Fresh from her Sundance Festival debut of her latest film "Camp X-Ray," Kristin Stewart bags another film playing opposite Julianne Moore. Based on a book adaptation written by Lisa Genova, 'Still Alice" is a story about a university professor played by Moore at her early stages of Alzheimer.

Moore recently joined the high powered cast of "Still Alice" including the "Twilight" star Kristin Stewart who will play her youngest daughter. Stewart was reportedly excited to star alongside Moore who plays Robert Pattinson's older lover in "Maps to the Stars."

"Kristen is super excited to work with Julianne Moore," reveals one of Stewart's friends. "It's just been confirmed that she will play the part of her daughter in a movie called Still Alice. They will film in New York and Kristen plans on bringing her dog Bailey, who may have a part in the film."

Stewart will play as Lydia, Moore's youngest daughter in the film and both stars will play opposite Alec Baldwin and Kate Bosworth. The busy brunette's adorable puppy Bailey will also have a role in the film according to a source from HollywoodLife.com.

The film adaptation of the book is set to begin production in mid-February and it centers about the struggle of a 50-year-old psychology professor on the early onset of Alzheimer's disease. The shooting will be based in New York and it will be distributed worldwide by Memento Films International.

The book has been translated into more than 25 languages and is the writing debut of Genova. "Still Alice" is Genova's attempt to use her doctorate in neuroscience from Harvard University and incorporate it with her writing skills. The upcoming film will be directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Washnigton, the same duo who directed and wrote "The last Robin Hood."

Here's the book synopsis taken from istoktobeyou.org:

"Alice Howland, happily married with three grown children and a house on the Cape, is a celebrated Harvard professor at the height of her career when she notices a forgetfulness creeping into her life. As confusion starts to cloud her thinking and her memory begins to fail her, she receives a devastating diagnosis: early onset Alzheimer's disease. Fiercely independent, Alice struggles to maintain her lifestyle and live in the moment, even as her sense of self is being stripped away. In turns heartbreaking, inspiring and terrifying, Still Alice captures in remarkable detail what's it's like to literally lose your mind..."
