JESSICA LANGE needs to get out more. Filmmaking is often "drudgery," the two time Oscar winner told TIME. "You're held prisoner in your trailer, and then you kinda drag yourself over to the set." Not so with her spunky new road movie, Bonneville, which premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Her character hijacks two pals (KATHY BATES and, in the backseat, JOAN ALLEN) in a '66 Bonneville as she drives her husband's ashes to California to be buried next to his first wife.

Escapees from city office jobs, for six months they've carted around wares (Wagstaffe peddles a flame-ignition kit called Light My Fire) to markets, trade shows and country fairs. "We wanted to see the country and find an affordable place to buy property and settle down," O'Brien says. "Instead of drawing on our savings, we thought it would be a way of paying our own way."
