Next up for Charlize Theron is the highly anticipated The Road, based off of Cormac McCarthy’s hugely successful (and extremely dark) book of the same name. I’ve been waiting for this movie for a loooong time. I read the book, and still say it’s one of my favorite books I’ve ever read. The Road, which looks just as haunting and creepy as the book. It was probably the best book I read in 2008, and I can’t wait for the movie. But with that said, it looks like it is going to be insanely intense. EW is calling it “the most important movie of 2009″.

Based on Cormac McCarthy’s best-selling and Pulitzer Prize winning novel, “The Road is the epic post-apocalyptic tale of a journey taken by a father and his young son across a barren landscape that was blasted by an unnamed cataclysm that destroyed civilization and most life on earth.
