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. Click HERE or on Mortensen's rockin' beard to see it all large and stuff. The film's scheduled for release November 26th.

Extra Tidbit: Hillcoat is the director of THE PROPOSITION.

I'm convinced. And here's why:

-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).

DB Cooper, just checked IMDB, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis (of the Dirty Three) are scoring the film. They did an amazing job on Assassination of Jesse James AND The Proposition, so am officially pumped for this one.

The Proposition was great, and IMHO one of the most underrated movies of the last few years. I have high hopes for this one.

I saw Viggo at a reading/performance in Portland, OR on Friday night. He looked very famished and grizzly. Good book, good actor, good director, should be good a good movie.

there wasn't much dialouge in the book. I wonder how will that translate onto film. perhaps, a more minimal approach to filmmaking?

Really looking forward to this. The Road was one of my favourite books of recent times. Heres hoping Nick Cave gets on board again with John Hillcoat and scores the movie.

I can't wait for this. Viggo just looks the part! Another classic McCarthy adaptation on the way then?
