TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

To live the role, Viggo Mortensen would sleep in his clothes and deliberately starve himself. At one point, he was thrown out of a shop in Pittsburgh, because they thought he was a homeless man.

Director John Hillcoat filmed the soft drink vending machine scene with Man and Boy several times, each with a different brand beverage, out of concern that Coca-Cola executives would not want their product to appear in this movie. A telephone call, from Viggo Mortensen to the President of Coca-Cola, secured permission for a can of Coca-Cola to appear, consistent with the source novel.

During a preview Q&A screening in London, John Hillcoat revealed that Kodi Smit-McPhee won the role of "The Boy", partly due to an audition tape sent in by Kodi's father that showed them re-enacting the scene where the father shows the boy how to kill himself, by placing a pistol in his mouth.

The ocean scene was Lake Erie.

Viggo Mortensen nearly turned down the role of Man, because he had planned a break from film work. After completing his work as Man, Mortensen took roughly two years off from acting.

Popular Dialogues

"The Man: Do you ever wish you would die? Old Man: No. It's foolish to ask for luxuries in times like these."

"The Man: I told the boy when you dream about bad things happening, it means you're still fighting and you're still alive. It's when you start to dream about good things that you should start to worry."
