The film will revolve around the relationship between Allen, Jack Kerouac, and Lucien Carr – who is most notoriously known for his 1944 murder of his lover David Kammerer and for sparking the Beat Revolution.

Sources report that Elizabeth Olsen has recently been cast to play the girlfriend of Jack Kerouac – played by Jack Huston. Also joining the cast is Dane DeHaan who will play Lucien Carr, a classmate of Dan’s character for whom he develops romantic feelings for.

Filming is set to begin in New York this March. No release date is set at this time.
