Kristen Stewart may have another project up her sleeve shortly. The Twilight actress is reportedly ready to sign on to star in An American Girl. Actor James Woods is directing the script and gives this summary of the plot:

“It’s about a young woman who is really destructive. It’s that magical time right after you’re out of high school. She was the top swimmer and dive champion in school. Now it’s a year later and she lives in a little town in Indiana and the place is dying, she’s working in a grocery store and drinking and drugging too much and she’s showing off in front of this guy who likes her, and gets involved in a big sex thing with two guys drunk one night at a quarry. She gets taped doing it on somebody’s phone and in a small town, her reputation is ruined and on a drunken whim, she joins the Marines, which is ridiculous.

Stewart has had quite a number of projects in the past couple of years, including Adventureland with Jesse Eisenberg, The Runaways with Dakota Fanning and of course, The Twilight Saga films. Woods believes this project will earn Stewart an Oscar nomination. That’s a pretty bold statement.

The horror/comedy flick Zombieland had it’s red carpet premiere this week with stars Jesse Eisenberg, Amber Heard and Emma Stone in attendance. Abigail Breslin and Woody Harrelson co-star in this movie about a group who survive a zombie plague and travel the US fighting the undead along the way. This is a great cast of young actors and it looks like a fun movie.

Eisenberg co-starred with Kristen Stewart earlier this year in Adventureland and Stone was in Superbad with Michael Cera. Heard was in Never Back Down with Cam Gigandet.

Zombieland opens in theaters Friday October 2nd. Who’s gonna check it out?

Actor Michael Angarano has signed on to star in the film ‘Ceremony.’ Jesse Eisenberg (you-know-who’s co-star from Adventureland )is in talks to take the other main role in this indie romantic comedy.

[...]“the comedy follows a young man (Eisenberg) who falls hard for an older woman about to be married. The infatuation prompts him to take along his unwitting friend (Angarano) to a beach town in an effort to break up the wedding. Upon arriving, the young men quickly realize just how out of place they are among the stately British groom-to-be and his guests.”

The talented actor’s work has been overshadowed by all the speculation on his personal life but now, we have news of a new project for him. Finally! Something involving Angarano that doesn’t involve Kristen Stewart!

Nylon magazine has the super hot Kristen Stewart on it’s March 2009 cover and the actress has a lot to say. She isn’t afraid to be real, raw and let strong opinions show.

On the Twilight Madness:  “Anywhere we’d go for Twilight was a psychotic situation. The sound was deafening, and it’s thoughtless, as well… You get a slew of all these bullshit questions like, ‘What’s it like to kiss a vampire?’ and ‘How much do you love Robert?’ Then you’ll get one that’s actually real, but you’re like, ‘No, I can’t right now, I can’t even consider [it].”

And no, she’s not dating Robert Pattinson. “It’s just totally false… Rob and I are good friends.  We went through a lot together, so we feel very close.  But if we go out in public, every little detail is scrutinized, like the way I stand next to him.  And it’s like, I know this guy really fucking well [laughs].  It’s only natural that we’re sort of leaning on each other, because we’re put in the most fucking psychotic situations.”

Stewart has had an amazing year professionally. The ‘Twilight’ actress is gearing up to promote her newest film, ‘Adventureland’ and heading to work on ‘New Moon’ and the Joan Jett biopic. Check out her appearance on the David Letterman show back in November – and see what she has to say about it in Nylon magazine here

Kristen Stewart has been in Park City, Utah for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival promoting her latest film ‘Adventureland.’  The film (from the director of Superbad) about a young guy who gets a job at an amusement park after graduating college will be out sometime this March. Check out the trailer below – it looks very funny.
