As if there isn't enough drama in Kristen Stewart's life right now, ET has learned that The Twilight Saga star may be in the running to star in another drama – only this one's on the big screen.

Stewart was rumored to be attached to the new big-screen project Lie Down in Darkness, according to The Hollywood Reporter, but now a source close to the film's production company tells ET, "While its exciting to see all the interest the project is generating, the film is still in the pre-production process and no offers to cast have been made as of yet."

The film is also in search of a male lead; Oscar winner Colin Firth was at one point attached to the project, but is no longer. Described as a Dickensian and Dostoyevsky-like heavy drama, the film will be an adaptation of a 1951 William Styron novel that charts the rise of a southern family. Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart) will write and direct, with Stewart playing a tragic beauty, the daughter of a drunken patriarch who lusts after one of his two daughters, one beautiful and the other a cripple.

Lie Down in Darkness is not financed and has no start date at this stage.

Why do we care about this progeny of Mr. Ed?

[nohater]

wonder if she is boinking key decision makers to get roles in TV, film, etc. wonder too how many in the entertainment industry she has boinked to get a role.

Some of these actors/actresses get cast in a movie that becomes a block-buster, and it's like they've hit the jackpot.

And sometimes they even have talent!

I'm not so sure about this girl ... I don't even find her affair stories that interesting to read about in the tabloids, and usually I'm all over that stuff (LOL! :D)

"dying to save the relationship. It's the only thing she cares about." is that really true? if it is, then why is she hiding and texting/calling him only? why not go run for him, it should not only in the movies, it should only men who will run for their women, K.Stew(trampire) is the one who made the sin, so she should act and not just hide. are you really in love with him? or is this just an act where during the whole twilight they were in a relationship and when it ends, they will have a stunt for their breakup where they were just really following orders. Anyways, whatever the truth is, if k.stew want to bring back the relationship, she will do what she cant do, exceed boundaries and go to him, find him, do everything, news says that she is doing everything to bring back their relationship? i think not, she has a lot of money, friends, fans, relatives, ask their help, ask forgiveness, reconcile, punish herself, act and do everything for rob, bella is doing it better, but k.stew is not showing any love at all, hiding and just texting/calling. So what if a lot of people hate you now, u made a big mistake, and the reactions are just right, but if you really love him, rob should be the only one in your mind right now and go to him no matter what the media say, people say or your higher ups say. If you will not do this, then most probably ur love is not enough. What you have done is really wrong, so what if you have fights or pains in your relationship, it doesnt mean you should wander to a MARRIED man with TWO KIDS and have fun with momentary fling? are you sure of that? pics and videos shows you are having fun, smiling very natural with the director, kissing intimately, and you were the one who went to him, and even using your own car to fondle with him. What is that about? Did you ever think of Rob at that time? What were you thinking? The evidence doesn't show that you were confused, it shows clearly that you wanted it. Why do this to Rob? I may not be that of a fan between you two but i like twilight. I am a man with a gf, and what you did was a lowblow act, you even denied that there is something wrong when robert asked you. This is not funny anymore, if you want to break up with Rob, just be honest than do this, cheating and not telling anything and one mere public apology wont do that. Other people who even has less love exposure and intensity than the two of you have acted more than what you are doing right now if they did something wrong, because they really loved each other. I hope you read this K.stew, sorry but i want to call u also trampire, i know you will get hurt about this but u know who deserve it, pain is part of life, and u have inflicted that also greatly to Rob. This is just an opinion. I think you should act now before it is really too late than it is now. CMON!

Uh, escape from a mental institution, did ya?

[erasmus111]

The movie is in pre-production, not financed yet, and has no start date. No one has been cast. Why is this a story? Because there was a RUMOR that Kristen Stewart MIGHT be in it?

Hard up for a story, I see.
