Kristen Stewart Heads To Cali

Kristen Stewart's journey from Twilight screamboat to versatile screen actress has taken her to some interesting places - Walter Salles' upcoming On The Road among them - and she'll be adding the grittier corners of LA to the list. The actress has signed up to play one half of a maverick Valley couple in actioner Cali.

If it sounds like it should be a Columbian cartel thriller in which Stewart chucks people out of helicopters as a surprisingly swarthy drug lord, the reality may be no less exciting. After starring in a fake snuff movie and trousering the proceeds, Stewart's character Mya must return from 'the dead' and join with boyfriend Chris to rescue her sister from a whole welter of bad people back in California.

If that crew of ne'er-do wells - vengeful ex-business partners, maniac porn stars, stoners and an relentless killing machine in a cowboy hat among them - reads like central casting for True Romance 2, writer Michael Diliberti showed a gift for the absurd with his 30 Minutes Or Less script that should make this an interesting pick for Stewart.

Occupying the car park spots marked 'producer' are Voltage Productions, the studio behind The Hurt Locker, and New School Media. The shot is scheduled for later summer so expect a director on board soon.
