KRISTEN STEWART, JULIETTE BINOCHE ATTEND NYFF PREMIERE OF 'CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA'

Kristen Stewart sparkled on the red carpet Wednesday (8 OCTOBER) for the New York Film Festival premiere of 'Clouds of Sils Maria.'

She stars alongside Juliette Binoche.

Directed by French director Olivier Assayas, the film tells of an aging actress played by Binoche asked to star in a revival of a play she did earlier in her career. But now she plays an older character in the story, while a younger actress plays her original role.

Stewart, known for starring as Bella in the "Twilight" film series stars as the younger actress in the film.

The idea of shooting a film outside of the country with a French director and actor was certainly out of Stewart's comfort zone, but she loved the experience.

"Yeah, I like flying by the seat of my pants rather than packaging and delivering story to sell to people," Stewart said.

The 24-year old actress says she trusted director Olivier Assayas.

"I've always really gravitated toward filmmakers that somewhat, even if they're not European, kind of represent something that's a little bit more common when you go over there to make a movie. There is something languid and fluid and natural and brave about it without nailing down exactly what you're gonna do you jump in and know that the experience is what you want and the result is gonna be whatever it's gonna be. So it's a huge risk to take," Stewart said.

Critics have heralded Stewart's performance in the film.

When asked how it felt to have some positive acclaim again, the actress simply responded: "Of course, yeah."

Assayas wasn't sure how Stewart was going to work out, but once they started shooting, he was sure he made the right choice.

"It's so incredibly courageous of her. She's the one who's making the big step. I write the spot, which is really tailored for her in many ways, so I ask her to be part of my film," Assayas said.

The film is currently on the festival circuit and will be released in the United States sometime in 2015.

KRISTEN STEWART HAS THREE FILMS AT NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL; ADMITS SHE'S A WORKAHOLIC

Kristen Stewart admits she's a workaholic after bringing three films to the New York Film Festival.

"Oh yeah, I'm totally addicted man," said the actress from the red carpet Wednesday (5 OCT. 2016).

"Like I'm a crazy, compulsive, like I get super obsessed with stuff, you know, which is to a fault but it's served me well."

Stewart was the guest of honor at a dinner thrown by the Lincoln Center Film Society.

Before going inside, she also commented on her intensity, the type of director she hopes to become and reinventing herself after "Twilight."

For the latter, she claims it wasn't intentional.

"Oh, honestly, it was not like a tactical approach," said Stewart.

"I've really always known that if I have a certain dynamic with someone or a conversation, it's either leading to productivity or not. I definitely thank you for that question because it implies that I've like by chance seemingly designed a career I totally got lucky to have."

Since the "Twilight" franchise, the actress has quietly amassed an impressive body of work, including a trio of very different films at this year's festival.

She already premiered "Certain Women," directed by Kelly Reichardt, earlier this week. The festival will screen the upcoming "Personal Shopper." And Stewart will walk the red carpet again for Ang Lee's "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" next week.

Besides acting, Stewart aspires to become a director too.

Working with Lee and Reichardt gave her unique perspective, especially since the two take a completely different approach to directing a film.

"It's weird. I think I fall somewhere in between wanting to be really surgical and technical and in control of absolutely everything but at the same time I'm wanting to see something live and breathe and I think they both do that completely differently, but they both accomplish the same thing," Stewart said.

"I think they are both absolute geniuses when it comes to being composed and when it comes to being aware of something that we're not aware of. They see the invisible and they capture it and that's what I would like to do while making movies."

Reichardt shot "Certain Women" on 16mm film, working around the limitations of that to create a visually poetic story surrounding three women whose lives intersect in Montana.

Ang Lee worked the opposite end of the field, shooting war drama, "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk," using high-frame rate digital capture.

Stewart admits she leans toward Reichardt's style, suggesting it was motivational, making her want to start directing right away.

"Seeing Kelly steel train her way through a movie that seems so natural but is so deliberate, I love her. So yeah, it makes me want to work now, like start working," Stewart said.

"Certain Women" will be at select U.S. theaters from 14 October 2016, while "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" kicks off on November 11.

"Personal Shopper" isn't in theaters until next year.

And also I think rather than having a bunch of actors in the room and we kind of find an interesting subject and sort of explore it in improv and pull it together - that's the stuff I like to act in, but seeing Kelly steel train her way through a movie that seems so natural but is so deliberate, she's just like, to me, (raises her hand up high), I love her. So yeah, it makes me want to work now, like start working, yeah."

