In what has been a long and turbulent road, we’re finally getting firm information on the single film which has been discussed the most since this site’s inception: The Road. The John Hillcoat adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s bleak, post-apocalyptic world was originally scheduled for release late last year, we assumed in time for Oscar, but at the last moment, the film was pulled off of the schedule and, for lack of a better term, shelved indefinitely and considering we’d only seen a few photos of the film, it looked like it might never come out even though it features Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce and Robert Duvall.

Good news! The wait is nearly over. Though it’s still a few months away, Bloody Disgusting has news that Dimension Films has finally set a release date and unless they change it again (I sure as hell hope not!) we’re going to be seeing Hillcoat’s new film on October 16th.

REJOICE!
