Sundance 2008- The Yellow Handkerchief.
The Yellow Handkerchief Producer, Arthur Cohn talks about Kristen
The Hollywood legend has worked together with many actors, but over Kristen Stewart Arthur Cohn (six Oscars!) goes into raptures.
“A great artist and privately very modest”, so the producer who brought the posterior “Twilight”-beauty on the big screen for the first time. “And she smells like freshly mown grass, she never uses perfume.”
Stewart is the star in Cohn’s cinema-jewel “The Yellow Handkerchief”. She plays a young runaway. “Kristen represents a mix of emotional self-consciousness and stubborn self-assertion. She’s driven by the desire for support and acceptance in the world, in the middle of the difficulties of growing up.”
Beside Stewart another Hollywood star plays along, Oscar winner William Hurt (61). “The most professional actor I know”, says Cohn. source

William Hurt and David Poland talk about Kristen. Old 'The Yellow Handkerchief' Interview
luacheia99 fiercebitchstew
William Hurt "She's brave as she can be and I'm defending her whenever I get a chance, and these people who say she's treating the press rudely and stuff like that, I'm going, give her a break, will ya? This is a gutsy woman. This is a young, bright, wonderful, talented, observant... You know? Let her express what she wants to express, why don't ya? Don't, you know, don't put the clamps on her just 'cause she made a big one."
David Poland Interviewer, Movie City "My experience with her is when she feels safe, she completely opens up. She's fine."

'The Yellow Handkerchief' Featured in Roger Ebert's 'The Best Art Films of 2010' List
Poster via kstewartbr
Suntimes. Roger Ebert's Blog This is the last of my lists of the best films of 2010, and the hardest to name. Call it the Best Art Films. I can't precisely define an Art Film, but I knew I was seeing one when I saw these. I could also call them Adult Films, if that term hadn't been devalued by the porn industry. These are films based on the close observation of behavior. They are not mechanical constructions of infinitesimal thrills. They depend on intelligence and empathy to be appreciated.
They also require acting of a precision not necessary in many mass entertainments. They require directors with a clear idea of complex purposes. They require subtleties of lighting and sound that create a self-contained world. Most of all, they require sympathy. The directors care for their characters, and ask us to see them as individuals, not genre emblems. That requires us to see ourselves as individual viewers, not "audience members." That can be an intimate experience. I found it in these titles, which for one reason or another weren't on my earlier lists. Maybe next year I'll just come up with one alphabetical list of all the year's best films, and call it "The Best Films of 2011, A to Z."

Roger Ebert Rates Remember Me and The Yellow Handkerchief - Both Three Stars
I have been waiting for this for a long time. Let's hear from Mr. Ebert. Thanks delaneyg84. SPOILER ALERT especially after the jump guys.
The Yellow Handkerchief THREE STARS
BY ROGER EBERT / March 10, 2010
The action in "The Yellow Handkerchief" takes place within the characters, who don't much talk about it, so the faces of the actors replace dialogue. That's more interesting than movies that lay it all out. This is the story of three insecure drifters who improbably find themselves sharing a big convertible and driving to New Orleans not long after Hurricane Katrina.
The car's driver is a painfully insecure teenager named Gordy (Eddie Redmayne), who doubts most of what he does and seems to apologize just by standing there. At a rural convenience store, he encounters Martine (Kristen Stewart), running away from her life. He says he's driving to New Orleans. No reason. She decides to come along. No reason. They meet a quiet, reserved man named Brett (William Hurt), and she thinks he should come along. No particular reason.
HIGHLIGHTS Stewart is, quite simply, a wonderful actress. I must not hold the "Twilight" movies against her. She played the idiotic fall-girl written for her, as well as that silly girl could be played, and now that "Twilight: New Moon" has passed the $300 million mark, she has her choice of screenplays for her next three films, as long as one of them is "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." In recent film after film, she shows a sure hand and an intrinsic power. I last saw her in "Welcome to the Rileys," where she played a runaway working as a hooker in New Orleans. In both films she had many scenes with experienced older actors (Hurt, James Gandolfini). In both she was rock solid. Playing insecure and neurotic, yes, but rock solid.

