"We're casting right now," Stewart says. "We've been putting together and have been thinking about this for a really long time. I'm so stoked. It's taken the time it's needed. Some of these take a decade to put together. I just jump every gun in my life and start talking about stuff before they're really relevant, but it's more relevant than ever. Now we're casting the movie. We're finding our Lidia Yuknavitch." Spencer Star Kristen Stewart Talks about Her Acting Career, Says ‘I’ve Probably Made Five Really Good Films’.
According to Stewart, she was taking it out this week to find potential investors. "We don't need that much. It's a really small movie. It's something I would have wanted to be cast in when I was younger." As the writer and director, Stewart was asked if she had any plans to make an Alfred Hitchcock-like appearance in the film, to which she replied: "No. There's actually no part for me. I guess depending on who plays Lydia, I could maybe play her older sister but probably not. I keep trying to figure out a way to get in there but I don't think so."
