Kristen Stewart Will Lie Down in Darkness (Professionally Speaking, of Course!)
Finally, some news about Kristen Stewart that doesn't involve her love life. Vulture reports that the actress has landed the lead role of Peyton Loftis in Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper's adaptation of William Styron's 1951 novel, Lie Down in Darkness. The project — and the role — sure sound like the level of work that will propel Stewart toward that Oscar that I'm counting on her to win. The film is set in 1950s Virginia, and according to the site, Stewart's character's "intense physical beauty makes her the object of her frigid mother's jealous hatred and the target of her father's incestuous, alcoholic lust." Yikes! [Vulture]
