Kristen Stewart has come a long way since the awkward, washed-out days of Twilight. So far, in fact, that she's exiting the world of acting, if only for a moment, to try her hand at directing. And for anyone who doubted her talents, the first trailer for Stewart's directorial debut, has officially arrived. So what can we expect from the film? Below, we've outlined everything we know about The Chronology of Water so far.
Watch the trailer for The Chronology of Water
What is The Chronology of Water about?
Kristen Stewart is tackling Lidia Yuknavitch's memoir The Chronology of Water for her directorial debut. In terms of what we can expect, the source material explores issues of gender, sexuality, violence and family all through the lens of a career swimmer-cum-artist. Yuknavitch taps into the toll extreme grief can take on a young, queer woman coming to terms with her sexuality; through a journey of addiction, self-destruction and ultimately survival.
It's easy to see why Stewart is drawn to the novel. In fact, according to Variety, she even said that The Chronology of Water is "something I would have wanted to be cast in when I was younger.”
Who has been cast in the film?
Leading the cast is Imogen Poots as Yuknavitch. She's joined by Jim Belushi, Thora Birch, Charlie Carrick, Susannah Flood, Kim Gordon and Tom Sturridge.
Has a release date been set?
The Chronology of Water will be with us before too long. There's a limited release on December 5, 2025, followed by a wider cinematic release on January 9, 2026.
Until then, you can fill the void with our favourite Kristen Stewarts hair moments.