Remember Me THREE STARS
BY ROGER EBERT / March 10, 2010
"Remember Me" tells a sweet enough love story, and tries to invest it with profound meaning by linking it to a coincidence. It doesn't work that way. People meet, maybe they fall in love, maybe they don't, maybe they're happy, maybe they're sad. That's life. If, let us say, a refrigerator falls out of a window and squishes one of them, that's life, too, but it's not a story many people want to see. We stand there looking at the blood seeping out from under the Kelvinator and ask with Peggy Lee, is that all there is?
You can't exactly say the movie cheats. It brings the refrigerator onscreen in the first scene. It ties the action to a key date in Kelvinator history, one everybody knows even if that's all they know about refrigerators. But come on. This isn't the plot for a love story, it's the plot for a Greek tragedy. It may be true, as King Lear tells us, that as flies to wanton boys are we to th' gods. But we don't want to think ourselves as flies, or see fly love stories. Bring on the eagles.
The fact is, "Remember Me" is a well-made movie. I cared about the characters. I felt for them. Liberate them from the plot's destiny, which is an anvil around their necks, and you might have something.

New The Yellow Handkerchief Clip
"Twilight" star Kristen Stewart is everywhere, rocking out in "The Runaways" and playing troubled in "Welcome to the Rileys" at Sundance, and now showing off couple skills in her latest film "The Yellow Handkerchief."
As you can see and hear from the clip, she has a bit of ballerina in her and can put on a Southern accent.
In the film, K-Stew plays Martine, who teams up with a couple of strangers, Gordy (Eddie Redmayne) and Brett (William Hurt) as they ride through rural Louisiana.
"The Yellow Handkerchief" is currently in select theaters.

Kristen and Eddie's AlloyCom Interview
It may be a bit jarring to see Kristen Stewart so far away from Forks, but at least her new co-star is best friends with Rob Pattinson! Eddie Redmayne and Kristen team up in The Yellow Handkerchief, a film about a road trip through post-Katrina New Orleans. In the movie, Kristen hops in a car with two strangers... and the rest you'll just have to see for yourself!
What made you want to play this part?
Kristen: When I read the script it was one of those things that you get really excited about and then instantly really sick because you're not sure that you've got the part. I was sort of undeniably emotionally moved by it and I think just regarding the person that I played, she makes such a comeback. I feel like in the beginning she's so clearly disappointed in everything around her and that first time you see her she's rejected and that's what she's running from.

I feel like in the beginning she's so clearly disappointed in everything around her and that first time you see her she's rejected and that's what she's running from.
Can you identify with the whole teenage runaway attitude that you have in the film?
Kristen: I feel like [running away] was so not thought out. It's a pretty courageous thing to do to get in that car. And especially for a young girl, it can be considered silly. But I can identify with her in that she is doing something that is dangerous but that will ultimately be absolutely worth it. I can absolutely relate to that.
You guys must have spent a lot of time in the car. Any funny stories from filming?
Eddie: [For the scene] when we hit the [deer], we had a load of crew in the back with lights and all this stuff. And I had to do this screeching break as we hit this thing and I was like, "Be careful because I am screeching this car..."
Kristen: Again and again you said it.
Eddie: "...It's gonna be quite a jolt when we stop." And they said "No problem, man, no problem." And we did the scene and they cut to me and I break the car and I scream and this guy got all bruised out of the back! And I'm like, "I told you man, I told you."

Kristen, your character is into ballet in the movie. Did you have to take any ballet classes to prepare?
Kristen: Yeah. Something that was initially really daunting about the character was that she loved to dance and that she really used her physicality as a means of control and power. Before I did this movie I don't think I did a two-step. So I took some ballet lessons from these really hardcore ballerinas, but what I always thought about the character was that she wasn't really one to take a class. She sort of was like, "I really wanna do that." So then I didn't have to say that I was a trained ballerina, which I would never ever be able to accomplish in the two weeks that we had before we started shooting.
Eddie: Remember how obsessed you became with your dance shoes, though? Jazz pumps. You became obsessed.
Kristen: I have like, 16 pairs of these little white Capezios.

