How's this for impeccable timing? As other On the Road character posters were released at a steady pace, featuring its fantastic cast including Sam Riley, Amy Adams, Kirsten Dunst, Viggo Mortensen, and Garrett Hedlund, the film's biggest star was saved for last as the final payoff. Just as Walter Salles' adaptation of the Jack Kerouac novel has been confirmed as a selection for this year's Cannes Film Festival, the final one-sheet spotlighting Kristen Stewart has arrived.
Stewart plays Marylou, the first wife of Dean Moriarty(Hedlund) and as you can tell by the "Love is a Duel" tagline, their relationship is rocky, intense, and destructive to say the least.
In the works for nearly thirty years, with Francis Ford Coppola trying and failing to adapt the material before handing it off to Salles, its amazing to think we're finally nearing the end of On the Road's long journey to the silver screen. Expect a US release date to be nailed down in the days following Cannes. [Recentmovieposters]
