Kristen Stewart beats Jen Lawrence for role of of Peyton
Kristen Stewart beats Jennifer Lawrence for the role of Peyton Loftis in "Lie Down in Darkness"
"Kristen Stewart may have become tabloid fodder in recent days, but the 22-year-old seems decidedly committed to being taken seriously as an actress: Vulture hears exclusively that Stewart has landed the lead role in an indie adaptation of William Styron’s 1951 novel, Lie Down In Darkness. Directed by Crazy Heart helmer Scott Cooper and set in genteel fifties Virginia, Lie Down will have Stewart play Peyton Loftis. As part of a dysfunctional and disintegrating family, Peyton is constantly compared to her crippled sister, Maudie, and her intense physical beauty makes her the object of her frigid mother’s jealous hatred and the target of her father’s incestuous, alcoholic lust. (Stewart will also appear in another fifties-era film, Walter Salles's On the Road, when it's released in the U.S. sometime this fall/winter.)"

The Imaginary War Between Jennifer Lawrence and Kristen Stewart
The part of Peyton had been coveted by Jennifer Lawrence, but Lawrence will spend the better part of the next year shooting sequels. (Catching Fire ignites this fall, while a new X-Men film at Fox commences shooting in January.)
Kristen will remain not having an Oscar nomination.
God, they should just scrap the movie and wait until Queen Jen has time again to shoot it. Kristen Stewart is a horrible actress. Even a Golden Globe nomination would give her too much credit.
