The Twilight Saga star is also expected to produce the flick, which is slated to begin filming in late summer.

'Kristen is a talented and dynamic actor, with a proven box office draw,' Voltage's Craig J. Flores tells Variety.

He continues, 'Her role in Cali will be edgy and sexy. It will no doubt push the envelope on the public's view of Kristen's wide-ranging abilities. Voltage is thrilled to have her as a partner on this fantastic film.'

Stewart will next be seen, of course, in Snow White and the Huntsman, which opens June 1.

Are you excited for Stewart's new film role?

  • Oh gosh! :

  • no

  • LOVE THE WAY SHE COMBINES INDIES WITH BIG BUDGET MOVIES AND HOW WELL THOUGHT HER CHOICES ARE. SHE'S HERE TO STAY DEFINITELY WITH CALI, TWO OTHER SNOW WHITE AND MAYBE AKIRA SOO WE'RE GONNA SEE A LOT OF HER AND I LOVE IT!

  • OMG this is amazing So proud of Kristen she has acomplished so much for her age ! she truly is an incredible young woman !

  • Oh wow! This looks like an edgy film with a lot of great possibilities. Good for Kristen. I love how her career is really on fire I just don't know how in the world she is going to manage filming in late summer! Her schedule is insane with BD2, OTR and Balenciaga.

  • She will PRODUCE it too! Awesome!

  • I'm really, really hoping she does Akira. I would love to see her in that.

  • so exited!!!

  • Me too!I'm so happy for her!

  • Me too'

  • Another one to be proud of !!!

  • SO ROB STILL HAS NOTHING. NICE.

  • YESSSSSS SUPER EXCITED LOVE YOU KRISTEN <3

  • Soon you will know lol same site that originally posted this info also said that Rob is in plans to work with Cronenberg again

  • so proud of her, i love her soooooo much

  • Hopefully it's correct then! It's be nice to see Rob and Cronenberg do two different films!

  • I'm not into the Twilight movies, nor do I really like her in them, but once I saw all the other things she's been in I've been in love with her. Can't wait to see all her upcoming films!

  • I was just saying yesterday how much I couldn't wait to find out her next movie!!! See'dreams do come true!!! How exciting! Go Kristen Go!

  • Oh'today is Kristen Overload! We've been very dry on the Kristen news front'so today is like Kristmas!!! lol! Sorry'lame joke, but w/e. Still very excited!

  • My understanding is that this movie has some comedy in it and I'm thinking KS is going to fail in the comedy arena. Her timing is suspect in drama. Bad timing in comedy is death.

  • I agree.

  • He has Kristen and I don't know why it needs to be a competition.

  • If it has a bit of comedy I think Kristen can pull it off. She did pretty well at the comedic times in Zathura. And plus she is growing as an actor so we have to give her a chance before just saying she will fail. It's not nice at all to just say someone will fail at something.

  • Way to gloss over what the movie is really about, GC. KS plays a porno 'actress' who makes a snuff film and runs off with the money and her boyfriend. She lets everyone think she's dead until her sister gets in trouble. I can't understand why she gravitates to these deviant, low life parts. I guess it's another character she envies. And she's putting her own money into this? I guess she want to seal her fate as never being a role model for young girls. Bella is a bad enough example, but this one is even worse.

  • good news for her..i love indie movies..am glad she didnt forsake them..after all Twilight made her a star and found rob for her'iam sure in her heart..Twilight will always be dear to her'and her fans..

  • I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE, OMG, THIS MOVIE WILL BE LIKE' PERFECT, I'M ABSOLUTILY SURE OF THIS *''''* I'M SO PROUD OF KRISTEN

  • I was thinking the same thing. As for 'proven box office draw' her non-Twilight moviies have not put up big numbers at the box office. If 'Snow White and the Huntsman' does, then you can say that.

  • Aquarius64 back at it again I see? I know you hate Kristen from your previous posts'but I ask..what are you doing here then? And Kristen's indies have done well considering the small releases they had. Thus 'proven box office draw'. And they have done well internationally because us fans in countries where these indies don't get released try to get the DVDs.

