Kristen Stewart Upset With Casey Anthony Comparisons

They both may have dark locks and pale complexions, but don't expect Kristen Stewart to take on the role of Casey Anthony in an movie adaptations of her life.

According to Us Weekly, rumors have popped up that Stewart could portray the recently aquitted Anthony, but the 'Twilight Saga' actress wants absolutely nothing to do with the story.

"Her people are really annoyed about the Casey Anthony comparisons," a source told the site. "Kristen wants that talk to blow over soon, because it looks really bad."

Anthony was accused of murdering her daughter, but was aquitted earlier this week in a shocking court ruling. She is expected to be released from jail on July 17.

Like those in the center of other high profile court cases, a bidding war to get exclusive interviews and rights to her story is expected to heat up, leaving many wondering who could play the 25-year-old woman.

"She would never for no amount of money portray that girl," the source said about Stewart. "It's grossing her out. All those entertainment shows are doing polls and what not and her people just want it to stop!"

Stewart, who recently wrapped filming on 'Breaking Dawn: Part 2,' is now headed to the big screen in another big-budget film: 'Snow White and the Huntsman,' with co-stars Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron.

KStew's non-vampire movies are boxofficebombs, so it would be cashflow to hire Casey Anthony to co-star with her in a remake of the French lesbian vampire classic "Blood and Roses" (with Bristol Palin and Lindsay Lohan as the rival DroolQueens, and Rob Pattinson as Baby Teethatha), her love scenes with Casey would be hotter than Rob ever twi-lit her

. It is a good idea. If she drowned in a swimming pool then in could be possibly an accident. most children 2 years old can't swim and you hear accidental drownings all the time, but to make it look like a murder makes the public outraged. if in fact there was no pool involved and you find duct tape on a kid with chlorophorm then definately murder http://bit.ly/qw9d35

Kristen, never say never. There is the real world out there filled with despots and murderers and actors and actresses have played them very effectively. Forrest Whitaker played the evil dictator, Idi Amin Dada and won an Oscar for the part. Charlize Theron played serial killer Aileen Wuornos and won an Oscar for the part. And then there Tony Curtis playing the Boston Strangler. And let's not forget actors who have portrayed Charles Manson, Richard Ramirez, the Son of Sam, and on and on and on. As an actress, you are suppose to extend your skills because not all things are vampires and werewolves. Many would perhaps seeing the part where Casey Anthony is speaking to her parents while in holding as her frustrations boil over because she isn't given a chance to speak. If there is a future project on this, think long and hard, it could be something worth doing.

Absolutely, Three... Meredith Baxter-Birney played killer Betty Broderick and did an EXCELLENT job with it... I say go for it, Kristen... every role is not meant to be the "girl next door". Get some "meat" roles and get that Oscar :)

Never say never Kristen. Just imagine you playing the scene of Casey talking to her parents at the jail holding cell and she gets so frustrated when she makes the claim that nobody is letting her speak. You're an actress, you get paid to act and if the part is well written, why wouldn't you want to take the part? There have been many better actors and actresses who have taken on the role of despicable despots, murderers, etc. Forrest Whitaker won an Oscar playing the dictator, Idi Amin Dada. Charlize Theron played Aileen Wuornos the serial killer and won an Oscar. Tony Curtis played the Boston Strangler and the list goes on an on of actors playing Charles Manson, Bonnie and Clyde, The Son of Sam, Richard Ramirez, and on and on and on. So before you dismiss this on ego, just remember why you do what you do because the real world is not about vampires and werewolves. Not every character portrayal has to be a likable one. This is how you stretch your acting chops.

I left a comment earlier. I'm sure it wasn't that offensive. but it was to the point. WTF happened to it?

I have heard Ms. Stewart's name mentioned only with a group of other young hollywood starlets who could possibly play the roll because of a preceived, by the tabloid media, physical similarity to Ms. Anthony. That is the extent of any such "comparison" I have heard. I think Ms. Stewart needs to get over herself a little bit.

