Kristen Stewart has threatened to quit acting until she can get her film, The Chronology of Water, off the ground. Back in 2018, the Spencer star announced that she was writing and directing a film adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch’s 2011 memoir of the same way. “Lidia Yuknavitch is from Portland.
I love her novels but her memories, it’s deeply personal to her. She’s in my blood, and I knew that before I met her,” she revealed in a statement, per Indie Wire. “As soon as I met her it was like we started this race without any sesne of competition.
I’m making the movie this summer but other than that, my only goal is just to finish the screenplay and hire a really spectacular actor: I’m going to write the best f**king female role.
I’m going to write a role that I want so badly but that I’m not going to play.” Since that fateful day, Stewart’s upcoming directorial debut has faced numerous delays and has only cast one actor, 28 Weeks Later star Imogen Poots.
