For once, Kristen Stewart seemed at ease.
The 20-year-old “Twilight” star was enjoying a rare moment of anonymity at one of her favorite restaurants, a rustic hideaway shrouded by a canopy of ferns, perched alongside a twisty road in Topanga Canyon. Notices for a local farmers market, a childbirth preparation class and a 70th birthday celebration for John Lennon decorated the haunt’s bulletin board.
A few honeybees circled the veggie burger on her plate as she chatted about playing a teenage runaway-turned-stripper in her latest film, “Welcome to the Rileys,” a drama coming to theaters Friday. She wasn’t running her hands through her hair, or incessantly shaking her leg, or stuttering as she tried to express herself — all of the characteristic nervous tics she’s often displayed in public since the first “Twilight” film rocketed her into a frightening orbit of celebrity two years ago. Read full article.
Here’s a brief new interview from 24 Frames via the LA Times.
In the upcoming “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn,” Kristen Stewart’s character, Bella Swan, becomes a mother. But that’s a reality the actress says she has a hard time comprehending.
“My best friend just had a baby. She’s my age. So I’m a godmom now, which is … crazy,” said the 20-year-old during an interview to promote her upcoming film “Welcome to the Rileys.”
Asked if the experience was helping her tap into her own maternal instincts, she replied: “It’s actually making me realize more that I have absolutely no idea. Like, I see that going on, and I’m like, ‘Oh, my God.’ ”
Though “Breaking Dawn,” the fourth installment in the “Twilight” franchise, doesn’t begin production for a few weeks, Stewart says she’s already been caught up with preparations for the film. She’s had a number of meetings with director Bill Condon and has even temporarily eliminated some favorites from her diet.
“I want a cheeseburger so badly, but, you know, I have to be a vampire in a few weeks,” she said over lunch at a restaurant in Topanga, where she settled for a veggie burger.
Ironically, she won’t even be able to show off her figure for the majority of “Breaking Dawn.”
“I’m incredibly pregnant in the first movie,” Stewart said, adding that she has spent the last couple of weeks trying on prosthetic bellies. “I’ve worn it. It’s … crazy. I’ve done fittings. It gets immense. It gets so massive at some point that it actually looks inhuman. Like it’s hurting her. There are striations of bruises.”
And the junkets continue! Here’s the one from Hitfix.com!
These surfaced yesterday, but if you haven’t seen them — here are two new clips from “Welcome to the Rileys.” Second one after the jump. Enjoy!
Though Kristen has commented that she doesn’t know what she’ll be doing post-Breaking Dawn, here is an interview with James Wood regarding “An American Girl.” Whatever Kristen takes on next, we’re definitely looking forward to it!
Kristen Stewart took on the role of a damaged prostitute in “Welcome to the Rileys” before the “Twilight” series debuted and launched her into superstardom. That film is about to hit theaters, and now another film she first circled during her pre-Bella Swan days looks like it will soon be shifting in production.
On the “Rileys” red carpet Monday, James Woods told us that “An American Girl,” in which Stewart is set to star, is gearing up to shoot in 2011. “She’s been committed to it for two years now, and we’re just about ready to go now in the spring,” he told MTV News.
Woods is directing the film, based on a script by Tom Metcalfe (“The Haunting in Connecticut”). The film follows a high school grad who’s unknowingly recorded having sex and who joins the Marines to escape the humiliation.
Though Stewart had not yet become a breakout star in Hollywood at the time, Woods said he eyed her for the role based on advice from Sean Penn and Dennis Quaid, both of whom had worked with her on previous films. Woods’ casting director tried to talk him into casting another actress, but he was adamant. “She’s the one I want. She’s it,” he recalled telling the casting director.
“Her insight into the script was so perceptive and prescient as it turns out that I was overwhelmed with what a true professional and what a true artist she was, beyond her talent,” he explained. “She’s got a real brain for script analysis. She’s just been totally devoted throughout all this fame. It’s never dented her at all. She’s been terrific from day one up until this very minute.”
Despite that fame that has enveloped her since “Twilight” hit theaters in late 2008 — and despite all the roles that have come her way — Stewart remained committed to “American Girl.” Woods, for one, expected nothing less from the young actress.
“She has been steadfast and true in her commitment, which did not surprise me, because when I started working with her on the script,” he said, “she was so insightful.”
Kristen stopped by Regis and Kelly early this morning, continuing on her “Welcome to the Rileys” promotion. Watch the interview below, find captures in the gallery, as well as a behind the scenes photo. Enjoy!
