If you weren't already aware, Cormac McCarthy's book The Road has been made into a movie. It's coming out around Thanksgiving, and they're inviting LibraryThing members to come and view it, and then participate in a Q&A with the director! It's a great chance to see a film adaptation of a popular book.

Screening Location: Bryant Park Hotel Screening Room, 40 West 40th Street, btw 5th and 6th Avenues

Time: 7pm (we will start on time) TONIGHT Thursday, Oct. 29 (the film is just under 2 hours).
After the film there will be a Q&A with director John Hillcoat

If you'd like to go, email your name and cell phone number to Holly Cara Price at Donna Daniels Public Relations - hcp@ddanielspr.net

It's first-come, first-serve.

Here's the press release, with movie description:
From Cormac McCarthy, author of NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, comes the highly anticipated big screen adaptation of the beloved, best-selling and Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, THE ROAD. Academy Award-nominee Viggo Mortensen leads a distinguished cast featuring Academy Award-winner Charlize Theron, Academy Award-winner Robert Duvall, Michael Kenneth Williams, Molly Parker, Guy Pearce and young newcomer Kodi Smit-McPhee in this epic post-apocalyptic tale of the survival of a father (Mortensen) and his young son (Smit-McPhee) as they journey across a barren American landscape that has been destroyed by a mysterious cataclysm. THE ROAD boldly imagines a future in which men are pushed to the worst and the best that they are capable of - a future in which a father and his son are sustained by love and an unshakable morality even in the face of total devastation.

Directed by John Hillcoat
