Kristen Stewart will be turning into the influential writer, philosopher and political activist Susan Sontag in a meta biopic directed by Kirsten Johnson. As Variety notes, Sontag was an influential writer and intellectual who would often distill complex ideas about human rights and social justice into clear-headed essays. Her nonfiction work, which brought light to social issues like the AIDS epidemic and criticism of the Vietnam War, was often met with controversy.
“We’re using Berlin as a moment to kick off the project and do documentary footage of Kristen as the head of the jury and talking to her about how she’s going to become Sontag,” said Brouhaha Entertainment’s Gabrielle Tana. “It will be a drama, but with a documentary aspect to it. Kirsten has a wonderful approach to storytelling, and this is reflective of that, so she will use documentary in it.”
The feature is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography Sontag: Her Life by Ben Moser. It will be adapted for the screen by Johnson and Lisa Kron. UK-Australia-based Brouhaha Entertainment will serve as producer for the biopic which will start filming at the Berlin Film Festival.
Meanwhile on the work front, Stewart shot to fame through Twilight films. Her other work credits include Clouds of Sils Maria, Personal Shopper, Still Alice and Crimes of the Future. She will next star in romantic thriller Love Lies Bleeding, and also make her feature directorial debut with The Chronology of Water.
