'The Road' Moving to 2009? Say It ain't So!
RopeofSilicon.com —
... based on Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize winning novel may in fact be moving to 2009. Though the Weinstein Co. web site currently lists its release date as Nov. 14, the mini-studio is unable to confirm that its eagerly-awaited Cormac McCarthy adaptation, starring Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron, will actually be in theaters that day. The website EW's Dave Karger points to is the long in place official site that has always labeled the film with a November 14 release date. However, Karger's report seems bleak for the equally bleak apocalyptic flick saying: Should ...
Will 'The Road' Instead Lead to 2009's Awards Season?
Cinematical —
... : that the book is merely Damn Good, but could make for a Great movie. We may not have a poster, or a trailer, or a fully functioning website just yet, but for all the Weinsteins' release date shell games, I can't help but think they have more to lose holding off on this than The Reader, which producer ...
Road Bump?
Hollywood Elsewhere —
Road Bump? Weinstein Co. reps didn't have anything to say this morning about whether or not they're opening John Hillcoat 's The Road , an adaptation of the post-apocalyptic Cormac McCarthy novel with Viggo Mortensen, Robert Duvall, Charlize Theron and Guy Pearce in the lead roles, in November or December or next year or what . I was told I'd hear something later today. A release-date decision was supposed to be resolved yesterday, according to a 10.15 Stephen Zeitchik story in the Hollywood Reporter . Pic was originally skedded to open limited on 11.14 with an 11.26 wide ...

... to check out the full-sized version. As it stands we still don't know when The Road will hit theaters. The Weinstein Co. has basically disabled the official website and the Flash application now barely loads. Rumor has it that it is getting a December release, but my assumption is that the Weinstein's are so desperate for a hit they would rather promote the title as a larger venture rather than an awards contender and will hold off releasing the film until later. We have yet to see a poster or a trailer for the flick, which tells me they just aren't ready to roll. ...

Road Wanderer
Hollywood Elsewhere —
Road Wanderer I don't trust IMDB commenters , but if I wasn't suspicious of them I'd be very enthused about seeing John Hillcoat 's The Road (Weinstein Co.), which, as we all know, was bumped out of an '08 release last fall and hasn't yet been given an '09 release date. The talk from unreliable people who claim they've seen a recent cut is more than encouraging. Harvey Weinstein will do what with it, I wonder? My guess is that he'll push the opening all the way into the fall for an Oscar run. (Which is what the original plan ostensibly was.) But if it's as good as the IMDB phantoms say it is, ...
Where in the World is 'The Road'?
RopeofSilicon.com —
... , here's how things went down. The Road's original release date was mid-November 2008. When October rolled by and no official poster or trailer had arrived (although a bland official site found its way onto the Internet), everyone knew something was up. As it turned out, the suspicions were correct. Instead of discussing The Road around the water-cooler in November, I was stuck arguing about how Robert Pattinson styles his hair (kids, the secret is stripper juice). Apparently The Road wasn't quite ready in time, and The Weinstein Company ...

New Moon makes the big bucks, nobody is surprised
KillerFilm —
While previously stated on Killer Film earlier today, Twilight Saga: New Moon threw itself into the best opening weekend of all time list by making an estimated $140.7 Million. By this time last week, for a nice portion of reporters, it became painstakingly obvious that New Moon was going to turn into a monster thanks to the power of teenage fangirls and mothers alike. Everyone thought that other films would fall at the waist side, but this isn’t the case. The Sandra Bullock starring inspirational drama The Blindside managed to capture the hearts of ...
