After outlining the differences between Reservation Road and Revolutionary Road yesterday, you should be all set and ready to watch this trailer for the one of the road-themed movies coming out this fall: Reservation Road. Starring Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix, Mira Sorvino and Jennifer Connolly, Reservation Road is a quiet thriller set in suburban Connecticut.
After his son is killed by a hit-and-run accident, Ethan (Phoenix) goes on a manhunt to find the person who was behind the wheel. Little does he know that the person he's sniffing out lives in the same town and has a young son himself. Trying to come to terms with the incident, Dwight (Ruffalo) falls down a spiral of guilt while Ethan gets closer and closer to sniffing out his son's killer.
The book reads like a creepy, heart-wrenching film, so it should be fairly simple to adapt for screen, though the trailer leaves much to be desired. The movie opens October 19, so to watch the preview, read more

What a great cast. I am looking forward to seeing this.
1Sounds awesome! I love any movie with Joaquin Phoenix. Is the book any good?? I'd like to read it before I see the movie.
2ccsugar — The book is really good. It's just a really well-told story. I definitely recommend reading it before the movie comes out!
3Great cast for sure! I am looking forward to seeing this.
4Not sure I'll see this one. Maybe. But I would say the guy is the son's "killer" rather than his "murderer." Murder means he meant to do it. This looks like a horrible accident, followed by horrible judgment...
5Yay - Jennifer & Joaquin! I cant wait for this.
6Looking forward to seeing this one. The cast seems perfect.
7mwmsjuly19 — That's a good point. I changed to "killer" in the post per your clarification. It wasn't premeditated, though the driver does zoom away after the fact. Very sad story.
8i'll watch just about anything with joaquin and jennifer. they're both such incredibly talented actors.
9Love Joaquin, no doubt will see this movie in theatre.
10Thanks Buzz Sugar, I think I will read the book first. The story looks really good, and they have edited some important parts when making the book into the movie.
11i've been looking for a good book to read - if this comes out in october i will have lots of time to read the book first.
12Joaquin? I'm in.
13kaww that We Own The Night looks awesome, can't wait for that one. I just had to watch the preview twice coz Joaquin looks so yummy rarrrl
14I can't wait! i love Joaquin Phoenix and will see everything he does. i trust his judgment!
