Australian child actor Kodi Smit-McPhee just signed on to star as Viggo Mortenson?s son in the upcoming film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy?s (No Country for Old Men) novel, The Road. The story concerns a father and son traveling across a post-apocalyptic United States after a plague has wiped out most of mankind. I wasn?t sure just how scary this flick was going to be, but after checking out the kid?s haircut and earring?yeesh! I?m friggin? terrified already!
