Kristen Stewart Moves Fast in New On the Road Trailer

Kristen Stewart has been in the news a lot lately, but less so for her movies. But the latest international trailer for On the Road is out, so perhaps a small diversion is due. The film is the first real attempt to bring Jack Kerouac’s legendary novel of the same title to screen, over 30 years after Francis Ford Coppola bought the rights to the book. Walter Salles directs the film, which had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May . On the Road stars Stewart, Garrett Hedlund, Kirsten Dunst and Sam Riley. The film features Riley (ControL) as Sal, who falls under the spell of the intoxicatingly charming Dean Moriarty (Hedlund), who himself chases around America for freedom and an elusive “It.” Standing in as surrogates for Kerouac and Beat poet Neal Cassady, respectively, Sal and Dean travel around the country indulging in drink, drugs, sex, fast driving and the whims of youth hellbent on not conforming to post-WWII America. “I like pushing and watching a genuine experience on screen,” Stewart said in Cannes. “The reason I wanted to do the job was to be provoked as much as possible and then to do it and take it further. We were just going forth, and as long as you’re being honest there’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

Hunter Parrish Responds to Finnick Odair Rumors

Hunter Parrish came oh-so-close to being cast as Peeta in The Hunger Games , so the actor knows to be careful this time around. He’s trying not to get his hopes up. However, the Weeds star is aware fans have started a campaign to attach him to Catching Fire in the role of Finnick Odair and he’s attempt to remain humble, but… “I think you just kind of step back, and if it happens, it happens,” Parrish tells MTV of the rumor. “I’m not going to really spend too much time thinking about it, but I’d love to… I’m a fan of the books. I think there’s fantastic actors that would probably be better. So there’s that for getting me a job!” It had previously been reported that three actors – Taylor Kitsch, Garrett Hedlund and Armie Hammer – were the finalists for the character, but the job appears to be wide open. Do you think Parrish would be right for Finnick?

Catching Fire Casting Scoop: Down to Three for Finnick Odair?

We are reportedly down to three for the role of Finnick Odair. With Robert Pattinson (thankfully) out of the running for this key Catching Fire character , E! News claims producers have narrowed their choices down to the following trio: Taylor Kitsch : Beloved Friday Night Lights star who anchored two of the biggest flops in Hollywood history, John Carter and Battleship . Armie Hammer : Oscar nominee and upcoming Lone Ranger opposite Johnny Depp as Tonto. Garrett Hedlund : Starring opposite Kristen Stewart in On the Road . E! also claims The Hunger Games sequel might go with a relative nobody for Finnick, who is a former winner of the story’s annual competition and possesses both a ridiculously amazing body and a cocky personality. Which of these actors would be best suited for the part?

What Do ‘Twilight’ Stars Have Lined Up Before ‘Dawn’?

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and the rest are all keeping busy before the final installment hits theaters in November. By Jocelyn Vena Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/ WireImage With “Breaking Dawn – Part 2” nearly behind them , the stars of the “Twilight Saga” have some busy schedules ahead of the film’s November release for some other movies. Just this week alone, Robert Pattinson picked up two more films, hot off the heels of several other casting updates for his “Twilight” co-stars. It’s almost getting hard to know when and where you’ll see the actors next, so MTV News is rounding it all up in this little guide: Robert Pattinson He’s already banked two intriguing movies: “Cosmopolis,” which hits Cannes this month, and “Bel Ami,” which will be available on VOD Friday (May 4) before going to theaters June 8. But it’s been a busy week for RPattz. He just added two more projects to his docket: the Saddam Hussein thriller “Mission: Blacklist” and “Rover,” in which he’ll be hunted down by Guy Pearce for stealing a car. Kristen Stewart With less than a month until the release of “Snow White and the Huntsman,” the blockbuster will get the “MTV First” treatment on Tuesday, when Stewart and her co-stars will stop by MTV with an exclusive look at the movie. Later this year, that other book-to-film adaptation, “On the Road,” will hit theaters. In it, she plays Garrett Hedlund’s drug-loving teenage bride, Marylou. Stewart has lined up some more interesting projects, including a “micro-cameo” in her mom’s prison movie “K-11.” She’ll also explore the art of (faked) snuff films in the flick “Cali.” Taylor Lautner After leaving the toy flick “Stretch Armstrong,” Lautner recently picked up a completely different kind of movie: He’s set to star alongside Adam Sandler and crew in “Grown Ups 2.” Kellan Lutz He’s got a number of projects that still need to hit the big screen, like “Syrup, “Bumped” and “Java Heat.” But he’s not resting: Lutz just landed the title role in a performance-capture, 3-D take on “Tarzan,” according to The Hollywood Reporter ; Spencer Locke has been locked in to play his Jane. Ashley Greene Although she has several movies set to hit theaters, including this week’s “LOL” with Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore and the very scary “Apparition” out in August, she is also making a name for herself on the small screen. She’s attached to the ABC show “Americana” about real-life fashion designer Robert Soulter. Greene will play an up-and-coming Big Apple fashionista on the soap.

‘American Idol’ Castoff Jeremy Rosado Wants To Win 17 Grammys

‘That would work for me,’ Rosado jokes to MTV News about his awards-filled, post-‘Idol’ plans. By James Montgomery Jeremy Rosado Photo: MTV News Jeremy Rosado wasn’t exactly surprised to hear his name called during last week’s “American Idol” elimination show — telling USA Today he had a “gut feeling” that his time was up — but he was rather shocked to hear “Idol” mentor Jimmy Iovine’s criticisms of his performance … mostly because he didn’t think they were warranted. “I didn’t think that it was as bad as a couple of them were saying; but, you know, Jimmy’s a great guy, and he was hoping for the best … unfortunately I guess to him it didn’t turn out the way he wanted,” Rosado told MTV News. “But, I’m grateful, and I’m grateful to [“Idol” judges] Randy [Jackson] and Steven [Tyler] as well. No matter what happened, there were 112,000 people that auditioned for the show, and praise God, they chose me to be in their top 13, you know? I couldn’t be more grateful.” Of course, Rosado is most grateful to “Idol” judge Jennifer Lopez, who not only seemed to be his biggest supporter on the show, but coined his now ubiquitous nickname: Jer-Bear. And then, after he had been eliminated, well, she helped change his mood considerably. “Jer-Bear, yeah, I think I’m going to try and get it copyrighted or something,” he laughed. “Jennifer gave me a kiss on my check twice, and I got eliminated that day, but she made me feel a little bit better … a lot bit better. And to think someone like her or [last week’s mentor] Mary J. Blige [could] fall in love with my voice, and with me as a person? That doesn’t happen every day, so I’m forever grateful.” And though he’ll be the first to admit that his nerves got the better of him last week — “Not being voted into the top 13 definitely played with my head a lot,” he said — he’s already realizing the benefits that being showcased on “Idol” are pretty great … and he’s looking to take full advantage of them. “I love acting, and singing is definitely my #1 passion; I’m definitely going to continue to sing,” he said. “And hopefully, this is the huge dream, I’m just going to lay it out for you: I’m going to be on a TV show, I’m going to be in a couple movies, I’m going to win an Oscar — this is what I want — I want to win 17 Grammys and, I think that’s good. … That would work for me.” Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.
