Big Sur (nach Jack Kerouac)

[StS]

Director: Michael Polish
Screenwriter: Michael Polish
Starring: Jean-Marc Barr, Josh Lucas, Kate Bosworth, Henry Thomas
Genre: Drama

"Big Sur," though autobiographical, tells the story of Jack Duluoz (the Jack Kerouac character, to be played by Barr) and his relationship to fame following his sudden literary success ("On the Road" was released in 1957) and his troubles with substance abuse. Spread across three trips to Lawrence Ferlinghetti's (called Lorenzo Monsanto in the book) cabin in the wilderness of Big Sur, the story also features Duluoz's relationship with Billie (Jackie Gibson Mercer in real life and Bosworth in the film), the mistress of his best friend, Cody Pomeray (Neal Cassady, to be played by Lucas).

"On the Road" hab ich ja bislang noch nicht gesehen - aber schön, dass man sich heutzutage nun doch auch mal Kerouac-Adaptionen versucht...
