The Road – First Look

ONTD posted pics (from Entertainment Weekly’s First Look and another magazine) of The Road (the bleak, unforgettable Cormac McCarthy novel) starring Viggo Mortensen. Viggo looks a lot more soulful than I imagined the character looking. And I have mixed feelings about seeing this book put to film in the first place since much of the power of it is in the simple way McCarthy describes most things and the complex way the reader imagines it.¬† On the other hand, it’s Viggo. To quote Bob Dylan, “I’ll see him in anything so I’ll stand in line.”
