Kristen Stewart talks about her Nude Scene in 'The Runaways'


Kristen Stewart has been everywhere at this year's Sundance Film Festival: on red carpets, in extensive sit-down interviews and on the screen in two movies, "Welcome to the Rileys" and "The Runaways." Both films showcase the actress in her most mature roles to date, and in each one she shows more than a bit of skin (beware of spoilers below). In the last shot of "Runaways," in which she plays real-life rocker Joan Jett, Stewart is seen floating underwater without any clothes on.

"America’s favorite virginal vampire lover is on a quest to drive a stake into the heart of her image with two new bad-girl roles at the Sundance Film Festival.It was less than 15 months ago that “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart awoke one morning to find herself famous. At 19, she’s still too young to drink, yet she has evidently decided she wanted to wake up at Sundance and find herself infamous.“I’m going to cinematically deflower Dakota Fanning,” she bragged to Film.com while shooting the drugged-out, punked-up rock flick for girls who love girls, “The Runaways,” in which Stewart plays rocker Joan Jett in the 1970s".

Donnie Darko: One of Biggest Sundance Breakouts

"The Glee cast is getting freakier every day — Mark Salling — who plays tough guy Puck on the hit show — and Dianna Agron — who’s the pregnant cheerleader, Quinn — threw on masks and channeled their inner Donnie Darko.

“Just when I thought I couldn’t love Mark more, he put on a bunny mask,” Dianna, 23, wrote on her blog Jan. 25 about the photo. “I’m sure it is clear why I picked this one. Fun day today!”
Jake Gyllenhaal as the troubled teenager Donnie Darko.

Sure, we understand the reasoning behind the animal choices (clever, very clever), but why are these two Golden Globe and SAG-award-winning actors dressing up like characters from Jake Gyllenhaal’s 2001 sci-fi cult-classic? That’s still a mystery".

13. 'Donnie Darko' (2001). Richard Kelly's twisted enigma of a movie, about a haunted teen and his surreal visions, was the kind of bizarre, independent, personal dream project that Sundance has long made it a mission to nurture. It wasn't a hit out of the box, but its success on DVD helped make Jake Gyllenhaal a star, confirm Drew Barrymore's discerning taste as a producer, provide an image-altering late-career role for Patrick Swayze, and launch a million late-night college bull sessions about What Does It All Mean?
1. 'Reservoir Dogs' (1992). "In the middle of its Sundance premiere, the projector broke. In fact, indie-film history broke in half pretty much at that moment - B.Q. and A.Q. (Before Quentin and After Quentin). Tarantino's explosive heist-gone-wrong tale rewrote the rules for everyone -- for screenwriters (with its formal daring, poetic profanity, baroque violence and encyclopedic grasp of pop culture history), for aspiring directors (if a video store clerk with a dream could raise $1.5 million, put a script into Harvey Keitel's hand and make this movie, then anyone could), for distributors (the Sundance feeding frenzy that began with 'sex, lies, and videotape' suddenly kicked into high gear after 'Reservoir Dogs'), for studios (once-disreputable genre films became A-list projects, and everyone was greenlighting films about chatty gangsters) and for moviegoers (either you were hip to Tarantino or you were square). Tarantino remade Sundance and Hollywood in his own image, for better or worse, and it would be a long time before the film business (and Tarantino himself) would begin to climb out from under his shadow".

Kristen Stewart talks about The Runaways, not herself

"In the clip (below), Kristen started off talking about playing the character of Joan Jett. She said, “You always have to feel like the character you’re playing is real to a certain extent,but when they’re standing next to you everyday you felt like such a, I don’t know,it’s a special relationship.” She answered a few more questions about “The Runaways” movie. Then Jessica moved over to the “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” topic.

Kristen said, “I don’t really know what to say about it. I mean like, I’m really excited about it. I haven’t seen it yet,so like I still have only the memories that I had of it when I was making it,and that’s always really hard to decipher because it’s always very like, I hadn’t really thought about it yet.” Then Jessica asked the question that’s been asked a million times. She asked, “Are you team Edward off the screen?” Which implies, are you dating him. Kristen responded just like the title of this movie,and just ran away".

