Very very long and confusing question*

      A(pic 1)

     B(pic 2)

C (pic3)

     D (pic 4)

     E (pic 5)

     F (pic 6)

      G (pic 7)

     

Q) The person in he pic 1  (A) wrote the book X based on which the person in the pic 5 (E) made the movie of same name X, (E) also directed the classic movie Y based on the life of F (pic 6). 

The author A (pic 1) was a cult figure and was quite popular among beatniks and hippies, infact he along with his group Z went several cross-country trips in his bus B (pic 2). B was painted in what can be described as a Dayglo fashion, according to the group Z these were the trips they took for self-realisation where they experimented with LSD and other psychedelic drugs**. The account of their trips has been vivdly given in a book (C) whose cover is shown in pic (3) and C was written by J,which made him quite a literary star.

The reel-version of (C) is expected to be release this year which will be  directed by K.  This acclaimed director K who has been long associated with beat-generation authors also made the oscar-winning movie based on the life of D(pic 4). D was assassinated in late 70's.

G(pic 7) is the indian director who made the movie L which was the remake of X, L failed at the box -office but G has delivered several hits and is known for different genres of movies. 

Identify A,B,C,D,E,F,G,J,K,L,X,Y,Z. (sorry no indirect hints i can give)
