Let It Be a Quick Shoot

Filming begins for the feature film adaptation of The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, and I hope that they crank this shit out ASAP because I LOVE this book and cannot wait to see it in theaters.

Now, I know that Oprah basically pushed this book harder than that bowel movement you had last night, but it doesn't change the fact that I cancelled plans to go out just to stay in and read the book straight through (and I never have plans, so that's a big deal), that's how much I loved it.

Well the movie stars Viggo Mortensen as the Father, which I think is PERFECT casting, and according to IMDB it also stars Charlize Theron (as I imagine his wife in the flashbacks- but it's not specified- but still I buy it- she'd totally kick ass in that role).

Casting is still underway, and as of yesterday they are currently seeking actors for the following role:
[GANG MEMBER] 20 to 35 years old, male. Caucasian. Strong CHARACTER faces only. Scars, pock marks, etc. - all welcome. This is a VERY THREATENING, rough man who has survived unspeakable conditions and has done unspeakable things...

So it's time to call your agents, you desperate needy whores, and tell them to that you and your pock marks are destined to be up on the big screen in the major motion picture adaptation of The Road. Casting is by Francine Maisler, but no phone calls, please. And if any of you mofo's book this job, I want my 10%.
