Kristen Stewart detours from Twilight to Welcome to the Rileys

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.
Then, suddenly, her face fell. A stranger was timidly inching over to her table.

"Could I take a picture for my girlfriend in Thailand?" the man, who appeared to be in his 30s, asked. "She's a great-looking girl. I just recently got into your movies with her. Is that cool?"

Stewart paused, her left leg slowly beginning to bounce. "Yeah," she sighed. "Yeah, sure." She posed for a photo with the interloper.

Oblivious to her agitation, he lingered. "What's your name again? Kristen, right? Want me to show you my girl?" he asked, beginning to flip through images on his digital camera. "Just for her to know that I picked up breakfast at your restaurant. You know, we're the type of people that don't get out much."

Finally, he retreated. Stewart pulled the hood of her black sweatshirt over her head.

"It's strange when you become a novelty," she said, slouching down into her seat. "It's sort of like, 'Yeah, sure. Go put this on your Facebook so your friends can laugh at it.' Because that's what they will do. And I usually say no to people like that, when they're like, 'Yo, yo, can I get a picture of you?' And it's like, 'No, … you,' '' she said, interjecting an obscenity. "That's what I'm thinking."

Stewart, it's clear, is still grappling with fame, which came at her hard and fast when at age 17 she took on the role of Bella Swan in the "Twilight" vampire franchise, whose fourth installment begins production next month. She's always trailed by paparazzi. A frenzy breaks out whenever she's spotted off-set with "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson; tabloids speculate breathlessly about their personal lives.

(One celebrity website, for example, recently gushed about its "exclusive new details" on the pair's visit to a Play N Trade video game store in Prairieville, La., where they are preparing to film the first part of "Breaking Dawn." If you must know, they reportedly bought the game "Fallout: New Vegas.")

Unlike other young stars like Justin Bieber or Lindsay Lohan, who seem to relish sharing tidbits about their lives with fans on social networking sites like Twitter, Stewart has strenuously resisted constant demands to divulge more of herself to the public.

In past interviews, she's displayed a penchant for stuttering and eye rolling, consequently developing a reputation for being sullen, or awkward. During a 2008 interview with David Letterman, she self-consciously referred to herself as "actually really boring."

"I don't have a personality fit for television. I just don't," she admitted, sounding genuinely friendly. "Even when I really feel like I've had fun with something and been totally fine and we talked about stuff that I thought was interesting — even then. I don't know. It's getting easier. It used to be a lot worse. And it's totally my fault, too. I guess I just put too much pressure on myself before, and it showed."

Though she started acting half a lifetime ago — garnering early acclaim from the likes of Jodie Foster, who co-starred with her in 2002's "Panic Room," and Sean Penn, who directed her in 2007's "Into the Wild" — Stewart says she's been unable to nail a performance as a carefree, charming or cute interview subject, because that's simply not who she is.

Sixteen-year-old Dakota Fanning, who costarred with Stewart in "The Runaways" this year, picked up on her uneasiness during the film's media tour.
"I think that her being uncomfortable doing interviews — Kristen is exactly who she is. It's something that I admire her for," Fanning said. "When she's doing an interview, she really thinks about what she's saying. She's a truthful, honest person, and wants that to come across so badly."

Things got so bad, her team sent her to media training.

"Basically, they told me that I should be ready for any question that's thrown at me, and I should have a stock answer, because then it won't confuse things and you'll never be caught off guard," she recalled. "And there's no way to do that. There's no way to be prepared for a conversation with someone you don't know about something that means the world to you."

