Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult are to star in a remake of the 1956 film 1984, itself an adaptation of George Orwell's novel of that name.

The pair will play lovers in upcoming film Equals.



Stewart spoke about the film to The AP, saying: "I can't believe I agreed to do it. I'm terrified of it. Though it's a movie with a really basic concept, it's overtly ambitious."

"It's a love story of epic, epic, epic proportion," she added. "I'm scared."

Equals will be directed by Drake Doremus, who previously directed the 2011 film Like Crazy starring Jennifer Lawrence.

Stewart, who was recently named the face of Chanel, added: "I trust Drake's process and I know we will do something really natural and real. But I told Drake, 'Don't expect that I am going to be able to do this. It's too hard'.

"But he wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. I've given directors disclaimers before, but never this much."
