“Me and Dylan are writing a movie,” Stewart revealed. “It’s a stoner girl comedy, and it’s really f—ing stupid. I think you’ll like it.”
What is Kristen Stewart directing?
Last year, it was confirmed that Stewart is set to direct The Chronology of Water, a live-action adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch’s 2017 memoir of the same name. The film will star Imogen Poots, and is expected to follow a young woman who finds her voice through the written word and her salvation as a swimmer – ultimately becoming a triumphant teacher, mother and a singular modern writer.
“Lidia’s memoir honors corporeal experience, radically,” Stewart told Deadline, who first reported the casting. “To make that experience physical feels vital to me and what this impulse means … is that it absolutely must be a film. This project has been cooking for five years with the help of Scott Free, whom I could not be more privileged to have as partners and friends. Imogen Poots will carry this movie and the staggering weight of Lidia’s life. She can hold it. I am beyond lucky to have her.”
“Ridley and I are delighted to be working with Kristen again, this time on her feature directorial debut, adapted from Lidia Yuknavitch’s extraordinary memoir,” said Pruss. “Just as we have seen in Kristen’s short films as a director, I have no doubt that she will bring that same level of style, uniqueness and fearless emotionality to The Chronology of Water. Furthermore, to have the the opportunity to work with Imogen — who is tailor-made for the lead role — is incredibly exciting. The combination of their talents will no doubt produce something exquisite for film audiences worldwide.”
