Sam Riley mentions Kristen (Glamour UK)

How long did it take to shoot?

It was a long shoot. There was a month of preparation in Montreal, Beatnik Boot Camp it was called. And then it was five months shooting. I think we started in Montreal in the summer, and we needed real snow while Kristen was still available, because she was gonna go off and do the last Twilight movie. Obviously, Walter would only use real snow, and he remembered a road in Patagonia that, at the time of shooting The Motorcycle Diaries, he felt looked too American. So the four of us flew to Argentina. It wasn't in the original schedule - after a week of being in Montreal, we all went down there for five days. Which was surreal, really. And there was plenty of snow. Blizzards! Then we went back to Montreal, then we went to Louisiana, then we were meant to go to Mexico, but there'd been some sort of drug war in the area we were meant to go to, so they moved the whole thing to Phoenix, Arizona, which wasn't on the schedule either. Then we did go to Mexico for a few weeks, then we went to Calgary on the other side of Canada, then it was back to Montreal and we finished in San Francisco.

How much of your own driving did you do?

I don't do as much driving as Garrett. He was amazing - he bought one, a Hudson. So he knew everything about these cars, he was an excellent driver. I needed glasses, which I didn't tell anyone about! And one day they put Eric in the middle of the road with the camera and said, "Drive as fast as you can, and stop as close to the camera as you can." I was sat next to Kristen, and... I don't remember. He was just a dot and a blur, until we got quite close. After the take, Kristen was like, "Wow, you loved that! Dude, you had your face right up against the windscreen!" And I was like, "Yes, because I couldn't see a thing!"

Was it strange that Kristen was in and out of the shoot?

Yeah, but she was there for the first three months. It was strange with the other people. I finished a day after Garrett, but we were there from the very first day of Boot Camp to the very last second of wrap. And on the way, people came and went the whole time. Steve Buscemi was there for a week. Kirsten Dunst would be there, then she'd go, then she'd come back. Same with Viggo Mortensen. We just kept travelling around America, and people would come and work. And I'd never seen America either, really, so that worked for my character, to see all these things for the first time.

Sam Riley mentions Kristen with Shockya

Q: In the movie, you have some racy scenes with Kristen Stewart. What was it like to film those scenes?

SR: It’s a strange thing. I never had to do that much of that sort of thing before, and they’re not the sort of scenes that I relish. There’s not a lot you can do or play, necessarily. It’s like a fight-you hit, you duck. It’s all quite orchestrated.

I was pretty uncomfortable. She was 19, and I was nearly 30 and married. (laughs) We’re mates, but it was weird. You do it as quickly as possible, unlike in real life. You want to try to get it right the first or second time, so you don’t have to do it a lot of times.

My grandparents went to go watch it, and my grandfather’s 90. I said, what do you think of it, and he said, you were very good, but it was a bit racy in some points. He said, it’s not really my generation, and I said, it is your generation, you were there.

Q: Did you know Kristen before you worked together on this film?

SR: No, I don’t come into much contact with stars in my daily life. I’m married to a German one (actress Alexandra Maria Lara).

I knew the Jodie Foster move she was in (‘Panic Room’), but I didn’t realize it was her. I had seen ‘Into the Wild,’ and my younger sister loves the ‘Twilight’ movies. Kristen tried to explain to me the plot for the one that just came out (‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 2′), and it sounded bonkers. (laughs) It’s like, he’s a vampire, and he’s a werewolf. I get pregnant by the vampire, and the child grows at an enormous rate, and comes out almost at toddler age. I thought, this is very unusual for children’s’ entertainment. (laughs) But I didn’t know anyone before starting.

Sam Riley mentions Kristen (Film.Com)

Were you worried at all that Kristen’s personal drama might impact the release of “On the Road” and how people perceived it?

No. I don’t really think that. Um, no. I mean I was more worried for a friend. You know, I don’t really care. That’s difficult to say, really. You say anything about that subject you’re sort of feeding the beast. But no, I didn’t think about that at all.


And an important part of any road trip is the soundtrack. Any key songs you listened to on the shoot?

I was sort of one of the ones that was in charge of the jukebox while we were shooting. I bought a huge collection of bebop songs and things which I always had with me on my phone and would always play while we were driving in between. I didn’t think I would get into it, but I sort of did, actually.

