Kristen Stewart is all set to lead Spanish filmmaker Albert Serra’s upcoming film. Last December, it was announced that Serra was planning to work on his next film, “Out of This World.” Now, it has been announced that the production of the film will begin this summer, with a 2025 premiere being eyed. The film will mark Serra’s English-language debut.
Serra is an acclaimed visionary auteur, primarily known for his work in the art-house and experimental film genres. The central theme of his movies is often historical or literary, which provides the viewers with a unique blend of minimalist and contemplative style. He has directed films like The Death of Louis XIV and Pacifiction, which showcase his distinctive approach to storytelling and visuals.
Now that Serra’s film Out of This World has secured funding, audiences will once again have the opportunity to dive into Serra’s artistic vision.
What is Albert Serra’s upcoming film starring Kristen Stewart all about?
Albert Serra’s upcoming film Out of This World finds Serra tackling the Russia/U.S. rivalry. The official synopsis of the film reads: “An American delegation travels to Russia in the midst of the Ukrainian war to try to find a solution to an economic dispute linked to sanctions. Out of This World explores the eternal rivalry between Russia and the USA.”
As mentioned, the film stars Kristen Stewart in the lead role. However, the details of her role in the film are kept under wraps. Apart from Serra’s upcoming film, the actress has also nabbed another big project directed by Panos Cosmatos. The film is a vampire thriller titled Flesh of the Gods, in which Stewart stars opposite Oscar Isaac.
In the September 2022 issue of Fotogramas (a Spanish Film Magazine), Serra admitted that Stewart was the actress he most wanted to work with. Not just that, he added, “it’s a possibility that is being studied.” His wish has just been realized.
Stewart first gained notice at age 12 for her role as the daughter of Jodie Foster’s character in David Fincher’s thriller Panic Room (2002). After appearing in such films as Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005) and Into the Wild (2007), she achieved global stardom for starring as Bella Swan in The Twilight Saga film series (2008–2012).
Her other acting credit includes Charlie’s Angels (2019), Happiest Season (2020), and Pablo Larraín’s biographical drama Spencer (2021). The latter earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
