Kristen Stewart Interview in France’s ‘L Actu’ Magazine

Kristen Stewart was recently interviewed by France’s ‘L Actu’ magazine regarding her role in WTTR, how she prepared for the strip tease scene, and co starring opposite James Gandolfini.

Here is a translation of the article :

CV: Born in 1990 in Los Angeles, California (USA), Kristen Stewart is revealed at the age of 12 in David Fincher’sThe Panic Room. Becoming Bella for the first time in 2008 will make her a superstar. In 2010, she will also star inThe 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…

‘Eclipse’ Song ‘Heavy In Your Arms’ Explained

Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine has explained to the Examiner, the meaning of the song “Heavy in your Arms” off the Eclipse Soundtrack.

‘Heavy In Your Arms’ I suppose is about the weight of love, and how sometimes it can be a burden between two people. . . . I felt this was a strong theme in theTwilight series – is someone being rescued or are they being condemned, and is the love you carry bringing you down? . . . I recorded it using a lot of strange reversed vocal samples and big hip hop piano. It’s basically inspired by 90’s hip hop and gospel choirs, like most of my songs.

‘Twilight’ Women Make Top of ‘Elle Magazine’s’ Power List

The women of Twilight have made the list of “Elle Magazine’s Powerful Women in Hollywood.” Alongside the women of “Mad Men” and “The Conan Show,” Twilight actresses and production crew have made the cut.

The Twilighters
Thanks to a team of brilliant women, the Twilight saga has grossed $1.8 billion worldwide, making it one of the most formidable franchises ever. Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg scripted Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn parts 1 and 2, all based on Stephenie Meyer’s wildly successful novels (she’s sold a record 85 million books to date and is also a producer). Summit Entertainment’s Nancy Kirkpatrick (president of worldwide marketing) is responsible for launching a shrewd social network ad campaign that is credited with heightening fan anticipation, while Summit’s executive VP and head of physical production, Andi Isaacs, helped shape the modern tween-noir look of the film. And of course, there’s the vehicle’s star, Kristen Stewart, whom the franchise couldn’t live without—and frankly, vice versa.

Add to that the rest of the wonderful production crew, Catherine Hardwicke and the other actresses, and yes you have a very powerful group of women.

Denzel Whitaker Interview About ‘Abduction’

Denzel Whitaker costarred with Taylor Lautner in the upcoming move Abduction. Blackfilm.com interviewed Denzel about his experience with Taylor Lautner and Abduction. Here is an excerpt from the article:

You’ve got another film coming out next year, ‘Abduction’ with John Singleton. What was it like working on that movie?
DW: ‘Abduction’ was crazy. It was a wild ride. It was fun. It’s unbelievable seeing the amount of hysteria that can go down surrounding Taylor Lautner and his fans in that town or in any town. Literally, they come out in hoards with posters and signs and support, always trying to find out what the next location is. It was like a wild goose chase trying to get the film down because we always had fans interrupting the shots. Other than that I had a wild time. It was great working with John. We had some high action scenes. A lot of material that he gave me and cast members, a lot of room to play around and just really express ourselves on film, not only as characters but as actors. I enjoyed that a lot.
What’s your role in that movie?
DW: I play Taylor Lautner’s best friend, pretty much the go to guy. Pretty much, his character ends up on a wild, wild chase to figure out who his parents are and he’s also running from immediate danger. So with that being said he needs all the information that he can get and I’m his go to guy in the film, whether it’s fake ID’s or just figuring out the best route to get out of the city or just helping him along the way in trying to trace down his parents. He comes to me and confides in me because I’ve been his best friend for so long and I also have access to all this technology.

Star of the “Twilight” saga Chaske Spencer spoke about his battles with racism, alcohol and drugs at the Illini Union yesterday, sponsored by the Illini Union Board and the Native American House.
Born in Oklahoma, he didn’t move to a Native American reservation until later on in his childhood, where he didn’t make an immediate fit, he said.
“They teased me for being an apple. White on the inside, red on the outside, and I didn’t understand that,” Spencer said.
With a father for an alcoholic, he fell into a crowd of other youths from dysfunctional homes, he said.
After checking into rehab, Spencer turned a complete 180 degrees. In rehab they showed him a video of Native Americans and alcohol, where he realized what a struggle alcoholism was for his people. He said much of the reason is because of their displacement.
He has used his starpower to start the organization Shift the Power, which puts spotlight on the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. Thirteen thousand of these people are without power, heat and water due to their water infrastructure.
“It was one of the worst catastrohpes since Katrina, but the mainstream media didn’t pick it up,” he said.
Denise Poindexter, program adviser with the Illini Union Board, said her favorite part of Spencer’s speech was “the fact that he was open and honest about his past.”