  • Kristen'. wth? You're Mega now. Go Big or Fall off the face of earth for all I care. I'm rooting for you tho. Big Fan, just wish you'd take another snow white (big) risk movie & hit the big ones. Best of Luck. XO

  • Oh lord, go jump off a bridge already. How does the films that she chooses affect you in any way shape or form? It doesn't. She can choose whatever films she wants to. She is the actress, not you. If you don't want to see the movie then don't. It won't hurt her any. She is doing what she wants to do.

  • Noooo! 30 Minutes or Less was so goddamn awful and this sounds like just another crazy on-the-run action/comedy thing.

  • Kristen is going to be awesome!!!!!!

  • Give me a break. I'm not really worried about hurting KS's feelings since I don't know her and I doubt she cares what people write on these sites. It's just an opinion of her ability to do a comedy, not a slam on her as a human being. Lighten up.

  • OMGGGGGGGG THAT IS SOOOOOOOOO FACKING COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL KRIS YOU ARE THE BEST IN EVERYTHING I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • It is an opinion'but you did say she would fail. And hence my response/opinion. I don't need to lighten up.

  • Very excited that she's going to be producing. Kristen has it all, she's beautiful, rich, loving family, friends and a rather handsome boyfriend, Robert Pattinson. Fuck my life, lol.

  • A-FUCKING-MEN'.She plays the same characters in all her movies. Slutty/Boyish/Emo

  • She's playing a role'umm Rob played a womanizer in Bel Ami'is that a great example? Emma Watson is filming a movie about breaking into peoples homes'and this is based on reality. So is she a bad role model? I don't get why just because Kristen chooses roles'she has to get criticized at every point. Garrett plays a cheater in OTR..so is that a bad example? And you know what most of these low life parts you say'are actually some people's reality. Open your eyes. The world is not as glamourous and loving as you think it is. Kristen by choosing these roles is actually opening up to fans a world we did not see. Welcome to the rilleys was tragic. OTR, before it became a movie I did not know about Kerouac and his influence on a generation. The Runaways..I had no idea who they were before Kristen starred in it. Speak'.that really shows true reality of kids and how adults just don't understand.

  • Bella is not sluttish nor is she emo! Melinda in speak was not emo! She was damaged. You clearly are making light of rape here. Mallory in WTTR was a broken character. Open your eyes'there are a lot of Mallory's out there..especially when sold on sex/human/child trafficking. Please do not make light of Kristen like this..your are also making light of the characters and what they represent to people. The Runaways was based on Joan Jett and Cherri. You are making fun of them.

  • Haha that's why I love her. And that's why some people hate her. I'm so proud of her. FML too. Lol.

  • How can being total bombs ever be construed as doing well? Welcome to the Rileys didn't even make $400,000 did it? That didn't even cover crew salaries. TR and TYH were also total failures, they didn't even make back their production budgets. And all 3 of those films were released after Twilight, which just proves that the Twilight fans are not her fans. They don't buy tickets to all her films, she has a tiny fanbase in actuality.

    SWATH is an action film, starring 2 international actors with a following, Charlize and Hemsworth. It's totes being sold as an action movie and they hardly show KS in the TV spots. It's like they're trying to hide the fact that she's in the movie.

  • Where is this stupid idea that it has comedy coming from? It's a gritty action drama, not a comedy. Are her fans too dumb to read and comprehend. There's nothing funny about this.

  • People are allowed to think she'll fail. Lots of people fail. Stop trying to control the way people think and what they say about her. Sh'e's not reading this, and you just make yourself look like a crazy fan. Step off.

  • u really are an idiot Dale u cant see the difference between Mainstream Films and Independent films?, here is a lesson ,indie films make less money cause they are released is less theaters than mainstream ones, Duhhh, her indie flicks have made enough money common for that type of film no big deal , she will show your ignorant hater ass with Snow White that she can be a Mainstream Success outside of twilight

  • Oh here is Saint Eric that lives behind a computer screen fantasy land that cant accept that life is not easy for everyone , criticizing an actress that has the cojones and the heart ot take on difficult roles of possible lives for normal human beings , except Eric who is probably one of those stupid little girls or old hags using a male name to diss Kristen Stewart , cause hey internet hate is anonymous right 'eric'

  • Is it fair to compare ANYONE'S indie films to their blockbuster films? Most actors take major pay cuts to make indie films simply for the role don't they?

  • Kristen shippers think sites only exist to only heap praise on their idol. You're not allowed to have a different opinion. Their nastiness raises to the level I think law enforcement needs to intervene.

