We are a little over thirteen hours away from the world premiere of on "On The Road," perhaps the single most anticipated, or at least the longest anticipated, film of the Cannes Film Festival. And of all the question marks about the movie, the biggest for us has been the young principal cast: Sam Riley, Garret Hedlund, Kristen Stewart and Kirsten Dunst have all done good work in the past, but are still relatively untested with material like this. Could they embody the beatnik dream of Jack Kerouac's novel?
Well, we'll have our verdict for you early tomorrow morning, but in the meantime, you can have a look at a snippet from the film yourself, with a new clip that premiered on the movie's Facebook page. We saw some of this clip a few days back, albeit in French, but now it's in English for your viewing pleasure. So here's Marylou and Sal conversing in the language for which the film was intended.
And for Stewart fans, there's another treat: MTV managed to get the actress and her "Snow White and the Huntsman" co-stars Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron to read some extracts from naughty publishing phenomenon "50 Shades Of Grey," and it's pretty amusing stuff. Given that Universal just paid a massive sum for the film rights to the book, could this be a glimpse at what the eventual movie looks like? Almost certainly not, but still… Watch both the clip and MTV's lark below.
fans are the final critics..i agree… her personality is brought into her characters…not vice-vera..but she is young and there are many films to come. i loved her in the first Twilight..but it was a love story..and she was falling in love…which endeared her to so many fans….just wait she will have many surprises in the future…
and i think the clip was cool nothing special but its just a little clip and i didn't even know it was kristen at first even the voice is different. more delicate and innocent and sam did a great job he is so unique and interesting
you couldn't even see her eyes in this clip or sam's so stop critiquing something that isn't even there
There's nothing in that clip that gives me any confidence in Kristen Stewart's performance. It's the same dead-eyed, blank, bored act she puts on in every role. No different than Adventureland or Into the Wild, or god help us, Twilight.
virgin suicides, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, melancholia, etc.. yeah, kirsten dusnt is pretty untested with material like this.
