Adams and Mortensen going "On the Road"

 

TOLDJA! is reporting that Amy Adams and Viggo Mortensen have joined the Francis Ford Coppola-produced and Walter Salles-directed, On the Road.  The film - also starring Sam Riley, Kristen Stewart, Kirsten Dunst, and Garret Hedlund - is an adaptation of the classic Jack Kerouac novel involving a series of cross country trips taken by writer Sal Paradise (Riley).

In the picture, Mortensen will play the character of Old Bull Lee while Adams will play his junkie wife, Jane, of two kids.  The actors are said to be shooting their scenes later this month as filming reportedly began today.

Jose Rivera (The Motorcycle Diaries) wrote the script while Rebecca Yeldham is also producing with Coppola.
