Kristen Stewart will be working alongside Jennifer Lawrence's boyfriend Nicholas Hoult for an upcoming film that is a romantic adaptation of "1984."
Kristen Stewart and Jennifer Lawrence are not the best of friends! Now, according to The Associate Press, the "Twilight" star has signed up for the film "Equals," where she will star opposite Lawrence's boyfriend Nicholas Hoult.
"I can't believe I agreed to do it," the actress said, according to ABC News. "I'm terrified of it. Though it's a movie with a really basic concept, it's overtly ambitious. In 'Equals,' things go wrong because you can't deny the humanity in everyone. It's the most devastating story."
The new film is a romantic adaptation of the 1956 film "1984", which is based on George Orwell's classic novel about rebellion in a futuristic society. Director Drake Doremus will begin filming the movie later this year.
"I trust Drake's process and I know we will do something really natural and real," said Stewart. "But I told Drake, 'Don't expect that I am going to be able to do this. It's too hard.' But he wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. I've given directors disclaimers before, but never this much."
In May 2012, Hollywood Life reported that Stewart and Lawrence were battling it out to bag a role in the film "Lie Down in Darkness." This professional battle later led to a personal feud, which of course the actresses denied. In fact, they were so bent on proving that there was no such thing going on that they planned a "girls night out" and hung out together at the Toronto Film Festival in September that year. The two were even seen embracing each other at the red carpet during the Academy Awards
"She's so cool," Stewart said of the Hunger Games actress, according to MTV News. "I was a lot younger than her when I first sort of entered this world of franchise land, and I don't know, I guess we sort of both went, 'Wow, this is so weird.' We actually sat in a corner with Emma Watson as well, the three of us. We were like, 'Wow, this is strange. This is really cool.'"
It is reported that the 23-year-old Lawrence even attempted to clear all the rumors and bad-blood fueled by the media between the two through an email in 2012, reports entertainmentwise.com. Co-incidentally the two represent rival French brands, Dior and Chanel. Lawrence is the face of Dior handbags, which also has Robert Pattinson fronting the fragrance Dior Homme!
Now will Stewart starring opposite Hoult brew new trouble between the leading actresses of Hollywood? Only time will tell.
