Kristen Stewart is now casting for her directorial debut: the adaptation of the memoir, The Chronology of Water.
The Chronology of Water is a tale of survival that navigates and chronicles addiction, abuse, and the devastating loss of a stillborn child.
The actor spoke about the film’s current status on the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast.
“We’re casting right now, we’ve been putting together and have been thinking about this for a really long time. I’m so stoked. It’s taken the time it’s needed. Some of these take a decade to put together. I just jump every gun in my life and start talking about stuff before they’re really relevant, but it’s more relevant than ever. Now we’re casting the movie. We’re finding our Lidia Yuknavitch.”
Coming of Age
Stewart also revealed that this is a really small movie. And that she wanted to be cast in it when she was younger. Further, talking about the rumour of her Alfred Hitchcock-like appearance in the film, she mentions that “there’s actually no part for me”. Though she showed interest in playing the role of Lydia’s older sister, she probably won’t.
The actor spoke to Vanity Fair about her impression of the memoir.
“The way [Yuknavitch] talks about having a body, and the shame of having that. The way that she’s really dirty, embarrassing, weird, gross, a girl. It was a coming-of-age story I haven’t seen yet … I feel like I started reading her stuff, and she was articulating things that I’m like, ‘Dude, I didn’t have the words for that, but thank you.'”
For the moment, Stewart can be seen in Spencer, based on the life of Princess Diana. The cast of the movie includes Timothy Spall as Equerry Major Alistair Gregory, Sean Harris as Darren McGrady, Jack Farthing as Charles, Prince of Wales, Freddie Spry as Prince Harry, Jack Nielen as Prince William, Stella Gonet as Queen Elizabeth II, and many more.
