Inside Kristen Stewart's 'abandoned' film about 'foot fetish' that was never released
Kristen Stewart has starred in a number of films over the years, but one project that never saw the light of day was a "foot fetish" movie that was reportedly abandoned.
Kristen Stewart's obscure "foot fetish" Hollywood film, 'The Big Shoe', was shelved before it could hit the screens.
The project, which has been gathering dust since 2013, was set to star Kristen in a peculiar role that never saw the light of day.
Back in 2013, Empire magazine detailed the plot: "The plot finds [Jim] Sturgess as a gifted (and foot fetishising) shoe designer who wants to keep his work pure, but who faces pressure from his overbearing family to turn his carefully crafted creations into mass-market products.
"In order to tempt him on, his mother (Susan Sarandon, if she signs) hires psychotherapist Mary Kay ([Elizabeth] Banks) and sexy muse Delphi ([Kristen] Stewart) in the hopes that it'll get his creative, er, juices flowing."
Despite the initial buzz, there was "no word yet" on the commencement of filming, according to Empire, and it appears the film was quietly dropped.

The IMDb page for The Big Shoe is barren except for a title and a note stating: "Note: Because this project is categorised as in development, the data is only available on IMDbPro and is subject to change."
Further details on IMDbPro describe the movie as centring around "an overbearing mother" who employs a therapist to collaborate with her son, a shoe designer.
A glance at Stewart's Wikipedia page reveals no trace of The Big Shoe among her listed projects or filmography.

On Reddit, a user shared an intriguing film trivia on the r/todayilearned thread, revealing: "TIL of The Big Shoe, a failed dark comedy film about a shoe designer falling in love with a foot model/sex worker (played by Kristen Stewart) who becomes his muse.
"Filming was set to start originally around 2013 in Cape Town, South Africa," though it remains uncertain if this is factual or mere speculation.
Another user chimed in, pointing out that the plot bears resemblance to Kinky Boots, the 2005 hit comedy drama which narrates the tale of a "struggling shoe factory owner who forms an unlikely partnership with a drag queen to save the business".
