WATCH: Kristen Stewart Goes On the Road

Scroll To Top

The trailer is out for On the Road, the much-anticipated film of Jack Kerouac's iconic and homoerotic Beat Generation novel.

It stars as San Riley Sal Paradise (based on Kerouac) and Garrett Hedlund as pal Dean Moriarty (based on Kerouac friend Neal Cassady). Tom Sturridge plays Carlo Marx, a fictional version of gay poet Allen Ginsberg, and Viggo Mortensen is Old Man Bull, a stand-in for William S. Burroughs. For the ladies, there's Kristen Stewart as Dean's young wife, Marylou -- and she appears seminude.

Others in the starry cast include Kirsten Dunst, Amy Adams, Alice Braga, Steve Buscemi, Terrence Howard, and Elisabeth Moss. Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries) directs from a script by Jose Rivera. No definite release date is set, but the film is expected to be out later this year.

Watch the trailer below.

Trudy Ring is The Advocate’s senior politics editor and copy chief. She has been a reporter and editor for daily newspapers and LGBTQ+ weeklies/monthlies, trade magazines, and reference books. She is a political junkie who thinks even the wonkiest details are fascinating, and she always loves to see political candidates who are groundbreaking in some way. She enjoys writing about other topics as well, including religion (she’s interested in what people believe and why), literature, theater, and film. Trudy is a proud “old movie weirdo” and loves the Hollywood films of the 1930s and ’40s above all others. Other interests include classic rock music (Bruce Springsteen rules!) and history. Oh, and she was a Jeopardy! contestant back in 1998 and won two games. Not up there with Amy Schneider, but Trudy still takes pride in this achievement.
