Kristen talks about her new role as Marylou in On the Road:

Kristen told USA TODAY's Susan Wloszczyna today while in Chicago for an Oprah taping, "I am very much attached to a movie that has been trying to get made forever. Not that this is going to help it, but maybe
I can just brag a little bit. I am super excited about it, too. I am
about to play Marylou in On the Road. So that's a big deal."

Filmmakers including Francis Ford Coppola and Gus Van Sant have struggled for years to bring Jack Kerouac's classic 1957 tale of disaffected members
of the Beat Generation to the big screen. Tron: Legacy's
Garrett Hedland will play the confused drifter Dean Moriarity with
Stewart as his young wife and British actor Sam Riley (Control)
as his traveling pal, Sal. Brazilian director Walter Salles (The
Motorcycle Diaries) will direct. Filming is expected to start this
summer.
