Kristen Stewart Catches a Flight Amid 'Equal' Casting News!

Kristen Stewart heads into LAX Airport with her bodyguard to catch a flight out of town on Thursday afternoon (January 16) in Los Angeles.

It was just announced that the 23-year-old actress has signed on to star in Equals, which she described as a slightly updated version of the 1956 movie 1984. The movie will be directed by Like Crazy‘s Drake Doremus and will also star Nicholas Hoult.

“I can’t believe I agreed to do it… I’m terrified of it,” Kristen told the Associated Press. “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.”

“I trust Drake‘s process and I know we will do something really natural and real,” Kristen added. “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.”
