The film tells the story of a man (Viggo Mortensen) and his young son (Kodi Smit McPhee.) traveling through a desperate, post-apocalyptic world. The flap jacket on the book describes the setting as “burned America.â€The film co-stars Robert Duvall and Charlize Theron, and Guy Pearce.
This looks rather good. I need to read the book!
I’ve heard good things about the books.
Also: wilhelm scream at about 2:00
@tiki god: I knew I heard the wilhelm scream, just forgot the name of it.
I will watch anything w/ Viggo in it.
@nyokki: Do yourself a favor and read the damn book before October. The sooner the better, as they will be releasing more and more footage as we get closer.
This book is a quick read, and a very easy one to make personal. It’s not difficult to impose your own relationships over those of the characters in the book. Watching a bunch of clips of Viggo will eventually spoil that.
Anyhow, probably the best book I read last year.
I have been awaiting this film for a while now.
@suicydking: Will do, thanx.
Hope found here for anyone who read the book, saw this trailer and wondered wtf was going on:

Apparently, the trailer is about 300% more Hollywood action than the movie itself. Thank god.
@suicydking: I’m buying the book this weekend. I just realized, while reading the article, that my taste in books is almost opposite and unconnected to my taste in movies. I tend to read books that will prolly never make it to the movies. In books I like depth, complexity and fully fleshed out characters. IOW, I expect my books to be ‘good’. Movies, not so much. The movies I like tend to be graphic, simple/straightforward, characters that are relatively understandable and make me think (but not too much;)) Hmm, weird.
