Confirmed: Kristen to star in 'Camp X-Ray’ & ‘Sils Maria’


  Question: Can you confirm Daniel Brühl and/or Tom Sturridge for Sils Maria, too?
Answer: Yes, i confirm both of them !

From Deadline:
Kristen Stewart has committed to star in back to back projects shooting this summer. She will star in Camp X-Ray, a politically charged drama written and directed by Peter Sattler, and she will also star in the Olivier Assayas-directed Sils Maria.

In Camp X-Ray, Stewart will play a young soldier who escapes her suffocating small town by joining the military, only to find that she isn’t going for a tour of duty in Iraq as she hoped. Instead, she’s sent to Guantanamo. Met with hatred and abuse from the Muslim men in her charge, she forges an odd friendship with a young man who has been imprisoned at Gitmo for eight years. The film’s being produced by Gina Kwon and Sophia Lin, and exec produced by David Gordon Green, Lindsay Williams and Ellen Goldsmith-Vein. Production begins late summer.

Stewart will join Juliette Binoche and Chloe Moretz in Sils Maria, the CG Cinema-produced English language film that Assayas wrote for his Summer Hours star Binoche. The film explores middle age and that introspective period where one questions how they’ve spent their life so far and what they’ve accomplished.

The title refers to the Swiss setting, and Stewart plays the assistant to Binoche’s character, an actress who becomes obsessed with a young actress (Moretz) playing the role that made the older actress famous when she was young. The film shoots this summer in Europe. IFC acquired this film for distribution just before Cannes.

Stewart is repped by Gersh and McKuin Frankel Whitehead, and Sattler is repped by UTA, Gotham Group and attorney Adam Kaller.
From  Indiewire:
The most intriguing of the bunch is a role in Olivier Assayas' next effort, "Sils Maria." The project will see Stewart joining Juliette Binoche and Chloe Moretz, in the story of an older actress (Binoche) who gets obsessed-over by a younger thesp (Moretz) taking on a role the older actress made famous.

Stewart will be playing Binoche's assistant. As far as arthouse moves go, this could be a great fit for Stewart, who we think is a solid actress.

She could find a nice showcase for her skills in Assayas' actor-centric style, and will no doubt benefit from the masterful presence of Binoche, who reteams with Assayas after 2008's superb "Summer Hours". What about Mia Wasikowska? Well, she's actually no longer involved with the movie, bummer, but this trio will do nicely. And that's not all for Stewart who has also joined "Camp X-Ray." It's a much grittier movie, that will find Stewart in the lead, playing a soldier who gets assigned to Guantanamo Bay where she forges a friendship with a man who has been imprisoned for eight years.

The movie will mark the feature debut of Peter Sattler, who previous credits were as a graphic designer on "Star Trek," "Walk The Line" and "The Game Plan" among others. Must be a helluva script, but it does have producing power of David Gordon Green behind it; Sattler was a set-dresser on Green's early efforts "All The Real Girls" and "Undertow."
From The Wrap:
Kristen Stewart is set to spend her summer starring in Peter Sattler's indie drama "Camp X-Ray," as well as Olivier Assayas' next movie "Sils Maria," the "Twilight" star's publicist has confirmed to TheWrap.
Stewart joins Juliette Binoche and Chloe Moretz in "Sils Maria," which will find her playing the assistant for a veteran actress (Binoche) who becomes obsessed with a younger actress (Moretz) who has been cast in the role that made her a star years before.

CG Cinema is producing the English-language movie, which "Carlos" director Assayas wrote specifically for his "Summer Hours" star Binoche. Production will take place this summer in Europe, and IFC Films acquired U.S. distribution rights in advance of Cannes.

Deadline had initially reported that Mia Wasikowska would play the younger actress but that report proved premature.

"Camp X-Ray" is a completely different vehicle for Stewart, who will play a young woman who decides to escape her small town and join the military, hoping to be deployed to Iraq. Instead, she is sent to Guantanamo, where she forges an unlikely friendship with a young man who has been imprisoned there for nearly a decade.

Gina Kwon and Sophia Lin are producing "Camp X-Ray," while David Gordon Green is exec producing with Lindsay Williams and Ellen Goldsmith-Vein.

Stewart is repped by Gersh, while UTA reps Sattler.

Deadline first reported Stewart's involvement in "Sils Maria," while Production Weekly tweeted the "Camp X-Ray" news several weeks ago.

Kristen's 'On the Road' co-star Tom Sturridge will also star in Sils Maria. 'On the Road' Producer, Charles Gillibert, is also set to be a producer on 'Sils Maria'. ICYMI: We previously posted news about Kristen starring in 'Camp X-ray' here
