johnpweber 0 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I finished reading the book last month, and if the film delivers (and the trailers are looking promising) it's going to be one hell of a bleak film. Loved the book, depressing as hell, but man, it just pulls at your heart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SonOfTheDark 0 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Two new posters: http://www.latinoreview.com/news/new-poste...r-the-road-7914 Bleak indeed. Nice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnpweber 0 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I love the second poster. That part of the book (the shot of the two) is still fresh in mind. Haunting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

xNLx 0 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I am very, very much anticipating The Road. I love the book, and the movie looks to be shaping up well. The posters are pretty cool. Just missing the shopping cart. After every page in the book, I kept expecting them to lose that damn cart at some point... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnpweber 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I hope we start seeing more posters like this were the writer gets large credit blocks at the bottom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rosella 0 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 The Road has finally arrived! I'll be going to see it soon. I worked with one of the actresses in it, and I told her I would. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianmcquery 0 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Anyone see this yet? I was terribly disappointed. In anticipation of the release, I just showed THE PROPOSITION to the DP I was working with in San Francisco last month. He was blown away. It was only my second viewing having initially seen in theatrically and it's just as good as the first viewing. I was really disappointed that while I was gone, I missed 2 preview screenings of THE ROAD, including a Q & A screening. But I saw it today and I was bored, disengaged, and disappointed. There are some good sequences and the acting is solid. Loved Duvall, but then I always love Duvall. The film sort of heads in a direction, but it's very aimless and made me wonder why Viggo didn't just put a bullet in his son's head and then his own. I really had high expectations. Sad that I was more entertained and more satisfied by new trailers for BOOK OF ELI and THE CRAZIES than this flick. I've seen 9 films since returning from San Fran on the 19th and I've been disappointed by most of them. Really enjoyed THE BLIND SIDE and THE MESSENGER. Pretty entertained by BAD LIEUTENANT PORT OF CALL: NEW ORLEANS. I don't think it's me, I think it's been a really mediocre year. So far there are only 5 films that deserve to be on my top 10 list. If you've seen THE ROAD, please weigh in and tell me if you think I'm crazy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AdminGuyX Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 You know, it only showed on 111 theaters according to Box Office mojo. I don't think it's getting a wider release. I wanted to see it, but it just flat out wasn't playing here. Anywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike V 0 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 It's going to be playing by me on the 18th, so hopefully I'll be able to check it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Padre 0 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Finally saw it last night. It’s extremely depressing but weirdly uplifting as well. Viggo was great as usual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
