Just heard about that on Facebook last night - apparently Remix Shoes are involved with wardrobe (providing Kristen Stewart's shoes, I believe).

I heard about this but hadn't seen the IMDB entry before. I really hope it's not a let down. Kerouac is to me what F. Scott Fitzgerald is to so many on this board, the embodiment of a specific era's zeitgeist.

We're showing it right now. Your enjoyment of the film will depend entirely on your ability to take Kerouac seriously. Otherwise you'll spend two very long hours trying to figure out exactly how much room there is in the back of a '48 Hudson.

i was at a talk / interview once with Darius Khondji (cinematographer of Delicatessen) and he said that one of his personal dream projects would be a 16mm black and white version of On the Road, and he mentioned Robert Frank's photo book 'the Americans' as inspiration. i could see that working (in my head it works, anyway).
really though, i think attempts to put cult literature on the screen are futile.

If some one could put the look and feel of "The Americans" on film it would be a winner (depressing, but very much worth watching).
Leaving "On the Road" out of it, a documentary film (historical) using the Robert Frank style would be very much worth watching. (It works in my head, also...)

There was another film, Heart Beat, with Nick Nolte, John Heard and Sissy Spacek that covered a lot of the On the Road territory. If I remember correctly it drew some of it's production design from Edward Hopper paintings. I believe it also focused a bit on the Hudson back seat but it's been a long time since I saw it.

My theory is it's like the Doctor's TARDIS. It's bigger on the inside.
