The Road . . . A Movie?

I recently learned that a book I read a few months ago, The Road, will be released as a movie on October 16th. The book was written by Cormac McCarthy, famous for No Country for Old Men. It was disturbingly good. The book takes place in a post-apocolyptic society. Some people run and hide, trying to find food. Others eat whatever they can fnd even if that means eating other people. The story follows a man and his son as they trek across the country toward the coast.
