Coppola Going On The Road

22 June 2001 | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Legendary Hollywood director Francis Ford Coppola is reportedly set to turn the classic Beat novel On The Road into a movie. The novel was written by Jack Kerouac in 1950, but has never been made into a film. Coppola bought the film rights to the book some years ago, but has only just found a suitable director, Joel Schumacher. Brad Pitt is reportedly being wooed to play the main role of Dean Moriarty, who was based on real-life Beatnik and car thief Neal Cassady. News of the movie comes at a time of renewed interest in the 50s Beat Generation, which also included writer William Burroughs and poet Allen Ginsberg. »