MICHELLE WILLIAMS, KRISTEN STEWART, LAURA DERN WALK NYFF RED CARPET FOR 'CERTAIN WOMEN'

It was a glamorous red carpet Monday (3 OCT. 2016), as Michelle Williams, Kristen Stewart and Laura Dern arrived for the New York Film Festival premiere of "Certain Women."

The film - from writer-director Kelly Reichardt - tells a trio of stories of intersecting lives in Montana.

It's based on short stories by Maile Meloy.

Stewart, who plays a high school teacher in the film, loves how the story depicts "the normal lives of women."

"It's not very typical for people to focus on the normal lives of women. It's always movies about exceptional, hero women that overcome great adversity to do a thing. And it's like, no, these are three women sort of doing very mundane but like really engaging, tiresome, really topical, current things. And that usually is not focused on," Stewart said.

"The only way that that can be focused on is if you make it interesting and Kelly's perspective makes it interesting. And you can look at any of her previous work, every woman that's been written into her movies are, you know - she doesn't do archetype movies. There are powerful woman stories now, but they're usually pretty standardized and she's sort of the opposite of that, so I'm so proud to be a part of it."

Reichardt went "old school" when it came to shooting the film, choosing to capture it on 16MM film stock. Stewart explained how that impacted her performance.

"The time constraints are kind of something. You can't just roll and find it," Stewart said.

"But that's like a pretty typically American indie-style thing and her vibe is different. She's very composed. She's not like, 'Oh, we'll just take it off sticks and throw it on his shoulder and we're going to dance around and you can say whatever you want.' She's like, 'No, no. You're going to say the lines and I'm going to compose my shot. We're going to shoot a scene.' Yeah, so I think that's pretty special."

Dern also embraced being captured on film again.

"It's amazing. I hope to, you know, be around film more and more. I love all of it in its own unique way, but I love film very much, so... We just need labs. We need labs and hopefully many more filmmakers will continue to explore with film," Dern said.

As for Williams, she's no stranger when it comes to working with Reichardt, having starred in her previous films, "Meeks Cutoff" and "Wendy and Lucy."

"Working with my old pal Kelly Reichardt, it's our third movie together, so whatever she asks, the answer is always yes," Williams said.

"And then when I was there, I discovered these great actors that I got to work with."

"Certain Women" opens in U.S. theaters on 14 October 2016.

KRISTEN STEWART, BLAKE LIVELY MARVEL AT PERIOD ERA 'CAFE SOCIETY'

Woody Allen continues to stay with his blistering pace of pushing out a movie a year. His latest entry, "Cafe Society" features Kristen Stewart and Blake Lively.

Set in the late 1930's, the film shifts from the Golden Age of Hollywood to New York's nightclub life. Stewart who plays the part-time love interest of Jesse Eisenberg's character was impressed on the perfection that went into the clothes and sets.

"It was fun on an aesthetic level because everyone who works on Woody's movies are incredibly detail-oriented; the costumes were perfect, you know, they were exquisitely built. On a surface level, it was shiny and fun. I think the time period serviced the story perfectly," Stewart said.

Stewart loves the modern spin on period life that her character Vonnie takes on.

"In the late 1930s it would not necessarily be OK for a young woman to not feel some shame or guilt surrounding somewhat unconventional relationships. If she can actually look back on her life and consider the hypotheticals and value them and not feel like she made mistakes. I thought that was super modern and something that inserted into the late 1930s was like, 'Whoa, she's interesting to me," Stewart said.

Lively also plays a character named Vonnie, though she's first introduced as Veronica.

"Doing a period film with Woody Allen and Vittorio and the way that they tell the story is so beautiful. But also, Woody, music is so intrinsic to he does, and 1930s music specifically. So to do a movie that takes place right in his wheelhouse of rhythm is actually really neat," Lively said.

She said part of the charm is how comfortable Allen made her feel.

"There is a level of confidence that comes too because he knows what he's doing, he has it down pat. He's not going to go through the motions with you, so you feel taken care of. You feel like you're going to be in a good movie," Lively said.

Then she added: "A Woody Allen movie is a Woody Allen movie, so stepping into that is a level of security."

"Cafe Society" opens in US theaters on Friday.

KRISTEN STEWART BRINGS GUANTANAMO BAY FILM TO SUNDANCE

Sorry, "Twilight" fans, Kristen Stewart is not sticking with young adult fare as her acting career continues in the wake of the blockbuster franchise that launched her career.

"Camp X-Ray," Stewart's new film that had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival Friday (17 JAN. 2014), tells the story of a young woman who joins the Army and ends up as a guard at Guantanamo Bay, the notorious U.S. prison in Cuba where some of the most dangerous terrorist suspects are detained.

