Looks like most of those rumors turned out to be true. The director of modern minimalist classics like “Wendy & Lucy,” “Old Joy,” “Meek’s Cutoff,” and “Night Moves” — that latter film we just placed on our 50 Best Films Of The Decade So Far list — a new Kelly Reichardt film is always cause for celebration. And so we greatly anticipate her upcoming project, an untitled, vignette-driven drama set in small town Montana.
And the already-terrific cast just got even better. Kristen Stewart, coming off two great performances in “Clouds of Sils Maria” and “Camp X-Ray,” has joined the film. According to Deadline, she will portray a lawyer from Boise, Idaho who takes a teaching job several hours from her house. Stewart’s character develops a friendship with a local woman who’s auditing her class. Michelle Williams “stars” (or just might be the biggest name in the cast), and the cast also includes Laura Dern, James Le Gros, Jared Harris ("Mad Men"), and newcomer Sara Rodier. Film Divider revealed most of the film’s setting and tone last week and pegged most of the cast in advance too.
That’s a solid cast all around and definitely marks this as a highly anticipated 2016 project. What festival it might debut at is anyone’s guess this far out, though if you wanna speculate, Reichardt’s films tend to debut in Venice. See you on the Lido more than a year from now?
When will this movie be out in the states?
So looking forward to seeing more of Kristen. She is continuing to grow as an actor and find her way.
Stewart doesn\’t look desperate… Check does.
MI..get a life."I am waiting for clouds of sils maria " Lil..waiting for someone\’s failure just shows your life\’s worthiness and for the record none of robs new movie performed gr8at the box office..the rover bombed worst ROFL…at least Kristen got a Caesar (French Oscar).for performance… Whereas rob got a pig
As always box office of kstew stellar movies is never mentioned.Camp X ray flloped,SA earned less than $10 mln even multiple awards for Moore didn\’t help.I\’m waiting for Clouds od Sils Maria flop but of course it won\’t be mentioned on Indiewire.
Check,
You are the one who is embarrassing.
FYI, Salles cut a large part of Stewart\’s part out of the US release of On The Road. It didn\’t stop her from mounting a campaign for an Oscar, though. She attended endless screenings, I remember that. The phrase, she would go to the opening of a drawer," sprang to mind.
I love Kristen Stewart
I loved Kristen Stewart\’s performance in "Still Alice" and I think she should have received a Best Supporting Actress nomination! Stewart\’s performance was amazing but she also really supported Julianne Moore\’s role as Alice and helped make the movie work! Stewart deserved some real accolades for "Still Alice"!
I am really looking forward to this movie. I love Kristen Stewart and I am a big fan of Michelle Williams. I think she is probably one of the best actresses of her generation out there. Sign me up for this movie!:)
@Check/ Copy/Paste troll/ Truthy_1- it\’s time to give it a rest. It\’s getting tiresome and predictable having you comment on every single article!
@Check: You mad? Kristen and Michelle can\’t wait.
Kristen just won the Caesar Award for supporting actress. It\’s the first time in 30 years that an American has even been nominated for one of their awards, much less won one. She had her own style of doing things and I love her for her. I wish people would wit attack her as though she stole their car or even their dog.
@check is one of those Rob fan haters of Kristen Stewart who goes onto every comment board writing the same thing. OTR wasn\’t Kristen\’s movie. She didn\’t have to promote OTR. OTR\’s failure wasn\’t hers. She was in it for two seconds. Kristen believes in projects and not matter what they are or what anyone thinks about them, she stands behind them. Just see her latest thoughts about Twilight.
Kristen was no snubbed. Scott Feinberg isn\’t King. Kristen was on several Top 10 lists including Awards Daily. I don\’t know where you get all this from but you sound foolish. She\’s won a French Cesar which no other actress in the US has ever done. If it was easy, it would have been done.
Michelle Williams is not the one who\’s going to sell this film. Biggest star?
Um @check,she was fantastic in Still Alice,she enhanced Julianne\’s performance and if you rewind ALL of Juliannes acceptance speeches,she always mentions Kristen who btw if you haven\’t heard made History by becoming the first American actress to win France\’s equivalent to a BSA,a Cesar Award,so stop putting Kristen down,your inner hate is showing through!
Since she loves acting, it\’s great she joined projects that she likes.
@CHECK : Do you know her personally, stop being a hateful jerk/bitch online.
I\’m So excited because kristen stewart is one of the my favorite actress in hollywood.
Why are they pushing this actress so hard? Saw SWATH. Lip biting, heavy breathing isn\’t acting to me. She\’s also very unattractive. Very masculine. There are lesbian rumors so not surprised. I like Michelle Williams but not enough to sit through Kstew and Laura Dern. Yuck
@CHECK: Loosen up.
yessss. Excited for this!
Shortlisted by who? Ruth\’s 3 best friends? Even Scott Feinberg didn\’t have her in his top ten. She was snubbed by everyone, even the Independent Spirit Awards. If she couldn\’t get a nod there, it was never real. It would be less embarrassing if you stopped repeating that nonsense. After her failed OTR campaign, she just looks desperate for validation.
You missed Still Alice in your list of Kristen\’s current stellar perfomances for which she was shorlisted for Best Supporting Actress.
