Latest On the road Stories

From David Fincher thrillers to underwater adventures, these are the best Kristen Stewart movies and where to watch them.

An adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s timeless beatnik novel, Walter Salles’ On the Road rambles along in the path of free-spirited thinkers Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund) and Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), struggling poets drinking and smoking their way through life … and putting off maturity for as long as is physically possible.

After having its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this summer, On The Road is finally getting ready for theatrical release. But before the movie hits theaters on December 21st in limited release, it will be first stopping in Canada for the Toronto International Film Festival next month. Hence why this brand spanking new trailer has found its way online.

If you're sick of Kristen Stewart-- both her ongoing presence in the tabloids and her dead-eyed work in the Twilight movies-- well, too bad. Twilight may be wrapping up, along with her relationship with Robert Pattinson, but Stewart is lining up a ton of new roles-- and most of them a whole lot more interesting than Twilight ever was

Stewart's role in the film is much bigger than Dunst's-- Marylou is on the road with the boys, after all, while Camille's relationship with Dean falls apart because she wants to stay home-- but both women seem to be doing interesting work here, perhaps holding the emotional center of a story about famously callow young men

The story follows Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), a young aspiring writer who, following the death of his father, meets Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund), a wild-at-heart ex-con. After becoming fast friends they make the decision to drive across the country and escape the ordinary lives that would otherwise await them. The film has a stellar supporting cast that includes Kristen Stewart, Kirsten Dunst, Tom Sturridge...

Penned by Jack Kerouac and published in 1957, On the Road is a seminal Beat Generation work that documents the author’s spontaneous road trips across our nation’s heartland. Sturridge, who broke out in Pirate Radio, will play Carlo Marx, who most believe was the “code” name for Beat poet Allen Ginsberg.

The poster features Viggo Mortensen in character as Old Bull Lee. I love the use of the flashbulb-white background behind the blue title, which for some reason makes me think of the use of pink in Drive for no other reason than it's bold and adds a neat contrast to the image. It's said that Lee was based on Kerouac's friend and mentor, fellow Beat writer William S. Burroughs (Naked Lunch).

There are few books ever written as beloved as Jack Kerouac's On The Road. While not for everybody, the story has spoken to and defined generations. As a result, there are many who are biting their fingernails about the Walter Salles-directed adaptation, as nobody wants to see their favorite book get absolutely ruined on screen (just ask anybody who loves F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby).

When adapting a literary classic, the room for error is paper thin. In addition to the pressure of living up to the author's written word, you have generations and generations of fans who can turn from

With the lead roles filled by relative newcomers Garrett Hedlund and Sam Riley, I really wasn't expecting a whole lot of famous faces to start showing up for five minutes of screentime

Viggo Mortensen and Amy Adams have been hired to help bring Jack Kerouc’s story to life. They join a cast already comprised of Kirsten Dunst, Kristen Stewart, Sam Riley, and

Kirsten Dunst may know a thing about road trips. After all, she sent Orlando Bloom on a totally confusing and needless one (with soundtrack to boot) at the end of the nightmare that was Elizabethtown

On the Road is one of those classic books that enchants most of us in high school and embarrasses us a little later, realizing how self-absorbed and cruel the central characters can be. So it makes some sense that Stewart

In Moriarty, Hedlund will play Sal Paradise’s friend, partner in crime, sometimes hero and tortured soul who seeks adventure at the cost of his family and responsibilities
