The folks at "Row Three" have nabbed themselves a first look at Viggo Mortensen in director John Hillcoat's upcoming THE ROAD, an adaptation of the bestselling Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name. In it, Mortensen and his son make their way through a post-apocalyptic USA while trying to avoid cannibals and survive the bitter cold wasteland. Not the most complex plot but the novel packs a considerable dramatic punch. Plus, that is one mighty fine beard. Guy Pearce and Charlize Theron co-star.

Extra Tidbit:
Hillcoat is the director of THE PROPOSITION.

-Almost everyone attached to The Road was attached to the best Western since Unforgiven (hint: it wasn't 3:10 To Yuma)
-And of course...Viggo.

I swear to all of you I haven't felt this jacked about a drama (and convinced it was gonna be a success) since The Departed (2006, 9/10).
