Cannes: Walter Salles Talks The Long Journey To Make 'On The Road'
27 May 2012 10:17 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Given that the source material was once described by Truman Capote with the immortal epithet "That's not writing, that's typing," and has generally been considered as "unfilmable," it's not surprising that it's taken the best part of half-a-century to make a film of Jack Kerouac's beat classic "On the Road." Plans were in the works as early as the publication date in 1957 (Kerouac wanted to co-star in the film with Marlon Brando), and documentarian D.A. Pennebaker came close, but it's Francis Ford Coppola who's been the driving force, developing the project since the release of "Apocalypse Now" in 1979.
And finally, the film has been finished, premiering at the Cannes Film Festival last week, thanks to Coppola, who ended up producing the film, and Walter Salles, the director of "The Motorcycle Diaries." The helmer has assembled an impressive cast, including Sam Riley as Sal Paradise, Garret Hedlund as Dean Moriarty, »

Carax, Cronenberg, Reygadas: Cannes Winners – Predictions
27 May 2012 1:02 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Leos Carax‘s Holy Motors Michael Haneke’s Amour / Love is my prediction for the Cannes Film Festival 2012′s Palme d’Or. But there are several other possibilities, which will quite likely receive, if not the Palme d’Or itself, then at least one of the runner-up awards. At Cannes, those include the Grand Prize of the Jury (runner-up), the Jury Prize (third place), Best Director, and Best Screenplay. [See also Cannes 2012: Best Actor Predictions; Cannes 2012: Best Actress Predictions] Here are the ones that come to mind: Leos Carax’s highly unconventional Holy Motors, in which Denis Lavant plays 11 roles while riding around in his limo. Holy Motors was greeted by mixed reviews — but then again, so was nearly every film shown at Cannes this year, and probably every other year. That includes Terrence Malick’s 2011 Palme d’Or winner The Tree of Life. Andrew Dominik’s violent Killing Them Softly, a scathing commentary on American sociopolitical culture set among New Orleans mobsters. »

Marion Cotillard: Cannes Best Actress Predictions
26 May 2012 8:26 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Marion Cotillard, Matthias Schonhaerts, Rust & Bone Marion Cotillard is the odds-on Best Actress favorite at the Cannes Film Festival 2012 for her performance as an invalid in Jacques Audiard’s De rouille et d’os / Rust & Bone. Cotillard has already won a Best Actress Academy Award, a British Academy Award, and two Césars, but she has never won a Cannes Award in the Official Competition. Barring an upset, this will be her year. [See also Cannes Best Actor Prediction.] Now, who could be the "upsets"? Well, there are a number of possibilities (and of course, ties aren’t infrequent at Cannes). Veterans Isabelle Huppert and Emmanuelle Riva, the two female stars in Michael Haneke’s acclaimed Amour / Love, could share the Best Actress Award — as was the case with the nearly all-female Volver cast in 2006. Or perhaps Huppert and Riva might share a "Best Ensemble" Award with fellow Amour player Jean-Louis Trintignant. That has (sort of) happened »

Cannes 2012 roundup: Michael Haneke's Amour conquers all
26 May 2012 4:12 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
From the bonkers Holy Motors to the disappointing On the Road, Cannes offered plenty of breadth, but only Michael Haneke's exquisite tale of an elderly man caring for his frail wife in their Paris apartment ticked all the boxes
Michael Haneke is too good. Whenever the Austrian director shows one of his films in Cannes, I always come out thinking the others might as well just pack up and go home because they'll never reach his awesome heights of control and precision. It's like the days when Beethoven was around and everyone else gave up composing. Haneke's Amour, about an elderly man looking after his frail wife (Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva, both utterly captivating) when a stroke confines her to their Paris apartment, was by some stretch the finest film at Cannes. It was the only piece to be exquisitely acted, composed, paced and pitched, as well as »

Walter Salles Working On Two New Screenplays, 'Terra' With Gael García Bernal & One With His 'Central Station' Star
26 May 2012 10:31 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Brazilian director Walter Salles' path to adapting Jack Kerouac's "On The Road" has been a long and winding one that's taken about seven years to come to fruition. And while reviews out of Cannes about his new picture starring Garett Hedlund, Sam Riley, Kristen Stewart and more have been decidely mixed (read our review here), the film will finally arrive on U.S. shores in the late fall.
But while "On the Road" was a prolonged pregnancy, the filmmaker, perhaps best known for "The Motorcycle Diaries," has kept fairly busy with other plans. After 2005's "Dark Water" came the little-seen Brazilian favela-slums-set "Linha de Passe" that never found U.S. distribution and all the while, Salles had been slowly chipping away on a documentary about "On the Road," which he has described as his own personal research towards making the film.
And there's more on the horizon. Playlist »

