On the Road co-stars Kristen Stewart and Garrett Hedlund join Sam Riley for a moody cover of French magazine M, which is due to hit newsstands on May 19, with a special section dedicated to the Cannes film festival.
Update: Scans from the magazine have been added, thanks to kinopoisk.
A week before it premieres in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, On The Road has been acquired by AMC Networks. Picking up all U.S. rights to Walter Sallies’ adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s Beat Generation classic, AMC Networks announced that its distribution labels IFC Films and Sundance Selects will release the film later this fall.
With cameras set to roll this summer, Maleficent is moving fast, and after adding Sharlto Copley last week, it has bolstered the cast with some more, mostly British names.
THR reports that Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake, Alice In Wonderland), Miranda Richardson (legend, you should already know), Sam Riley (Control, On The Road), Lesley Manville (Another Year) and Kenneth Cranham (Made In Dagenham, Valkyrie) have all come aboard the Angelina Jolie fairy tale vehicle. The live-action film will explore the origins of the evil fairy Maleficent and what led her to curse Princess Aurora in Disney’s animated classic Sleeping Beauty. And though her name seems to have appearing/disappearing in reports from the trades on the movie, it looks like Elle Fanning is on board, so there you go. So yes, it’s another revisionist fairy tale movie, but this cast isn’t one to sneeze at.
Mike Leigh veterans Staunton and Manville will pair up to play pixies Knotgrass and Flittle, who care for Aurora. Richardson will play Maleficent’s aunt Queen Ella, who doesn’t particularly care for her niece, while the boys Cranham and Riley will play, respectively, a human king who plots to conquer the fairy kingdom and Diaval, a raven who can change into human form, and is Maleficent’s right hand man. So yeah, sounds like this one will be epic in scope and have a shitload of special effects.
That’s probably why we’re not going to see the movie until March 14, 2014. But that will give plenty of time to first time director/Oscar winning production designer Robert Stromberg to get it right.
As expected, On the Road was just announced as one of the films showing In Competition at Cannes this year! Hopefully this means that Sam with spotted be on the red carpet alongside his co-stars Garrett Hedlund and Kirsten Dunst. The 65th Cannes Film Festival will be taking place from 16 – 27 May.
Sam’s solo poster for On the Road has finally been released! Check it out in the gallery. Also, the first poster for Byzantium has been released online, although it doesn’t feature Sam. Check that out here. Enjoy!
Happy Easter everyone! Just a little update today – I have just replaced all the images from Sam’s last two public appearances (the Rubbel Die Katz Berlin Premiere and 24th European Film Awards) with HQ versions, and have also added a few small images from February 13, when Alexandra was awarded the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres medal during the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival. Enjoy!
As previously posted, the first official trailer for On the Road was released via Facebook last night, and has since started circulating the web. Screen captures of Sam Riley as Sal Paradise have been added to the gallery. Enjoy!
