Apocalypse, here we come.
Pittsburgh has landed "The Road," a big-screen adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy best-seller of the same name that will star Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce and a young Australian actor named Kodi Smit-McPhee.
2929 Entertainment, which is producing the movie, and the Pittsburgh Film Office yesterday confirmed rumors "The Road" will shoot in Southwestern Pennsylvania for eight weeks starting in late February to take advantage of the cold and snow. The film also will spend a week in Louisiana and a week in Oregon.
The movie is budgeted at under $30 million and will feature 15 or so speaking roles along with background players. It is set to arrive in theaters at the end of the year.

Looks like Guy will only come in late in the movie - I hope he'll have some good screen time though - and with Viggo, 'cause it would be great! And Charlize Theron too, eh? Plus the director of The Proposition, which I liked a lot - sounds like a great combination to me! Now of course the question is which way the writer's strike will influence the start of shooting.
