Filming of 'The Road' leads to Pittsburgh

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.

That's too funny. I had a parcel in the mail today which confused me. It was one of those yellow padded envelopes, so I was thinking it might have been from eBay since I couldn't have thought who would still send me a gift - not one this big. But the sticker said it was from Amazon. Usually they use cardboard boxes, so huh. I look inside, and it's my Lost S3 DVD set. Then I notice the sticker with the return address. No, it wasn't sent from the US, where I had ordered it, nor the UK nor Germany: it was sent from Auckland, New Zealand. o_O


Am watching Reindeer Games, with Charlize Theron (to my private amusement as a redhead), a very sexy Gary Sinise with long hair and a small moustache and beard, and Danny Trejo as one of Gary's guys. (Ben who? Oh, Affleck? Who cares? ;)) Really funny movie, witty dialogue. I liked this exchange between Danny's character and Gary's - Danny's was reading a magazine while Gary's was driving the truck they were in (this is not word for word exact, but you'll get the gist):

D: Research says that retail makes 50% of its annual profits between December 1st to 25th. That's half a year's profit in one month. Now it seems to me an intelligent country would invent a second gift-giving event in May or June, to help business.

G: Ever since you started evening school you've been giving me a headache.

Well, it was funny the way they delivered their lines. *g*

Dang, looks like I missed Danny's last scene while writing this? Oh well. *g* The film is finished, so it's time for bed - five day weekend, wheee!!!
