Actress Kristen Stewart is venturing into new territory as she prepares to make her directorial debut with an upcoming film. The 34-year-old recently opened up about her project, revealing that it may be difficult for audiences to watch. Despite the challenge, Kristen is excited to bring this unique story to life.
Known for her roles in films like Love Lies Bleeding, Spencer, and the Twilight franchise, Kristen is now turning her attention to adapting Lidia Yuknavitch's memoir, The Chronology of Water, for the big screen. In a recent interview, she shared some details about the film, hinting at its controversial themes of incest and menstruation.
Kristen acknowledged that tackling such sensitive and unconventional topics may be risky, but she is determined to create something original and thought-provoking. She explained that it can be difficult to get a film made that doesn't follow the standard formula, but she is confident that her movie will be a thrilling and commercial success.
The actress first announced her plans to adapt The Chronology of Water at Cannes Film Festival in 2018, but has since faced challenges in securing financing for the project. In fact, she was so committed to making this film that she even took a break from acting until she could bring her vision to life.
Kristen shared that this process has been a struggle, but she is determined to see it through. She expressed her desire to create something with a clear purpose and impact, rather than just doing something for the sake of it. Details about the film are still scarce, but the official synopsis promises a powerful and unconventional story.
The memoir, released in 2011, delves into Lidia's life and her experiences with childhood sexual abuse, addiction, and finding solace in swimming and writing. The story follows her journey from Texas, where she accepted a swimming scholarship to escape a troubled family life, to her time in Oregon where she wrote a novel with author Ken Kesey.
With themes of drugs, alcohol, bisexuality, and S&M, The Chronology of Water is not your typical coming-of-age story. But for Kristen, this is what makes it so compelling and worthy of being brought to the big screen. She is determined to capture the essence of Lidia's life and show the audience a different perspective.
As for a release date, it's still unknown when we can expect to see Kristen's adaptation. But one thing is for sure, it will be a film that challenges and captivates its viewers. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project.
