Updates on THE ROAD

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

Bloody Disgusting got from Dimension Films when they attempted to get a confirmation on Pearce and also veteran Robert Duvall who their official source claims will have a role in the movie. All this comes on the day that The Hollywood Reportersay that 11 year old Kodi Smit-McPhee will play Mortensen's son in the tale of a months-long journey across a barren U.S. landscape after a cataclysmic event destroyed most of life on Earth. If it's any indication of Pearce and Duvall's likely involvment in the picture, the source at BD also told them McPhee would be in the picture before the trade announcement broke this morning. THE ROAD will begin filming later this month under the lens of John Hillcoat, the director of THE PROPOSITION.