So you went era-appropriate?

Sometimes it helps a little bit. I learned a lot about modern bands through the kids like Kristen and Tom and Garrett, who all listen. My finger’s not on the pulse of what is popular these days.

They all liked, I can’t even remember the names… Arcade Fire, they all like folksy stuff these days. Mumford and Sons. And Kristen, occasionally, a bit of Miley Cyrus, as well. And Garrett liked to play a lot of country as well. Whereas I was still listening to Elvis Costello and The Clash.

"Garrett Hedlund (who plays Dean Moriarty), Kristen Stewart (Marylou), and Sam Riley (Sal Paradise) inside Dean's Hudson, which is practically a character in the film. Garrett actually bought his down Hudson before shooting started. He could literally drive it with no hands, he was so at one with that car. There were times when he was going 100 miles an hour while acting—and, apparently, not looking at the road. But he always kept control."

Kristen & the 'On the Road' cast interview with Metro

So what’s been the most anticipated film this year so far? The Dark Knight Rises, maybe, or The Avengers? For comic books fans, yes. But for a certain audience, it’s On The Road. 

Influential to generations for its trail-blazing portrayal of youthful rebellion amid a growing sex’n’ drugs-fuelled counterculture, a film adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s classic Beat novel has been mooted ever since its 1957 publication. 

From Marlon Brando to Francis Ford Coppola, numerous Hollywood legends have considered bringing the trans-US road trip  of Kerouac’s alter ego, Sal Paradise, and his untameable friend, Dean Moriarty, to screen. Nobody could crack it, until along came Walter Salles. 

‘This is a book that’s had a very deep impact on my life,’ says the Brazilian director, whose 2004 film The Motorcycle Diaries detailed  a similarly formative road trip by  Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara. ‘It’s really about young men in the transition from youth to adulthood, who live in a very conservative society.’ 

The likes of Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Ethan Hawke are just some of the many hip actors who have been attached to the project in the past. Salles, though, wanted lesser-known stars. 

For Sal, he chose Sam Riley. Best known for playing Joy Division singer Ian Curtis in Control, Leeds-born Riley, 32, admits taking on such a role was pretty intimidating. Not least when, at a four-week 

‘Beatnik boot camp’ set up by Salles to educate his young actors, Riley watched footage from earlier auditions. 

‘

Johnny Depp is saying: “I’m glad I didn’t do it. There would be too much pressure playing this part”,’ says Riley. ‘And I’m thinking: “Too much pressure for him? Why are you playing this to us, Walter? What the f*** are you doing?”’ 

Riley came on board late, joining a cast that included Kristen Stewart and Kirsten Dunst. But Tron: Legacy star Garrett Hedlund was attached to the project to play Dean – the book’s version of Beat legend Neal Cassady – for more than three years. Salles remembers being particularly impressed by Hedlund at the audition. ‘He had travelled for three days and three nights on buses to get there,  entering bars, including strip bars, along the way.’

Having feverishly written about his experiences, the actor then read them out. ‘It was as if Cassady had written it,’ says Salles.

Hedlund, 28, related strongly to  the rites-of-passage element of Kerouac’s book.

‘We’re under our parents’ rooftops until we’re 17 or 18. And that’s when your life begins,’ he says. 

‘It’s when you start painting your canvas. And it’s very similar to these guys – Dean is 21, Sal is 24. It’s at a point where everything is possible.

‘I grew up on a farm in Minnesota and the furthest I ever travelled until I was 14 was three hours away from home. My dad said that anybody that lived outside of God’s country was weird. It was maybe his mental trick to say: “Never leave home.”’

For Stewart, taking on the character of Marylou, the girl who comes along for the ride with Dean and Sal, was about doing something more adult after the Twilight franchise. Now 22, she first read On The Road as a teenager.

‘It opened a lot of doors for me at that age,’ she says. ‘It introduced me to a lot of writers. It was the first time I ever ripped through a book and actually liked it. It got me into reading… I think it represents a stage of life that is so full of emotion, passion and conviction. You just haven’t really put your finger on why you feel so much.’

Still, you can philosophise about it all you want. The practical realities of making On The Road meant a gruelling five-month shoot that went from Canada to the US, Mexico and Argentina.

