In 1951, after three cross-country road trips, Jack Kerouac wrote his defining novel: On the Road.  The book, published from a continuous 120-foot scroll, chronicles his adventures (as Sal Paradise) with Neal Cassady (renamed Dean) through life-changing experiences of drugs, sex, jazz and poetry.  Now the novel is becoming a movie, 31 years after Francis Ford Coppola obtained the rights.

Filming on the long-delayed adaptation is finally underway.  Walter Salles, whose The Motorcycle Diaries carries similar themes of finding one’s self on the open road, is directing a stellar cast and the inimitable Coppola is executive producing.  To celebrate, I read both the June 2005 and May 2010 (production white) drafts of the screenplay by Jose Rivera, who collaborated with Salles on Diaries for a well-deserved Oscar nomination.  Of course, this is only an evaluation of those drafts and not of the unfinished film.

Country Strong is in the Fall Movie Preview issue of Entertainment Weekly (Harry Potter cover). No picture of Garrett, but they did include some quotes from him about the movie.  They still had the movie listed as a December 22nd release, but it’s been pushed back to January 7th, 2011. They don’t have the article online yet, so I typed it up.

Country Strong

Last year’s Jeff Bridges vehicle Crazy Heart proved that there’s an audience for (and Oscar bait in) movies about washed-up country singers. But it took some badgering by friends and producer Jenno Topping before Gwyneth Paltrow finally picked up writer-director Shana Feste’s screenplay. Once Paltrow read the story of barely rehabbed fictional Nashville superstar Kelly Canter, the 37-year-old actress said, “I could not get it off my brain … [snip by me]”

So it was off to boot camp for Paltrow and Garrett Hedlund (Tron: Legacy), who costars as Beau Williams, Canter’s rehab sponsor and a struggling singer himself who ends up on her comeback tour along with an aspiring pop-country princess (Leighton Meester). The actors found the perfect on-set tutors: Tim McGraw – who plays Canter’s husband and manager – and his wife, Faith Hill, whom Paltrow drew upon for many of the character’s physical mannerisms. “When I went to Nashville, I sat down with Tim in his studio,” recalls Hedlund, who even moved to McGraw’s Franklin, Tenn. ranch for a month. “He said, ‘When you come out here, it’s not about the acting; it’s about the country music. You gotta sing all day long’.” Judging by the film’s title track, on which Paltrow joins forces with legendary vocalists Vince Gill and Patty Griffin, this cast got one hell of an education.

The cast was chosen by Salles during the project development. The novel is a favorite of the director, who traveled throughout the United States, following in the footsteps of Kerouac to address adaptation, filming the documentary “In Search of On the Road” as part of their work process.

Garrett Hedlund was assigned to the second lead role as Dean Moriarty. Hedlund will work alongside Jeff Bridges in fiction film scientific “Tron – Legacy” and is also the protagonist of “Love Don’ Let Me Down”.

Amy Adams Joins Viggo Mortensen For ‘On The Road’ Trip

Francis Ford Coppola has been working for 30 years to turn Jack Kerouac’s seminal Beat Generation novel On the Road into a movie. It is starting to look like it was worth the wait. Amy Adams and Viggo Mortensen are joining the Walter Salles-directed adaptation that will begin this month, I’m told. She will play Jane, the emotionally damaged junkie mother of two children and the wife of Old Bull Lee. Mortensen is going to play Lee. Kirsten Dunst, Kristen Stewart, Sam Riley and Tron: Legacy’s Garrett Hedlund are also set for the pic. Script’s by Jose Rivera, who teamed with Salles on The Motorcycle Diaries. Coppola and Rebecca Yeldham are producing.

Old Bull Lee is based on William S. Burroghs.
