Kristen Stewart Says Her Intimate Scenes In Lesbian Thriller 'Love Lies Bleeding' Will 'Shock People'

Hollywood star Kristen Stewart has opened up about her upcoming movie, "Love Lies Bleeding."

In a new interview, she shared that the romantic thriller, which features lesbian love, will showcase "shocking" intimate scenes.

Stewart also mentioned that she was delighted that her character was portrayed more masculinely, adding that she found it "really sexy."

Stewart has revealed that her upcoming lesbian thriller, "Love Lies Bleeding," will be anything but basic.

The film is currently in post-production and is scheduled to be theatrically released in March of this year.

Speaking with Variety, the British Academy Film Award winner shared that the LGBTQ+ romance movie would "shock" viewers with the nature of its intimate scenes, showcasing a distinct style compared to the "rote" approach taken in typical romantic films.

"They don't take their clothes off, but this is going to shock people," the "Charlie's Angel" star said about the film.

She added, "All you ever see is a dress coming up and a head going down under. I think even hetero s-- on film is so rote... No one actually really wants to reveal themselves."

Stewart stars in the film as one of the main characters, Lou, and her romance with co-star Katy O'Brian (Jackie) will take center stage.

"Reclusive gym manager Lou falls hard for Jackie, an ambitious bodybuilder headed through town to Vegas in pursuit of her dream. But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou's criminal family," reads a synopsis of the film.

"Love Lies Bleeding" also features several notable stars, including Dave Franco, The Hunger Games' Jena Malone, and Anna Baryshnikov. It is directed by Rose Glass (Saint Maud) and co-written by her and Weronika Tofilska.

Film4 collaborated with the filmmakers to develop the project and co-financed it alongside A24, which is responsible for producing and managing the film's global release. Andrea Cornwell features in the project as a producer for Lobo Films, while Oliver Kassman represents Escape Plan Productions.

"Love Lies Bleeding" will also see Stewart's character portrayed more masculinely, contrasting with the traditionally feminine roles she has been known for since she debuted in the film industry.

According to the actress, she found this deviation from the norm to be "really sexy" and was "turned on by it."

She told Variety, "There was something about having the things that I have found attractive be really glorified. It was really sexy, and I don't mean from an outsider's perspective: I felt turned on by it, and it was cool to have people witness that."

Collaborating with Glass on the film seems to be a dream come true for Stewart, as she had previously expressed her admiration for the director in an interview before the start of production.

"She's such a singular visionary artist," Stewart said at the time, per the Playlist.

She added about Glass, "Such a little mousy, crazy, psycho – has so much to say, is absolutely going to change stuff for us. And I'm so excited to even just know her."

As for the actress's love life, she is currently engaged to Dylan Meyer, the daughter of Oscar-nominated screenwriter Nicholas Meyer, per People magazine.

The two initially crossed paths on a movie set in 2013, and they later reconnected years later through a mutual friend.

"I met her years ago on a movie, and I hadn't seen her in six years, and then she rocked up at a friend's birthday party, and I was like, 'Where have you been, and how have I not known you?' She's been living in L.A. alongside my life somehow but not ever converging," Stewart recalled their meeting during an appearance on "The Howard Stern Show" in November 2019.

Since confirming their relationship in 2019, Stewart and Dylan have flaunted their romance on Instagram, posting sweet tributes to each other. The two have also attended events together and enjoy going out with their friends.

Beyond their romance, Stewart and Dylan also share a working relationship, as the former once revealed that they are working on a TV show together and co-writing a film script.
