Studio bosses at Dimension Films have won the rights to turn the author's The Road into a new movie, following the success of McCarthy's No Country For Old Men, which is among the favourites to land a Best Picture Oscar next month (Feb08).

In the film, Oscar-winner Mortensen will play a struggling father fighting off cannibals following a nuclear explosion.

Theron, who is said to be a huge fan of McCarthy's book, will largely appear in flashback scenes, according to Daily Variety.
