'Twilight' News Round-Up: Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner Make Lots Of Money And Kristen Stewart Might Get Murderous

Sadly, we don't have any scoop to report from the "Breaking Dawn" set, but there's plenty going on in the larger "Twilight" universe. From potential film roles to huge bank rolls, our favorite supernatural hotties were making headlines today. Let's sink our teeth into the news:
Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart probably have more dollars than you
File this in the "obvious" folder, but according to Vanity Fair's list of Hollywood's Top 40, the "Twilight" trio bring home major bank. Taylor leads the threesome at the No. 9 spot earning $33.5 million in 2010, Kristen comes in at No. 13 with $28.5 million and Robert places at No. 15 with a nothing-to-frown-at $27.5 million. Though most of their earnings come from the vampire franchise, side projects like "Water for Elephants" and "On the Road" rounded out those large sums. And they're impressive sums considering all three beat out Hollywood vets like Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie and Tom Cruise.
Kristen's reportedly not playing Lois Lane
Though we speculated yesterday that Lois Lane was the rumored role Kristen was most likely to snag, it looks as though we might be mistaken. (Hey, it does happen every now and then!) According to a report from Gatecrasher, Kristen met with director Zack Snyder about starring opposite the hunky Henry Cavill in "Superman: Man of Steel," though she ultimately passed on the role. According to a source, she was not interested in jumping into another mega-franchise and would, instead, like to focus on smaller indie projects. Yep, that sounds like something Kristen would do.
 
Though she might play a murderous transgendered person
Speaking of smaller indie projects, the drama "K-11," written by Kristen's mom, has appeared and disappeared from KStew's IMDb page, but more details have come to light about the script. Hollywood Life reportedly got a hold of the screenplay, describing it as "full of shock and awe, a dark tale that tells a story of humanity that is gruesomely appalling yet strangely appealing." Kristen would play a transgendered woman serving time in an L.A. prison, who's abused behind bars and ultimately kills her assailant. We'll leave it at that, but to say the film is "dark" is an understatement.
