How fun! I have been interested to see this short for a while!

The Twilight Saga’s Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning will be seen on screen yet again at the HollyShorts film fest, where a short in which they act “Cutlass”, will be screened on opening night. The film (directed by Kate Hudson) released in 2007, quite some time before the pair worked together on “The Twilight Saga: New Moon”, the film set most commonly linked to their acquaintance. Subsequent to their work on “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”, they went on to co-star in “The Runaways” in which Stewart played Joan Jett and Fanning played real-life bandmate Cherie Currie.

With a mission of “showcasing the best and brightest short films from around the globe”, the 7th annual HollyShorts Film Festival will run from August 11th to 18th in Hollywood. Other opening night features will include shorts directed by Jennifer Aniston, Rachel Weisz, and Kristen Kiwi Smith, and acted by Robin Wright, Kris Kristofferson, Rosemarie DeWitt, and Anna Faris, among others.

“Cutlass” follows a middle-aged woman, Robin (played by Virginia Madsen) as she reminisces about her teenage years and her first car, an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. The tale is told alongside Robin’s consideration of her own daughter, Lacy, as she comes of age. Stewart plays a young Robin. Fanning plays teenager Lacy.

Kim Palacios from HollywoodNews.com did an article on speculations as to whether or not Kristen will still be starring in her mother’s film K-11.

“K-11” is the baby of Jules Mann-Stewart, writer/director of the film and mother of “Twilight” mega-star, Kristen. The film appeared to be building steam after Variety’s March announcement that the project had finally secured financing. Yet, several recent developments indicate that Stewart will not be starring in the film, as had originally been believed.

For months, IMDB Pro had “K-11” listed as a rumored project for Stewart, referencing her role as that of autistic transgender prison inmate Butterfly. Not only has IMDB Pro removed this listing from Stewart’s profile in recent weeks—it has kept listings of other rumored cast, such as Goran Visnjic and D.B. Sweeney.

Another indicator: actor-targeted computer app, Actsophia, posted a casting call announcement on its Facebook page on June 1st, announcing that “Pam Dixon is casting “K-11”” and mentioning role descriptions including this one: “BUTTERFLY 19 Redhead Tiny Beauty”.

In terms of Stewart’s production schedule, “Snow White and the Huntsman” is slated to begin shooting in September. Stewart is also listed for a role in “Backwoods”, a short that is also slated to be played by Julianne Moore. “K-11” was originally slated to begin filming in June or July, yet concrete cast details remain nonexistent.

Also casting doubt on Stewart’s intention to act in the film is the fact that her role as Butterfly was rarely (if ever) discussed by Stewart herself. It was mostly discussed by Stewart’s “Twilight” co-star Nikki Reed, who first commented in March 2009 to MTV News: “Kristen is playing a boy, and I am playing a man who is quite a few years older than she is. I am working more on my accent.” Reed since announced her departure from the project in April 2010.
