Kristen Stewart Sets Directorial Debut With Memoir Chronology Of Water

Kristen Stewart's feature directorial debut, The Chronology of Water, is finally happening. In 2018, Stewart first revealed her plans to write and direct an adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch’s 2011 memoir, The Chronology Of Water. In the following years, Stewart would struggle to secure financing for her passion project, partially because of her desire the shoot the film with a small crew of five people on a loose shooting schedule along the Oregon coast, where Yuknavitch is from.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Now, Deadline is the first to report that Stewart's long-awaited directorial debut, The Chronology Of Water, is finally happening with Imogen Poots set to star. Stewart will co-write the script with Andy Mingo based on Yuknavitch’s memoir. Ridley Scott's Scott Free banner will produce the project. In a statement, Stewart describes what the memoir means to her, why she feels it needed to be adapted to the screen, and her excitement regarding Poots' casting.

Lidia’s memoir honors corporeal experience, radically. To make that experience physical feels vital to me and what this impulse means … is that it absolutely must be a film. This project has been cooking for five years with the help of Scott Free, whom I could not be more privileged to have as partners and friends. Imogen Poots will carry this movie and the staggering weight of Lidia’s life. She can hold it. I am beyond lucky to have her.

In 2017, Stewart made the jump to directing with the short film Come Swim, which was produced by Scott Free. Now, Stewart will reunite with the Ridley Scott-backed production company for her feature directorial debut, The Chronology Of Water.

Stewart is fresh off perhaps the best performance of her career in Pablo Larraín's Spencer. The Twilight star's embodiment of Princess Diana earned her some of the best reviews of her career coupled with a slew of award nominations, including a surprise Oscar nod, beating out Lady Gaga for a slot in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role category.
