Garret on The Road, No Country and Cormac McCarthy
The Road was mentioned in an article at Creators.com today:
The Coen brothers brought the already-popular novelist Cormac McCarthy to the attention of a much bigger share of the mass audience when they turned his book “No Country for Old Men” into an Oscar-winning movie. Now McCarthy’s latest novel, “The Road,” will hit theaters in 2009 with Viggo Mortensen starring. His co-star Garret Dillahunt, who also had the distinction of being in “No Country for Old Men” says fans will be more than pleased with the adaptation. “It’s incredibly faithful to the book and rightfully so. It’s just as faithful to the book as ‘No Country’ was. You can never match the descriptive power of a book, but I think it’s such a beautiful tale,” claims Dillahunt of the story about a father and son who journey together many months after a great, unexplained cataclysm. “I think people are going to be pretty blown away by the thing.”
Dillahunt’s only regret is that he has never met the famous author of the words he has had the pleasure of reciting. “Cormac came on the set of ‘No Country’ and ‘The Road,’ but of course never when I was around, which is a shame because I’m a geek about writers,” he admits. “I seldom get star struck, but when the writer comes around, I get completely tongue-tied. I’m dying to meet him. I think that’s why I work so hard to get in his movies.” [Creators.com]
