“The movie, K-11, takes place in the section of the Los Angeles county jail that holds gay inmates, keeping them segregated from the general prison population. (“K-11” is the official classification for a gay inmate.) (Kristen) Stewart, who stars as Bella in Twilight, will play a boy and (Nikki) Reed, Twilight’s Rosalie, will play a 30-year-old man. Stewart’s mom, veteran script supervisor Jules Stewart, will direct.
No word yet on the relationship, if any, between the two as prison inmates.
“I play a 30 year-old man,” Reed told ReelzChannel, “I’m going to be covered head-to-toe in tattoos. I’m going to be aged. I have scruff, I have [thicker] eyebrows and I’m a meth addict. Everything about my physical being right now will not be a part of that character.”
“K-11 takes place in a dorm of the L.A. County jail,” Stewart adds. “It’s where you go if you can’t be put into the general population. It’s full of really eccentric, crazy characters. Nikki and I play two of them. Jason Mewes wakes up in this place, doesn’t know where he is and tries to get out for two weeks to see if he can integrate himself into the community. It’s this really, really sweet but really screwed up little family going on in there.”
The ambitious project will be directed by Stewart’s mother, Jules Stewart. More to come as we hear it on this intriguing movie.”
“Jules Stewart is directing; that’s her mother,” Reed explained of Kristen’s Australian-born mom, the veteran script supervisor behind such films as “Are We There Yet?” and “The Straight Story”. “I have full faith in Jules. I suppose I would be [nervous about the handling of our transformations] if it were coming from left field, but I’ve known about the script for a very long time.”
