‘The Road’ May Get Pushed Out of ‘08
We Are Movie Geeks —
... but sources close to the project claim it is “decidedly not done.”
Set in a post-apocalyptic world, ‘The Road’ stars Viggo Mortensen as a man who, with his son, must travel the roads of the United States attempting to survive. The novel was dreary but very passionate. Hillcoat previously directed the amazing wester, ‘The Proposition’, and I was anxious to see him deliver that same brand of filmmaking to this story.

Cormac McCarthy’s The Road Likely Delayed to 2009
Film Junk —
... According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Road is indeed lagging behind in post-production, and has been quietly shifted from a November release to December. The movie is expected to have Oscar potential, which means they’d like to have it hit theatres in time to qualify for the Academy Awards.

Execs are expected to decide the fate of The Road sometime this week, so we’ll keep our ear to the ground for ...

The Road Getting Pushed Back
Cinema Blend News —
... brought up the rumor yesterday, and now HR is confirming it. Apparently director John Hillcoat hasn't finished the film, making the release date impossible to reach. Even bigger news, though, is that The Road may be moved out of 2008 altogether, which marks a big shift in the Oscar race landscape, as wells as a blow for The Weinstein Co., which is distributing. They're also the people who are holding a gun over Stephen Daldry's head to finish his film, The Reader , so maybe they don't have the energy to pressure Hillcoat as well. It seems best for everyone that ...
