There for Professor

She played a ruthless little thieving thing in The Bling Ring last summer, and, next year (more than likely), Katie Chang is gonna philosophize with Kristen Stewart.

Well, kinda sorta.

Chang has joined the cast of Tim Blake Nelson’s new indie Anesthesia, the story of a group of New Yorkers whose lives are all affected by the violent mugging of a popular Columbia University philosophy professor played by Sam Waterston.

Glenn Close and Gretchen Mol are also on board.
