"Welcome to the Rileys" Relation of a Fan
Isabella Van Dijk is a fan who attended to the Boston Film Festival and watched Welcome to the Rileys!
I went to their site and saw that it was possible for “random” people to attend the festival as well, so my next step was: find someone to
go with me. Eventually I found a friend that was willing to go and we bought the tickets (on the internet) on Monday night.
We took the train, tried not to get lost and when we got there, a sign with “Boston Film Festival” was waiting for us. I still had a little
shred of hope that Kristen would surprisingly still come, but of course that didn’t happen. This story would not have been this way if
that had happened. ;)
The movie was supposed to start at 6.45pm and 10 minutes before that a woman came to say that Melissa Leo would be arriving shortly and a few minutes after that we could go into the auditorium and get seated. Melissa Leo was introduced and the movie could finally START!
When I went in I expected this sentimental movie, but also for it to be a movie that I would have plenty to think about once it was finished, which is basically the purpose of an Indie. ;)
Imagine this: a car on fire on an empty parking lot in the dark. That’s the very first scene of the movie. And then it switches
to the Rileys and it kind of shows the viewers their life after the accident. You don’t know what caused their relationship to be the way
it is until later in the movie, when Kristen is already in the scenes. Doug is cheating on Lois (his wife), but when his mistress dies from
an acute heart attack he has no one to join him on his trip to New Orleans as he has to go on a two day convention. When the convention
gets too much for him on his very first day he decides to enter a random strip joint where he meets the one and only *drum rolls*
Mallory (aka KRISTEN). She offers to give him a personal lap dance and he refuses but when he runs into her again the same night he offers to bring her home. After which they make a deal: he pays her a 100$ every day, for that he can live at her house and he makes a silent vow to himself to help this 16-year old stripper get on her feet again. To make a long story short his wife decides to finally leave the house
(after 4 years of being scared of leaving the house after her daughter’s car crash) and going to New Orleans to see why her husband
isn’t coming home. When she arrives he tries to explain the situation, the whole thing turns out to get out of hand and Mallory gets mad at
Lois and Doug for them wanting her to be their little girl. They get in a huge fight, she runs away and the Rileys go back to Indianapolis.
Two weeks later she calls them with the message that she stopped working at the bar and is leaving for Vegas. For the Kristen-lovers, I can tell you that the camera shots are sometimes, how do I call it… Revealing. With her non-costumes and foul vocabulary, this is Kristen like you’ve never seen her. The amount of times the word f*ck was thrown into a sentence was too much to count, but the overall story was, like I expected, something to think about. As Melissa explained in the Q&A after the movie ended this movie wasn’t about New Orleans, but about the connection these people have to each other and what influence they have on each other’s lives. This movie may be considered unconventional, but it’s these kinds of movies that make you aware of these problems. If we’re talking about the acting in this movie I would say that it’s outstanding. Like I said, it’s Kristen like you’ve never seen her before. She swears, almost shows her private parts, TALKS about them like she talks about random subjects, sobs, is this badass girl throughout the movie, and acts the hell out of the screen.
Playing Bella is one thing, but playing a character like this, must have been so grueling for her. I cannot imagine how the shoots must
have been for her. I have even greater respect for her than before, I can tell you that.
As for the other actors, Melissa and James were also amazing. All the emotions that they wanted to convey were THERE. I have no other words than AMAZING. When everything was done, I was talking to my friend about the movie and we agreed about one thing in particular, this movie was special. It’s not a family movie; it’s just a movie that you need to see. It’s provocative and bold and yet again I repeat myself: go see it. You’ll go out not being able to NOT think about it and what message it conveys. I’d like to say that I really enjoyed myself. I loved the movie and couldn’t stop thinking of all the Kristen fans who would LOVE to see this movie once it comes out in November (in the USA). Once the movie and the Q&A that Melissa gave at the end of the movie was over we went outside of the theater, grabbed a McDonald’s and I know that I thought about how different Kristen would be for me, now that I’ve seen her in this role. She’s such an amazing actress that Bella won’t change for me, but the image of Kristen and what her badass-self dares to play is something definitely worth recognizing as special.

Neuer Film für Kristen?
Over the last couple of weeks, The Hollywood Cog has given me a few scoops that fall in the “interested” category, which is to say: The actors are “interested” in these particular projects, but they are not attached, they are not signed, and the projects themselves — while in development — have not even been greenlit. When an actors marks himself down as “interested,” it basically means he or she is saying, “Hey! The pitch sounds cool. Send my agent the script when it’s finished, and I’ll take a look.” One of those “interested” stories was Sandra Bullock and Steve Carell being interested in Tom Perotta’s Abstinence Teacher, which has already been reported elsewhere. These potential casting notes fall under that same category — they’re iffy, at best. So, if you must label, then label the following as rumors, though interesting ones:
Ron Howard and Brian Grazer are producing a Peter Craig scripted flick Little America, which is bizarrely being described as a cross between Black Dog and Speed. It’s about a 16-year-old prostitute who inadvertently kills a gang member, and then must go on the run. She hitches a ride with a truck driver who is hauling a lethal toxin. The truck driver and the prostitute bond during the chase. Kristen Stewart is interested in the role of prostitute, while Josh Brolin is interested in the role of the truck driver.

Radio fox Interview mit Kristen
As Kristen Stewart prepares to film Twilight: Breaking Dawn, she is also working to get her next movie, K-11, off the ground. K-11 will be directed by Stewart’s mother, Jules Mann-Stewart.
Stewart told Fox All Access.com that if the movie is made, working with her mother will be challenging, yet fun.
Das Interview könnt ihr euch HIER anhören=)
Joan Jett about Kristen
Kristen Stewart impressed Joan Jett when they worked together because she had “no head trips”.
Kristen portrays Joan in movie The Runaways, about the 70s girlband featuring Joan. The rocker admits she was initially unsure about turning her life into a film, but seeing how much Kristen put into the role made her realise she’d made the right choice.
“I thought Kristen was brilliant. She really wanted to nail it, and she did a lot of studying – to the point where, when I heard her sing I Love Playing With Fire, I felt sure they were playing my vocals,” Joan explained. “And she was so great to work with, so down to earth, no head trips at all.”
The movie shows how hard Joan and her bandmate Cherie Currie, portrayed by Dakota Fanning, worked to succeed. It also details their hard-partying lifestyle, which included drug taking and alcohol drinking.
Joan has now calmed down, and prefers staying home to going on wild nights out. “I’m not at all what people think,” she told the British edition of Grazia magazine. “They probably assume I’m out every night, going crazy, but that stuff’s gotten really boring for me. Nowadays if I’m not on the road, I’m in New York, hanging out with my animals.”

Fans trafen kristen& Rob
Ok here it is. My picture with Robert taken by Kristen in a resort hotel in Santa Barbara, July. They were very nice. They were sharing a meal eating on the same plate. I didn’t want to disturb them but I had to because I’ll never have this opportunity ever again. Kristen refused but its ok. She gave me an autograph instead.
Yes 4th of July weekend.
They seem like a normal couple. Just having dinner together. My friend heard Robert call kristen honey but I though I heard baby. I really don’t know for sure. hehe. The staff said they were staying in the villa so we really didn’t see them much around.
That was taken in California while I was having a vacation 2 months ago. I’m not form the US. They look like a normal couple to us. They were eating on the same plate, sitting next to each other, talking, kinda touchy but nothing major like kissing or hugging. Kristen’s really short but she’s prettier in person. Robert looks good too.”
My daughter has kristen’s autograph. She’s in California. I’ll ask her to scan it for me next time.