Welcome To The Rileys Press Junket Master Post

Press Conference Quotes:

• On dressing like a stripper for the film: “What surprised me most was the fact that I was so unaware of the fact I was walking down the street with my robe open and just not caring at all. I had no inhibitions, I wasn’t scared.”
• On the Twilight cast: “I’m really lucky to have my cast on the series because as soon as we get back on set together, you always think it’s going to be hard to get back there but it’s not. We’ve all wanted to tell the story for so long and it’s all finally going to come to fruition.” 
• On doing the sequel to Wanted: “People were talking about that a while ago, but I don’t know what I’m doing next. I have no idea.”
• On how she gets out of a role: “The few things that I’ve done between the Twilight movies have just coincidentally been very different, but I haven’t been like, ‘Oh I’m going to shock everyone right now and do something totally different.’ It’s always been totally informed by something speaks to you and you need to do it.”
• On getting absorbed in her role: “I tend to — and I’m not being deadly serious about this, but it is kind of — but I tend to really offend people who are in my life when I go. Especially on this one. It was the first time I’d ever been alone on a movie. I loved stomping around the city like it was mine . . . So I didn’t really miss too much, I was having a great time.”
• On going to a strip club: “I went to my first strip club and upon entering the guy was like, ‘You have to come back later if you want a job.’ . . . So he must have thought you [Jake] were my pimp.”
• On being old enough for the role: “I’d known about this for a while before it got up and running . . . And I’m really glad that it took a while to do so because I think I was old enough to play the part as opposed to not ready. I think I would have shied away from too much.”
• On taking her character with her: “It’s not just parts you play, it’s sort of every experience you have in life shapes you and makes you who you are. Some of the most monumental experiences in my life have been working on films and playing parts, and this one more so than most — I don’t want to compare them — but more than normal, had an effect on me.”

Not all of Stewart’s bruises were make-up. Once filming began, the bruises and marks on Stewart’s limbs were added cosmetically. But only because she had some real-life experience to draw from: “I got the bruises initially in rehearsal. I learned how to pole dance, even though you don’t really see it in the movie. You do for a second; it’s like in silhouette in the background. I’m just laying that down. But it really hurts, and you don’t realize that of course it’s gonna show. […] There were so many that I wasn’t sure, like, ‘Do you keep all of them? Or is that just too much? Is it going to look hokey?’”

Actors are easier to deal with than rock stars. “Actors have reputations for being difficult,” said Scott, a veteran music-video director delivering only his second feature overall and his first in 11 years. “I deal with rock-and-roll bands — they’re difficult. I worked with the Rolling Stones. That’sdifficult. These guys, it was a dream. I used to look forward to coming to work every day. Jim and I, it was a little rocky in the beginning in rehearsal. But I’m from London, and we don’t back down.”

Stewart’s transitioning between Twilight and roles like Joan Jett or a teenage prostitute is seriously no big thing. “The few things that I’ve done between the Twilight movies have just coincidentally been very different,” Stewart said. But I haven’t been like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna shock everybody right now and do something totally different. It’s always been totally informed by, you know, something speaks to you, and you need to do it. That’s what it is. Also I’m really lucky to have my cast on the series because as soon as we get back on set together… You always think it’s going to be hard to get back there, but it’s not, because we’ve all wanted to tell the story for so long. And it’s finally going to come to fruition.”

Kristen Stewart: ‘Breaking Dawn’ will change people’s minds about Bella Swan

“Twilight” fans love to debate their favorite novel in Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling vampire series. Kristen Stewart says she has her own favorite — and it’s the most explicit and intense of the bunch.

“This one’s really good. This one really goes there, finally,” said the actress who plays the iconic Bella Swan of “Breaking Dawn.” “This one is like the forming of a family. You see everything really come to fruition because I feel like [Bella] has sort of gone through an accelerated growth period.”

In November, Stewart will reprise the Bella role when she begins filming the first half of “Breaking Dawn,” the fourth movie in the “Twilight” franchise, which will be directed by Bill Condon. The story follows [spoiler alert: if you aren't familiar with "Breaking Dawn," skip to the last paragraph] Bella’s marriage to vampire Edward Cullen (Rob Pattinson), as the two finally consummate their relationship and Bella becomes pregnant.

