In case you hadn't heard, today was the taping for The Oprah Winfrey Show's special The Twilight Saga: Eclipse episode, and Kristen Stewart was among the cast members present for the show.
USA Today had a reporter at the event, who got a chance to speak with Kristen Stewart about her upcoming work.
As she told USA TODAY's Susan Wloszczyna today while in Chicago for an Oprah taping, "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."
USA Today reports that the film - which will shoot this summer - will co-star Garrett Hedlund (as Stewart's character's husband) as well as Sam Riley and will be directed by Walter Salles.
The story is based on a Jack Kerouac book of the same name, and the story synopsis is as follows:
A writer holed up in a room at his aunt's house, Paradise gets inspired by Dean Moriarty (a character based on Kerouac's friend Neal Cassady) to hit the road and see America. From the moment he gets on the seven train out of New York City, he takes the reader through the highs and lows of hitchhiking, bonding with fellow explorers and opting for beer before food. First published in 1957, Kerouac's perennially hot story continues to express the restless energy and desire for freedom that makes people rush out to see the world. The tale is only improved by Dillon's well-paced, articulate reading as he voices the flow of images and graveled reality of Paradise's search for the edge.
USA Today also has another report from the show where the reporter lauds the film's progress, and you can read that HERE
