Kristen Stewart Won't Get Murderous In 'K-11' (MTV articles, inc Video)

Everyone put on your Disappointment Pants: Kristen Stewart, despite earlier rumors to the contrary, will NOT be appearing as a homicidal transgendered prison inmate in "K-11." But even without Kristen on board, there's still a whole lotta Stewart in this movie! Kristen's mom, Jules Stewart, will direct the dark, gritty ensemble drama—and Variety reports that her older brother, Cameron Stewart, has joined the cast in his feature film debut.

A manly version of K-Stew? Hmm! There's only a teensy photo of Cameron attached to the story, but we definitely see some family resemblance between him and his famous sis.

Goran Visnjic, D.B. Sweeney and Portia Doubleday of "Youth in Revolt" are all attached to the movie as well, and shooting is currently taking place at an abandoned correctional facility. And despite the proliferation of Stewarts, don't be looking for a sweet family reunion in this film; Mama Stewart's directorial debut is serious business—we're talking rape, murder and prison riots.

At least we know where Kristen gets her taste for dark and daring roles.

Kristen Stewart Drops Out Of Transgender Indie 'K-11'

Film, directorial debut of Stewart's mother, will now feature her brother Cameron.

Any shot the public had at seeing Kristen Stewart playing a transsexual prisoner with autism is no more. We can't say we're surprised.

The "Twilight" star had long been involved with "K-11," the indie film about a rather unusual family that is set to be the directorial debut of Stewart's mother, Jules. But Variety now reports that as "K-11" finally moves forward after years in development, Bella Swan herself will not be involved in the production.

Stewart's departure marks the second "Twilight" actress to bow out of "K-11": Last year, Nikki Reed dropped out of the film, which both actresses had been involved with since at least 2008. MTV News broke the story on the project that November, when Reed kicked us word of the flick. "It's about a little-known section of the men's county jail," she said at the time. "I'm playing a man, and Kristen's playing a boy."

Though her daughter is no longer part of "K-11," which began filming earlier this month, Jules Stewart will be keeping the project in the family, as Kristen's older brother, Cameron, will be making his feature film debut in the film. He'll be joined by Goran Visnjic ("ER"), D.B. Sweeney ("Hard Ball") and Portia Doubleday ("Youth in Revolt").

In March of last year, before she had wrapped work on the "Twilight" series and signed up for Universal's "Snow White and the Huntsman," the actress was still hoping to take part in "K-11."

"Yeah, totally," Stewart told MTV News at the time. "It's just one of those things where you try and get a movie off the ground that's small.

"I don't know [whether it will get made]. Like, right now it's harder [to get indie films made]," she added. "It just never got legs. I still really hope to do it."

Cameron Stewart Joins 'K-11,' Kristen Stewart Not In Jules Mann-Stewart's Debut (Huffington Post)

Don't call him a mama's boy, but it may not be such a tough guess to figure out who the favored child in the Stewart household is right now.

Variety reports that "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart is not, contrary to rumors, a part of "K-11," the feature directorial debut of her mom, Jules Mann-Stewart. Who is involved? Goran Visnjic of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo," D.B. Sweeney Portia Doubleday... and Kristen's older brother, Cameron.

Making his major film debut, Cameron will play a jail inmate named Sledgehammer (thanks, mom!). Kristen was attached to star in the film for some time as a transsexual inmate (alongside "Twilight" co-star Nikki Reed), but she's just a bit busy, what with debuting two "Breaking Dawn" films, her "On The Road" adaptation and then filming "Snow White and the Huntsman."

Jules Mann-Stewart is a longtime Hollywood script supervisor, starting on TV movies in the late 80s and earning credits on films such as "Jingle All The Way," "Jack Frost," and "The Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas." She also did work on "The Sarah Silverman Program," which may help provide some darker shades for this film; here's the official synopsis, below:

Raymond Saxx (Goran Visnjic) has it all: an enviable career, a gorgeous loft, a sleek car, and a beautiful, young wife. He is one of the music industry's most powerful moguls who can turn an unknown act into a superstar overnight. But all of his money and influence can't save him from his own demons. His hedonistic lifestyle is fueled by greed and jealousy and amplified by reckless drug use that turns him against his latest creation, singer/songwriter Ian Sheffield (Craig Owens).

When Ray wakes up after a three-day binge, he finds himself in the Los Angeles County lock-up under the gaze of a beautiful young waif named Butterfly (Portia Doubleday) and only a hazy recollection of what may have landed him in jail. Butterfly, a transgender young man, explains to Ray that the "K-11" stamped on his hand is the unit where they send people who would be in danger if they were mixed in with the main jail population. "I like to think it's a sanctuary for broken toys," she says, "a home away from home."

Thus begins a nightmarish journey of survival for Ray Saxx, who must learn to navigate a new kind of power structure in a world whose "kingpin" is a transsexual viper named Mousey (Kate del Castillo). She maintains a tenuous share hold over K-11 with the brutalizing and corrupt jailer Lieutenant Johnson (D.B. Sweeney). The maddening circumstances in which Ray finds himself trapped in K-11 threaten to unravel him, until he finally gets his footing and realizes that these inmates aren't crazy.

Time is running out for Ray as snippets of his memory return and hint at the horror that landed him amidst the violence inside the K-11 unit. Ray is forced to decide whether to look out for himself or confront his past, and Lt. Johnson, neither of which he can do without the help of the social misfits and criminals of K-11.
