Kristen Stewart Ditches Robert Pattinson, Lands 2 Gigs.
by Zack WellsOut with the old, and in with the new? It seems that way. Shortly after “Twilight” power couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart split, Kristen, the highest paid female actress, has landed two new indie flicks.
The first film is titled “Camp X-ray”, produced by Gina Kwon and Sophia Lin, is the story of a young soldier who is abused while stationed in Guantanamo. Kristen Stewart is set to play the leading soldier, who dreams of leaving her small town and joining the army. Unfortunately, she is not sent to Iraq, but to Guantanamo. While there, she develops a friendship with a man who has been imprisoned at Gitmo for eight years.
Soon after, Kristen is booked to start filming “Sils Maria”, joining co-stars Juliette Binoche and Chloe Moretz. The film is an exploration of middle age and focuses on the midlife crisis. Kristen is set to play the assistant to Binoche’s character, an actress who grows obsessed with a young starlet (Moretz) when she plays the role that helped the older actress climb to fame.
There are many rumors surrounding the breakup of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, but there is no official word on what happened yet. Either way, Kristen seems to be keeping herself busy and branching out past her “Twilight” past, which is always a good thing.
It is entirely possible that the breakup lead to her landing these roles, but without any official word, it is all just speculation.
So, what do you think of the split? What do you think of these new roles for K-Stew? Let us know what you think.
