It seems that 'Cali' might be in development again (via Production Weekly). Kristen was announced in April 2012 to be starring in the project. In August 2012 Kristen dropped out of the project and it was never re-cast or done.
There is a new production company attached to 'Cali' and the 'American Ultra' director, Nima Nourizadeh, appears to be attached as director.
Internations Film Trust will present 'Seasons of Dust', with a cast including Robert Redford, Ewan McGregor, Kristen Stewart and James Franco. Tim Blake Nelson directs this film about Jancy, a headstrong girl from a dirt farm, and Ricky, an outlaw drifter. When Jancy's grandather commits suicide, she is forced to move in with a farm family where she barely escapes being raped. After badly injuring her attacker, she flees the town and meets the dashing criminal Ricky, the two embarking on a cross-country journey.

While nothing is confirmed as of yet, word on the street is that Kristen Stewart is gearing up to co-star alongside James Franco in a new indie film.
The movie is called Seasons of Dust, and according to our insider source, Kristen will play a character named Janey -- while James will play a brooding crook named Ricky.
As for the plot, the movie takes place around the time of the Great Depression. It all starts when Janey is forced to move-in with a farm family after her grandfather commits suicide. But, when the son tries to rape her, she injures him badly and flees the town unaware of whether or not the son is still alive. That's when she meets the dashing criminal Ricky -- and the two embark on a journey across the country as they must stay one step ahead of the law and two hired hit men who are hot on their trail.
Unfortunately, their trip seems destined to end in tragedy.
Kristen Stewart to star in Peter Sattler's CAMP X-RAY filming is scheduled to begin mid-July in LA.
