A little while ago, we told you HERE that two major actresses were competing for the role of Peyton Lofties in the movie Lie Down in Darkness.

Today, it’s been announced that Kristen Stewart will be playing the lead role in the movie, which is an adaptation of a 1951 book.

Apparently, although the producers were interested in casting Jennifer, she had to turn down the role because of her busy filming schedule.

Next year, Jen will be working on Catching Fire and an X-Men sequel, so she just doesn’t have time to do this movie as well.

It’s great news for Kristen Stewart, who’s obviously been having a tough couple of weeks.
