Production Weekly on Twitter has tweeted:
Garrett Hedlund in talks to play Dean Moriarty in the Walter Salles adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road,” due to film this summer.
A role as Dean Moriarty in the Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries) adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road,” centering on two young men (Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty) who journey across the North American landscape in pursuit of self-knowledge and experience. Salles followed the route Kerouac took when he wrote the book and made a documentary along the way as he interviewed Beat poets and other characters from the novel who are still living. The project has been in development since Francis Ford Coppola optioned the rights nearly three decades ago, but is reportedly now set to film this summer.
