This was translated by google translate by @kstewangel. I went through and made a few tweaks, but I’m not positive I made the right ones lol. Le Monde also posted a slide show of the pictures of Garrett from the road trip and his screentest, complete with narration by Walter (in French). You can view that slide show HERE.
THE LAST TIME we saw them all three, two boys and a girl were on the porch of a plantation. They got into the Hudson in 1947 and disappeared under the trees of the avenue. It was September 2010, New Orleans, filming of On the Road had already lasted three months. They still remained the same, to travel from Mexico to San Francisco, via Canada .
A year and a half later, Garrett Hedlund , Sam Riley and Kristen Stewart found themselves in the harsh light of Los Angeles . This is the first meeting of the trio for months, yet it seems that filming has just finished . They escape from the studio, where they posed for photographer Steven Pan, to go smoke on the sidewalk. Their physical complicity is intact, the same as that bound them on the bench in the Hudson on American roads. Their way of speaking of the movie is not that of the actors constantly rehashing the same elements of language imposed by media coaches. In their stories, their thoughts, rather means the echoes of a shared experience that shaped them. Under the auspices of St. Jack Kerouac, edited by Walter Salles, they had another idea in the world of cinema .
May 23, they will be in Cannes for the world premiere of On the road , directed by Walter Salles , based on the novel by Jack Kerouac , the founding work of the Beat Generation . Brazilian director took over in 2004 of the inspired text of trips across the United States in the late 1940s, published in 1957. It took eight years to complete the film safely, without renouncing to anything, especially not to the three young actors whom he had chosen at the outset, although in the meantime one of them became a star.
For decades Hollywood wondered what faces might take Dean Moriarty, Sal Paradise and Marylou, the trio on the road , as Kerouac modeled from nature. Moriarty is Neal Cassady, the boy who had spent “a third of his youth in reform school, third in pool halls and third in public libraries”, as he likes to remind Walter Salles. Paradise is Kerouac himself, the immigrant Quebec, son of a laborer in Massachusetts. And Marylou is LuAnne Henderson , the girl who fled her family out of love for Cassady, and for freedom.
