With films by David Fincher, Walter Salles, and Olivier Assayas under her belt, and upcoming movies from Drake Doremus, Woody Allen, and Kelly Reichardt on the horizon, Kristen Stewart has found a steady groove of working with auteurs. And now she’s adding another big name to her CV.
The Wrap reports that the actress has joined Ang Lee‘s "Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk." She’ll join Joe Alwyn, Steve Martin and Garrett Hedlund in the Simon Beaufoy ("Slumdog Millionaire," "127 Hours") penned adaptation of Ben Fountain‘s National Book Award Finalist about a young infantryman, who survives a firefight in Iraq in 2005 and is honored, along with his fellow soldiers, by George W. Bush during the Dallas Cowboys halftime show at Thanksgiving. After the celebration, they all return to Iraq to serve their country.
Lensing will begin on the movie later this month, and while it might seem like a tight squeeze to finish it in time for the awards season, "Selma" was made within a similarly tight frame, so don’t count it out.
Google: Kristen Stewart ungrateful or KS arrogant and see the thousands of articles, interviews, and quotes that illustrate exactly how egotistical she is. That IS her reputation, it\’s not one person\’s opinion. There are 190,000 results for KS arrogant and 38,000 for ungrateful. So, sweetheart, do your research before you blindly praise someone with a reputation that sucks.
@ap bitter much?she doesn´t have that reputation at all only in you mind soplease go and support someone you may like this is not working and you come off like an immature teenager or like the ungrateful brat you paint her to be sweetheart grow up
I hope Lee knows what he\’s getting with Kristen Stewart. She rightly has a reputation as an arrogant, ungrateful actress and her most recent interview with the AP just reinforces that impression. Now she\’s openly being disrespectful of the Twilight fans who are just about the only fans she has left.
“Because of the lack of expectation of any of these [more recent] movies, there were
no moments that people had read in a book that were the most important thing in their
lives,” explains Stewart.
"THE most important things in their lives"!!!! Who does she think she is? The most
important actress in the world? Talk about an overinflated ego!!! She\’s off the charts!
The interviewer notes that Stewart nods when it’s suggested Twilight is now far from
her thoughts. She says, “Completely. I only have to think about that when someone
asks me.”
So the movie that made her famous, gave her millions in the bank, got her fashion
endorsements, all that, she craps all over as soon as it\’s done. No wonder she has the public persona of an ungrateful brat. Dissing fans of the Twilight franchise is the height of arrogance. Next she\’ll be telling them they can\’t breathe the same air as her and they can freeze to death!
Funny how people are just finding out what a talented actress Kristen Stewart is. This young actress has been working since she was nine years old. Obviously the French film industry saw this in her, and she was the first American actress in 30 years to win BSA for Clouds of Sils Maria. @Topaz, if playing supporting actress to Oscar award winning actress Julianne Moore and Juliette Binoche, I am positive any young talented actress in Hollywood today would chomp at the bit to get these roles In Still Alice and CoSM.
Of course the bitter RPattz stans come out as soon as her name is mentioned, isn\’t he getting married or something why don\’t the focus on that
Cool. She\’s working with the greatest and we all know how supportings roles in the right project can be especially juicy for a career like last year Emma Stone in Birdman, Keira Knightley in The Imitation Game and Laura Dern in Wild. Not to mention her role in the Woody Allen\’s film is probably a lead, so still cool.
And to @topaz who\’s celarly a robfan, he\’s booking mostly supporting role, she\’s booking more leading roles and is working with bigger directors.
my comment was a reply to @Gemma
nice try at discredit her role in the film if she has signed on to do it. It doesn\’t matter that its a supporting role because she probably has the female lead in the woody allen film she has signed on to as well as being the female lead in both american ultra and equals.
Filming are finishing on August so I don\’t think that it will be ready for awards season
Another supporting family member role! Maybe she can parlay this into another Oscar campaign. You know the old saying, if at first you don\’t succeed, try, try again.
Ang Lee, Woody Allen, and Kelly Reichardt? Not bad at all. Nice to see she was able to move beyond Twilight and have herself a promising career.
She has a small supporting role (leading\’s sister)
