Twilight actress Kristen Stewart has signed on to star in An American Girl. The James Wood’s directed production places Stewart in the lead role. Get the details here!
In the film Stewart will play a once successful high school champion swimmer who must pick the pieces of her life after she resorts to drugs and alcohol as a way to escape her reality and the consequences of a circulating sex tape.
James Woods recently spoke to ComingSoon.com about Stewart and the storyline:
“It’s about a young woman who is really destructive. It’s that magical time right after you’re out of high school. She was the top swimmer and dive champion in school. Now it’s a year later and she lives in a little town in Indiana and the place is dying, she’s working in a grocery store and drinking and drugging too much and she’s showing off in front of this guy who likes her, and gets involved in a big sex thing with two guys drunk one night at a quarry.”
Stewart’s character then joins the Marines, turning around her life and finding sobriety. James Woods, who calls An American Girl “a phenomenal story”, reportedly appears in the movie as Stewart’s on screen father. The script of An American Girl was written by Tim Metcalfe and Sean McCarthy.
