Where is post-apocalyptic movie "The Road" showing? Not in Maine. By TheReelGuy
"The Road," distributed by The Weinstein Company, was supposed to be one of the potential stand-out films this holiday season. Based on the award-winning Cormac McCarthy novel (he also wrote "No Country for Old Men"), the film was to be wide released Thanksgiving weekend, according to information on reliable Internet sources including ticket seller Fandango. The problem? The information was incorrect. As many people throughout the U.S. Are learning this weekend, "The Road" starring Viggo Mortensen is not to be found practically anywhere. It is not showing in Maine, New Hampshire, or Vermont. The closest theater where the movie can be seen in most of New England is Boston.
Similar situations exist around the country. Don't let yourself be denied the opportunity to see this film. Though it is bleak it is also one of the most honest love stories ever told, about generations and hope, about what it means to be human, to be humane. Write to or call your local theatre groups, distributors, university film clubs and departments. Create demand. Even if you feel it would be too difficult for you to see, help make it available for those in your area who want to see it, who need to.
I was fortunate enough to see it at Mill Valley Film Festival. I wish that you will be able to see it too. I have written to or called all my local theatres (my county and 9 counties around me), the university film departments and film clubs and repertory cinemas, and local film reviewers, because I believe that one voice crying in the wilderness can, eventually, be heard. Please join me.
