Dimension Films and 2929 Productions have announced that they will finally be releasing John Hillcoat’s (The Proposition) adaptation of Cormac McCarthy novel The Road, on October 16th 2009. The Road was originally scheduled to be released in time for 2008 award-season, but was pushed back due to post-production issues.
Its good to hear that it will be released during the awards season, which shows a sign of confidence from the Weinstein Company. The Road is a fantastic book, one of McCarthy’s best. Hopefully the film lives up to the novel, which is no easy feat.
Are you excited for The Road?