Eddie: Remember how obsessed you became with your dance shoes, though? Jazz pumps. You became obsessed.
Kristen: I have like, 16 pairs of these little white Capezios.
Eddie's character plays around with a disposable camera in the movie. Did you keep any souvenirs of the photos you took?
Eddie: We did, actually. The photos used in the scrapbook in the movie are ones we took of Kristen doing her dance.
Your characters are cut off from the outside world once Kristen's phone dies. Do you ever turn off your cell phones just to see what happens?
Kristen: I always turn my phone off and really infuriate a lot of people

In the movie, a big storm hits and it's rainy and gloomy for a while. Have you ever lived in that kind of climate?
Kristen: I haven't had crazy weather... Wait a second -- what am I talking about? I just made three films in the Pacific Northwest. I know the depression that is the cold west.
Kristen: I haven't had crazy weather... Wait a second -- what am I talking about? I just made three films in the Pacific Northwest. I know the depression that is the cold west.
So does the dark weather really mess with your mood?
Kristen: Yeah, absolutely. I think that's sort of undeniable. If you're cold for three months and you're always trying to stay dry...
Eddie: It's interesting, though. In London we used to have horrific weather. But when I came to LA, the expectation is for continual sunshine. You expect it to be the perfect Hollywood dream and when it's not, it can be mildly depressing.
Have you learned anything interesting about each other since you spent so much time together?
Kristen: There's nothing interesting to learn about this guy.
Eddie: There's nothing interesting to learn about her.

The Yellow Handkerchief Director, Udayan Prasad Talks About Kristen
Director Udayan Prasad was born in India, but moved to Britain at the age of nine.His new movie, The Yellow Handkerchief, which was shot in 2007, takes place in Louisiana following hurricane Katrina.
Can you talk about casting Kristen Stewart? This was way before Twilight.
Kristen wasn’t the household name she’s subsequently become. We saw a lot of actors for her role. People walk into a room and you remember them either by the use of notes you’ve made, which is usually a bad, and then there are people who you remember because there was something striking about them, or they were clearly very talented. Occasionally, somebody walks into a room and you get this sense that someone special has walked in, and Kristen did that.
She was so nervous the first time she came. She wasn’t even 17 when I met her. There was something very focused about he; something centered. She knew herself in a way that was quite intimidating. This young girl is so sure of life in a way that I still don’t think I’m sure of life. We worked on the script and it was clear she was going to be a frontrunner without any question. She came back and we did some more work and there was no doubt (about her casting) really.

Kristen and Eddie are very special talents. Eddie is an extremely serious actor. He’s coming to Broadway next month for a play called, Red, where he gives an absolutely mesmeric performance, as he does in all his work. Actually, it would be a great idea to put Kristen and Eddie into a Shakespeare (play) or something like that.

