The Road a Viggo Mortensen dark thriller, directed by John Hillcoat, was scheduled for a Nov. 14 limited and Nov. 26 wide release. But, quietly has been moved until hopefully December — and might be rescheduled out of 2008 entirely.
Apparently according to Hollywood Reporter, executives met with Road producers to discuss its current scheduling while Harvey Weinstein pushes for Stephen Daldry’s The Reader for December 10 release date.
Hillcoat’s movie was shot this year but is still in post and not done yet.
With the Oscar window closing for 2008, it’s no wonder that Weinstein Company wants Reader for 2008. The company feels Reader is a commercial and awards contender.
So, there may be less urgency to deliver Road before 2008.
