From 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.

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.

Gossip Cop will continue to track the story and have updates.

From Variety_JLD:

Variety can confirm web chatter that Kristen Stewart has dropped out of CALI. No reason given. Reports of a replacement are premature.

PARIS — Kristen Stewart has played many new and varied roles in the recent past. She became a beatnik (in “On the Road”), a vampire bride (in the “Twilight” series), Snow White (in “Snow White and the Huntsman”) and Hollywood’s highest-paid actress (in real life), making $34.5 million in the 12 months ended May, according to Forbes. But few know that Stewart is now a fragrance aficionado, too.

She is the face of Balenciaga Paris’ new women’s scent, Florabotanica, which is due out in September. Given that Stewart had never been drawn to fragrance in the past, it was an unlikely part.

“On a base level, the reason you want to wear a fragrance is because you want to smell attractive,” said Stewart, sitting in a suite of Le Bristol hotel here, wearing a Balenciaga T-shirt, shorts and heels. “That in itself is a pretty mature idea, especially considering the teenager I was. I was never the one wearing my mom’s perfume and trying to be sexy. I was like hanging out with my brothers and doing the opposite of that.

Nick Cassavetes ("The Notebook") will direct the gritty action pic "Cali," for which Kristen Stewart is set to star.

Voltage Prods. and New School Media are producing the Michael Diliberti-scripted pic, which follows a pair of San Fernando Valley lovebirds who sell a fake snuff film and ride off with a bundle of cash. Years later, the girl (Stewart) must "return from the dead" to save the younger sister she left behind.

Craig J. Flores ("300") and Zev Foreman ("Killer Joe") will produce for Voltage, while Diliberti will also produce. His manager, Brian Levy of New School Media, will exec produce with Voltage co-owner Nicolas Chartier and Stewart, who will pick up her first producing credit on the project.

Diliberti developed the script on spec before it was acquired by Voltage, which attached Stewart. Voltage will be selling the film at the Cannes Film Market, and producers are anticipating a late summer start.

"Nick's the perfect director for this gritty, LA-based story, and will smartly balance the dynamic action with a true love story. Nick's record of working with top talent continues here in his collaboration with Kristen Stewart," said Foreman.

Cassavetes is best known for directing the hit Nicholas Sparks adaptation "The Notebook," as well as the true crime tale "Alpha Dog." He most recently wrapped "Yellow," which he co-wrote with his wife Heather Wahlquist, who also toplines the indie drama. Cassavetes is an actor as well, and he most recently appeared in Todd Phillips' comedy "The Hangover Part II."

Cassavetes is repped by ICM.

From Variety:

“Snow White and the Huntsman” star Kristen Stewart is set to topline “Cali,” a gritty action pic set in Los Angeles that will be produced by Voltage Productions and New School Media.

Michael Diliberti (“30 Minutes or Less”) wrote the script, which follows Mya (Stewart) and Chris, a pair of San Fernando Valley lovebirds with a penchant for bad choices and dangerous behavior. After selling a fake snuff film featuring Mya, they ride off into the sunset with a bundle of cash. Years later, Mya must “return from the dead” to save the younger sister she left behind in Cali, where the young couple contends with angry former business partners, homicidal porn stars, stoner vet techs, an unstoppable killing machine in a cowboy hat and their own contentious relationship.

Craig J. Flores (“300″) and Zev Foreman (“Killer Joe”) will produce for Voltage, while Diliberti will also produce. His manager, Brian Levy of New School Media, will exec produce with Voltage topper Nicolas Chartier (“The Hurt Locker”) and Stewart, who will pick up her first producing credit on the project.
