Trailer for The Road. Given its literary pedigree and quality actors (Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, Robert Duvall), this is one of my most anticipated films of the year. Hopefully, relatively unknown director John Hillcoat (The Proposition) won't fumble the ball - I enjoyed the book as a study of man as he is without the trappings of society and morality, and how the struggle for survival compromises all of those things and reinforces our 'worser angels'. Priest's review of the book is here.
