the Road picture

it's only fitting that the first item I read after a 7hr. road trip is about the film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's amazing novel the Road. io9 has the details on the kid who's been cast to play the kid to Viggo Mortensen's father.
filming starts next month in Pittsburgh (yay!). sounds like they are going to be staying fairly true to the novel, which is a relief.
the rest of the cast so far sounds amazing, too.

rotten tomatoes has some more details.
