Since landing the role of the accident-prone heroine in "The Twilight Saga," Kristen Stewart has sought gritty indie roles that test her acting abilities and cause a stir among fans, the first being her role as a stripper and prostitute in "Welcome to the Rileys." She then cut off her long locks and donned a choppy, black bob to play Joan Jett in "The Runaways." And later this year, she'll portray 16-year-old marijuana enthusiast Marylou in the film adaptation of Jack Kerouac's novel, "On the Road."

But that's just the beginning for the 22-year-old actress. According to Variety, Stewart is set to star in the bold action flick "Cali."

The film centers on Mya (Stewart) and Chris, a couple from San Fernando Valley who sell a fake snuff film and disappear with the money. But Mya — who's thought to be dead — must head back to Cali years later to save the younger sister she left behind. When she and Chris return, they're faced with an array of characters, including "angry former business partners, homicidal porn stars, stoner vet techs [and] an unstoppable killing machine in a cowboy hat."

Michael Diliberti ("30 Minutes or Less") penned the script and will produce along with Voltage Production's Craig J. Flores ("300") and Zev Foreman. New School Media's Brian Levy is the executive producer alongside Nicolas Chartier ("The Hurt Locker") of Voltage and Stewart herself. This will be the actress' first producing credit.

"Kristen is a talented and dynamic actor, with a proved box office draw," Flores told Variety. "Her role in 'Cali' will be edgy and sexy. It will no doubt push the envelope on the public's view of Kristen's wide-ranging abilities. Voltage is thrilled to have her as a partner on this fantastic film."

The project is still in the early stages of development, so there's no release date yet, but audiences can catch the actress in "Snow White and the Huntsman" in theaters June 1. Later, Stewart's dynamic year will continue when she reprises her role as Bella Cullen in

"Breaking Dawn - Part 2" on November 16. Which KStew movie are you most excited to see this year? Leave your comment below!

South Korea opens up cellphone sales, networks wary of the 'free market'

South Korea's Communications Commission is wresting control of the domestic cellphone market away from operators. From May 1st, it is opening the handset business open to any vendor, who will sell phones unlocked so consumers can decide their choice of network. The plan is aimed at lowering prices by introducing competition between the retailers -- although some voices in the industry have expressed concerns that the operators will withdraw discounted offers in retaliation. Naturally, the KCC is determined to ensure a better deal for consumers, and is already strong-arming wayward networks into ensuring that doesn't happen.

Canon reports slightly higher profits in Q1, teases new compact cameras on the way

Canon reported its Q1 2012 earnings this week, and things certainly appear to have gone better than the last time we checked in when it replaced the company president. While revenue declined slightly, net profit reached 61.54 billion yen ($766 million), up 11 percent from a year ago. There's no executive moves to report, however on the earnings call executive VP and CFO Toshizo Tanaka noted a unit sales increase of 30 percent for SLR cameras including the new EOS 5D Mark III as well as the cheaper T3i, Mark II and 60D models, combined with strong sales for WiFi-connected point-and-shoots. As far as new products, while its new cinema cameras got a glancing mention the plan this year includes compact cameras "offering the image qualities that approaches SLR cameras", with improved design and network connectivity features. All the numbers and earnings call talk are in black and white at the links below, although we prefer to spend our time speculating about the future of mirrorless cameras.

HTC Titan II Review: Initial Impressions (Hands-On Photos)

IMG_0009The Titan II is yet another success for the hardware team over at HTC. It feels excellent in the hand, even if it's huge, has a nice balanced weight to it, and the little chin at the bottom gives it some extra pizazz when lined up against other designs on store shelves. It calls to me. But there are a few issues, as is the case with most any phone. The first, and most important one, is the screen size vs. resolution. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Microsoft, please push out Apollo so that your hardware partners aren't stuck slapping a 480x800 WP build onto a massive display.
