Poets & Writers Theater

Directed by Ebs Burnough, this documentary explores the influence that Jack Kerouac’s 1957 novel, On the Road, has had on writers, actors, storytellers and artists, and follows the lives of Americans who set off on their own journeys in the footsteps of the famous author, who died in 1969 at the age of forty-seven.

The highly anticipated film adaptation of Jack Kerouac's On the Road finally has a trailer. Set to premiere in the U.K. on September 21, director Walter Salles's movie stars Sam Riley as Sal Paradise, Garrett Hedlund as Dean Moriarity, and Kristen Stewart as Dean's wife Marylou. A release date for the U.S. has not been set.