Stewart admitted the role terrified her at first.

"That's the desirable struggle. If I'm not afraid of something, it's probably not worth doing for me," she said. "In this case I just thought it was a really -- I hadn't worked in like two years, hadn't found anything that really got me going -- and I just thought that this story of a young girl who is sort of so pragmatic and logical and practical, like you know, very self-assured based on things that she can grasp -- and so if she can control every situation and join the Army and be a good person and, you know, fill all these responsibilities that she's been brought up to fulfill, and yet still sort of feel like she's not doing the right thing, because Guantanamo it's like this slightly greyer area -- and so she's not getting as much back from what she thought she was putting into it -- and so I thought that that was an interesting struggle."

The 23-year-old actress traveled to Guantanamo Bay in preparation for the part and said what struck her most was the order.

"I think my idea of what it was like down there was not correct. It is clean. I know that sounds ridiculous and very ignorant, but it's really, it's like clinical, you know what I mean?" she said. "Standard operation procedure is like the bible. And to have such like set guidelines for something like that is, for somebody who really wants to follow the rules and do the right thing, when they're kind of confusing -- like they should be the most straightforward thing ever -- you know my character, and this is very individual to this project, I'm not making any grand statements about anything, but you know my character definitely goes through a process of questioning whether or not she's doing the right thing, but she's following the rules."

Stewart didn't get very personal on the red carpet at Sundance, but did say she finds it difficult to watch her work on the screen.

"I watch, literally, like with a fine-toothed comb," she said. "Like, it's the most, it's sort of deathly uncomfortable, but it completes the process. It's a necessary. And it's awesome. It just makes me a little nauseous."

KRISTEN STEWART RE-EMERGES ON TORONTO RED CARPET

"Twilight's" newest vampire re-emerged in public Thursday night at the Toronto Film Festival.

Kristen Stewart made her first public appearance in nearly two months.

After publicly apologizing for having a tryst with the married director of her last film, "Snow White and the Huntsman," the 22-year star went into lockdown mode.

Hundreds of fans eagerly awaited her return as she walked the red carpet for her latest film, "On the Road," based on the classic Jack Kerouac novel.

Stewart posed for photographers, spoke to a few television crews (while paired with co-star Garret Hedlund, and signed lots of autographs for fans. Many of them had waited since the early morning.

Dressed in a slinky, floral Zuhair Murad dress, Stewart held her head high but showed signs of nervousness.

Several times she broke away from the press line to pose for pictures with fans behind the barricade.

At times, it seemed that the fans were providing the support Stewart needed to carry on through mobbed press event.

Stewart says she likes the idea of books being made into movies, and that "On the Road" is one of her favorite books.

"Yeah, specifically to this case there were untapped resources that we were allowed to sort of be privy too. Being somebody that has loved the book their whole life, I think to be allowed to know the information that we knew and be able to bring it to life in a way that was connected to the people and not just the book and the fiction of it. It happened. It wasn't just a novel. I think it pays homage to all of that, and it feels good," she said.

But did she ever think she would act in the big screen version back when she first read it?

"I was so young when I read the book, there wasn't a second's thought that I would ever play this part, so when it came about I drove away from my meeting with Walter absolutely vibrating, shaking, so yeah," Stewart said.

Back in July Stewart admitted to having an affair with 41-year old director Rupert Sanders. That announcement had a rippling effect, putting her romantic relationship with "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson on definite hold.

When asked how she was doing, Stewart responded: "I'm doing fine." Then she walked away.

STORYLINE

FINAL 'TWILIGHT' PREMIERE FOR PATTINSON, STEWART

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were greeted by hundreds of screaming fans at the final "Twilight" film's premiere.

Fans had camped in a tent city outside the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles for five days for the opportunity to see the stars of "Breaking Dawn, Part 2" at the premiere Monday (12 November 2012).

Pattinson wore a green Gucci suit and Stewart a strapless nude Zuhair Murad dress for the occasion, which they marked with remembrances and appreciation for the vampires-and-werewolves series' die-hard fans.

"I mean what other movie has this premiere about 20 times for the same movie. It's crazy. I don't think I'm ever going to experience this again," Pattinson said.

Stewart said she expected that fans will find a way to keep "Twilight" alive even after the final film.

"I mean, they would be nutcases if they suddenly didn't care about those characters in a year's time," she said. "I carry every character I've ever played with me. And in this case, I had Bella for five years, so that's made an enormous mark."

