Here's a bit of an update on the making of Cormac McCarthy's novel, The Road, into a film. Quiet Earth had some photos sent to them from the personal collection of actor Jeremy Ambler (shown to the right) who was lucky enough to play one of the unfortunate "people in the cellar." They also found the film's official website which, at the moment, is just a front page.
These photos are from when they were filming the scene the one where The Man (Viggo Mortensen and The Boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee) explore a seemingly empty manor only to find that it's occupied by people who keep their living food supply in the cellar.
I've just finished the book and thought it was absolutely brilliant. Suspenseful, sad but strangely uplifting. The ending is sublimely melancholy. I'm made up to see these photos and cannot wait for the film.