Kristen Reminisces About First Twilight Interview
BEVERLY HILLS, California — This week is a very interesting time in the life of Kristen Stewart. On one hand, she's living the life of a movie star, winning BAFTA Awards, setting up plans to attend the Oscars and talking about her role in one of the year's most eagerly anticipated blockbusters.
On the other, she's waving goodbye to the last remembrance of her relatively anonymous youth — and the movie that, in a way, began her superstardom. It's called "The Yellow Handkerchief," and by now, every good Twilighter knows KStew shot the film as a 16-year-old indie star best known for being "that girl from 'Panic Room.' " But when this reporter caught up with her recently to discuss the romantic drama that finally opens this weekend, I almost felt like I should apologize.
"Hi," Kristen said as I walked into the room and complimented her and co-star Eddie Redmayne on a job well done. "When did you see it? Oh, you saw it at Sundance!"
And with that, we both began reminiscing about a unique circle that began two years ago. Stationed in Park City, Utah, to cover the Sundance Film Festival for MTV News, I caught a densely attended screening of "Handkerchief" — a movie I really enjoyed — then headed over to a small press conference in a tent outdoors.
After Stewart, Redmayne, William Hurt and Maria Bello answered questions from the press, the conference ended and each walked offstage in separate directions and found straggling reporters approaching them for quick chats. Full disclosure: The only reason I was there was to try to get Hurt to talk about "The Incredible Hulk." But since someone else grabbed Hurt first, I instead went over to Stewart, who was standing alone. We had spoken a few times in the past, so she recognized me, and we sat down in a pair of folding chairs in the corner of the tent. After a nice conversation about the movie, I asked the one simple question that every person in my profession ends every interview with: What are you shooting next?
"That was the first time you asked me about 'Twilight'!" Kristen smiled when we caught up last week at the "Handkerchief" junket. "I remember the interview! ... You were like 'So, what's up with this [movie]?' "
Actually, she brought up the film. "The movie is called 'Twilight,' " she said during that January 2008 encounter. "Catherine Hardwicke is directing it in Washington. It's based on a book that's pretty popular [among] young adult, high school kids.
"The main character is, like, superhuman," she said of Edward Cullen. "He's a vampire, but with really [heightened powers]. He can run faster than a car can drive, and he's super strong."
At that point, Stewart added that she would be co-starring with some British actor named Robert Pattinson.
"Was Rob cast? I guess I don't remember," she explained. "That's so weird."
The result was the first time Kristen had ever spoken in public about the "Twilight" films, and when we ran a Movies Blog item a bit later, the MTV News team was shocked by the post's record-setting traffic. That, in turn, gave birth to "Twilight" Tuesdays, the cast's appearances at the MTV Movie Awards, the media picking up on the phenomenon later that year and — well, you know the rest of the story.
Of course, at the time, KStew also got herself in a bit of hot water, saying, "He throws me over his back [in one scene], right before he's going to tell me that he's a vampire, and then he runs over the treetops. And we're going to be in real treetops; we're not just going to CGI it. We actually get to go up there, and that's what I'm stoked on."
Months before the cameras rolled in Portland — and before anyone else was even cast — that simple "treetop" comment was enough to get fans of the "Twilight" books worked into a tizzy. Now, all this time later, those very same fans love the "Twilight" movies and have come to accept Kristen as their Bella. One of the reasons they love the actress is because she has such a playful relationship with them.
"Do we not, like, run up the tree and play around?" Stewart said about the controversy in our recent interview. "You just have to choose your words like crazy [when it comes to 'Twilight']."
One question I get asked more than any other is what the "Twilight" stars are like in real life — and to that, I'd say that Kristen now seems more calm, cool and at peace with the "Twilight" chaos than ever before, as evidenced by how enthusiastically she reminisced about that first interview. MTV
Kristen and Eddie Talk Burgers, Brits, and Babies - Popeater Interview
Kristen Stewart and Eddie Redmayne Talk Burgers, Brits and Babies
There's a new leading man in town for Kristen Stewart: British actor Eddie Redmayne. The two star in 'The Yellow Handkerchief,' a coming-of-age tale about a group of outsiders who take to the highway with no destination in mind.
Filming most of the scenes in New Orleans, Redmayne reveals he and Stewart instantly clicked on set and added her 'Twilight' fame hasn't turned her into a diva, as some tabloids have reported. "Anyone who says she's a nightmare to work with" is wrong, he told PopEater. "She's wonderful."
While on the phone with PopEater, the co-stars discussed their first impressions, their diet of crawfish, beignets and burgers and how they plan to make tabloid headlines next week.
Eddie, were you intimidated by Kristen because she's this big superstar?
Eddie: I was pretty intimidated by the whole prospect of the film, playing an adopted Native American.
Kristen: Opposite Kristen Stewart.
Eddie: I think I was more scared of getting my accent right than I was about my leading lady.
Did she ignore you the first three weeks of filming?
E: No, she's wonderful... I was by myself in New Orleans and Kristen was there with her family. They properly took me under their wing. I was even made a quasi member of the family for Mother's Day. They were incredibly lovely to me. We hit it off pretty much from the word go.
So this call is to announce your engagement, right?
E: Hell yeah.
So we'll see the wedding on the cover of People next week?
E: Guaranteed.
K: Just as soon as I have Rob's baby.
'The Yellow Handkerchief' is a road trip movie. Do you have any favorite road trip movies?
K: Umm, oh my goodness, can you think of one.
E: 'Thelma and Louise.'
K: Yeah, that's a good one. I guess 'Motorcycle Diaries.'
E: Oh, that's a good one. Can I piggyback onto the back of that one?
Kristen, this is a smaller movie. Is that a refreshing change?
K: To promote the movies is startlingly different, but to make the movies it's the same. Publicity for big movies is just more hectic but you're still talking about the same stuff.
Do you ever get tired talking about fame and yourself?
K: It's funny. People always complain about being asked the same questions but you always do think of a different answer. I like press because it sort of forces you to think about stuff you don't normally think about, especially about the movies you've made and how you feel about them now after so much time has gone by. I don't like it when in the question is inserted the journalist's opinion, like, 'Oh you must hate it,' and its like, wow, really no. How do you snap back from that because then it sounds like you're being argumentative. So that does get tiring.
Eddie has a very posh accent. Were you intimidated by it, Kristen?
E: That's my favorite question I've heard all year!
K: Yeah, you know he was the first Brit I was ever sort of friends with and then I realized in meeting a couple more of them that they've all got the same scary vocabulary that he does.
And he went to Eton.
K: He's a smart guy, you know.
Eddie, did you go to school with Prince William?
E: I did actually... He was in my year. I haven't seen him since school, but he's a lovely boy and a good man.
K: S**t, I didn't know you went to school with Prince William.
How was the food on the film?
E: Are you kidding? We were in New Orleans. We had a diet of crawfish and beignets.
K: I think I could have eaten 16 double double burgers in a day.
What's a double double?
K: A huge cheeseburger..

