I wonder when we can expect a release? Hopefully towards the end of this year.
Do you have any talents?
Well, I'm an Alcoholic.
It was finally confirmed. I wonder if Kammerer will have a big part in the film of be killed off right away? I hope not. Hall is too good to waste.
shareI really don't know how big a role Hall will have. Haven't seen the script but would be interested in reading it.

Well Burroughs knew Kammerer and even though Carr made it seem like Kammerer was just a stalker there was more to it then that, they were at least drinking buddies.
shareYes, yes indeed. I love Daniel, but I am also looking forward to the rest of the casts performances as well as Dans. I cannot wait to see how well they make this movie.

a naughty part of me wishes Tom Felton was cast as Lucien Carr....
share I wouldn't mind that myself honestly, but thats ok, they would more then likely be in costume and not themselves. I hear Dan might get a jewfro for the movie.
"Chill broseph, I like Mountain Dew and big butts!” DanRad
a jewfro?!? no no please,hair and make-up people, just his hair as gorgeous as usual!!
shareBurrough's did seem to feel like either Carr was an incredible prick tease or Kammerer was really delusional. It almost seemed like Carr was possibly running away from Kammerer because he was actually afraid he was gay but didn't want to be. Did Carr kill the man he loved?
shareThis cast is truly brilliant, can't wait for the promo and the actual movie!
shareThey start filming the week after next, I believe! I really hope this gets a release this year.
Do you have any talents?
Well, I'm an Alcoholic.
I know I am excited. I wish Daniel would stop being all mysterious with his projects coming up. He said he has looksed through many scripts, but wont tell us what he is up to next and I just can't wait.

We all know of Alan Ginsberg...I'll be a little surprised if his part is very large, in this film.
shareThe script is out there and he has a very large part, he's basically the lead.

Really, because when I read And The Hippos Were Boiled In Their Tanks. Burroughs and Kerouac changed everyone's name but from what I could make out, Ginsberg was not with them all that much.
When I had first read about the story, many years ago, I was under the impression that Ginsberg actually helped Carr get rid of the body but in the last few months...it seems that Kerouac was more Carr's partner in crime...so I assumed my memory was wrong.
The film is more focused on Ginsberg when he first met Carr, then fell in love with him. The murder is in there of course (it threads through the whole thing), but Kerouac doesn't feature a huge amount and Burroughs (from what I recall) is barely in it.

Where could I find the script? I'm a Michael C. Hall fan, so I am more interested in Kammerer. I didn't remember that Ginsberg had a crush on Carr...I guess he was always a sucker for a pretty face.
In the book it seemed like Burrough's thought Carr was nothing but trouble.
Just search "Kill Your Darlings John Krokidas script", should bring it up.

Didn't find it. I looked at simply scripts...nothing.
shareI finally found it, I have been looking all day.
Here is the link for it: http://www.sendspace.com/file/b1dn2x (click on the blue box that says download from sendspace,it's free so no worries)

There was another film called Kill Your Darlings...I think this might be it.
I wasn't sure why the screenwriter went with the name Kill Your Darlings, since this was a very recent film.
No this is not to the other KYD film. this script is for the 2013 film because it is written by John Krokidas, Austin Bunn. John Krokidas will direct this new one. The summarys are different aswell for the 2006 one is about one writer who goes on a road trip with a few other people and it's supposed to be a little comicial. This one is a thriller about 3 writers and the murder of David Kammerer.

thanks so much for posting the script link, bananas. Shall definitely try to get round to reading it soon.
Do you have any talents?
Well, I'm an Alcoholic.
No problem. It certaintly is a really good read. Though honestly some things went a little over my head the first time reading them I had to back track and read them again, but I still liked it a lot.
"Chill broseph, I like Mountain Dew and big butts!” DanRad
I agree the casting for this film is inspired.
The only actor who looks questionable to me is Ben Foster as Burroughs but who knows? He could end up being the best of the bunch.
http://www.kerouac.com/blog/2012/04/first-look-kill-your-darlings/
Did you watch that video of the director talking about the movie. He talks about how Ben foster started out in Character when the director called him about the part. Not defending him, don't really know much about Ben Foster. Like you said he could turn out MVP....
<3MICHELLE<3
No, I didn't see the video of the director. Is it posted in this forum? I'll look for it and watch it tomorrow.
shareNo it was posted on the Radcliffe board, but here it is; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUsg3Rl_tYY&feature=youtube_gdata_ player

Thanks for the link. So Ben Foster "nails" his role as Burroughs? Happy to hear I'm wrong about Foster.
The director sounded excited when the casting was done and the actors immediately formed a camaraderie. It will be good for the movie since those Beat guys formed a tight bond.
OMG I just read the script,this is oscar material !!!Actors have to pull this out the best the could Holy *beep* I'm just amazed 2 hours of reading it....!!
shareOMG I just read the script,this is oscar material !!!
I was with mouth opened at the end ,and i was like "What the *beep* did I just read" I think the blowjob thing in the script is necessary ,the poems are beautiful i wasn't really interested in this even me as fan of Daniel but when i read it i thought it was the most beautiful thing i read.
^ this exactly. It's a little gritty and because of some of it's themes people might get their panties all in a bunch but it is pretty deep and interesting. I hope it turns out well, because they could mess it up within a heart beat. I cannot wait untill they start filming this next week or so and we start getting pictures from set to see where they are going with it. This is going to be exciting.

First Thought,Best Thought ;)
shareThis is a great article and it makes it seem like Kammerer was a very interesting, educated and charasmatic person. How could his part be limited to the idea of some old queen with a crush? I hope the screenplay is more honest about him. Otherwise...it won't be fair. Carr should be shown as the murderer, he was.

So Ginsberg is the main character? I know he was really young. It will be interesting to see how Daniel plays him. The murder took place in summer, I think. Since I haven't seen the script, I don't know when they pick up the story or if they do it in flash backs? Anyway, interesting people and a sad story. I still believe Carr was simply a sociopath and killed Kammerer because he was angry with him.
shareI believe Ginsberg is meant to be about 18 in the film. I haven't had a chance to read the script yet, been too busy, but will try to soon.
Do you have any talents?
Well, I'm an Alcoholic.
Yes he's the main character. Carr isn't far behind though.
It starts with the murder and Ginsberg visting Carr in prison, then goes back to just before Ginsberg went to Columbia Uni.

Some interesting notes on the casting for KYD. Seems DeHaan really knocked it out of the ballpark-
http://movies.yahoo.com/news/sex-murder-daniel-radcliffe-kill-darlings -sundance-031755548.html
"It is getting so hard in the studio culture to take a chance on voices that are unique, to tell stories that you haven't seen a million times before," said director John Krokidas after the screening, thanking his benefactor, investor Michael Benaroya.
Benaroya, who fully financed the film, is one of the indie world's latest wealthy young bucks willing to take a chance on a risky story. But even on a tight 24-day shoot, the high-end cast was on board quickly, including Ben Foster as Burroughs and Jack Huston as Kerouac.
The project started with Radcliffe envisioned as the young Ginsberg. DeHaan ("Lincoln," HBO's "In Treatment") landed the part within five minutes of his audition, Radcliffe said. "No one else had a chance" after that, he observed.
Hall said he auditioned and then, "I looked the director in the eye, and I said, 'Don't be an idiot, give me this part.'"
