Kristen Stewart took a very different direction from her “Twilight” stardom in her latest offering. “On The Road” is based on Jack Kerouac’s novel of the same name and has just debuted with its worldwide premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Today, we’ve got two clips from the film for you to check out, starring Sam Riley, Kirsten Dunst, Kristen Stewart, and Garrett Hedlund.

In the first clip we see Sal Paradise (Sam Riley) in an encounter with Camille (Kirsten Dunst) at a simple cafe. The scene is far removed from New York City and she talks him into dancing. In the second clip we see Sal chatting it up with Marylou (Kristen Stewart) while driving down the road. She’s discussing her future and the desire for a normal life when Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund) pops up from the back seat with an idea for the trio. Check out the two clips below and let us know what you think in the comments!

Official Synopsis: Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Walter Salles and based on the iconic novel by Jack Kerouac, “On The Road” tells the provocative story of Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), a young writer whose life is shaken and ultimately redefined by the arrival of Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund), a free-spirited, fearless, fast talking Westerner and his girl, Marylou (Kristen Stewart).
.
Traveling cross-country, Sal and Dean venture out on a personal quest for freedom from the conformity and conservatism engulfing them in search of the unknown, themselves, and the pursuit of “it” — the pure essence of experience.
.
Seeking unchartered terrain and the last American frontier, the duo encounter an eclectic mix of men and women — Bull (Viggo Mortensen), Camille (Kirsten Dunst), Carlo (Tom Sturridge), Jane (Amy Adams), Terry (Alice Braga), Galatéa (Elisabeth Moss) – each impacting their journey indelibly.
