Okay, Taylor Lautner, it’s your move. The primary “Twilight” duo of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have used their YA-vampire cache as a stepping stone to work with extremely interesting filmmakers: Walter Salles, Olivier Assayas, David Cronenberg, David Michod and many, many more. Lautner has fallen behind in that regard, but it’s possible he might have been legitimately interested in “Abduction” and “Grown Ups 2” (and/or, he just hasn’t found the right roles yet). That’s neither here nor there, but it does remind us that Kristen Stewart has another intriguing looking project coming up. Titled “Camp X-Ray,” the movie is an indie that premiered at Sundance earlier this year, and features the actress as in an unlikely, but challenging role of a Guantanamo Bay detention camp guard.
Written and directed by first-time feature helmer Peter Sattler, the movie co-stars Tara Holt, John Carroll Lynch, Lane Garrison, Peyman Moaadi, Cory Michael Smith and Joseph Julian Soria. Here’s the official synopsis:
A young woman joins the military to be part of something bigger than herself and her small town roots. But she ends up as a new guard at Guantanamo Bay instead, where her mission is far from black and white. Surrounded by hostile jihadists and aggressive squadmates, she strikes up an unusual friendship with one of the detainees. A story of two people, on opposite sides of a war, struggling to find their way through the ethical quagmire of Guantanamo Bay. And in the process, they form an unlikely bond that changes them both.
IFC Films will release "Camp X-Ray" theatrically on October 17th and VOD on October 28th. The first official U.S. poster for the film and new photos have arrived, and you can check them out below.
Typical Playlist – why don't you mention that the reviews at sundance for this film were really not good as were the reviews for KS. Why aren't you asking why are there only 9 reviews on RT.?? There must have been more than 9 eligible critics present at the screening. Looks like someone blocked them in order to prevent bad press for KS.
Seriously though if she gets an Oscar nom for a film this year it will show what the Academy stands for – supporting homewreckers and cheats. Hope they think twice. It'll be bought anyway. They all are.
LOL @ your psycho rant. Stay pressed, stay crazy and twisting everything beyond reason. You've been at it for years and she is doing better than ever.
@Llama-it`s for you.RK fans totally obsessed with Taylor Lautner appearance and career difficulties,calm dawn and wait.
Oh, you sound like a fully Robsten fan-so ignorant and so racist. Taylor received great reviews for Cuckoo, he received great reviews for Jason Reitman Live Reads, he received great reviews even for GU-2, he has just finished filming in the indie drama by Soham Mehta. He tries work with different genres-action, comedy, indie, and rightly so. Rob and Kristen still do fail in box office, but get the role primarily because they have excellent agents and pr managers, they themselves are fine actors, they are one of many. Taylor is still young, very young and he has yet to come, his fans always with him. But you will always be jealous of him, but your hatred is a great reason to prove to you that you are wrong. And he'll do it, eventually it will prove it, and you get choke on yours hatred.Good day.
No, in Dec. 2012 Stewart was gushing about how excited she was to do SWATH2. Universal issued a statement saying they had been thinking about focusing on the Huntsman but decided instead to go ahead with SW2.
Then this year they reversed that decision and dumped her from the franchise. And it wasn't about money, Hemsworth and whoever co-stars with him will get millions, that's the way it works. It wasn't that they didn't want to pay her, it was that she trashed her brand by having an affair with her married director.
And please don't try to compare her to Angelina, it's so insulting. Brad and Angelina didn't have an affair, he got a divorce from Anniston, who was more interested in her career than she was in her marriage anyway. She's proved that in the past 8 years by making film after film instead of getting married and having children.
When Stewart finishes up with Equals, she has nothing else lined up. She's unemployed again, like she was for 18 months after her affair with Rupert was exposed. So the excuse that she has other things to do in January doesn't wash.
It's more likely that in order to get Sturgess back, the producers of The Big Shoe had to assure him her role would be recast with someone less controversial. The fact that they're replacing her with an unknown kind of proves that. She had to droop out of Cali, Focus, Universal dumped her from SWATH2 and now The Big Shoe. It's no accident that these films keep falling apart on her. She was always divisive and it's only gotten worse with time.
Boy, it didn't take long for the Kristen Stewart haters to get on this board. They must google her name and go to every blog site and write comments. I'm seeing the same junk written about her about The Big Shoe (which is not true) on every site there's a story about her.
What is this? A conspiracy against her? Give it a break people. There are millions of fans around the world who love her.
I'm excited to see this film and Clouds of Sils Maria.
KRISTEN STEWART is still gorgeous without make-up!!! Can't wait to see CAMP X-RAY!!!
