Kristen to star in comedy

December 10, 2012

Kristen Stewart has been confirmed for a role in the comedy Focus alongside Ben Affleck.

The brunette beauty told the Huffington Post: "I can confirm that rumour. It’s a comedy. I’m really excited about it. We start shooting in April."

According to Deadline, Stewart will play "an inexperienced con artist who hooks up with the more seasoned Affleck" in a film written and directed by Crazy, Stupid, Love’s Glenn Ficarra and John Requa.

Stewart has been eager to get to work since her promotional duties for The Twilight Saga ended in November, and added that she would "love to find some micro-project before then, because April is kind of a ways away".

The Snow White and the Huntsman actress has previously admitted that she is stressed about her post-Twilight career, confessing: "I’m kinda desperate to get a job right now. I’m itching to get back to work."
