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. However, Stewart did not give up on the project and held out hope it would come
together sooner rather than later.
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. -Screenrant
