A new poster and image for “On the Road” starring Kristen Stewart, Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund and Kirsten Dunst have been released. The film is nearing completion and rumor has it will open in the UK September 21, 2012. No word on a U.S. date yet.

On the Road is about an adventure on the highway. Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund) and Sal Paradise (Sam Riley) are the portrait of the Beat Generation. Their search for “It” results in a fast paced, energetic roller coaster ride with highs and lows throughout the U.S. Kristen Stewart will play Marylou, Moriarty’s first wife, who joins in on part of their road trip.

The film is based off the book of the same name by Jack Kerouac.

“On the Road is truly an influential work. Overnight, it propelled Jack Kerouac from unknown status to “king of the beats” and then helped awaken a nation of youth who shook America out of the 1950s and ushered in the excitement of the 1960s. The novel continues to inspire and has picked up a new generation of followers in the 1980s and 1990s. On the Road follows Sal Paradise as he traverses the American continent in search of new people, ideas, and adventures. But it’s the way Sal and his friends–primarily Dean Moriarty–look at the world with a mixture of sad-eyed naivete and wild-eyed abandon that causes the rumbling in the soul of so many who read it.”
