A writer for Esquire called THE ROAD the “most important” movie of 2009. He also said The Weinstein Co. was threatening to fuck it all up with their marketing campaign. They warned that the trailer would try to explain what happened that led to post-apocalyptic future in the movie, something that was never explained in the book or by its author Cormac McCarthy. Sure enough at the beginning of this trailer, we have stock footage of lighting, fires and tidal waves with a newscast voiceover. So great, people can think this is going to be just like The Day After Tomorow, The knowing, 28 Days Later, and High School Musical; apocalypse movies are cool! It will be released in October 2009. Check out a blog dedicated to the movie, many a pictures.
