In the burnt, barren landscape, through swirls of soft ash and smoggy air the MAN appears dressed as if homeless, a filthy old parka with the hood up, a knapsack on his back, pushing a rusted shopping cart with a bicycle mirror clamped to the handle and a blue tarp now covering its load. The little BOY, similarly dressed with a knapsack on his back, shuffles through the ash at his side.
John Horn has a rundown on 'The Road', adapted from Cormac McCarthy's novel, directed by John Hillcoat (pictured on the right) with Viggo Mortensen, which is just about to wrap principal photography. Really looking forward to more of McCarthy's perspective on human nature after seeing 'No Country for Old Men'. One day I'll have to read his work -- but the 'one day' list keeps getting longer...
Production still by Macall Polay. Excerpt of screenplay by Joe Penhall.
