Kristen Stewart to star in ‘Lie Down in Darkness’?

129 Comments August 2, 2012 by Filed Under: Kristen Stewart

According to Vulture.com, Kristen Stewart has landed the lead role as Peyton Loftis.

Kristen Stewart may have become tabloid fodder in recent days, but the 22-year-old seems decidedly committed to being taken seriously as an actress: Vulture hears exclusively that Stewart has landed the lead role in an indie adaptation of William Styron’s 1951 novel, Lie Down In Darkness. Directed by Crazy Heart helmer Scott Cooper and set in genteel fifties Virginia, Lie Down will have Stewart play Peyton Loftis. As part of a dysfunctional and disintegrating family, Peyton is constantly compared to her crippled sister, Maudie, and her intense physical beauty makes her the object of her frigid mother’s jealous hatred and the target of her father’s incestuous, alcoholic lust. (Stewart will also appear in another fifties-era film, Walter Salles’s On the Road, when it’s released in the U.S. sometime this fall/winter.)

Interesting role. SHE HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED FOR THE ROLE YET. No word on the sequel for Snow White and The Huntsman 2.

    I know right !!!!!!

    I have read many post that Kristen was very passionate about this role. She has wanted this role for a long time. IF she has landed the starring role in this movie, BEAUTIFUL! I have heard nothing but wonderful things about the book. Now as far as SWATH 2, Kristen has already said she will do the film. Further more, it’s not going to bring her bad luck with her personal life. If anything the studio will get a another director, before replacing Kristen as the starring role. Working in Hollywood, especially films is tricky. Studios would rather hire another director than get rid of it’s key role player. The only way I can see them replacing Kristen in SWATH2, is if she were on another film and it was around her timing, than again they would work around her. Kristen’s personal life doesn’t have anything to do with SWATH2. Sorry but I see them replacing the director, before replacing her as Snow White.

    Another thing, stop with all the bashing of Kristen! ALL OF US ARE HUMAN. The sad thing is the media, is going to spin this how they want too. Especially online Gossip sites. There are reports that are saying ” Kristen is banned from the NYC premiere of Robert’s movie!” Those are so not true! Stop feeding into the drama , and see how much it dies down or fades away! Seriously. I really hope she gets this role. She would be BEAUTIFUL in this role.

  • Melanie

    I totally agree !!!!!!!
    It’s a shame that people in this fandom believe what Gossip sites write and then they spread there hate .

  • tiwlighter

    Kristin said she wanted something bad to happen because everything came too easy. Well, now she got her wish. I’m wondering if the title of the movie is right, with KStew, shouldn’t it read “Lay Down in Daylight’? You can’t do a Swath 2 with the director and KStew. That one is dead in the water.

  • Hannah

    If this is your way on trying to make a joke then you have FAILED !!!!!!!

  • Loislane

    Totally agree, any. Movie she on I will watch it.

  • vanquish13

    That would be really interesting to see! They are both talented and beautiful.

  • vanquish13

    Yeap she hasn’t been confirmed for the role. No one has been cast yet. The movie doesn’t have financing. And no offers have been made. Kristen and Jennifer Lawrence are linked the roles because they have said they would be interested. Thats all we know. Everything else is just a rumor.

  • vanquish13

    She is already suffering. Sanders is back with his wife. All I wish is someday one day…Kristen and Rob can be happy whatever path they choose.

  • vanquish13

    I think you’re confused. Kristen didn’t murder anyone. Calm down.

  • Monique/booksaddicted

    Because this thread is full of argument and hate… Cosmopolis… doesn’t have that. I don’t think you can judge.

  • D. Martin

    Guys – I’m reading more and more online where they BOTH are in a lot of pain. It’s upsetting. Please, lets pray for them both to get through this — whatever the outcome.

  • Sammy

    This is the problem do not believe everything you read in Gossip Sites they are just trying to get hits.
    WE DO NOT NO WHAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH TO JUDGE !!!!!!

  • D. Martin

    True. But like I said on another post…the Kristen we’ve known and defended against the haters for years here…is a good person. She nor Rob has been seen since the story broke. If the media sites say she’s remorseful and in pain am I to believe otherwise?

    I was just as shocked and angry at her as anyone else when the story broke. But I choose not to believe the worst of her. That is my choice. I choose to pray for them both.

  • Sammy

    You my friend have a great heart !!!!!
    But I know where Rob and Kristen are at let me tell you !!!
    There have been sightings of Rob going out with his friends and enjoying some fresh air NOT clubbing like some reports have said .
    While Kristen has been training in a gym with her coach for her movie ‘Cali’ I would have told you what gym in L.A because I live right close to it but I do not want any trolls to go and bother her .
    BTW I do not know if you know about the physic who predicted about this whole situation perfectly in 2009 but she has also said they will end up getting back together .
    There is this website who talks about blind vices in Hollywood and they said that ‘someone’ in hollywood is willing to for give and forget with there partner who cheated.
    Everyone said it must be Kris and Rob and I hope it’s true!!!!!

  • D. Martin

    Sammy – Thank you so much!

    If Rob is out enjoying some fresh air then good! I hope the paps never find him ya know? I had read somewhere else that Kristen was spotted at a gym working out for her new movie. That is good too. A psychic predicted this? Do you have a link? I would love to read up on this. Any links you can provide is greatly appreciated.

  • Sammy

    I do not have a link about the psychic because I only saw it the day this whole fiasco happen people on twitter were passing it around . Sorry I really wish I did but I do remember the woman describing what would happen the same way as it did like it was legit the same thing she predicted back in 2009 she then said they would soon get back together.
    But if you wanna learn about the blind vice go to
    “Blind Gossip.com” the article is called ‘Fairytale Forgiveness’ .
    I hope that at least gives you faith . ;)

  • Sammy

    Opps…. I do not know why that took you to Eonline.com ignore that .
    Just type “Blind Gossip.com”

  • D. Martin

  • Sammy

  • loveu1432

    I’m with you one this one. I do not believe in psychic but I freaked out when I looked at the date on the first prediction!! I’m like 2011???!!!!!!! I dont know I’ll hold on it to see if it’s true though

  • D. Martin

    Yeah. Normally…grain of salt…but the date on the first one and where she said 7 months or SO…dead on. That freaked me out.
