Oct 21 2009 New 'The Road' Poster: "Stand Back, Son -- I'm Going To Rappel Down Something, Then Shoot Something."
If you're still looking for a Halloween costume idea, how about Viggo Mortensen in The Road? It would be pretty easy to put together, plus you could probably use it again next year as a mountain-climbing-hobo-assassin costume. That's capital-V Value.

USA Today has the first look at the bleak, post-apocalyptic world of John Hillcoat's The Road, starring Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron, and a child with an annoying name. Wondering how they ever found such a stark, depressing landscape in the real world (pretend you're wondering)? The answer: Pittsburgh!
The film, which stars Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron and 11-year-old Kodi Smit-McPhee, also was shot in Katrina-ravaged New Orleans and on Mount St. Helens in Washington state for scenes of devastation.But most of the film was shot in and around Pittsburgh.
Hillcoat found abandoned coal fields, a deserted amusement park and an 8-mile stretch of closed freeway as locations.

So basically, "Thanks for letting us shoot there, Pittsburgh, but man, you guys are absolutely drenched in misery, and you wear sadness like a cape made of pure melancholia--that is, if you still wear anything, since you're so weighed down by despair you probably can't even lift yourself to dress anymore. And by the way, the Penguins really blew it in the playoffs this year."
