of rhythm, the lack of a reason to care is partly because of a misconceived notion that putting in as many glorious apocalyptic shots of a ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A provocative headline from Esquire, especially considering John Hillcoat's adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road when finally released in October will have been delayed for 11 months. Usually that's a sign of a movie in trouble, but I suppose recently history suggests that might not be the case and The Weinsteins have only ever claimed that The Road's delay is because the special effects weren't quite up to the standard they were aiming for. 



Andrew Dominik's true American classic The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford was delayed for equal length, and even worse, tampered with in the editing room but what eventually came out was one of the true 21st century greats. Though, it didn't make a dime of course. 

Writes Tom Chiarella, one of the few lucky guys that has actually seen the first McCarthy adapted novel for screen since the 2007 Best Picture Academy Award winning No Country For Old Men...
Everything about the film seems disconnected in this way — shocky and post-traumatic. This is what happens: A father and a son walk from point A to point B through a desolate landscape. Cities are deserted. People-zombies, some of them hungry for human flesh, stare out ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Those annoyed by Francis Lawrences' adaptation of I Am Legend and it's heavy use of CGI for a tale that could have been told in a claustrophobically small manner, will be happy to hear that director John Hillcoat has made it a point to have no CGI in his end of the world tale adapted from Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer prize winning novel The Road.


Speaking to the USA Today, Hillcoat says only the fictional story of a father and son who travel across a barren and apocalyptic countryside after a mystery catastrophe is made up, the scenery and settings are very real. They shot the film in Pittsburgh...
"It's a beautiful place in fall with the colors changing," Hillcoat says. "But in winter, it can be very bleak. There are city blocks that are abandoned. The woods can be brutal. We didn't want to go the CGI world."

"We wanted the heightened reality in the book."
Opening in the U.S. on November 14th (January in the U.K), Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee play the father and son, in a small role Charlize Theron plays Mortensen's wife and finally Robert Duvall makes up the core cast.

I really did enjoy last year's I Am Legend but ...]]></description>