I think she needs to get over herself a lot. It comes with the territory; whenever there's a big scandal, sexual, criminal or other, the American public absolutely loves to play the "Who could play who in the movie" game, since a movie inevitably follows. If she complains enough, she won't have to worry about being cast in anything.

You are probably correct. My hope, and this as a fellow human being because I can not claim to be a fan, don't know that I have ever seen a movie in which she has had a part, is that some fool tossed the questions out to her. As in.... "What do you think of the comparison between you and Casey Anthony? Will you play her?" To which she might have responded negatively and hence the story is born. Unfortunately our appetite for celebrity, scandal and strife is just out of control be it real or fabricated and I have no clue which this is. While much of the media is to blame, we all share responsibility as we are comsumers and drive the market as the celebrities themselves. Stop believing your own press, stop taking yourself so seriously, stop seeking attention at all costs and simply say "no comment" when someone asks you a stupid question.

I'm not a Kristen fan, but I applaud her for not wanting to participate in the movie. IS ANYONE EVEN GOING TO WATCH IT?!?! I'm also not sure there's a production company that would be suicidal enough to produce that movie. This is just too ridiculous to even fathom!

The only positive thing about this entire trial is that this Anthony woman can never have a normal life. She's going to be recognized and harassed wherever she goes from this point on. She'll probably have to change her name. Her life is over--just like little Caylee's life. Poetic, almost.

First of all, Kristen is a beautiful woman, so from that standpoint, there is no comparison. That being said, if a movie were to be made (so long as Casey Anthony were not being compensated in any fashion), I think Kristen would do a great job because she appears to be a fine actress. Though I respect her not wanting to play such a role.

Kristin looks nothing like CA, brunette that is about all. This is a job for Lindsey Lohan ! No one likes her, she needs the scratch, and she is very willing to color her hair. LL for CA !

While this woman appears to be articulate, I'm sure there will be similar statements made by actresses in the future, but they will all be for naught when it becomes apparent that those same actresses will sign on to play Casey. I'm sure their excuses will be something along the lines of this: Casey was criticized by the media; she was convicted by the media unfairly; Casey needs someone to tell her story and I am that actress; and, oh yeah, the money.

When we all start boycotting these mindless reality shows, stop supporting those signing $400 million contracts to spew right-wing and left-wing hate mongering and heal ourselves of this pathological celebrity addiction, we will have made a major step in our evolution in this country and perhaps can focus on solving, in unity, the humongous-beyond-humongous problems facing our future. Good start Kristen!

Wrong. It would be about acting, and no different than playing any other villainous murderous character. Steve Railsback played both Manson and Ed Gein, and did both very believably, that doesnt mean he is actually like either man, he's just a very good actor. Andy Robinson is one of the nicest people on the planet, but people used to spit on him for playing the Scorpio killer in "Dirty Harry" and being too believable. Charlize Theron gave a brilliant Oscar winning performance portraying Eileen Wuornos in "Monster", and Wuornos wasnt any more likeable or empathetic than Casey Anthony, and it happened in the same state. Ditto the dark masterpiece "Bully", about the very shocking slaughter of Bobby Kent in Florida. Should actors also refuse the role of Oswald, or Bin Laden, or Hitler, or anyone else despised by the majority? or should this particular story never be portrayed in a fictional film? If done right, it could be quite compelling. If an event as horrific as 9/11 is open for fictionalization, then this story is too, as long as it is hopefully done with the proper amount of taste (as "Monster" was). My vote is for Fairuza Balk, who looks very much like Casey, who can be very scary just with her eyes and facial expressions (watch "The Craft" for proof of that), and who might just be courageous enough to tackle such a role.

Good. Guilty or not guilty, she neglected her little girl for a "beautiful life" and that's evident and sick! I wouldn't pay anything that could possibly earn Casey royalties.
