“We knew that the journey of making a movie out of McCarthy’s book The Road would be both physically and emotionality challenging. There is a certain degree of sadness, fear and regret that ‘The Man’ carries insdie as he strives to protect huis son and ensure their survival in an impossible world.” — Viggo Mortensen (Interview)

Maybe we can volunteer to help edit, tmoves. Or whatever other post-production goferring Hillcoat needs. (Such as running interference and creating mapcap diversions to distract the Weinsteins while Hillcoat does what he thinks is best.)
Hum… Viggo seems awesome…

SIT! I’M VERY SAD & DISAPPOINTED. I REALLY WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE AND VIGGO WILL BE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS UNFAIR FOR HIM NOT TO BE NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR! WHO WILL BE ANYWAY? NOONE WILL BE SO AWESOME AS VIGGO!
WHERE
IS
THE
TRAILER?!
Viggo looks ok, but the kid should have be A LOT skinner.. looks glowing like that;
Hope they don’t ruin this movie with a lot of talking and an awful score, otherwise, it could prove to be a great film in the hands of the right people. Love the book. Hope they don’t make a kid-friendly movie

Hey, today is Viggo’s birthday!
YES IT’ S VIGGO’S BIRTHDAY AND I WANT TO WISH MY BEST FOR HIM BECAUSE HE’ S A GREAT MAN AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I ADMIRE HIM SINCE I WAS 12 (NOW I AM 18)! I WAS TAUGHT MANY THINGS THANKS TO HIM AND FOR THAT I WANT TO SAY A BIIIIIIIIIIIG THANK YOU TO HIM! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIGGO!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ‘RE AN AWESOME GUY!
Ryan — Right? I’d so help him out. I’m torn. I mean, of course I want Hillcoat to take his time and get it right and not be pressured and all ‘Daldried’ by The Harv, but I was really anticipating this adaptation especially with Viggo as ‘The Man’ (when isn’t he ‘the man’ really?). Just a really good book for the times and a winning formula for a Best Actor nod (even win) and even Supporting Actor a la THE PIANO. If they don’t push it now they won’t next year. With BLINDNESS all but forgotten, I was really looking forward to this adaptation to save me. Did you read the script? Did you see the movie tie-in cover?
[Yes, Happy 50th, Viggo!]
Wow, that look on his face is absolutely haunting. This is sure to be an incredible film, and this photograph makes it all the more sad we’re going to have to wait until next year. *Sigh*