Kristen Stewart is at Sundance to debut her new film THE RUNAWAYS. She plays Joan Jett in the biopic about the seminal all-girl punk band from the '70s. She's excited about the movie but still shy when talking about herself.

Emile Hirsch's "Zimbabwe Diary"

DAY 3

"In the middle of the night my eyes open, disoriented. There is not a single photon of light in the room, its utterly pitch black. Only problem is, I can't remember where I am, which rarely happens to me upon awaking, even when I'm doing lots of traveling. After flailing about panicked in my waterbed from the eighties for a few moments, I realize it's so dark because there's no electricity at night at the Pumpkin Hotel when you're in Kotwa in the Mudzi district of Zimbabwe. Duh".
DAY 6

"I stare into The Devils Cataract with sheer awe--it is no doubt one of the most incredible sights I have seen in my 24 years. Victoria Falls in eastern Zimbabwe, sporting the largest single curtain of falling water on Earth, blows Niagara Falls, well, out of the water. Unending columns of water crash over 100 meters down into deafening explosions below, shooting billowing spray so high into the air that it looks like clouds are above. This bonus trip to the Falls today, our group's chance to see one of the Seven Natural Wonders Of The World, is a treat we're grateful for. My drenched sneakers struggle to keep control as I walk to the edge of the aptly named Danger Point, an unfenced edge of rocks over the falls, the cliffs below holding the violent, frequently whirl pooling torrent of the "Mighty Zambezi" river in place, unmoving and unconcerned with mankind".


DAY 8

"Zimbabwe's people, despite being dimly perceived by the world, are a buoyant, friendly people, living under a weight of oppression. Despite all the political insanity, hardships, a collapsed infrastructure, rampant outbreaks and a severe lack of resources, I've honestly never met a friendlier group of people. Change is coming to Zimbabwe, I think, because the infrastructure is already there--the paved roads, sanitation systems, and farms--they just need to be given a leg up again. Hopefully soon the political situation will calm and foreign investors, other foreign countries such as the United States, and a large tourism industry can boom once again. In the meantime, Oxfam is an invaluable, life saving resource for the Zimbabwe people".

Jesse Eisenberg - Unorthodox "Holy Rollers"


January 25th, 2010: Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Bartha were spotted wondering around together in Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival Monday. Jesse signed autographs and both young men were seen talking to girls.


Jesse Eisenberg talks HOLY ROLLERS at Sundance.

Jesse Eisenberg & Ari Graynor in Sundance Film Festival -
Day 4, 25 January 2010.

Or as costar Ari Graynor says, the film is not so much about the drug wars or even religious affiliation as it is "all about family."

"Holy Rollers" is just one of a slew of dramas playing in Park City this year, but -- with its unique premise, guerrilla execution (lots of dark lighting and close-ups, in part because of the lower budget and accelerated shooting schedule) and the fact that it somehow got made despite few of the pre-sold elements preferred by financiers -- it embodies the current spirit of the festival. Even after Eisenberg and Bartha signed on, the film went another year and a half in limbo as Asch and producer Danny Abeckaser (who also has a supporting role in the film) found, lost and found again sources of financing.
Along the way, the filmmakers sheared the budget and, maybe more importantly, cut out many of the larger drug- and crime-movie tropes that would have made it a more commercial, and perhaps not as effective, picture. "I felt if we kept in a lot of those things, we would have wasted the opportunity to make a character drama," Asch says.

If an actor musing on his neighbors isn't enough to catch your attention, think of Eisenberg -- last seen falling for Kristen Stewart in a 1980s amusement park in "Adventureland"-- and Bartha -- the bachelor who goes missing in Vegas in "The Hangover" -- together wandering the streets of Brooklyn, seeking out men in black hats and beards.
