Viggo walks The Road | Movie News
While doing press for EASTERN PROMISES, the David Cronenberg directed drama in which he plays a notoriously ruthless gangster tied to a young girl's death investigated by an all too curious Naomi Watts, Viggo Mortensen gave some info on an upcoming film to which he's attached. Says the former warrior of Middle Earth:
There’s a book called ‘The Road’ by Cormac McCarthy. They’re going to make a movie of that and the people making [it] have expressed interest [in me]. Visually, it’s going to be a very beautiful movie. It’s a very good story.
It's a Pulitzer Prize winning story, in fact, set in a post-apocalyptic future and centering on a road trip between a father and his young son. Mortensen is presumably up for the role of "father". Read the rest of what he had to say over HERE. He can next be seen in the aforementioned EASTERN PROMISES and the drama GOOD.

I love this guy as an actor and he seems like a really likable person from his interviews and behind the scenes snippets.

One gripe, the book won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for literature, yet the 2007 paperback edition of the novel prominently displays the fucking Oprah's Book Club logo, but no mention of the Pulitzer...gotta love such a culture right?
