Kristen Stewart as a Prostitute in ‘Rileys’
5 December 2009 2:08 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Kristen Stewart, the navel-gazing star of the record-breaking Twilight saga, is going indie. The 19-year-old actress is appearing in two movies at the Sundance Film Festival next month, one a premiere title and the other a film playing in competition. This is her third year in a row with an entry at the Park City, Utah festival.
The first is the rock biopic The Runaways with her The Twilight Saga: New Moon co-star Dakota Fanning, as well as Scout Taylor-Compton, Michael Shannon, Alia Shawkat, and Tatum O’Neal. Stewart plays Joan Jett in the coming-of-age story and all-female 70’s group.
In Jake Scott’s Welcome to the Rileys, Stewart is a prostitute and a stripper named Mallory who comes into the lives of the Rileys, a couple (James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo) struggling with the death of their daughter. (Full synopsis is below.) Rumors have persisted that Stewart went completely nude in certain scenes, »

Sundance Reveals 2010 Non-Competition Slate
4 December 2009 5:24 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
On Wednesday the Sundance Film Festival unveiled the films competing in late January 2010. Yesterday they announced the rest of the line-up of independent films vying for attention for industry types and the curious public.
The entire list of 53 films is below, but here are a few that stood out to me from the premieres alone:
Mumblecore directors the Duplass Brothers, have a new, untitled movie starring an unusually high-profile cast compared to their usual improvisational crew. John C. Reilly, Marisa Tomei, Jonah Hill, and Catherine Keener. Reilly and Keener are actually in two films at the 2010 festival.
The Company Men, starring Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner, Maria Bello, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper, Rosemarie DeWitt about corporate downsizing.
Rodrigo Cortes’ Buried, starring Ryan Reynolds as a man buried alive in a coffin. I’ve read the script and its great. More on that as soon as I can.

Review: 'New Moon'
4 December 2009 2:47 PM, PST | Denver Movies Examiner | See recent Denver Movies Examiner news »
Like an emo edition of Tiger Beat put to film, The Twilight Saga's New Moon is everything one would expect from the follow-up to the monstrously successful 2008 film Twilight: slow-motion entrances, topless guys and a bevy of brooding and melodramatic sappiness (Edward's voice is not the only thing that drips like honey). For its mammoth fan base with an insatiable appetite for anything related to this series, New Moon will be an instant classic. Yet, beneath the 24/7 coverage of series stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, along with the millions of adoring and moonstruck fans, there is a simple story of love, passion and CGI wolves.
If New Moon appears a lot like the classic Shakespearean tale Romeo & Juliet, it's no coincidence. The film, and series author Stephanie Meyer, lifts many themes from the story and then signals to audiences that, yes, this is Romeo and Juliet only »
Alyson Hannigan sounds off on ‘Buffy’ movie
4 December 2009 1:07 PM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Hot stuff Alyson Hannigan sounded off on plans for a big-screen adaption of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV series, which is in affect, a remake of the 1992 film with the same name.
Hannigan, who is fantastic in the CBS show How I Might Your Mother, talked about the “mistake” that would be a Buffy movie without show creator Joss Whedon.
“[It's] a very big mistake in my opinion. I mean, if Joss isn’t involved, it’s only the title,” says the 35-year-old.
When asked if she would return to reprise her role as Willow, Hannigan added: “Not without Joss. Joss is the only reason that we would go back. I mean, it’s just ridiculous to think of that TV show without Joss. That’s just silly to me. And all the fans know that, too, so I don’t know what they’re thinking.”

[TV] Pale Force
4 December 2009 5:00 AM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Pale Force is ridiculous. Let's just get that out of the way. Originally aired in pieces on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," it follows the adventures of a superhero called Pale Man, a taller, fitter version of creator Jim Gaffigan. Pale Man is the coolest most popular guy on the planet. Everyone loves him and admires him deeply, including Conan O'Brien, whose dream comes true when he becomes Pale Man's sidekick.
However ridiculous it may be, Pale Force is absurd in a completely awesome way. Every little episode, under the pretense of pale jokes, is basically an ongoing jab at Conan: in the Pale Force universe, he's assumed to either be gay or a woman by virtually everyone who comes across him, and, let's face it, for good reason; he's effeminate, bizarrely weak, and has a squeaky pre-pubescent voice (provided by Gaffigan).
That -- Gaffigan's steadfast devotion to keeping the »

