The Road, as a movie, is a real downer, but it’s newest poster looks a little upbeat with the bright light behind the two main characters.   Now, I know the bright light is explosions, but still it offers a sense of hope.

The poster also promotes “based on the Pulitzer-prize winning novel” to give credibility to the movie.

The Road is being promoted as an 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.
