Estadao.com Walter Salles talks about casting the main actors.
"Most
of the cast was invited early in the process, five years ago. Kirsten
Dunst was the first person I met to talk about Camille. Garrett Hedlund
appeared in audition, coming directly from the farm where he lived in
Minnesota, near Fargo, the city where the Coen brothers filmed. He
brought a text about the trip he had made. It was as remarkable as his
test. Sam Riley also did a great test after I've seen Control ,
and I was amazed by his performance as Ian Curtis. Kristen Stewart was
invited almost as soon as Kirsten Dunst, thanks to Gustavo Santaolalla
and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, who had seen the first cut of the film
by Sean Penn, Into the Wild . They said that we could stop looking for
Marylou, because we just saw a 16 years old girl that was perfect for
the role. I remember I had to make a note of Kristen´s name at that
time."

"The difficulties we encountered were mainly due to the complexity of
the project and the need to make the film with a small budget [U.S. $ 25
million]. But the limits have worked in favor of the film." Other items
helped production, as the passion of the actors for the original book. That´s
the case of Kristen Stewart, who lives Marylou. "'On the Road' was one
of her favorite book," says Salles, who directed the star of "Twilight"
with no problem, even in scenes of total nudity. "There is a quality of
freedom in Marylou, a desire for experimentation and Kristen knew well."
Sam Riley, who plays Kerouac's alter ego, Sal Paradise, and
Garrett Hedlund (his friend Dean Moriarty), embarked soon after. But who
was impressive was Viggo Mortensen in the role of William
Burroughs. "He came ready to the set, with the clothes of the character,
the typewriter and the gun he used in 1949. It was an impressive
transformation."
