She said: "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."
The movie, which is a largely autobiographical work based on the spontaneous road trips of the novelist and his friends across the US, will also star ‘Tron Legacy’ actor Garrett Hedland who will play Marylou’s husband. The picture, which is rumoured to be directed by Walter Salles, has been spoken about for years by filmmakers such as Gus Van Sant and Francis Ford Coppola who were keen to adapt Kerouac’s story for the big screen.
