‘The Road’: Hear How Director John Hillcoat Stayed True to McCarthy’s Novel
It’s easy for films based on novels to get off topic, and often you’ll hear that the book is far better than the movie. So for director John Hollcoat’s adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel The Road, he kept McCarthy on hand to make sure the film’s focus didn’t deviate too far from the novel. To prevent the film from getting swept up in action, explosions and cannibalism and to put the foccuss back on the characters and their journey, McCarthy demanded four lines of dialogue remain in the film.
“…Just those four lines. Nothing else. He didn’t miss any of it.” Said director John Hillcoat “It’s been great, because he could see the more you focus on that other stuff [post apocalyptic doom, explosions and cannibalism] the more unbalanced it becomes, and it becomes something else…”
