But something went wrong in the translation. Salles, a very good director, made such a success of “The Motorcycle Diaries,” that he seemed like a good choice. Francis Ford Coppola tried to do in the 1990s. The saga of its journey to film is a long, storied one. There’s no momentum whatsoever marketing wise.
It almost seems like an afterthought since it won’t be released in the U.S.
In early September, “On the Road” will get a premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. Now it will roll out in spurts around the world. In the four countries where it has played to audiences, “On the Road” has a total box office of just over $4.2 million. has given it a 40% score, with pretty much everyone checking in.

The movie had its worldwide debut back in May at the Cannes Film Festival. It’s not clear what the point was at all. Neither of its big stars–Kristen Stewart and Garrett Hedlund–even showed up for that premiere. But it doesn’t actually open there until October 12th. Indeed, “On the Road” is so screwed up at this point that it had its UK premiere in London three days ago. A movie about being lost in America is lost in distribution. It will open in two dozen more before it finally hits American theaters on December 21, 2012. The Walter Salles directed adaptation of the famed Jack Kerouac classic has already opened in four countries. By the time the film version of the quintessential American novel, “On the Road,” opens in America, it will be the movie’s very last stop.