Stewart said she's unlikely to do a movie with as many viewers ever again.

"I think that what I get most out of every experience I have on a film set is that common feeling, and I'm never going to have that with a million people again," she said.

The 22-year-old former child actress also had praise for 12-year-old Mackenzie Foy, who plays her daughter Renesmee in the film.

"She should be an actor. When she said she wanted to direct movies, I think every member of the cast was like, 'When are you going to call me? Because I'll work for you.' And that's really rare," Stewart said. "That doesn't happen. She was very young. I was close to her age as well when I started, so I could totally feel her on that."

Taylor Lautner, who plays the werewolf Jacob, said he'd remain friends with both of his lead co-stars.

"And that's an absolute miracle. We got along so well. But just because of the time spent, Rob and Kristen are some of my closest friends. And that's huge," Lautner said.

He agrees with Stewart that fans will find a way to continue "Twilight."

"They'll never give up on this. Even though the movies are finished, there's so many things still left. And our fans are unreal. So this will live on forever," he said.

The real-life relationship between Pattinson and Stewart has been the subject of much media attention, bringing an edge to even questions about their on-screen roles as parents of Renesmee.

Michael Sheen said he was impressed by the actors' ability to survive the media spotlight.

"For you to be in the eye of that storm when you're still very, very young -- I don't know how they've managed to weather it like they have," Sheen said. "The fact that they've got through it and they're here still today, is amazing. So I'm sure they'll sigh a big sigh of relief to be able to move on."

And Elizabeth Reaser called the two actors "saints" for their professionalism and manners.

"I've known them from the very beginning. And I've seen everything around us get very insane and everything around them get crazy. And I've watched Kristen just become a woman and I really admired how she's handled it," Reaser said.

Also in attendance at the premiere: Rocker Stevie Nicks and other franchise stars including Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed and Ashley Greene.

"Breaking Dawn, Part 2" is in theatres on 16 November.

"It's a very quiet, tiny, thoughtful, little movie. It's segmented into three little pieces and there isn't much of an obvious through line. I think if you were to pick one I think it's all about a particular person who desires something that they can't have and I was drawn to this character because of her sort of distracted nature and the missed connections that she makes with another character and the sort of tone of it. I love Kelly's (Reichardt) movies. She focuses on things that typical filmmakers just wouldn't. It's always the little things in between the cinematic moments. It's always the little, undetected and visible communications. She's really good at highlighting the unsaid and I wanted to do something like that."

KRISTEN STEWART: SUNDANCE IS FOR 'ESOTERIC FILM NERDS'

Kristen Stewart says the Sundance Film Festival is for "esoteric film nerds" and that's why it matters.

The actress premiered her film "Certain Women" Sunday (24 JAN. 2016) at the festival.

On the red carpet, she talked about why Sundance celebrates and encourages a variety of story-telling, more so than a mainstream Hollywood production company.

"That production company wants to make money and here, they just like to showcase film and highlight work that they admire," explained Stewart. "It's an institution for independent film, it's like there aren't too many places to celebrate little, tiny movies that most people don't see and, you know, for two weeks out of the year we go like, 'This is the most important thing' because it's a really close-knit, little family."

Stewart described "Certain Women" as "a very quiet, tiny, thoughtful, little movie. It's segmented into three little pieces and there isn't much of an obvious through line. I think if you were to pick one I think it's all about a particular person who desires something that they can't have," she said.

"Certain Women" also stars Michelle Williams and Laura Dern but they weren't at the Sundance premiere. Cast members Jared Harris, Lily Gladstone and Sara Rodier and director Kelly Reichardt did attend with Stewart.

The Sundance Film Festival runs through Jan. 31.

KRISTEN STEWART TURNS 30 ON

KRISTEN STEWART ON JODIE FOSTER: 'SHE'S A BALLER ON EVERY LEVEL'

Kristen Stewart first met Jodie Foster on the set of their 2002 thriller "Panic Room," but had idolized the Academy Award winning actress since childhood.

"I watched 'Taxi Driver' when I was far too young to watch it and I know this because I was already saying that Jodie Foster was my favorite actress before I was cast as her daughter in a movie called 'Panic Room' when I was 10. Technically she was cast as my mom, which at 10 I thought just made perfect sense. I was like 'me and Jodie? Done!' She came onto the movie late and I was totally there to show her the ropes. She was my first adult friend that was mine," Stewart recalled.

As Foster received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Wednesday (4 MAY 2016), Stewart was front and center to celebrate her long-time friend.

