ITT, I review the trailer for The Road...

The review

This trailer is awesome.

I was thinking to myself that Charlize Theron was definitely in that trailer a lot, and then I read this on Wikipedia:

Quote:

Charlize Theron as the Wife, who appears in flashback. Theron joined the film because she was a fan of the book and had previously worked with producer Nick Wechsler on the 2000 film The Yards. The character will have a larger role in the film than she did in the book. Hillcoat said of the expanded role, "I think it's fine to depart from the book as long as you maintain the spirit of it."

Lame. But whatever, Charlize is cute and everything else looked sweet.

Now tell me when Blood Meridian comes out and I will be happy.

Somehow I had missed that there was a Blood Meridian movie in the works. Awesome.

I was also confused by the multiple appearances of Theron in the preview.

Read the book, loved it (though I'm a fan of the McCarthy's Border Trilogy). Not too sure about the movie, mainly cause I don't like aragorn. Kinda looks like Fallout 3 the movie, cept the raiders are a bunch of rednecks, and no laser rfile.

More like fallout

These movies inspired Fallout 1. Its pretty much the same except the raiders ride around instead of run around and its in Australia instead of California or DC/Virginia.

Also, its an awesome movie.
