The trailer for John Hillcoat‘s The Road is finally here. The film which was delayed from last year’s Oscar season stars Viggo Mortensen in a post-apocalyptic tale of a man and his son trying to survive by any means possible. The adaptation is based on a novel by Cormac McCarthy, who wrote 2007’s best picture No Country For Old Men. Check out the trailer in HD after the jump.
The trailer sure sells much more of an action film, than the deep meditative drama early reviews suggest. I still can’t wait. The trailer is filled with beautiful imagery and a wonderful take on an post-apocalyptic world.
The film which also stars Robert Duvall, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce and Kodi Smit McPhee is set for an October 16th release date.
