In a post from the NY Times, the film Man Under that is currently under development lists Kristen Stewart as playing the role of Joy Lowe. Not much information is available on this project, but other actors listed as involved include Collin Firth, and Julianne Moore.
Kristen Stewart is now attached to star in A TAXONOMY OF BARNACLES, a new comedy written by Amy Lippman and directed by Nanette Burstein (Going the Distance). Earlier this year, TB first reported that Stewart was offered to join the film. Offers and interest are still out for Jeff Bridges and Anne Hathaway to join the pic. The story follows six sisters who are given a challenge by their self-made father to see who will inherit his fortune. Stewart is set to play Beth Barnacle, a pot-smoking purple-haired lesbian who suffers the defeat of unrequited love. The project is set up at Sony with Team Todd (Alice in Wonderland) and Plum Pictures (The Kids Are All Right) producing. The pic is based on the novel “A Taxonomy of Barnacles” written by Galt Nierderhoffer. It was previously set up at Revolution Studios. Stewart, who is repped by Gersh, can be seen later this year in part one of the final chapter in the “Twilight” series “Breaking Dawn”. She is currently in production on “Snow White and the Huntsman”, a Universal Pictures revisionist project. She recently wrapped the silver screen adaptation of “On the Road” for director Walter Salles.”

Anna Kendrick joins the cast of Robert Redford’s ‘The Company You Keep’
Anna Kendrick has reportedly joined the cast of the Robert Redford’s upcoming film The Company You Keep, which already stars Redford, Shia LeBeouf, Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci, and loads more! Congrats to Anna! Here’s more on the plot and the cast from The Playlist:
Penned by the excellent Lem Dobbs (”Kafka,” “The Limey,” “Haywire”) the story follows a former Weather Underground militant Jim Grant (Redford, naturally) wanted by the FBI for 30 years for a Bank Of Michigan robbery, who must go on the run when his true identity is exposed by a young, ambitious reporter hell-bent on making a name for himself (Shia LaBeouf, surprisingly). The cast thus far has mostly been stacked with older faces like Nick Nolte, Susan Sarandon, Julie Christie, Richard Jenkins, Stephen Root, Stanley Tucciand Chris Cooper with rising star Brit Marling along for the ride as well, but with filming now underway, the final pieces of the casting puzzle have been put into place.
In what is a pretty random mix of folks, Variety reports that Anna Kendrick, Terrence Howard, Brendan Gleeson, Sam Elliott and 11-year-old “America’s Got Talent” finalistJackie Evancho will round out the credits. Either Evancho has a good agent, or Redford watches “America’s Got Talent.”
Anyway, Kendrick will play an FBI agent who dishes intel to her ex-lover played by LaBeouf, while Howard is also a fed who has been tracking Grant across the country and is eager to bring him down. Gleeson plays retired Michigan Chief of Police Henry Osborne who first investigated the robbery back in the day. Apparently Christie works in “the marijuana trade” under Elliot who she used to have a relationship with as well, while newbie Evancho is Redford’s daughter, who isn’t aware of his past.