‘No one wants to hear that an  actor’s life is difficult, do they? But it was quite stressful at times,’ says Riley, who – together with Hedlund – saw all manner of stars (Viggo Mortensen, Steve Buscemi, Amy Adams, Elisabeth Moss) come and go in cameo roles.

Hardships aside, it’s easy to see how much it means to the cast to be entrusted with finally bringing this to the screen.

‘To do On The Road right, it needs to be found,’ says Stewart. ‘It needs to be really studied and learned and then forgotten. You need to trust that somehow all of that information is going to be in your bones. That is very free.’ The way she sees it, it meant giving up control: ‘In On The Road, our whole job was to lose ourselves.’

Of course, it helped they had Salles, who even made a documentary, Searching For On The Road, as part of his prep, interviewing real-life figures from the Beat scene,  including Cassady’s wife, Carolyn.

‘It was so inspirational to meet those people that, at that point,  the existence of the feature film ceased to be that important to me,’ he says.

Thankfully, he – and his cast – got back on the right road.

Sam Riley mentions Kristen (ShortList)

Did Kristen Stewart attract a lot of attention?

Once, we arrived in this little airport and I walked out first, and there were two little old dudes with cameras, and I thought, “F*ckin’ ’ell, it must be slim pickings being a paparazzi here. This is their payday!” They were taking photos of me, and I could see out the corner of my eye Kristen going out the door, into the car and f*cking off. One of them came up to me with a piece of paper, and went [in poor Argentinian accent], “Christian Stewart?” and I went, “No [points at his name], I’m this one, that one’s just walked off!”

Any other incidents?

Some kids found out where the hotel was. They were crossing a river to stand outside the window, and when I opened the curtains, they were like,”Kristy! Kristy!” all night. It was mental. And when we got back to the airport, her bodyguard said, “We’re going to put the producers in the car they think is her car, and drop them off…” And we had to run through the airport, and I saw how aggressive some of these photographers can be. It’s a strange job to chase a 20-year-old girl around…

Is she used to the attention?

She deals with it well. I’d have a caution for thumping them by now if they followed me around like that.

Sam Riley & Garrett Hedlund mention Kristen in Who magazine (Australia)

You have a very intimate scene together with Kristen Stewart. Are those scenes awkward to film?

Riley: It always is, for me, anyway. Everyone always says, "Yeah, I'm free, I like showing my soul and baring my blah blah blah." but in the moment, that doesn't come across with most people. [Laughs] It's just actor talk, generally speaking. Kristen was very young at the time, I was 10 years older than her. So you try to find the funny side of it and you try to do it right the first time!

Hedlund: I don't know any other way but professionally. Every one of those scenes, as a fan of Kerouac and the book, feel so holy to me, so you just kind of show up and do it.

Sam Riley mentions Kristen (Scotsman)

“Kristen was hired before Twilight I think but it took that long for this film to come to fruition. Before that she’d worked with Jodie Foster, Sean Penn had chosen her, a lot of people with a lot of knowledge of the business had hired her for the actress she is.

With Garrett [Hedlund] as well, the system at the studio tends to mean only certain types of film are made, which then pigeonholes actors as eye-candy. But it’s not true. They [Stewart and Hedlund] don’t have anything to prove to their colleagues but they have something to prove to elements of the media or the industry that pigeonholes them. I think Kristen is great in the film.”

Sam Riley mentions Kristen

Over the subsequent six months they properly took to the highway. "Walter wanted us to be as bonded as possible. We had to wrap Kristen's stuff in the first three months so we were flying all over the place to get the right weather," Riley recalls. "We went down to Patagonia for four days for the snow, and then Louisiana, 100% humidity, then Arizona, then Mexico, then Calgary, then we finished in San Francisco… "

Sam Riley talks about Kristen with British Vogue

SAM RILEY has offered high praise for his 'On The Road' co-star and Balenciaga muse Kristen Stewart.

"I'd never met her before and she's a wonderful actress," Riley told us at the film's London premiere last night. "It was wonderful to have her around. It was such a boyish community, it was really nice to have her there."

"She, for someone so young, is capable at tapping into herself much better than I would have been able to at that age," he said.