  • Well said. Actors have to keep working. They have to grow. This is giving her a chance to work and give her producer experience as well.

  • Umm okay crazy hater. Fans would normally support who they like. It doesn't make them look crazy. So according to your comment its okay to suggest someone should fail? So we should put others down'? And bully them? Thanks for the clarification.

  • I wondered that too. Thank goodness I said 'if' in my previous comment. Lol.

  • Do producers actually front their own money? I thought it was just managing someone else's money. Keeping things within budget.

  • What is Akira? Sorry'don't know'

  • Aquarius64 is this you replying?

  • I understand this is your opinion'we're all entitled to one. But I do not think she'll fail here. One thing she's known for is taking good direction ' which is why the one thing you hear over and over again from directors is they took the job because they wanted to work with her. She takes good direction so she will do fine.

  • Ditto

  • Welcome to the club.

  • Well,well the Hollywood Life troll, and comment board ho is back to stink up Gossip Cop. Sorry to those that my language may offend but Aquarius64 you can fuck all the way off! Your a lying, Kristen hating bitch and I hope you are enjoying eating the shit you shovel.. Have a nice day you psychotic bitch.

  • And all the while making millions, and getting roles offered to her left and right. Bite that one Kristen hating bitch.

  • Rob has nothing? His new movie was also selected for Cannes, and Cronenberg has expressed his desire to cast Rob in another one of his movies. He has beautiful girlfriend'Kristen Stewart'.who is finally being recognized and praised for the talented actress she is and Rob could not be prouder. Like Kristen, Rob can pick and choose what he wants so I would say he has a full, happy life.

  • Crazy, is a hater like her clicking on an article about Kristen, and commenting on it. Obsessed with Kristen much? You step off, and fuck off.

  • Should be hater like you (not you vanquish13). Again, step off and fuck off Sara.

  • In short, it's an animae film being made into a Hollywood big budget film'it's estimated budget it 90 million big ones!!! Garrett Hedlund is already confirmed for the role, and a while back, she was confirmed to star in it too, but the film was put on hold for a re-write'I think. Either way, Kristen has yet to officially accept the offer because the film production has been paused-for now. Don't know what the hold up is officially, but either way, it's another BIG BUDGET MOVIE with amazing potential. Kristen would do it wonders!!! When she was offered the part, it was all over Gossip Cop'I know I've seen you on several other Kristen posts'surprised you missed this'.

  • You just read my mind'

  • Let's not play the innocent game here aquarius64. Sites like this exist to give opinions'but not attack people'in this case bashing Kristen. That's what you get confused with. Intervention? You're the one who needs intervention since you post slanderous comments about Kristen on GC and JustJared.

  • OMFG you people crack me up. You worship the ground this mediocre actress walks on. Kristen can do no wrong. Once the last Twilight movie is history and people realize this young woman really cannot act, she is going to fade into obscurity so fast you won't see anything but air.

  • Hey jerk'she is a wonderful actress! She is as talented as Jennifer Anniston'.oh wait, yeah you are right, she does suck.

  • Rob is offered another part from David Cronenberg you troll, he confirmed it in a recent intervew and I bet he will accept it. But what I wanted to say is that the fact that he has made nthg public doesn't mean he doesn't get any offers. Sooooo ridiculous !

  • She has 2 other Snow white afterwards and she is allowed to work for artistic purposes meanwhile. She's an actress and for how much we know her she's not interested in becoming the BIGGEST celebrity out there, but to do different movies. So with this choice I wouldn't expect less of her :D

  • I agree. When's he's ready to make roles public he will. He's still has to promote Cosmopolis and BD2.

  • Well according to Charlize, Kristen is very talented and a great actress. Chris hemsworth thinks the same. So does Rupert Sanders. So does Walter Salles when he cast Kristen when she was 15-16 in OTR before Twilight. Funnily, this post has nothing to do with Twilight. Sure Kristen starred in Twilight as Bella and BD2 will be coming out at the end of the year'but Kristen has much more to offer'or else'why would she be cast in SWATH and why would Cali make news? Why would OTR be at Cannes. Oh right'it's because of all the other actors and not Kristen. Kristen has something to offer'and if you can't see it..you don't have to make light of people who are fans of her.

