The first look at Kristen Stewart and her co-star Nicholas Hoult in "Equals" has been released. The young actors are seen in silhouettes, starring at each other intensely.

Based on George Orwell's groundbreaking 1949 dystopian novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four", "Equals" is a love story set in the future where emotions have been eradicated. However, a disease can cause them to return. Hoult plays a man whose daily work is rewriting history. He begins to rebel when he commits the crime of falling in love with a woman played by Stewart.

"I'm definitely not afraid of 'feels.' My life revolves around it actually," Stewart said at a press event in August. "Finding the balance between the head and the heart is important but I've always been very driven by the gut. Every thought or articulated emotion starts in shapes and colors and putting your finger on that is cool, but it's not necessary."

When asked whether he would like to live in such society, Hoult said, "That obviously would be the easy way out, but no, I like to feel everything, take the highs and the lows."

Drake Doremus is directing the film which started filming in Japan last month and in Singapore this month. Guy Pearce and Jacki Weaver also star. The pic is set to bow in theaters next year.
