Jack Kerouac's "On the Road," the classic novel of the Beat Generation, is coming to the big screen.

The men behind "The Motorcycle Diaries" — director Walter Salles and screenwriter Jose Rivera — are working on a script for producer Francis Ford Coppola, FoxNews.com's Roger Friedman reports.

Billy Crudup is set to star as legendary speed freak Neal Cassady, with Scarlett Johannson or Chloe Sevigny being talked about as Kerouac's girlfriend, Joyce Johnson.
