We Believe Kirstin Stewart When She Says She’s Writing a ‘Really Fucking Stupid’ Stoner Girl Comedy

To be fair to Kristen Stewart, how many stoner comedies have ever been called “smart”?

On Tuesday, Interview Magazine released the transcript of a Zoom conversation between the Twilight star and Rachel Sennott, the co-writer and star of the upcoming queer comedy Bottoms. Stewart, slightly high off the edible she ingested shortly prior to the interview, revealed a passion project that she’s been working on with her, fincée actor and screenwriter Dylan Meyer — a “really fucking stupid” stoner girl comedy.

She could have just said “stoner comedy.”

“Design the shit out of your process. That’s the only way to enjoy it,” Stewart advised the up-and-coming filmmaker. “Me and Dylan are writing a movie. It’s a stoner girl comedy, and it’s really fucking stupid. I think you’ll like it,” she said of the pet (pot?) project. “But the reason I even thought of this is because our producer is our best friend. We’re starting a company. I’ve worked with so many people that I didn’t know and that I didn’t like for so long. It was definitely valuable, but also, fuck that.”

Like any good stoner, Stewart quickly got sidetracked and started pitching Sennott on making a different movie with her, saying, “We should do a movie together. What the fuck? ... I think you’re rad. I’m so happy to talk to you.”

We don’t know any details of what Stewart and Meyer have cooking — besides another batch of brownies. All we know about the untitled stoner comedy is that it’s stupid, which certainly does not differentiate it from, well, pretty much any other movie in the genre. Not to mention, in a world where many states have legalized Stewart’s drug of choice, the stoner comedy is practically obsolete, as films like Half Baked and Pineapple Express would be missing their central conflict if they were made today.

Maybe then, this is the movie — a stoner takes an edible before a magazine interview and lightly pitches another filmmaker on a collaboration. It wouldn’t be any dumber than Dude, Where's My Car?
