HeyUGuys.UK spoke with Jake Scott about his film, Welcome To The Rileys, which is released on DVD on Monday the 27th of February (Preorder here via Amazon ). And he talks about Kristen and so much more.

On casting Kristen... "But I cast Kristen because she was so genuine and authentic. She’s been criticised for being very twitchy and there’s some negative things said about her in regards to her acting affectations, but they’re not affectations, they’re who she is and that’s how she is. And she’s very open and honest and authentic in herself and it really comes down to authenticity."

Joan Jett talks about Kristen with PortsmouthUK
"Just seeing Dakota and Kristen and Michael Shannon dressed as myself and Cherie and Kim, was surreal as they looked so much like us."
"Kristen had my posture, you know, the way I stand in space. It was really freaky. My friends and family saw it and thought she nailed it."

Critics Love Kristen Stewart’s Performance In WTTR (ONLY 11 Negatives Out 118)

Kristen Stewart was cast in Welcome to the Rileys before the Twilight movies became a cultural phenomenon. (As was the case of The Runaways and also with Walter Salles’ upcoming On the Road.)

She was just 18 and still without finish her participation in the filming of Welcome To The Rileys, when she had to leave the set of filming to do the promo tour for the first installment of the Twilight series. After weeks she returned for wrap up the filming but her world had been changed completely… The “Twilight Tsunami” had placed her in the middle of a big frenzy to which she certainly was not prepared psychologically.

Suddenly she was over exposed 24 hours a day, having dozen of paparazzi urging her take an angry posture, people bullying her like Perez Hilton, thousands of teenagers and also grown ups fighting over her, people from the entertainment and gossip business standardizing her without know her well or to have watched her body of work and from the Business itself, analysing all, each breath she took, each action and each word. She became a phenomenon herself! A brutal example of “over exposure”! If you put the name “Kristen Stewart” in the Google, you will have 26.600.000 results! She lost the human right of growing up as a person and as an actress before became an selfconscious adult and consecrated actress at the public eyes.

Ken Hixon talks about the cast  in this recent interview,

"They're very different people. They have their own unique approaches," he said, "and it's really extraordinary, whether you're watching them doing a scene with just one of them, two of them or get all three of them together. Kristen Stewart is astonishing. She is like lightning in a bottle -- actually, with the cork off the bottle. ...

"You know, that's part of the writer's reward. I've had very good luck with casting. It's wonderful, and it never gets old. ... I'm in hog heaven."

CV: Born in 1990 in Los Angeles, California (USA), Kristen Stewart is revealed at the age of 12 in David Fincher's The Panic Room. Becoming Bella for the first time in 2008 will make her a superstar. In 2010, she will also star in The Runaways. She takes a dramatic turn by playing a broken girl in Welcome To The Rileys that comes out on Wednesday.

Since Twilight, the image of the good girl is has been deemed to you. With this role in Welcome To The Rileys do you want to get rid of it?

The producer gave me an opportunity to convince the sceptics: you can play in a big production filled with vampires and at the same time, play an exotic dancer who is broke in a small budget film. The problem is, at my age, people, especially reporters, will stick the label that you're a one dimensional actress. I absolutely wanted to prove them that I could play a more 'adult' role while giving her some innocence.

How did you prepare yourself for the strip-tease scene?
One morning, I showed up on set in a micro-mini. Then, I walked in it in the streets. Strangely, all my inhibitions just went away. For the lap-dancing techniques, that was a little harder. I bruised myself, a lot...While reading the script, there was this little voice that was telling me 'Go for it, Kristen, do that movie! It'll reveal another side of you!' In real life, I'm rather prude. The star system, the fans, the awards ceremonies...That side of my career scares me. As much as I love acting, giving a performance, I don't like the other side.

Was it easy to act with James Gandolfini, the hero of The Sopranos?
I was very impressed the first time I had a scene with him. I couldn't help but think of his role as a mafioso and kept telling myself: 'Girl, give a good performance or he'll put a hit on you!' (laughs). But he's a big teddy bear who wouldn't hurt a fly...
