May 5th, 2010 | By Krystal | Category: Featured Articles, Movie News
During publicity for her Oprah taping, Kristen revealed to USA Today that she will star as Marylou in the big screen adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s classic, On The Road.
As she told USA TODAY’s Susan Wloszczyna today while in Chicago for an Oprah taping, “I am very much attached to a movie that has been trying to get made forever. Not that this is going to help it, but maybe I can just brag a little bit. I am super excited about it, too. I am about to play Marylou in On the Road. So that’s a big deal.”
Filmmakers including Francis Ford Coppola and Gus Van Sant have struggled for years to bring Jack Kerouac’s classic 1957 tale of disaffected members of the Beat Generation to the big screen. Tron: Legacy’s Garrett Hedland will play the confused drifter Dean Moriarity with Stewart as his young wife and British actor Sam Riley (Control) as his traveling pal, Sal. Brazilian director Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries) will direct. Filming is expected to start this summer.
OMG!! I live in Quebec (Canada) and i read on a website that the producers of “On The Road” are in Quebec to see if they could shoot the movie here!! It’s means that if they choose to shoot the movie in Quebec, Kristen Stewart will come out here this summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope they’ll choose our province, it’s would be sooo AMAZING!! Can’t wait to know their final choice!
