Six-pack Kerouac?
Sudbury native Chris Evans, who was in town Saturday night sipping drinks at the Langham Hotel restaurant Bond, has been tapped to play pride-of-Lowell Jack Kerouac in a 2010 film called "Kill Your Darlings." In the film, "Adventureland"'s Jesse Eisenberg will play Allen Ginsberg.
I've seen the best abs of my generation ...
"Kill Your Darlings" is one of two beat poet movies set to come out in '10. "Howl," a biopic of Ginsberg, will star James Franco. Set to play Kerouac in that film is Todd Rotondi, formerly of "As the World Turns."
