The apocalyptic horror movie The Road was released almost 10 years ago, but the impact it left remains profound. Directed by John Hillcoat and staring Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron, and Kodi Smit-McPhee, it’s one of those films that’s completely engrossing, but still difficult to watch; harrowing, gut-churning, and heartbreaking.
Hillcoat’s The Road was an adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name by Cormac McCarthy (the screenplay was penned by Joe Penhall). Now, Suntup Editions is releasing a stunning, limited reissue of The Road that all horror fans will want in their libraries. Suntup is also releasing an extremely limited Lettered Edition. Check out the specs below.
The limited edition of The Road by Cormac McCarthy is limited to two hundred & seventy-six copies, and is presented in two states: Lettered and Limited. The edition measures 6¼” x 9¼” and features seven illustrations by Ryan Pancoast, as well as an exclusive introduction by Joyce Carol Oates. Also included is a wood engraving by
