After a very busy 2016, you can probably bet that Kristen Stewart will be using the upcoming holiday break to get some much needed rest. After appearing in five films — Woody Allen‘s “Café Society,” Olivier Assayas‘ “Personal Shopper,” Kelly Reichardt‘s “Certain Women,” Drake Doremus‘ “Equals” and Ang Lee‘s “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” — shooting a music video, and making her directorial debut, Stewart is capping off the year today with the final day of principal photography on “Lizzie.”
Co-starring Chloe Sevigny, with Fiona Shaw, Jamey Sheridan, Denis O’Hare, Kim Dickens and Jeff Perry in the supporting cast, Craig William Macneill‘s (“The Boy“) film is a gothic psychological thriller that explores the events that led up to the notorious murders of the Borden family — and reveals the many layers of the strange, fragile woman who stood accused of their brutal murder. When Bridget Sullivan, a young maid, comes to work for the Borden family, Lizzie finds a sympathetic and kindred spirit, and what begins as innocent companionship eventually escalates into attraction, love and bloody vengeance.
With Stewart and Sevigny leading the film, this has the potential to be something very cool. No release date yet, but I’d wager on a fall festival bow.
