Billy Morrison mentions working on 'K-11' in his blog

So I am sitting here in my trailer on the set of K-11 – dressed and ready to shoot. And now we wait. There’s a lot of waiting on the set of a movie, but I really don’t mind. It gives me time to reflect on the last few days.

And that brings me back to today and the first proper day of shooting for me on K-11. I’ve told you how excited I am to be a part of this movie, and I am so very lucky to get the opportunity to act again. I truly love acting and embrace every opportunity I get to do it, to learn from people that are good at it, to soak up the atmosphere of being ‘on set’ ….. Very similar to being ‘backstage’ at a show. And here I am again, in my own little trailer, passing the time by writing a blog, taking pics for Twitter and Facebook, and loving every minute of it. I think I’ll go for a wander around the set and see what’s cooking. For now, have a great rest of the week, work hard, play hard, and I’ll be back soon.

K-11 Keeps Working Kristen Stewart Connection! (E!Online)

And so another game of he said/she said concerning our girl Kristen Stewart begins!

While sources very in-the-know about K.Stew's movie schedule told us that the Twilight babe wasn't planning on biting into a role in her mom's directorial debut (and hadn't been in a tres long time), peeps working on K-11 are singing a totally different tune.

So what's the word this time? And does it even matter?

A rep for K-11 tells us exclusively that, "Kristen was originally attached to participate but is unable to because of her shooting schedule with Snow White and The Huntsman. She is still wildly supportive of K-11 and Jules Stewart's directorial debut and her brother's [Cameron Stewart] theatrical debut."

Well, duh. Of course she's happy her fam is finding T-town success. We are, too!

And we certainly never said otherwise. Just that her connection to the film lasted a lot longer than she ever did. But that's the exact deet that is up for dispute: how long exactly was Kristen attached to star in the flick?

"Kristen had always planned to do K-11," a source close to the film promises. "It's all not as sensational as posted, but the simple reality is that it came down to a scheduling conflict."

Point is: They want you to know that if she weren't wielding a sword opposite Chris Hemsworth, she'd be getting acquainted with the inner workings of the L.A. prison system right about now.

So see the movie! Because it's what K.Stew would want you to do!

And we still say we think the slammer stuff is more K.Stew's speed anyways. 'Cause the role she was supposed to play is described as "a beautiful young waif named Butterfly" who, get this, is a transgender man.

How chic-ly controversial, no?

And to the actress playing Butterfly now—that's Portia Doubleday—we wish you luck, babe! You've got some big, Stewart shoes to fill.

Craig Owens joins the cast of 'K-11'

Several weeks ago, D.R.U.G.S. lead vocalist Craig Owens announced that he would be canceling several dates on the Vans Warped Tour to take part in an independent film project. Fans all over were either excited to see their favorite vocalist getting some time on the silver screen, or they were livid with the lack of commitment to the current tour the band has been on. Regardless, I think we are all interested in what the movie is all about and the part Craig has to play. So, With some digging, I’ve found some information on the film and Craig’s character. NOTE: UPDATES ARE FOUND ON THE BOTTOM OF THE POST

The film is tentatively called K-11 (Official poster found at the bottom of this article). It is directed and co-written by Jules Mann-Stewart, mother of Twilight star Kristen Stewart. The fan site for the film gives us a short synopsis that reads as such:

When successful record producer Jay Richmond, is jailed for suspicion of murder, he is assigned to the most bizarre unit in all of L.A. county lock up. K-11 houses the dregs of the inmate class – transvestites, transsexuals, and the occasional high profile celebrity – prisoners who wouldn’t be safe anywhere else in the system. Jay’s own incarceration there forces him to endure the alien culture and the dangerous politics of Officer Johnson and cellblock leader Mousie.

Not much has been publicly released on Craig’s roll in the film, I figure this means his role is quite small. From what I’ve gathered, he plays a washed up pop star who inevitably is murdered. I’ve read through the first several pages of the script as I understand it, Craig plays a character named Daniel. If the film stays true to the original script, Craig will be in the first several minutes of the movie and in a few explanatory scenes throughout. Craig has finished his scenes for the movie and is back on Warped Tour now. The film will premiere at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival which opens on February 9, 2012. Under the Gun will be following the film for any more news on Craig Owens’ role.

UPDATE: We incorrectly identified Craig as playing the role of Daniel, when, in fact, he is playing the part of singer/songwriter Ian Sheffield.

Also, an official synopsis of the film has popped up:

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.
