Kristen Stewart has found a role that won’t involve any awkward off-set drama. At least we hope. The actress has reportedly beaten out Jennifer Lawrence for the lead in Lie Down In Darkness , a big screen version of William Styron’s 1951 novel. Set in that same decade, the story will find Stewart portraying Peyton Loftis, a member of a dysfunctional family who becomes the target of her mother’s jealous hatred and her father’s alcoholic, incestuous lust. Ewwww. Other movie news is a lot more awkward for Stewart these days: She’s schedule to promote Breaking Dawn Part 2 in the fall… alongside a young man who is currently a mess as a result of her cheating actions. She’s also attached to a Snow White and the Huntsman sequel… possibly opposite a director with whom she engaged in an affair and who has since been barred from contact with Stewart . It should be interesting to note the career arc of Kristen going forward. How much will this sordid deed affect her on-screen future? It’s early, but if this role nabbing is any indication, the answer is a resounding: in no way at all.
