“The Road” More Movie Photos

Brand new movie stills from the upcoming Post Apocalyptic thriller “The Road” by director John Hillcoat and starring Viggo Mortensen, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce and Robert Duvall have been released. John Hillcoat directs “The Road” from a script by Joe Penhall.

A father (Viggo 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.

Kodi Smit-McPhee to drop out ‘Wolverine’

Just when it seemed that all the pieces were falling into place for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the change in shooting schedules on director Gavin Hood’s Logan Year One tale has forced newbie Kodi Smit-McPhee to drop out of playing the youngling adamantium-clawed wild thing.

Already committed to John Hillcoat’s adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy thriller The Road (alongside Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron), the oddly monikered newcomer has seen the coveted superhero mantle passed over to equally bizarrely named pretender, Troye Mellet.

Still on target for a May 1, 2009 release, the casting reshuffle shouldn’t cause too many problems with the production.

According to latest reports, the young star of ‘Juno’ Ellen Page, alos, has dropped out from the Sam Raimi’s newest feature film project ‘Drag Me to Hell’. She has quit the project because she “didn’t like the latest draft of the script”.

However, MoviesOnline claimed that according to a joint statement from Ghost House Pictures and Mandate Pictures, the Canadian actress is no longer available for the project due to scheduling conflicts.
