WATCH: Kristen Stewart Talks About ?The Honor? Of Walter Salles? ?On The Road? & Her Character?s Hungry Heart

Kristen Stewart says it was director Walter Salles' passion for On The Road  that inspired her to sign on for the film. At the New York premiere for the film, the actress, who plays free-spirited Marylou  (a character based on Beat icon Neal Cassady's onetime wife LuAnne Henderson), Stewart told me she was impressed by the immersive research that Salles did ? including a 2011 documentary called Searching for On The Road ? in preparation for adapting Jack Kerouac's novel for the screen. "There's an honor to this story and to the project that is not typical in our business," Stewart said.

Salles is lucky to have her riding shotgun, too.  Hollywood has been trying to turn  On the Road into a movie since the year it was published, 1957, and Stewart's immense star power was crucial to getting the job done.

Salles also talked to me at the premiere as did cast members Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund and Kirsten Dunst and screenwriter Jose Rivera. It was fun to congratulate him for getting top billing on the movie poster ? a rare thing indeed for writers in Hollywood.

WATCH: Ewan McGregor & Naomi Watts Talking About Preparing For ?The Impossible?

Golden Globe nominees Naomi Watts  and Ewan McGregor turned out for a special screening of their epic tearjerker The Impossible and talked to me about how they summoned the emotional wherewithal to play a couple whose family is torn apart by a tsunami.

The picture's director, J.A.Bayona also attended and told me he had no qualms about casting a Scottish and an Australian actor to play the real-life Spanish couple on which the harrowing story is based. Bayona pointed out that the film never clarifies the couple's nationality. Besides, the actual  husband and wife who inspired the story were on the carpet and they were clearly supportive of the film.
