I don't want to have to wait another year. Oh, well. Good things come...so they say.

How long a delay are we talking? I've just read the book and would really like to see this film early next year!

This movie is going to be a very powerful movie, the book was powerful and i think that the delay is because they want to give the book credit for its genius and story telling. One thing i do hope though is that this movie is rated R. I hate seeing violent books turned into movies that are rated PG-13 and can't give it enough justice. It really hurts the image of the movie and people leave the theatre thinking, "that not what i pictured at all" and it ends up being a much less moving movie.

I do not believe this movie should be put out there this holiday season. Things are bad all over. I'm not sure it would do well if it was released right now. Loved the book. Not so sure people want to see dark and depressing even though it is also about hope. I say wait until February.

I told mu wife about the book and how depressing it is. It is a great book but depressing as hell. I read it in the summer when the economy wasn't so bad. When I found out that it was adapted to film I thought great, I can't wait to see it. Viggo playing the old man...I said, great! But the economy got really really bad. I thought about the book. I told my wife that now would not be such a good time to release The Road. And I said I had a feeling that it was going to be postponed. And here we are. And it should be postponed. It's not very positive, and will not give the people the hope that we need. I'm sure that is why it's not coming out as scheduled.

an anyone tell me who wrote the book?

Cormac Mcarthy

I'm kind of afraid to see the movie. The book was beyond any reading experience I've ever had. I'd hate to taint that experience with a bad movie. I agree with Matt, anything less than an R rating and I may have to skip it. This isn't a story for kids.

I can't wait to see this movie. I LOVE the book, have read it twice in the last month... anywhoo...it was SUPPOSED to come out around Thanksgiving this year, I guess I'm glad it didn't cause there's not even a trailer out. The only people who know about it are the book fans...
I surely hope the movie will make people want to read the book, McCarthy is amazing!
I am glad they are taking time to perfect things before they release it, I'd rather than, then be pissed when I finally do see it.
CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

From what I can tell the story has been adjusted somewhat. Flashbacks? there was no role for Charlize Theron in the book, nor for Molly Parker. I think that these story adaptations have disrupted and corrupted the story and the delays are over these inherent problems. The film will not have the same gravity as the book and therefore suck.
Schmaltzy Hollywood "gotta have a girl" mentality where this story could rock the crap out of the movie world done in B&W Goddard style.
I hope they use a Grateful Dead version of Morning Dew in the soundtrack, maybe over the credits