Deadline’s Pete Hammond talks about hot festival movies such as (clockwise from top left) the superb Prohibition-era shoot-’em-up Lawless with Tom Hardy and Shia LeBeouf; Rust And Bone, with an awards-worthy star turn by Marion Cotillard, shown with Matthias Schoenaerts; Brad Pitt, pictured with Richard Jenkins, in the Mitchum-esque noir thriller Killing Them Softly; the crowd-pleasing Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted; and Jack Kerouac’s On The Road, brought to the screen by Walter Salles with a star-making turn from Garrett Hedlund, shown with Kristen Stewart and Sam Riley in the back seat. Other hot movies include a pair of Nicole Kidman triumphs — (below from left) Lee Daniels’ over-the-top The Paperboy and Philip Kaufman’s HBO epic Hemingway And Gellhorn plus Michael Haneke’s brilliant but challenging Amour.

Stewart, Riley and Hedlund go On The Road
25 May 2012 2:23 PM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
Kristen Stewart understands the lure of the open road. So do her On The Road co-stars, Garrett Hedlund and Sam Riley.
The three young actors play the central love triangle in Walter Salles' adaptation of Jack Kerouac's Beat Generation novel, an experience that has helped them appreciate why the book is considered a classic.
The tale of wannabe writer (and Kerouac surrogate) Sal Paradise and his friend Dean Moriarty crisscrossing the United States in search of freedom and the elusive "it" was published in 1957. But Stewart said the way it captures the heady feeling of young adulthood is timeless. »

Twilight Kristen Stewart's super,sexual,freaky 'On The Road' movie details revealed. According to a new report from Hollywood Life, New York Magazine's Vulture section recently did a review of the new "On The Road" indie flick, featuring Twilight Saga hottie Kristen Stewart,and let me just say, the details are just shy of X-rated for sure.

Kristen Stewart's naked first day on set
25 May 2012 12:01 PM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Kristen Stewart spent her first day on the set of 'On The Road' naked. The 22-year-old actress plays Marylou the sexually adventurous first wife of Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund) in the big screen version of Jack Kerouac's classic novel and although Kristen knew she would have some racy scenes, she and Garrett weren't expecting her to have to strip off so soon after she started shooting. Garrett - whose character attempts a threesome with Kristen's and Sam Riley's (Sal Paradise) - told E! News: 'Our first day of shooting was answering the door naked and her being in bed over there.' Kristen added: 'That was maybe the one day I didn't feel as free as I did.' However, despite her »

Director: Walter Salles Writers: Jose Rivera (screenplay), Jack Kerouac (book) Starring: Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, Tom Sturridge, Elisabeth Moss, Viggo Mortensen, Kristen Stewart, Amy Adams, Kirsten Dunst Sal Paradise (Sam Riley) and Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund) -- protagonists of Jack Kerouac’s acclaimed novel -- hit the road. They travel across America from the east to west coast, back and forth. They live now and here, protest against the system, kindle their emotions and indulge in a hypnotic, sensual and narcotic journey. Before my first trip to Paris, everyone told me over and over again that I would be disappointed; that the city has nothing in common with the portraits by the painters from Montparnasse, nor is it as poetic as in the bizarre novels written by Henry Miller. Maybe it was true; however, my vision of Paris was so enormously strong that when I eventually got there, I saw »

Morning Meme: Molly Ringwald To Head L.A. Pride, Daniel Radcliffe Wants To Play Flash, and Trevor Boris Discusses Love On Grindr On "Conan"
25 May 2012 4:42 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
First up, clear your schedules, because snicks is liveblogging Days of Our Lives today, and from what I hear around the newsroom, he's liveblogging all next week (including Memorial Day).
Molly Ringwald may be getting pushback on whether Ducky was gay, but she can be sure she's surrounded by a bunch of gays when she's the Grand Marshall of L.A. Pride.
One Million Moms is boycotting both Marvel and DC over their gay characters, which I'm certain they're grateful for. Evidently though, it's not gay if there's a robot penis involved.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is calling out the National Organization for Marriage for their tendency to denounce extremist groups for their language while still linking out to their anti-gay screeds and discredited studies. I bet Brian Brown would love the martyr status that would come with being designated a hate group.

