“The Road” Less Traveled

Entertainment Week 26-May-2008 - The Road Less TraveledViggo Mortensen is again sporting facial hair and traveling through a strange land, but this time he’s leaving behind the hobbits and elves for a trek on The Road. Our shots from the post-apocalyptic tale are a tad on the solemn side, so turn the page to see some more comical imagery from the week….

In this exclusive shot from the set of The Road (out later this year), a father (Viggo Mortensen) comforts his son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) after an apocalypse sends them on a harrowing journey to find safety.

“It’s relentlessly challenging,” Mortensen says of the drama, which is based on Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. “Emotionally, this might be the most demanding role I’ve had.”
