It's nice to finally see some more news about this project. I had been worried that it was just another idea that would not get produced.

Yeah, nice to see some additional info on this movie. It's still listed as to be shooting this year.

Sure looks as if this film is finally getting greenlit as another trade publication, The Hollywood Reporter, recently confirmed this news as well Carved, as in this film is good to go--I repeat...good to go!: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/laura-dern-talks-kristen-stewart-jt-leroy-biopic-987930

A fan of Kristen recently Tweeted an excerpt from Production Weekly, arguably the provider of the most comprehensive and up to date film production data, which appears to state that this film will start production in June 2017 as some have been speculating about over the past few months:

If this info is legit, it looks as if Kristen will have a very busy year as the production for Underwater doesn't wrap up until May 26--so filming JT Leroy in June will mean another back-to-back project for Kristen--similar to her super hectic year in 2015, especially during the month of November when she filmed Personal Shopper just weeks after Cafe Society's filming wrapped up.
