Final “The Road” Poster
A final poster for post-armageddon epic “The Road“, starring Viggo Mortensen, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce and Robert Duvall has been released.
A father (Mortensen) and his son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and, when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing: just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food and each other.
Director John Hillcoat (The Proposition) led the production, based on a screenplay by Joe Penhall and Nick Wechsler.
Angelina Jolie To Replace Charlize Theron In “The Tourist”
Charlize Theron has been attached to “The Tourist” for a long time but she has left the movie and Angelina Jolie is in talks to replace her in the spy thriller.
Sam Worthington (Avatar, Terminator Salvation, Clash of the Titans) replaced Tom Cruise and will probably star alongside Jolie in a remake of the 2005 French movie “Anthony Zimmer.“
Cruise has been considering the lead since August 2008 and Theron joined up that November. Production was supposed to start in March, but was delayed for a number of reasons. Cruise left to do the untitled James Mangold project “Witchita” with Cameron Diaz.
Now things are scheduled to start again in January 2010.
Will Smith and Charlize Theron Confirmed for Hancock 2
Director Peter Berg has confirmed to MTV that Will Smith and Charlize Theron for “Hancock 2.” “Everybody’s going to come back for a sequel,” Berg said.
Adam Fierro (Dexter) and Glen Mazzara (The Shield) were hired to pen the sequel earlier this summer, but it was not confirmed whether any of the original cast would be involved.
The movie that opened last summer about a drunk superhero and a publicist trying to help restore his image turned out to be a pseudo Greek Mythology when it was revealed that Smith was actually a god that can become immortal and highly vulnerable in the presence of his goddess companion, played by Theron. Peter Berg previously talked to Sci-Fi Wire, basically saying that since the story indicates he’s not alone of his kind, they could bring in another god out there for the sequel.