3 December 2009 11:01 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
On Thursday, December 3, Sundance Institute has announced movies which are included on the non-competition line-up of the 26th Sundance Film Festival. Among the list, there are "The Runaways", a biopic starring Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart, and "The Killer Inside Me" that has Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba as part of the cast. Both movies are enlisted in Premieres category.
Non-competitive categories usually focus on bigger-budget films with well-known stars and a distributor already in place. However, organizers of this year's festival have added a new section, called Next, which is dedicated to extremely low-budget movies that cost under $500,000.
Speaking about the new category, Sundance lead programmer Trevor Groth stated, "There's this whole movement of getting back to the low-budget aesthetic in storytelling, to the kind of film we'd see a couple decades ago. That's why we created this new section called Next, which is a direct response to that »

Sundance 2010 Non-Competition Line-Up Looks Strong
3 December 2009 3:30 PM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Yesterday we got the list for the films playing in competition at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and today we get the rest of the films that will be featured and there are quite a few that make 2010 look much stronger based on pedigree alone than I have seen in quite some time. Variety has a big write-up detailing the categories and more on the festival right here, but I am just going to offer up the titles and let you sort it all out.
The titles already in the RopeofSilicon database are linked.

All films are from the United States unless otherwise noted Abel (Mexico-u.S.), the directorial debut of actor Diego Luna, written by Luna and Agusto Mendoza, about a peculiar young boy who, as he blurs reality and fantasy, takes over the responsibilities of a family man in his father's absence.

'The Runaways,' Ryan Reynolds In 'Buried,' Highlight The Final Sundance Annoucements
3 December 2009 3:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Yesterday, the "in competition" titles at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival were announced. As anyone who's ever attended knows, however, that's only half the party. Plenty of films screen there that aren't in competition, and there are some big ones popping up this year. We know this because the finalized list was released just this afternoon.
The big one for many of you readers is undoubtedly "The Runaways." You Twlighters know all about this one, a biopic focusing on the '70s rock band that launched the careers of Lita Ford (Scout Taylor-Compton) and Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart). It's the world premiere, so I expect this year's festival to see an influx of Twilighter fans who can't get enough of their KStew. Not to mention "New Moon" newcomer Dakota Fanning, who plays Cherie Currie.
There's also the Ryan Reynolds-starring thriller, "Buried," which is part of the fest's always-excellent series of midnight screenings. »

3 December 2009 2:34 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Yesterday we gave you a list of all the films playing in-competition at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. We now have the list of the films playing out-of-competition and they’re divided up into four categories: Premieres, Next, Spotlight, and Park City at Midnight. Since combining these lists would be a lot to read for just one article, we’ve broken it up to give each category its own article.
Know that while there are a lot of films playing in-competition, most of the films to get buzz will be coming from the out-of-competition categories. First up are the premiers which include John Wells’ The Company Men starring Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones and Kevin Costner; Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini’s The Extra Man starring Katie Holmes, John C. Reilly, and Paul Dano; Get Low starring Robert Duvall and Bill Murray; Michael Winterbottom’s The Killer Inside Me starring Casey Affleck, »

Full Sundance line-up announced...and it's a doozy!
3 December 2009 2:08 PM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
In addition to the competition titles which were announced yesterday, Sundance has announced the remainder of their line-up and it includes some titles we’re already familiar with along with a huge number of premieres.
Also on the docket are two new series: Next which showcases low/no budget films and Spotlight which highlights films which festival programmers deem worthy of extra love including Enter the Void (review) and Lourdes (the trailer for which I really liked).
I’m particularly excited to see some of the titles in the New Frontier program but overall, the line-up is an impressive one but the Kristen Stewart fan in me is excited to see her turn as Joan Jett in The Runaways and I think it’s fair to say we’re all dying to see Vincenzo Natali’s hotly anticipated Splice (trailer).
In the Midnight section, Adam Green's Frozen is sounding mighty find, »

Photos: Kristen Stewart as a stripper in ‘Welcome to the Rileys’
3 December 2009 7:11 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Since playing a stripper is a rite of passage for most young actresses, Twilight starlet Kristen Stewart is bound by Hollywood law to star in Welcome to the Rileys, a film that centers around Mallory (Stewart), a troubled teenager who becomes a stripper. On a business trip to New Orleans, a damaged man, played by James Gandolfini, meets her. Later, he and his wife, portrayed by Melissa Leo, try to help Mallory. The young woman, in return, unites the grieving couple who has drifted apart after the death of their daughter.
We’ve scored some pics from the upcoming film which shows Stewart in da’ sheets. It’s not hot, however, it is somewhat interesting from a clinical view.
Welcome to the Rileys is directed by Jake Scott with a pending debut at the 2010 Sundance Festival in Park City. It will compete in the Us Dramatic Competition.
