UPDATE:

Josh Dickey of Variety tweeted the following:

Although fans were looking forward to this film, unfortunately, Stewart will not be a part of it. 

Original Gossip Cop announcement after the break

STEWART WILL BE TANNED & BLONDE IN NEW FILM 'CALI'

The Snow White pale skin and long black hair will not be seen in Kristen Stewart's next film 'Cali'.  Stewart tells Women's Wear Daily (as she prepares to be the face of Balenciaga's new fragrance  'Florabotanica' this fall) that in her next film she's losing all of the Snow White looks.


"To physically prepare for the part, Stewart will become tan and make her hair blonde."

“I’m going to get into the best shape of my life,” she said. “I’m going to look like a stripper. I’m going to look like a porn star.”

Although Stewart does not consider her style to be like any of the style icons she admires such as the Hollywood screen siren Bridgett Bardot, it appears Stewart's appearance in 'Cali' will be more in line with Bardot's regardless. 




                                                                      
'Cali' is about a couple “in the valley that gets involved with really strange people, really screw themselves over and become alienated, reinsert themselves into that world and try to survive. It’s really ‘Grindhouse’-y — extreme in every way,” Stewart says.


Stewart further describes her character.


“If you don’t know why someone is the way that they are, then you’re just playing a caricature of a girl,” she explained. “So if an emotional scene comes up or something, I never want to lie. I don’t want to think about my cat dying when I was younger.”

For her, acting is all about self-discovery.

“A lot of times, you’ll read a script and you can identify with things that are very surprising, things that kind of shock you about yourself. And the process of making the movie is finding out why those feelings occurred,” said Stewart. “Sometimes they’re not always easy to define.”


'Cali' will be directed by Nick "The Notebook" Cassavettes and this will be Stewart's first producer credit for a film.  'Cali' is currently in pre-production.

"The story follows Mya (Stewart) and Chris, a pair of San Fernando Valley lovebirds with a penchant for bad choices and dangerous behavior. After selling a fake snuff film featuring Mya, they ride off into the sunset with a bundle of cash. Years later, Mya must "return from the dead" to save the younger sister she left behind in Cali, where the young couple contends with angry former business partners, homicidal porn stars, stoner vet techs, an unstoppable killing machine in a cowboy hat and their own contentious relationship."

Gossip Cop confirmed that Kristen Stewart will star in and produce an indie film called "Cali" by Voltage Productions and New School Media.

Stewart will play "Mya, who is forced to return home to help “save” her younger sister, years after the trouble-causing Mya and her boyfriend left town, "according to Gossip Cop. 

"Kristen is a talented and dynamic actor, with a proven box office draw,” Voltage’s Craig J. Flores tells Variety.

"Her role in Cali will be edgy and sexy. It will no doubt push the envelope on the public’s view of Kristen’s wide-ranging abilities. Voltage is thrilled to have her as a partner on this fantastic film."
