Kristen Stewart may be done with the “Twilight” saga, but she’s got plenty in store for her fans — if they can grow as much as she hopes to as an actress.
Stewart is set to star in back-to-back projects that begin shooting this summer. According to Deadline.com, she signed up to play the lead in “Camp X-Ray,” a military drama about Guantanamo Bay directed by Peter Sattler, and “Sils Maria,” a character study by director Olivier Assayas.
“Camp X-Ray” follows a young woman who enlists in the army to escape her small-town existence, only to find herself stationed at Guantanamo Bay. After struggling to maintain authority over the Muslim men she’s assigned to watch, she befriends a young man who is imprisoned in the facility for a period of eight years.
“Sils Maria,” meanwhile, co-stars Juliette Binoche and Chloe Grace Moretz, and focuses on an aging actress (Binoche) who becomes fascinated by a young counterpart (Moretz). The younger actress works on reinventing a role that made the older actress popular and famous when she was beginning her career. Stewart reportedly plays Binoche’s character’s assistant.
The two projects follow a couple of rumored films that Stewart is supposed to also be working on, the dramedy , and “Snow White and the Huntsman 2,” which does not yet have a director, although she and co-star Chris Hemsworth are currently rumored to be returning.
Stewart wrapped up the “Twilight” saga last year with the release of “Breaking Dawn – Part 2,” where she completed the journey of her character, Bella Swan. She more or less immediately followed that up with a memorable performance in Walter Salles’ adaptation of the iconic beat generation novel “On The Road.”