  • Chris R. I remember you! We had an argument a while back. Don't want to start anything here'but Kristen rocks! :p

  • as Glenn answered I'm taken by surprise that anyone can earn $6580 in one month on the computer. have you read this web link http://tomakeusd.blogspot.in/

  • I said I think she will fail. So what. I hope that you do realize that failure is OK. No one is great and successful at everything. Not even KS.

  • Voltage stated that it's an action film with some comedy mixed in. I never stated that it's going to be a comedy. Google it. It's on thewrap.com. Talk about having no reading comprehension. Feeling dumb yet?

  • This is an interview with the man who wrote the script. It's billed as an action thriller with some Tarantino type DARK comedy mixed in. Not a funny, ha-ha comedy idiot. Feeling like a stupid ass now? You should..

    Variety' Snow White' actress set for Voltage action pic.

    'Snow White and the Huntsman' star Kristen Stewart is set to topline 'Cali,' a gritty action pic set in Los Angeles that will be produced by Voltage Productions and New School Media.

    Michael Diliberti ('30 Minutes or Less') wrote the script, which follows Mya (Stewart) and Chris, a pair of San Fernando Valley lovebirds with a penchant for bad choices and dangerous behavior. After selling a fake snuff film featuring Mya, they ride off into the sunset with a bundle of cash. Years later, Mya must 'return from the dead' to save the younger sister she left behind in Cali, where the young couple contends with angry former business partners, homicidal porn stars, stoner vet techs, an unstoppable killing machine in a cowboy hat and their own contentious relationship.

    Craig J. Flores ('300') and Zev Foreman ('Killer Joe') will produce for Voltage, while Diliberti will also produce. His manager, Brian Levy of New School Media, will exec produce with Voltage topper Nicolas Chartier ('The Hurt Locker') and Stewart, who will pick up her first producing credit on the project.

    Diliberti developed the script on spec before it was acquired by Voltage, which attached Stewart. Producers are currently out to directors and they're anticipating a late summer start date.

    'Kristen is a talented and dynamic actor, with a proven box office draw,' said Flores. 'Her role in 'Cali' will be edgy and sexy. It will no doubt push the envelope on the public's view of Kristen's wide-ranging abilities. Voltage is thrilled to have her as a partner on this fantastic film.'

    'Cali' marks a return to indie fare for Stewart, who has balanced the 'Twilight' franchise pics like 'Welcome to the Rileys,' 'The Runaways' and Walter Salles' upcoming adaptation of 'On the Road.' Thesp next stars in Universal's 'Snow White and the Huntsman' and the final installment in 'The Twilight Saga,' which Summit will release on Nov. 16.

    Diliberti is coming off the seven-figure spec sale to GK Films of comedy 'Little White Corvette,' which has Emma Stone attached to star. Scribe is also writing a Fox 2000 project for 'Crazy, Stupid, Love' helmers John Requa and Glenn Ficarra that Simon Kinberg is producing, a Sony pic for Seth Gordon that Matt Tolmach is producing and a Warner Bros. movie for Todd Phillips with his Green Hat Films banner producing.

    Voltage, which produced Kathryn Bigelow's Oscar winner 'The Hurt Locker,' is currently in pre-production on Shia LaBeouf-starrer 'The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman' and post-production on Robert Redford's political action-thriller 'The Company You Keep,' which also stars LaBeouf. Stewart is repped by Gersh and McKuin, Frankel and Whitehead, while WME and New School Media reps Diliberti.

    The Wrap Michael Diliberti, who penned '30 Minutes or Less,' wrote the script with Stewart in mind for the role of Mya.

    'She has a great balance between strength and sexiness that is perfect for this character,' Zev Foreman, head of development at Voltage, told TheWrap. Foreman is producing with colleague Craig Flores and Dilberti. via fiercebitchstew

  • Yeah, like you haters have said since Twilight she would fail, and 4 yrs, many awards, and the mast bankable actor for 2011 later she is the reigning Queen.

  • Looks like air is what occupies the space where your brain should be.

  • Yeah'I'm surprised I missed it too. Thanks though.

  • Failing at something is ok. I never said it wasn't. But saying someone will fail is not ok. There's a difference.

  • Vanquish, JessieB, Buffy, xyz, JessMarie are in the house kicking ass and taking names. You guys rock more than you know. You give the facts about the ever talented Kristen and she is lucky to have fans that fight for her so passionately. Keep doing what you do!!!!