"She's a baller on every level," Stewart told the crowd. "It's out-of-control. She did everything young. She kicked Yale's ass, she won Oscars, she became a filmmaker herself, she created a family and still is just normal and cool and kind. She got a mariachi band to play at my 11th birthday party, which I thought was very, very nice. She's always encompassed what I thought was the prime example of where you want to be and she's been there for me."

After the ceremony Foster returned the praise:

"She's lovely and so supportive and she's herself, which always makes me happy to see somebody who's really them self and still is a major celebrity," said Foster of Stewart. "I knew it the minute I saw her. She just was an extraordinary child and I just kept thinking the whole time that I was basically living with her in a box that was 10 feet by 15 feet, thinking 'I just wonder what she's going to be like when she grew up?' And I was pregnant at the time so I had a lot of thinking about what a child would be and who she might be and all that kind of stuff."

Foster, whose many screen credits include "Taxi Driver" and "Silence of the Lambs," said she had hoped to receive the honor for directing rather than acting.

"I don't know if you guys know this, but I grew up probably 10 blocks from here off Cahuenga and had to pass this street every day as I was on my way to school. And my mother told us if she ever found us on Hollywood Boulevard we probably shouldn't bother coming home, but we loved it. And it still has all of that excitement that it did as a child. The star ceremony is something that I've always thought of and dreamed of. I told my children when they asked me 'why don't you have a star on Hollywood Boulevard?' I said 'I was waiting to have the opportunity to have one as a director,'" she said.

Foster's next project, "Money Monster," opens May 13. It is the fourth film she's directed and stars George Clooney as a finance guru taken hostage on live television while his producer (Julia Roberts), in the control booth, remains in his earpiece throughout the ordeal.

STEWART'S AFFAIR UNLIKELY TO HARM 'TWILIGHT' TAKE

"Twilight" fans are heartbroken by Kristen Stewart's public admission that she cheated on her boyfriend and co-star Robert Pattinson. Some on Twitter are blasting the actress with no shortage of nasty names, while others are pledging support for Pattinson, calling him "sexy" and promising they'd be faithful.

But the scandal involving the on- and off-screen couple is unlikely to affect box-office returns for the final installment in the vampire-romance juggernaut due this fall, or even harm the image of the 22-year-old actress.

"It could make her actually more alluring," said Ian Drew, a senior editor at Us Weekly magazine, which features compromising photos of Stewart and her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders in its latest issue, out Friday (27 July 2012.) "It's not like Sally Field did this, so it could actually enhance her appeal and make her even bigger."

Stewart, whom Forbes named Hollywood's highest-paid actress last month, issued an apology to People magazine Wednesday, saying she is "deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected."

"This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob," she said. "I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."

Stewart and Pattinson, 26, have been in a relationship for several years after meeting on the set of "Twilight," in which they play lovers.

Sanders, 41, who is married and has two children, followed with his own apologetic statement to People.

"I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family," he said. "My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world, I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together."

A spokesman for the director confirmed the statement Wednesday. Representatives for Stewart and Pattinson did not respond to requests for comment.

Fans embraced Stewart as human girl Bella Swan and Pattinson as vampire suitor Edward Cullen from the moment they were announced in 2008 as the stars of the big-screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's popular novels. The real-life romance that bloomed between the co-stars only made things more magical for the mostly female fan base.

"The fans are so romantically tied to this movie in both the real-life romance and the on-screen romance, so I'm sure this is hitting them pretty hard," said box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Hollywood.com. "They think of Bella and Edward and Kristen and Rob like family - characters they absolutely love on screen and in real life. For a 14-year-old girl, this is probably heartbreaking. But are girls not going to see the movie because of this? Heck no."

Reports of infidelity could even draw more viewers to theaters for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2," he said: "They might go just so they can be even more mad at Kristen."

Pattinson became an instant heartthrob with his casting as the charming, elegant Edward Cullen. He was included among People magazine's "Sexiest Men Alive" in 2008 and has won similar titles from readers of Glamour and OK magazines.

"The shocking thing is (Stewart) cheated on Robert Pattinson, who is this guy who everyone in the world wants," Drew said.

Fans might feel it when they watch the film in November.

"It sort of intrudes on their universe a little bit," he said. "This is the ill-fated romance from the screen that ended up working on screen and in real life as well. That made it more believable and more sellable, so it punctures holes in that."

Still, moviegoers might find the changed dynamic compelling.

"There's a soap opera going on off-screen, and people love to follow that," Dergarabedian said. "I think it only serves to raise awareness of the movie."

"Equals" is one of 21 films competing for the festivals top prize, the Golden Lion.
