Aussie director John Hillcoat comes ready to discuss his intense adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer winner The Road. The post-apocalyptic story documents the day-to-day survival of a father (Viggo Mortensen in prime form) and his young son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) as they trek across a mysteriously burnt-out American landscape to get to the coast. Plan for Hillcoat — who also directed The Proposition, a fantastic 2005 western about the Wild Wild Outback — to talk about collaborating with Nick Cave again, his first-rate cast, and the ins and outs of translating McCarthy's spare, sculpted prose into a persuasive visual experience.
