'THE ROAD' Oscar® Buzz! & New International Trailer

After the success of No Country For Old Men it was only a matter of time before more Cormac McCarthy novels were adapted for the big screen.

Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Road film adaptation stars Viggo Mortensen who turns in a performance worthy of an Oscar® nomination. He just may take home the hardware this year!



Mortensen leads an all-star cast featuring Charlize Theron, Robert Duvall, Guy Pearce and young newcomer Kodi Smit-McPhee in this epic post-apocalyptic tale of the survival of a father (Mortsensen) and his young son (Smit-McPhee) as they journey across a barren America that was destroyed by a mysterious cataclysm.

The Road is an emotionally charged masterpiece adventure set in a post-apocalyptic world. It boldly imagines a future in which men are pushed to the worst and the best that they are capable of—a future in which a father and his son are sustained by love. Shot in real environment and "playing it for keeps emotionally" emotionally the tough journey unravelled in The Road is both beautiful to look at and believable, with an uplifting ending. In conclusion, being kind is the most important thing.

Check out the new UK (international) trailer below.



We highly recommend you experience The Road, a soon to become favorite 21st century classic. Looks like Harvey and Bob have another Oscar® contender to add to their slate of Oscar® Buzz films this year: NINE, A Single Man, and Inglorious Basterds! The Weinstein Company's The Road is currently playing in theaters across North America.

The film, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, follows a group of Jewish-American soldiers, known as "The Basterds," intent on brutally killing Nazis. A young Jewish woman, who once escaped death at the hands of the chilling Colonel Hans Landa (Waltz), is thrown into the midst of a perilous plot involving the Basterds, a beloved German actress, and the movie theatre she runs.

The ensemble cast also includes Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Eli Roth, Michael Fassbender, Mélanie Laurent, and Daniel Brühl.

Christoph Waltz won the award for Best Actor at this year's Cannes Film Festival for his portrayal of Col. Landa and is slated to star as the villain Chudnofsky in the upcoming "Green Hornet" film, starring Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz.

The screening will take place at 7 p.m. at:
Arclight Sherman Oaks

As a courtesy to your fellow actors, please do not RSVP for this screening if you do not intend to stay for the Q&A portion of the evening. This screening will be monitored for unauthorized recording. Seating is on a first-come/first-serve basis. A reservation does not guarantee admittance.

Here's a chance to see Christoph Waltz, the biggest Oscar® buzz actor this awards season, live and in-person. I predict Waltz will win the "Best Supporting Actor" Oscar®, and Golden Globe Award.
