Wait, Nick Cave is doing the music for The Road? You’ve gotta be kidding. Oh nm, I just checked Wikipedia before finishing writing this and that makes sense, since his recent soundtracks are vocal-less and ambient. I bet Jonny Greenwood would also be a good candidate.

timing is everything.

just like The Road,
that’s not original.
however, it was an excellent book.
will the 2009 US economic collapse
justify this movie release? will teenagers
return to the CinePlex for a 2nd viewing?
no and no. this movie approximates reality.
“delayed” just means no.

I am not “ill informed”

I said I had doubts based on the fact that it was delayed without explanation. That is all.

You cannot change my opinion on this matter just because you are not affected in a similar way.

Rodney, just because you are ill-informed about the book or details of this movie, shouldn’t make you less interested in it. If that is your main reasoning behind “not caring” about it, that’s just sad.

Maybe the fact that the book won the Pulitzer is one little reason to care…

Are you kidding me?

I will change my mind when there is a reason to. Not just because a couple of you disagree with me.

I had heard that the reason for delay wasn’t because of anything in post, but because of the horrific subject matter.
the studio did not want to release this movie so close to the holidays.
I agree that Rodney should change his mind.
This is one of the best books I’ve read in awhile, and if what I hear is true, they are sticking pretty close to it.
I’m just hoping they are not re-editing for the ratings board!

Hey Rodney, I dont know if it was an issues with the production. I read on numerous websites that the reason there was a delay was because Nick Cave still wasn’t done with the music. He just started a US tour here about 2 weeks ago, so I’m sure it’s done now and they are just putting the finishing touches. I do recommend checking out the book, it’s seriously an easy and amazing read.

I am disappointed with the delay! As David, Andrew, and Bitton have all stated before me, I too think this is going to be a spectacular film experience! I want to see it sooner than later, but if they are having difficulties in post-production, then do what you gotta do to get it right… even if that means re-shooting some of it. Everything about this movie screams gold to me and I want it right now.

Andrew, I dont have to rethink that one.

Its what I feel about the situation at hand. If I change my mind and see it, it will likely be after it comes out and I hear some reviews. Right now ANY movie that gets delayed makes me doubt its quality.
