Kristen Stewart Drops Out of 'Cali'

The scandal is now truly affecting her career outside of 'Twilight'

Huffington Post reports that Kristen Stewart has dropped out of the leading role in 'Cali,' her upcoming project with director Nick Cassavetes ('My Sister's Keeper,' 'The Notebook') and co-star Alex Pettyfer ('Magic Mike'):

Stewart was set to star in the movie about San Fernando Valley lovers Mya (Stewart) and Chris (Alex Pettyfer), who sell a fake snuff film and escape with the cash only to "return from the dead" to save the younger sister Mya left behind.

GossipCop reports that Amber Heard has been asked to join the "Cali" cast, but it remains unclear whether Heard will take over Stewart's part.

According to the film's IMDb profile, Stewart is also credited as an executive producer. There is no word whether she will remain a part of the film in this capacity.

"Hopefully after all of this we can go and we can do it in the summer, like lock ourselves away for a few weeks in the Valley [in L.A.] in a little production office and get together really weird, freaky actor people," Stewart previously told MTV while promoting "Snow White and the Huntsman," the film that brought her and Sanders together. "It's filled with like the coolest characters."
