Kill Your Darlings adds cast members

Friends, the cast of Kill Your Darlings, based on the true-life murder described in the novel And The Hippos Were Boiled In Their Tanks by Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs, continues to impress. Now they've added Michael C. Hall (Dexter), Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer), and Jennifer Jason Leigh (Weeds). Click here for more details.

We already reported on the other cast members, including Jack Huston as Kerouac, an excellent casting decision (he plays Richard on Boardwalk Empire).

Between this and On The Road and Big Sur, it promises to be a big movie year for beat fans!

Reviews of The Beat Handbook

Gerald Nicosia, author of the acclaimed Kerouac biography Memory Babe, said The Beat Handbook is "full of Jack's heart."

Jared Randall, author of the excellent book of poetry, Apocryphal Road Code, said this about The Beat Handbook: "Sometimes a book comes along at just the right time. In my wandering pack of experiences, I find they often do. Enter The Beat Handbook by Rick Dale."

Kenneth Morris, Kerouacian extraordinaire, said this:
"I just finished reading Rick Dale's beautiful utterance and call to action of Kerouac mind-set and zen sensibilities. It made me laugh and reflect on my own life and road I have naturally grooved into after absorbing the Kerouac canon. The road less traveled always had my name on it. And that has made all the difference. The Beat Handbook 100 Days of Kerouactions reaffirms the attitudes and ideology that made the Beats and Kerouac the important men of ideas that America (and the world) thirsted for, needed, and swallowed whole. Beautiful, absorbing, Top Ten whipsmart from my articulate, tender-hearted friend and fellow traveler. Highly recommended."
