Director Walter Salles reports that his long-awaited film of On the Road is nearing completion and aiming for a May 23rd release in France.  The movie stars Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, Tom Sturridge and Kristen Stewart, with Viggo Mortensen, Amy Adams, Steve Buscemi, Kirsten Dunst and Terrence Howard filling out the cast for the adaptation of the Jack Kerouac classic.  The movie doesn’t yet have a North American distributor, so there’s no word on when it might release in the U.S. In the meantime, get your Beat fix with our audio of On the Road, read by David Carradine, or our new audio, One and Only: The Untold Story of On the Road. One and Only, by Gerald Nicosia and Anne Marie Santos,  tells the story of Lu Anne Henderson, the woman who started Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady on the trip that inspired the book.
