'The Road' Premiers in Venice

Watertown HS and St. Lawrence University alum Viggo Mortensen spoke after his latest film, The Road, debuted at the Venice Film Festival Thursday.

Mortensen plays a father trying to stay alive and keep his family together through a post-apocalyptic world wrought with pillagers and war amongst the survivors.

The Road opens in US theaters Oct. 16.

Note: This is one of more intense trailers I've seen in a long time.
