Kristen Stewart takes the lead in Lie Down in Darkness
The actress will play Peyton Loftis, a young woman at the center of a dysfunctional family in 1950s Virginia. Peyton's beauty has caused her mother to become jealous and hateful towards her, while the woman's alcoholic father lusts after her. She also has a crippled sister named Maudie. It is said that the production was eyeing Jennifer Lawrence, although she will be busy shooting The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and X-Men: Days of Future Past back-to-back.
The project has been in development for years under producer Jeff Sharp (A Home at the End of the World, Proof). It isn't known if a screenwriter is attached to adapt the novel, or when production may begin.
Lie Down in Darkness is in development and stars Kristen Stewart. The film is directed by Scott Cooper.

@thedude1 She is not unattractive, but she's not approaching my definition of beautiful in any way nor do I think she's anywhere near "classically" beautiful. There is also no way you're going to convince me that anyone thinks she is the "fairest of them all" in a land that includes Charlize Theron. Throw in the fact that she's played essentially the same character in every movie I've seen her in and she really does nothing for me.

I mean she only looks like a 16 year old boy who tries to look like a chick......if you're into that sort of thing. And a good actress? Ya if ur into the same depressed, emo, wooden kinda characters with issues she can only play.

@nburgmei She is very beautiful that is why. Maybe not the most beautiful woman in Hollywood but still beautiful.

@nburgmei - THANK YOU! That's what I was thinking. First Snow White and now this, Hollywood keeps pushing this her as the Beauty, but in my opinion there are a lot of better looking actresses for these roles.
