Amongst all the drama of late, Kristen Stewart has landed a new, lead role in the upcoming movie "Lie Down in Darkness", based upon the novel of the same name originally written by William Styron in 1951.The book to movie adaptation will be brought to life by Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart).
Both the Twilight star and The Hunger Games lead girl, Jennifer Lawrence, were both gunning for the same lead role to play Peyton Loftis in the movie.
Kristen Stewart said in the June issue of ELLE magazine " I want to play Peyton more than anything I can possibly taste or touch in my life. I want to play her so bad." Kristen went on to say "There's a script adaptation I've read, and it's good."
The original book in which the film is based upon is about a dysfunctional Virginian family, with the central focus of the funeral of Peyton Loftis who commits suicide. The story about Peyton in the book is told by the flashbacks of the other characters.
Well done Kristen Stewart, the role is well deserved!
