The On the Road screening — and U.S. premiere — was held at the equally iconic Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, L.A.’s preeminent site for movie premieres since superstar Norma Talmadge accidentally stepped in the forecourt’s wet cement back in 1927.

Kristen Stewart: Marylou ahead of her time then and now Kristen Stewart: "I think I was 16 … maybe freshly 17 when I met Walter for the movie, and at the time I’d have done craft service for On the Road. I’d have done anything. I’d have followed them in a caravan just to be like a groupie. It’s a funny way to put it: I "agreed" to the job when I was that age. I was so not ready to play that part [of the free-spirited Marylou]. So I think the process of getting a little bit older, getting to know the woman behind the character, it all helped me to play somebody so sort of … She’s not out of reach. It’s just that she’s … She was ahead of her time then, she’s ahead of her time like now."

I’ll never get a chance at this.
" Regarding the filming of On the Road with someone other than Coppola at the helm — that would be Walter Salles — Hedlund elaborated: "You know, it was pretty much the journey of a lifetime because — just the way that he films … They have a term, ‘guerrilla filming [sic].’ Most of the films that he does down in South America are two handfuls of crew members and one handful of non-actors [e.g., Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna in The Motorcycle Diaries; Brazilian heartthrob Rodrigo Santoro in Behind the Sun; grand dames of the Brazilian stage, film, and television Fernanda Montenegro and Marília Pêra in Central Station] and he ends up making these magical films with them. … Over the last five years, Walter has become one of the greatest in my eyes and will always be."
Besides Kristen Stewart and Garrett Hedlund, the On the Road cast includes Sam Riley, Amy Adams, Viggo Mortensen, Tom Sturridge, Kirsten Dunst, Danny Morgan, Alice Braga, and Elisabeth Moss.