Robert Pattinson: Charlize Theron Loves to 'Sniff My Socks and Underwear'
24 May 2012 9:44 PM, PDT | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »
Robert Pattinson made fun of Oscar winner Charlize Theron. During an interview with the French nightly TV news show "Le Grand Journal" in Cannes, the British heartthrob joked that the "Snow White and the Huntsman" actress loved to sniff his socks and underwear.
"Charlize likes to come into my house at night and sniff my socks and underwear," Rob claimed. He went on joking, "When you do stuff like that, there are necessarily some surprises. It's not my fault."
Rob gushed that he started to worry about the smell of his socks ever since Charlize did that. "I'm really nerveous now that there might be something wrong with my socks," the 26-year-old actor admitted. "I never paid attention to it before. It's so weird."
The same TV show had previously interviewed Charlize and Kristen Stewart, who is Rob's rumored girlfriend, and asked the two ladies, "What's really not sexy about Robert Pattinson? »

‘On the Road’ Trailer & Clips: A Star-Studded Search for ‘It’
24 May 2012 3:46 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Despite boasting an all-star cast that includes Viggo Mortensen, Amy Adams, (Blonde) Kristen Stewart, Sam Riley (13), Kirsten Dunst, Alice Braga (Predators), Garrett Hedlund (Tron Legacy), Steve Buscemi, Terrence Howard and Mad Men‘s Elisabeth Moss, we actually haven’t covered much of Walter Salles’ (The Motorcycle Diaries) adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, which is being produced by Francis Ford Coppola.
Personally, I’ve been a longtime detractor of Kerouac’s seminal novel about the rise of the Beat Generation – I’m “Camp Thompson” (as in Hunter S.) when it comes to narcotics-fueled excursions that serve as ruminations on American life and society. Still, On the Road is a film worth noting as it has recently premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, so today we have the latest clips and a previously-released trailer for the film to share.

Between Snow White and the Huntsman's London premiere last week, On the Road's debut at Cannes yesterday (complete with a late night Robsten make out session) and the debut of new Breaking Dawn Part 2 posters today, we're surprised that May hasn't officially been dubbed Kristen Stewart month. Or has it and we just missed the announcement?! Either way, we love that K.Stew is branching out into all sorts of new projects and we love even more that her big screen flicks come with hottie costars (looking at you, Garrett Hedlund). And when we caught up with the two—along with Sam Riley—at the junket for On the Road, they couldn't help but gush over each other, well, when they weren't »

Cannes Critics’ Panel Day 8: Walter Salles’ On the Road
24 May 2012 1:10 PM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
It took three decades to bring the seminal book to the big screen, and finally, the road trip tome from Jack Kerouac received a mid fest showing. His fifth trip on the Croisette, (two shorts in omnibuses) with The Motorcycle Diaries (2004) and Linha de Passe (2007), I think you can make an argument that Walter Salles was the man for the job. An ensemble that included Garrett Hedlund (as Dean Moriarty), Sam Riley (Sal Paradise), Kristen Stewart (Marylou), Amy Adams (Jane Lee), Tom Sturridge (Carlo Marx), Elisabeth Moss (Galatea Dunkel), Kirsten Dunst (Camille) and Viggo Mortensen in a brilliant raspy voice set Old Bull Lee aka William S. Burroughs. It’s almost a shame that our critics think that On the Road is of a middle of the road quality. Click the image to enlarge!

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart kissed late night yesterday in Cannes. The couple were at Le Baron's Cannes outpost celebrating the premiere of her new movie On the Road. Robert checked out the screening as well, but walked the red carpet solo. A Balenciaga-clad Kristen nonetheless had plenty of male company. She posed for pictures alongside leading men Sam Riley and Garrett Hedlund, as well as supporting actors like Rob's Bff Tom Sturridge. We caught the movie yesterday as well - make sure to check out our review of On the Road. The movie is making waves because of some surprise topless scenes from Kristen. She didn't seem too caught up in the attention last night, though, as she spent time alongside Rob. It will be Robert's turn to debut a film tomorrow, as his Cosmopolis will be screened at the Grand Palais. View Slideshow › »

On the Road Debuts at Cannes

The film adaptation of On the Road has finally reached the screen, more than 30 years after producer Roman Coppola bought the rights to Jack Kerouac's Beat Generation classic. The movie, which stars Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Stewart, and Kirsten Dunst, made its debut at the Cannes film festival yesterday, reports the BBC . Director Walter Salles told reporters that he tried to stay true to Kerouac's improvisational style in his sex, drugs, and jazz-filled semi-autobiographical novel. The movie is "about the loss of innocence, it's about the search for that last frontier they'll never find," Salles says. "It's about »
