You thought Kristen Stewart was big on the blockbuster stage? Wait until she takes over the indie world, too.
I was tooling around the Sundance Film Festival’s ass-kicking new interactive schedule website on Friday, putting together a tentative itinerary for the January event. Among the site’s cool features is a “Buzz” tracker that logs all the interest in the films in the program — both page views and the number of visitors who have tagged a film to insert in their personal festival schedules.
Guess what the top two films are, in terms of both page count and scheduling?
“The Runaways,” a Stewart starrer that Apparition picked up for distribution this weekend, six weeks before it was even scheduled to premiere at Sundance. And “Welcome to the Rileys,” Jake Scott’s new film starring… Kristen Stewart.
“Runaways,” which features Stewart as Joan Jett opposite “New Moon” co-star Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie, has 12,326 page views and 287 adds as of Monday at 1 pm, PST. “Rileys,” a competition film that features Stewart as a New Orleans prostitute opposite James Gandolfini’s grieving father, has 5,817 views and 267 adds.
Not to make it a competition or anything…
But really, is Park City ready for some “Twilight”-level chaos?
