I think this will be a great film. I read they are holding it til later this year so as it will be a contender for the Oscars, and so it wont be looked over during the summer blockbusters. I also read once that McCarthy said during an interview in Rolling Stone that it was set after a meteor impact. I started reading this book on Christmas Eve morning and did not put it down til dinner. One of the most amazing books I have ever read.

I’ll be unhappy if the movie turns ou to be crap – and yes, I do wonder how an American book with a largely Aussie cast and crew will translate.
For the most part, I am looking forward to it though.

A little too late for the Oscars, Levi and this film will have run its cinema course and be on DVD weekly hire by the time next year’s comes around.
Sadly I think this film should have been released already and may very well sink, having missed the holiday season.
Still, forgotten films tend to become classic/cult over time and this deserves to be.

this is one of the saddest books i’ve ever read i also read it until my eyes went blurry, i actually cried when the man dies.
but i agree it has cult potential
i also think has the possibillity to be oscar potential

i also agree the boy is to old, in the book he plays with toys and asks questions that only a child would ask

Steve Innes is not confirmed to play King Richard or any other role in Nottingham.
Neither is Christian Bale and the pair of them may well, bail, along with half the cast and crew already if the show is delayed further.
Too many rumours and we have gone totally off topic, haven’t we?

I know who Steve Innes is now. He is going to be King Richard in Ridley Scott’s Nottingham – not Christian Bale – and not Robin Hood opposite Russell Crowe as is constantly being claimed.

I think it was Steve Innes who was first approached to play the Rancher in No Country For Old Men, before Josh Brolin got it.

More post-apocalyptic fiction? Well, they are about to start work on Mad Max IV in Australia.
It’s back on the cards with George Miller directing once again.
Have not seen much about it other than it will be made in Australia and Australian actors like Steve Innes, Sam Worthington and Hugo Weaving are being considered but no one has been formally cast yet.
Budget looks to be less than $50 million, which goes a long way in Australia but nowhere else really.
They seem to get a lot for a little over there.

This is exactly like First And Final War. In the mid eighties in Sacramento, we were studying modern literature from similar western cultures and this is what we got. Seemed strange at the time but what a blast from the past to have this new, oh, so similar story pop up.
I wonder what kind of film the Australian original would have looked like if done over there or has it already been done?
Is The Road a remake of an Australian original?
Of course, the U.S. version is pretty much Australian made isn’t it?
