Pittsburgh is The Road!

[Mark Kohut]

I am from the Pittsburgh area and spend much time there again.
Lots of you read the book and might be interested in the movie....

Post-Apocaylptic Pittsburgh
Published January 16th, 2008 in Books, Film.


The good news: Viggo is coming. The bad news: he's coming to film The Road.

The producers filming Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer prizewinning The Road
decided that Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania looked like the end
of the world had the best variety of locations and filming incentives.
"Filming will take place in suburban areas," the Post-Gazette reports
today, "along with coal mines, forests and an unused freeway a couple
of hours away."

Unused…freeway?

The fact is, you don't have to squint too hard to see Pittsburgh as
post-apocalyptic. Deserted streets, unoccupied row houses, boarded-up
churches, cavernous empty warehouses. And nearby: abandoned mines,
steep hills. All under an ever-gray sky with a dusting of snow and, in
the film, ash.
