The Trailer for 'The Road' Is Up

By Lev Grossman on May 15, 2009

It's here.

The wife ain't around nearly that much in the book, on account of her being dead. And there are a few more Tusken Raiders than I remember. Otherwise it looks like a very faithful adaptation. In other words it's kill-yourself depressing. Save the last bullet for me, Viggo.

  1. Awesome! A friend of mine did effects work on this one. I want to see it just based on his descriptions of the set dressing.

    Sadly, he did not get the opportunity to work on BSG.

  2. Why does Hollywood think that women won't see a movie without a female lead? Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm sure they're just like anyone else and want to watch a good movie regardless of what sex the characters are.

  3. Geez, I loved the book, but remember that time when Adama got drunk and wept and wailed and drooled all over himself? That's exactly how I acted after I finished reading The Road. May be a great movie, but I'm not sure I have the willpower to see it and subject myself to that soul-crushing depression.