“At at this point,” Stewart says, “you do accept [Bella] as a mom.”
Because their child is half-human and half-vampire, Bella’s pregnancy is riddled with complications — all leading up to a dramatic birth scene, in which Edward tears open Bella’s stomach with his teeth to save their baby.

There has been speculation about how the graphic scene will be depicted on screen. Stewart acknowledges it’s a “crazy concept,” also describing werewolf Jacob’s hearing “vampire teeth against vampire skin” during the childbirth scene.

Just how that will play out on screen, though, has yet to be determined. “I’ve seen the script,” which tracks closely to the book, she says. “But it depends on how they shoot it.”

Stewart, who was speaking to 24 Frames to promote her new independent drama “Welcome to the Rileys,” said she thinks her “Twilight” character has been misunderstood. “Bella’s criticized sometimes for being, like, you know — I don’t know, selfish and overly emotional and silly and frivolous and annoying and young,” said Stewart. “That’s sort of like a very judgmental way of looking at it.”

Kristen Stewart’s Crazy Schedule

Marc Malkin at E! got the scoop on how Kristen Stewart made it to the Scream Awards just barely and what her hectic schedule is like this week. She’s going to have some serious jet lag by the end of the week!

“Yes, Kristen Stewart was at Spike TV’s Scream Awards last night!

There was some confusion at the start of the evening because her name had been taken off the media tip sheet, but…

Turned out she just wasn’t able to make it to the arrivals in time. Why? Well, she’d been in Louisiana for about a day and a half rehearsing Breaking Dawn with Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, so she was jetted in by private plane and made it to the Scream soiree with mere minutes to spare.”

‘Welcome to the Rileys’ director Jake Scott discusses casting Kristen & lack of pole dancing

His biggest coup, however, was casting Kristen Stewart, co-star of the blockbuster Twilight films, as the underage hooker that the plot turns on. “I loved her in Into the Wild. I thought, ‘Oh my God, that’s exactly the right quality I’m looking for in Mallory.’ It’s a sort of feral quality.”

Scott spent a good year with the screenwriter, streamlining plot points and making them subtle. The death of the Rileys’ daughter is established in a deft and unexpected manner. “She used to exist in flashbacks, but one of the first things I did with Ken was take all the flashbacks out. I kept going back to the idea of restraint.

“While we were in New Orleans, it was very tempting to photograph the cityscape for all of its beauty, but I really didn’t think that was relevant to the characters.
“Some people have said, “It’s a shame you don’t get to see Kristen actually dancing on a pole,’ but that was again a conscious decision. I didn’t shoot it. I was being asked to shoot it, but I wouldn’t shoot it because I didn’t feel that it was relevant to what Doug was going through. And I think, if I had shown her doing that, it was possible the audience would connect that to Doug and to something he was doing as a character. I didn’t want that to happen. I didn’t want that to be in question.”

Amy Adams ‘On the Road’ co-star talks Kristen Stewart

Amy Adams was very popular recently with the young people in her life.

You see, she recently spent four days in New Orleans shooting On the Road with Twilight star Kristen Stewart…

“I got requests for autographs, and I didn’t ask for a single one,” Adams told me yesterday at Variety’s Power of Women luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where she was honored for her work with the Bronx-based Ghetto Film School.

Why?

Adams may be a 36-year-old two-time Academy Award-nominee and mother of one, but when it comes to teen, she said, “I guess I’m getting to the point in my life where I’m suspicious of teenagers and I’m intimidated a little bit.”

Yes, Adams knows Stewart is 20 years old. “She’s not a teenager but she’s close enough and I was very intimidated,” Adams said.

Adams is a fan of Stephenie Meyer’s vampire book series. “I told [Stewart] I read the books and she was like, ‘You’ve read the books?,’ ” Adams recalled. “She couldn’t compute it, but you have to imagine I was playing this sort of bedraggled drug addict so I’m she was like, ‘That doesn’t seem like the audience.’ But she was incredibly gracious and lovely.”
