The first reviews I remember reading for The Road were not exactly positive. To be honest, they were far from. But it would seem that Peter Travers of Rolling Stone really liked the film, and gave it praise worthy enough of its own poster.
The Road One-Sheet
The Road carries the first of the shared humanity and lets it burn bright and true. Viggo Mortensen is astounding! Robert Duvall is superb and Charlize Theron captures the power of Cormac McCarthy's words. A triumph!
As you can see, the poster's a win-win. Not only does it showcase the praise laid down upon the film, but it also looks fantastic.

New Posters for A SINGLE MAN, THE ROAD and DISTRICT 13: ULTIMATUM
The Weinstein Company has released a new poster for The Road and A Single Man. While I liked the previous poster for The Road, I understand using a huge quote saying how great the movie is as a way to help sell the movie.
However, the new poster for A Single Man is just perfect. Just [...]
For those interested in the upcoming Viggo Mortensen post-apocalyptic film - The Road, you can now check out the "Making of Featurette" over at Apple.com.
"Based on Cormac McCarthy’s best-selling and Pulitzer Prize winning novel, “The Road” is the epic post-apocalyptic tale of a journey taken by a father and his young son across a barren landscape that was blasted by an unnamed cataclysm that destroyed civilization and most life on earth."
Watch This: The Making of The Road New Extended Featurette
Late last week, this 11-minute behind-the-scenes featurette for The Road appeared on Apple. I wanted to feature it because it's a great video, but it's quite excruciatingly long, especially to watch online (and not in the Special Features on the DVD). For those that have been waiting anxiously to see this movie, it finally hits theaters this week. I've got an interview with the director, John Hillcoat, that I'll be running in a few days. There's a lot of footage and, to be honest, a lot of spoilers in this, so tread carefully. And I suggest everyone watch it on Apple, it's much better quality, but enjoy it either way and don't forget to see The Road, too!

Exclusive Clip: Michael Shannon And Amy Ryan In The Missing Person
Friday, November 20, 2009 3:08 PM | From Cinema Blend
Though his role in Revolutionary Road last year was tiny, just a few scenes, there was no one who walked away from that film last year who didn't remember the name Michael Shannon. The tall and intense Chicago-raised actor has been working in theater for decades, but his role in that film-- which nabbed him a Best Supporting Actor nomination-- was the moment that thousands of moviegoers finally were forced to sit up and pay attention.
And despite his newfound ...
The journey of Sam Mendes is an awkward one. A talented stage director, his first film came to win best picture, and fueled a (not undeserved) backlash against him. His second film was coolly received, while his next two pictured showed a lessening presence. Revolutionary Road was delayed for a year and was not the [...]

They just can't get the trailer for Viggo Mortensen's "The Road" right. The first trailer looked like "The Day After Tomorrow," this new one seems like a standard drama. The problem may be that the majority of disturbing scenes involve the kid (Kodi Smit-McPhee) and The Weinstein Company is not about to freak people out or give away any of the twists of the movie.
Charlize Theron to Ride With Mad Max
Friday, October 30, 2009 2:21 AM | From CanMag.Com
I always figured that, after such an array of roles, Charlize Theron would get burned out with franchise films. Not so, as she has somewhat surprised me by agreeing to co-star in Mad Max: Fury Road. Or maybe she just has a thing for film's with the word "road" in the title...
Charlize Theron for Mad Max: Fury Road
Charlize Theron has been cast to star opposite Tom Hardy in Mad Max: Fury Road, which is set to begin filming (wait for it) next August in Australia.
George Miller will direct the fourth Max installment off a script that he not only wrote, but is also protecting with his kung fu grip.
