Kristen Stewart New Movie Crush Chloe Sevigny? 'Lizzie Borden' Casting Confirmed

Kristen Stewart and Chloe Sevigny will star in director Pieter Van Hees' upcoming thriller based on the chilling tale of Lizzie Borden. Creepy movie news right in time for Halloween weekend!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sevigny will play the young woman accused of brutally butchering her father and stepmother back in 1892. The former "Twilight" sweetheart will portray the family's live-in maid, Bridget Sullivan. As THR explains:

"Sullivan was a witness to the family tension, and may have been in the home when the murders were committed. She testified at the trial."

The (yet untitled) psychological murder flick will "explore the events that led up to that night."

MstarsNews readers remember the grisly rhyme, right?

Lizzie Borden took an ax/and gave her mother 40 whacks/when the job was finally done/she gave her father 41.

Borden was ultimately acquitted of such crimes, but several people still think that she killed her family because she was involved in a secret lesbian romance with Sullivan.

Check out more details below:

- Producer: Naomi Despres (Kill the Messenger), with Playtone executive producing.

- The Solution will sell the project at the upcoming American Film Market.

- WME repping domestically.

Borden's tale has been adapted for TV and film, most recently the 2014 TV movie starring Christina Ricci.

Sevigny currently stars in American Horror Story: Hotel and she once snagged a Golden Globe for "Best Supporting Actress" in HBO's hit series Big Love.

Rumors currently suggest that Robert Pattinson's ex just broke things off with girlfriend, Alicia Cargile. But obviously she's keeping very busy in Hollywood! Stewart's also working on a new Woody Allen film alongside Jesse Eisenberg.

Stay tuned as more details about this bloody flick develop!
