Moderator Post: Announcement

We had been waiting for an official word from Voltage Pictures for more details on what is happening with 'Cali' to make a decision on this fan-site.

We did start this fan-site for 'Cali' ultimately because we're fans of Kristen Stewart & wanted to support her in this project. 

Therefore, without her involvement in this project we have decided that we will not be continuing with this fan-site.

We will continue to love and support Kristen and hope to bring you another fan-site in the future for one of her projects as we have no doubt that she will have a long successful career.

We wish all involved with the production of 'Cali' good luck, if it is still in some stage of production.

If anyone would like to continue with the fan-site please contact us via email (details on our 'Contact Us' page) and we can organise to hand it over to you.

Thank you to all who have supported Kristen and 'Cali' and our fan-site. We did love bringing you all the updates on this project.

First notice came via GossipCop 

Kristen Stewart is dropping out of the upcoming movie Cali, a source exclusively tells Gossip Cop.

We’ve reached out for a comment from the actress’ camp, but have not heard back.

Gossip Cop is told that Amber Heard has been asked to join the cast, although it’s not confirmed whether she’d be taking the part.

Heard’s rep would not comment.

The film, with Alex Pettyfer set to play the male lead, will be directed by Nick Cassavetes and revolves around lovers who sell a fake snuff film and run away, only to return to Los Angeles years later to rescue the woman’s younger sister from bad guys.

We’re checking to confirm whether Stewart, reportedly a producer on the film, is still involved in that capacity.

Gossip Cop also reached out to Voltage Productions, the company behind Cali.

Voltage declined to confirm Stewart’s status, but oddly noted that an announcement would be made soon.

Kristen mentions 'Cali' in One Magazine (France)

Why did you decide to play a porn actress in your next film?

Because the script was totally crazy ! I've always been attracted to strange things. Nick Cassavetes asked me to play in Cali and to play the role of a girl not so pure that will nonetheless try eerything in order to save her kid sister kidnapped by criminals. I'm training with a coach right now getting myself ready for the shooting. I'm going to dye my hair blonde and physically shape myself as a sexy porn star. The script is really extreme but i love to read something where identify myself as a character so different than me.
