A-list actress Kristen Stewart is set to direct her first film in Malta after being spotted on the island by some of her fans.
Stewart’s directorial debut, an adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir The Chronology of Water, will include scenes filmed in Malta as part of her decision to “detach” from Hollywood and shoot in Europe for this project.
The majority of the film will reportedly be shot in Latvia, with The Hollywood Reporter noting that Latvian sets will be transformed to resemble various American cities mentioned in the memoir, such as New York City and San Diego.
In a previous interview with Rolling Stone, Stewart described the film, which she also wrote, as “radical in a million ways.” The film is expected to address complex subjects such as childhood sexual abuse, queer romance, BDSM, and addiction.
Stewart has been trying to start production on this film for 7 years but never could finance it due to how radical the film was, however now that she has finally been given the opportunity to start production locals couldn’t be more excited to see Malta also star in her film.
