According to reports, Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence and Twilight’s Kristen Stewart are facing off in a very public battle over, what could be, the role of a lifetime!

Katniss Everdeen vs. Bella Swan –  C’mon, is there really a question over who is going to win a fight between these two?

Apparently, Kristen and Jennifer are both vying for the role of Peyton Loftis, a character in the upcoming film Lie Down in Darkness and according to a source,

It’s an independent movie, and they see it as a career-making role, like Meryl Streep in Sophie’s Choice… It is very unusual for two actresses to be so vocal in lobbying for a role, and even more unusual that they are the two hottest young actresses of the moment.

In a recent interview with W Magazine, Jennifer spoke out about just how much she wants to play Peyton,

I am obsessed with that part. I have this feeling of protectiveness over characters I want to play . . . If someone else gets the part, I’m afraid they won’t do it right. I’m trying to write the director . . . to convince him that I should be in his movie. I’ll chase him if I have to. I’ll sit outside his house.

We love her passion!

KStew also voiced her desire for the role in an interview with Elle,

I want to play Peyton more than anything I can possibly taste or touch in my life. I want to play her so bad. They’re the most [bleeped]-up family. There’s a script adaptation . . . and it’s good. Two people vying for the part [of the father] are Daniel Day-Lewisand Colin Firth. Daniel would be perfect.

Who do you think would make the best “Peyton”?  Sound off below!
