First Look at Kristen Stewart and Garrett Hedlund in On the Road

Kristen Stewart has caught a lot of flack on the Internet lately, but that doesn't mean Hollywood casting directors aren't falling over themselves to meet with her for various high-profile projects. That might ruffle some feathers (sorry, fanboys!), but to Stewart's credit, she has been quite picky with her non-Twilight selections; you wouldn't necessarily expect a teen queen to have films like Adventureland, Welcome to the Rileys and The Runaways on her resume. Stewart continues her star-shunning assault later this year in On the Road -- opposite Garrett Hedlund (as Dean Moriarty) and Sam Riley (as Sal Paradise) -- and the first stills from the Walter Salles film have arrived. Click ahead for a look, ya beatnik.

If you're wondering why those pics looks so good -- and you should be -- it's probably because Eric Gautier (The Motorcycle Diaries, Summer Hours, Into the Wild) is Salles' cinematographer on the film. Dare I say, get excited?
