I refer you to a column entitled “The AFM A-List,” by Stephen Galloway in the October 30th “Hollywood Reporter:”
The Road
2929 International
Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is coming to the screen, with
Viggo Mortensen and Guy Pearce in leading roles. John Hillcoat — who made a splash helming the 2006 Australian western “The Proposition” — will direct from a screenplay by Joe Penhall, with shooting set to begin in New Orleans in January. The book, an apocalyptic tale about a father and son who walk through a ravaged post-war America, is the third recent McCarthy adaptation, following Billy Bob Thornton’s 2000 drama “All the Pretty Horses” and the Coen brothers’ current Miramax release “No Country for Old Men.” Nick Wechsler produces.

I think it would be a good idea to update this column. Viggo Mortensen is still in the lead to do the Road. Guy Pearce will have a small part in the film..
No question about this at all.
