"Twilight" star Kristen Stewart to play in "Lie Down in Darkness" Southern gothic August 3, 2012 - 11:55 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The "Twilight" actress Kristen Stewart is attached to star in the film adaptation of William Styron's classic slice of Southern gothic, "Lie Down in Darkness," TheWrap said. Scott Cooper, who directed Jeff Bridges to an Oscar in 2009's "Crazy Heart," will slide behind the camera on the indie film. There's no start date for the film, so it's not clear when "Lie Down in Darkness" will hit theaters. Styron's novel centers on a dysfunctional and deeply unhappy Virginia family. If the film goes forward, Stewart will play Peyton Loftis, a suicidal woman who grows increasingly alienated from her emotionally repressive parents and loveless marriage. Vulture, which broke the story, reports that Stewart beat out Jennifer Lawrence ("The Hunger Games") for the splashy role. For the time being, Stewart's schedule is packed. In addition to gearing up for the November release of the final Twilight film "Breaking Dawn -- Part 2," she is set to star in the action comedy "Cali" for Nick Cassavetes. She's also attached to a "Snow White" sequel, although it's not clear when cameras will roll on the fantasy follow up.
