***Update: Press Conference now available***
Surprise, surprise, I’ve made it over to London for the British Film Institutes’s 53rd Annual London Film Festival (a little late but here none-the-less).
I started the trip off on a bit of a depressing note, with a screening of The Road followed by a press conference with actor Viggo Mortensen, screenwriter Joe Penhall, and director John Hillcoat. All of whom were in much chipper spirits than there film was.
Check out a few photos from the press conference and some quick thoughts on the film below…

The ridiculously talented Academy Award nominated actor Viggo Mortensen could be throwing in the towel with acting. According to Cinemablend, Mortensen recently did an interview with Men’s Journal and spoke about his future projects or lack there of. For the past ten years the actor’s career has been a critical success with no signs of stopping, but at this point he may want it to.

WARNING: I don’t think you should watch these. I watched about 5 seconds of each and it’s already spoiled too much for my liking. The one thing I can tell you about this film from my very limited viewing is that they’re in the dark a lot. Frankly, that’s all I want to know. I’m a big believer that a film should be seen in it’s entirety and not in bits and pieces.
That being said, I know not everyone agrees with me so here are the clips…

Although the film, The Road, doesn’t hit theaters until October 16th, that doesn’t stop people from talking about it. Esquire Magazine has written the first review for the movie they seem to really like the film. In fact, they say it is “the most important film of the year.” That’s quite the statement!
The film is directed by John Hillcoat, and stars Viggo Mortensen, Rober Duvall, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, and Kodi Smit McPhee and is based off of Cormac McCarthy’s novel, The Road. The story is about a man (Mortensen) and his son (Smit McPhee) as they travel through a post-apocalyptic America. The setting is very dark, and covered in ash. The two are attempting to make it to the coast, yet they don’t know what awaits them there.
Here are two excerpts from the Esquire Magazine review:

Unlike the 1950′s, Westerns aren’t plentiful in today’s cinema. So when one does pop up you should be looking for two things. First off, it should consist of a story that hasn’t been done to death before. Secondly, it should leave you with a feeling of wanting to go saddle up a horse, strap on a six shooter, lower your hat, and ride off into the sunset. The new film Appaloosa accomplishes this and more.
(Ed Harris and Vigo Mortensen) star as Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch.Two no nonsense Lawmen for hire who are summoned to the town of Appaloosa, which is under the thumb of local bad guy Randall Bragg (Jeremy Irons). To complicate things, the recently widowed and squinty eyed love interest (Renee Zellweger) shows up to drive a wedge between our two heroes and is sure to cause more trouble than she’s worth. The dust temporarily settles, but the towns fate is still yet to be decided. What will become of Appaloosa?
