New 'On the Road' character poster featuring Sam Riley as Jack Kerouac


After a number of posters featuring the incredible supporting cast of On the Road, now we're finally starting to get to the centerpieces of Jack Kerouac's renowned road trip story.  Sam Riley, who plays Kerouac analogue Sal Paradise in the Walter Salles directed film, is featured on the latest one-sheet. Riley has been pegged as a potential superstar ever since 2007's Control, but hasn't really capitalized on it. Starring alongside Kristen Stewart, Garrett Hedlund, Viggo Mortensen, and Amy Adams in such a long awaited film(30 years!!) may be just what pushes him into the upper echelon.

On the Road doesn't have US distribution yet, but I expect that to change after it (hopefully) turns up at Cannes. [Facebook]
