- LIE DOWN IN DARKNESS
 |
| Kristen Stewart |
Kristen Stewart has landed the lead in director Scott
Cooper’s (Crazy Heart) adaptation of the William Styron novel Lie Down in
Darkness.
The story takes place in 1950s Virginia and centers on
Peyton Loftis, a young girl whose “intense physical beauty makes her the object
of her frigid mother’s jealous hatred and the target of her father’s
incestuous, alcoholic lust.”
The role was covteted by both Stewart and Jennifer Lawrence,
but as the latter is tied down to filming The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and
the X-Men: First Class sequel for the forseeable future, Vulture reports that
Stewart won the role.
Stewart is next slated to shoot the gritty actioner
Cali. She also has the possible sequel
to Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman, but that might be a little awkward,
erhm!
