Kristen Stewart Gets Tough, Yet Vulnerable for Camp X-Ray – Sundance Film Festival 2014
Kristen Stewart chats with Access guest correspondent Tim Vincent at the Sundance Film Festival 2014 premiere of her new movie, “Camp X-Ray.”
What’s it like debuting the movie at the festival? And, what were the challenges of playing the tough, yet...
Could Hollywood’s hottest werewolf – Taylor Lautner – play one of Marvel’s most beloved characters – Wolverine? “X-Men: First Class” writer and producer Bryan Singer believes so – but unfortunately, scheduling conflicts mean this fan boy dream is looking quite unlikely.
“I wanted Taylor [Lautner] to do it, I really did,” Bryan told Syfy’s Blastr.com on Sunday.
“He’s doing a movie in Pittsburgh called ‘Abduction,’ and then he’s got the next ‘Twilight’ movie,” he continued. “We talked about it a lot – he is a friend – and I really wanted to make it work.”
Bryan, who directed “X-Men” and X2: X-Men United,” warned that fans will most likely not see “The Twilight Saga” star fighting evil mutants.
“It just doesn’t look like it’s possible to do it,” he added.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, the original big screen Wolverine, Hugh Jackman, wondered if the 18-year-old actor was capable for sporting the mutant’s signature look.
“My only question is – can he grow mutton chops?” the “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” star recently told E! Online’s Marc Malkin, adding, “Actually, I think people would probably prefer him as a hairless Wolverine than a rather hairy-chested version — certainly about a billion young girls would.”
Previously announced and reported stars attached to “X-Men: First Class” include James McAvoy (as Charles Xavier), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Caleb Landry Jones (Banshee), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Alice Eve (Emma Frost) and new dad Aaron Johnson, who The Hollywood Reporter said will play Cyclops. According to Variety, Kevin Bacon is slated to play the movie’s villain and Jennifer Lawrence will play Mystique.
“Kick-Ass” helmer Matthew Vaughn is set to direct the film, which is scheduled for June 3, 2011.
“I’m not a huge fan,” 20-year-old Kristen told Access Hollywood’s Shaun Robinson on Saturday at “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” junket of the 140-character limiting website. “I just wouldn’t have one.”
When Shaun brought up that some fans Tweet K-Stew’s location when they happen to cross her path, the brunette beauty suggested she might have to start carrying ammo to stop it.
“Yeah, I’m gonna start walking around with a squirt gun,” she laughed. “And just be like, ‘No, it’s cool.’ I’m not trying, I mean, just to… like squirt their phones… Yeah, Twitter’s kind of crazy.”
Kristen added that she can tell when people are giving away her location.
“I mean phones… phones are like a dead giveaway,” she said. “It happens.”
While she isn’t likely to put the squirt gun idea into actual motion, despite her thoughts in that direction, Kristen, who showed up looking confident and comfortable at the “Eclipse” junket over the weekend, said fame is becoming easier to handle.
“I totally am more comfortable now,” she said. “I try not to have that thing that people have which is like a celebrity skin and I think that’s maybe where I run into problems.”
Kristen said one way she’s becoming able to handle the attention that has come with being a “Twilight” star has been by letting go.
“I have had so many people say, ‘Why don’t you just [play] the part? Just like, go smile, talk about whatever they want you to talk about,’” she recounted. “It’s like, ‘I do, I really try to do that.’ I guess I should get a face transplant or something… But it’s gotten weird. I’ve like, relinquished control.”
She did admit that everything doesn’t always go smoothly, despite her newfound celebrity wisdom.
“People are much better at doing this than I am and that’s fine and I’m getting better and whatever, but I’m not gonna try to force myself to do anything,” she added.
