Hello,
Kristen Stewart fans! We're happy to announce that Stewart's upcoming action-thriller
Cali finally has a director.
The good thing is that
Nick Cassavetes, man behind projects like
The Notebook and
Alpha Dog is now on board to helm
the gritty, L.A.-based story.
They already describe Cali as some kind of mix between
the dynamic action and a
true love story, so I guess we should give it a try….
As we previously reported, the story is written by
Michael Diliberti, and will follow Mya 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.
And now, thanks to
DarkHorizons, comes the word that Cassavetes will be in charge for the whole thing.
I guess we're all a little bit surprised with this decision, but hey – what the hell, at least we'll soon have a chance to watch Stewart in a different kind of role.
Or, let me remind you what producer Craig J. Flores already revealed about that role: “it will be edgy and sexy and will no doubt push the envelope on the public's view of Kristen's wide-ranging abilities.”
Cheers to that!
