Hotlist 2012 winner Kristen Stewart has landed the lead role in Lie Down In Darkness, an adaptation of William Styron’s 1951 novel.
Stewart, who you voted Hottest Actress in this year’s Total Film Hotlist Awards, will play beautiful youngster Peyton Loftis in the film.
Suffering under the jealous loathing of her mother and the lustful advances of her alcoholic father, Peyton struggles against the twisted values of her dysfunctional family.
It’s a role that Jennifer Lawrence was campaigning hard for, but her commitments to the X-Men and Hunger Gamesfranchises have prevented her from signing on.
And any role that Lawrence is after has got to be a good one, so this is a real coup for Stewart, who’ll be looking to establish herself as a serious actress as the Twilightfilms come to a close this year.
Stewart can next be seen in another '50s indie film, On The Road, which opens in cinemas on 12 October 2012.

Never before has a film title more appropriately fit the lead actor. Or has it? This could be an interesting thread....

who voted her Hottest Actress?!?!? ...FFS. Think I might jump off a bridge if this is what the world is becoming. She's a f*****g oxygen theif whom Steven Segal could whoop in an expression pulling competition.
