Kristen Stewart's work schedule just keeps getting busier!

The 23-year-old actress has been cast in the upcoming indie flick Anesthesia, E! News confirms.

She'll appear in a small role and will be shooting for a few days in New York for the Tim Blake Nelson film, which centers on a group of New Yorkers whose lives have been touched by the same philosophy professor.

Stewart has been busy with two upcoming movie projects as of late—the Peter Sattler-directed Camp X-Ray, in which she plays a soldier stationed to Guantanamo Bay, as well as the Olivier Assayas-directed drama Sils Maria, which also stars Juliette Binoche and Chloë Grace Moretz.

The brunette beauty has also been making headlines for her recent reunion with ex-Robert Pattinson, which took place on Wednesday, Oct. 30 as E! News exclusively reported.

The former couple spent four hours together at the house Rob's been renting in a gated community in Beverly Hills, after which point they tried to take their meeting elsewhere before they caught wind of the paparazzi following the pair in their respective vehicles.

But while Twihards may still be hoping for a reconciliation between the former longtime lovebirds a source close to R.Pattz tells E! News that the pair simply "caught up" with each other and that the entire situation was "very platonic."

The Pattinson insider added that the duo merely met up to discuss their two pet pooches that they share, Bear and Bernie.

Despite the seemingly amicable reunion, those close to the former couple, who dated for about three years before calling it quits in May, were "completely surprised" to learn that the exes had been in touch as "there was lots of animosity after the split."

"They are cordial now," the source said, adding that pals "honestly believe they will not get back together."

"There's always a small chance," the insider revealed. "But I highly doubt it."
