Today is Viggo Mortensen's 50th birthday. I didn't see him in Appaloosa, and now we'll have to wait for The Road.
When it comes to the 2008 Oscars, this could be the end of “The Road.” The Viggo Mortensen-starring dark thriller, which earlier this week had been pushed from November to December, now looks likely to open in 2009. A new release date has not been set, but the movie, a Dimension title from The Weinstein Company, probably will bow in either February or March.
The Weinstein Company declined to comment on any postponement. But director John Hillcoat’s film about a man (Mortensen) and his son wandering a post-apocalyptic U.S. is not expected to be ready in time for a 2008 release, and those involved with the film have decided that it will benefit from more post-production time and a less crowded release calendar.
Nuts.
Here's a blast from the past pic of Viggo from 1980. He used to just be a pretty face!
and here he is in Eastern Promises. Like a fine wine, he has aged pretty damn well.