Kristen and Eddie's Interview: From TeenHollywood
These are just the most interesting excerpts from the TeenHollywood Interview. Some parts are just a repeat from the IESB piece. Read the full article here
Q: Eddie, how much a fish out of water did you feel when you started this movie and when did it click in and you felt a part of the movie and America?
Eddie: That’s a wonderful question. The truth of the matter is, when I got sent the script and asked to audition for it, I thought it was madness, I thought it was absurd and I said ‘really? Go to New York and audition for this? Guys, it’s never gonna happen’ (Kristen is laughing). ‘It’s playing an adopted Native American from northern Oklahoma. Do you really think it’s gonna happen?’ (laughter).
I’d never gone to an audition caring less because I didn’t think I had a snowball’s chance in Hell and I went in five minutes, threw this ridiculous audition down, left the room not caring what was going on ‘I’ll never hear back from that’. And, when it did happen, Udayan (Prasad) the director, coaxed me into it.
On set one of our first days, I was terrified. I’d done lots of work with a dialect coach and done some research but it was like ‘right, f**k it! Here goes!’ (laughter) It was a deep breath and I was well aware that I could end up with egg on my face. But ‘why not give it a shot’. (we think he was wonderful in the movie).
Q: Did either of you have a particularly challenging scene or one that you were either not looking forward to or wanted to get to so badly that you couldn’t wait?
Eddie: I had one scene when we’re in the motel and it’s pouring with rain outside and we kiss. I got to kiss her for the first time and (I say), ‘If I kiss you, then all the temptation will go away’ and she’s like ‘really?’
Kristen: And she’s like, ‘really’? (laughter)
Eddie: It’ll go away? But it was only because the producer kept saying ‘this is the scene’ and I’m like ‘This is the scene? How much can my eyes do in this scene to make it work?’
Q: Did either of you get to go have fun in New Orleans at all or were you busy shooting every day.
Kristen: I think I was 17 but, if I was, I was freshly 17. I’d just turned 17 so I didn’t really go out. I love New Orleans and I’ve worked there since…also underage. I’m sooo underage and New Orleans is such a ‘going out’ town that just walking around is awesome.
It’s an amazing place to be. You can go see music but you have to stand outside the club and be like (she looks sad), oh great. (laughter).
Eddie: Awwww
You were awesome in the movie. So believable.
Kristen: (smiles) Oh, thank you!
Eddie: That’s a wonderful question. The truth of the matter is, when I got sent the script and asked to audition for it, I thought it was madness, I thought it was absurd and I said ‘really? Go to New York and audition for this? Guys, it’s never gonna happen’ (Kristen is laughing). ‘It’s playing an adopted Native American from northern Oklahoma.
