Here's one that somehow slipped under my radar: Neal Cassady, the movie. Scheduled for release at some point in 2007. From the IMDB description:
From the bars of Denver to the Steel Mills of Utah to the avant-garde parties of Manhattan, across a nation whose heart is calling for a role-model, a leader, a hero... Neal Cassady's on the road again, and all his old pals are there with him--Jack Kerouac, Ken Kesey, The Merry Pranksters. They're searching for Neal's long-lost father, who holds the key to the great unwritten American novel. But in the end it's Neal alone, and in the rear-view fast-approaching are cops, groupies and the dark chimera of his own vanity.
Blech!
I mean, I'd love a good Neal Cassady movie ... but this isn't looking good.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking, too.
