Looks like Kristen Stewart is trying to differentiate herself from the Twilight series with a Southern drama, a deep Southern accent, and a all-star, Academy Award nominated cast.

For those of you who attended last year’s Sundance Film Festival, you may have gotten a sneak peak at director Johan Renck‘s Downloading Nancy. The film was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2008 festival, but did not win. However, the recognition was enough for the film to be released in select theaters this March. Check out the latest trailer above.

The film stars Maria Bello (World Trade Center, Thank You For Smoking) as an unhappy wife, Nancy, who wants to die.
