new kstew interview on the set of "the runaways"
Here a piece of the interview
Last year Twilight mania went big screen with the release of the first feature film based on the best-selling novels. The movie cost a measly $US37 million ($A44.88 million) to shoot in Portland, Oregon, but generated almost $US400 million ($A485.14 million) in box office dollars around the world.
The actors cast as Bella and Edward, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, were transformed overnight from little-known actors to Hollywood's hottest young commodities.
With the help of Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, PerezHilton.com, TMZ.com etc, Twilight fans track Stewart and Pattinson 24/7.
When word leaked Stewart was shooting a new movie in downtown LA on the corner of Spring and 2nd Sts, the six girls sneaked out of home in the hope of snagging the starlet's signature.
The paparazzi were not far behind, elbow to elbow on the street corner with the teenyboppers attempting to get a shot of 19-year- old Stewart.
As a privileged, highly-respected (cough, cough) member of the media I didn't have to stand on a street corner to catch a glimpse, but was invited into the inner sanctum of Stewart's new movie, The Runaways.
This is not a Twilight film.
It is a biopic based on the drug and partying days of the 1970s teen girl band The Runaways that launched the careers of Joan Jett and Cherie Currie.
Stewart plays Jett, Dakota Fanning is Currie and Elvis Presley's granddaughter Danielle Riley Keough, in her first feature film, was cast as Currie's sister, Marie.
When you are on a set with Stewart it feels a little like standing in the heavily-fortified Green Zone in Baghdad.
Security is tight.
The cast's trailers are parked in an adjoining lot and arranged in a way to block the long lenses of the paparazzi attempting to shoot through the wire fence.
Photos of Stewart have become highly-profitable business because for The Runaways role she chopped off Bella's long locks and now sports Jett's trademark short, black hairdo.
The first Runaways star I spoke to was the very sweet Keough, who travelled the world as a model for Christian Dior and other top tier fashion houses before making her film debut in The Runaways.
Talk turns to the music she like to listen to.
"I like older music," she says.
"Bob Dylan, Daft Punk."
What about Elvis?
"Yeah," she laughs.
Fanning is almost unrecognisable as Cherie.
Her hair is bleach blonde, although you can see dark roots coming through.
What has happened to the girl that made me cry in I Am Sam?
"How do you like your hair?" I ask.
"It's a wig," she replies.
Ooops.
As the night drags on there is a rumour around set Stewart will not be available for an interview. At one point she walks out of her tailer and straight past me.
Not a good sign.
I chat with her personal assistant who assures me she will be chatting.
"She loves Australians," he says.
Stewart's mother is Australian and she has a border-collie dog named Oz.
