ShockYa: Like with many generations contending with the devastation of the aftermath of war, and struggling to redefine their place in society, the Beat Generation was no different in the late 1940s during the aftermath of World War II. Writer Jack Kerouac realistically and shockingly showed the liberation and experimentation of young adults during that time in his critically acclaimed 1957 novel, ‘On the Road.’ The book’s themes of the younger generation questioning taboos while fighting their inner struggles is emotionally shown in the new adventure drama film of the same name, which is set to start its limited theatrical release on Friday.

CinemaBlend: There are many classic American works of literature whose subject matters lend themselves to movie adaptations. On The Road is definitely not one of them. Partially populated by transient supporting characters and paced by rambling journeys with little more than vague, easily altered itineraries, On The Road is, even to its biggest fans, a bit of a hot mess. There’s really no way to reign the material into a coherent structure without altering the hungry and aggressive spirit Jack Kerouac breathed into the work, and since that’s kind of the whole point, making a good, neat adaptation is impossible.
ShockYa: What was your favorite part of this role?
Sam Riley: That’s difficult, because it was such an honor, as well as being very intimidating. I worked with a lifetime’s worth of great actors in one film. Meeting Garrett, and becoming friends with him, was great, but the whole thing was pretty unusual.
