ComicBookMovieThough several actresses has either expressed interest in playing Lane, or have been rumored to have read for the role, today's latest rumor via Gregory Littley, a Branding Consultant and Creative director who specializes in social media, has Twlight's Kristen Stewart in the mix.
Littleylittley I'm hearing Kristen Stewart has officially read for Lois Lane in Zack Snyder's #Superman reboot. #PlsStopThis.

I don't know what to think about his hashtag... let's just focus on the rumored possibility and not dwell on this guy's attempt for his 15 minutes of fame.
Updated! More talks about Kristen as Lois Lane @vonch
After Henry Cavill is cast as Superman, the talks have now moved on to who will be the leading lady. Hollywood Insider has heard some names of possible Lois Lane depicter and they are Kristen Stewart ("Twilight"), Jessica Biel ("Blade Trinity"), Rachel McAdams ("Sherlock Holmes"), Dianna Agron ("Glee") and Malin Akerman ("Watchmen").
Stewart reportedly has been mentioned in relation to the part for about a week but she might not even take the role because there are many other juicy offers for her. As for Biel and McAdams, they are allegedly the leading contenders. Agron, like Stewart, has read for "The Man of Steel" movie though some might consider her too young. Akerman was also said in the contention but now that Cavill, who is younger than her, is cast as Clark Kent, her chance might be reduced to zero.
This all, however, should be considered as just rumors for neither Warner Bros. Pictures nor the actresses' camps have released statement about the report.
Zack Snyder is on board for the directing duty for the new Superman film that might be projected for December 2012 release. Christopher Nolan joins the board of producers while David S. Goyer and Jonathan Nolan are writing the script. source

Film Critics Love Kristen's Performance in 'Welcome to the Rileys'
Amazing compilation by luacheia99 via Celebrity Crushes
Don't forget the DVD comes out tomorrow February 1st.
Critics Love Kristen Stewart’s Performance In WTTR (ONLY 11 Negatives Out 118)
Kristen Stewart was cast in Welcome to the Rileys before the Twilight movies became a cultural phenomenon. (As was the case of The Runaways and also with Walter Salles’ upcoming On the Road.)
She was just 18 and still without finish her participation in the filming of Welcome To The Rileys, when she had to leave the set of filming to do the promo tour for the first installment of the Twilight series. After weeks she returned for wrap up the filming but her world had been changed completely… The “Twilight Tsunami” had placed her in the middle of a big frenzy to which she certainly was not prepared psychologically.
Suddenly she was over exposed 24 hours a day, having dozen of paparazzi urging her take an angry posture, people bullying her like Perez Hilton, thousands of teenagers and also grown ups fighting over her, people from the entertainment and gossip business standardizing her without know her well or to have watched her body of work and from the Business itself, analysing all, each breath she took, each action and each word. She became a phenomenon herself! A brutal example of “over exposure”! If you put the name “Kristen Stewart” in the Google, you will have 26.600.000 results! She lost the human right of growing up as a person and as an actress before became an selfconscious adult and consecrated actress at the public eyes.
People like Nathalie Portman, Annette Benning, Hilary Swank, Michelle Williams between others, in the last two THR roundtables with the actresses, said that they thank God everyday for have had time to grow up as a person and as an artist, mostly away from the public eyes! No one born perfect in any way!
You will see below that this “over exposure” certainly interfered in the analyse of some reviewers.
Rotten Tomatoes (RT) had 60 reviews, MetaCritic (MC) had 29 reviews, Movie Review Intelligence (MRI) had 29 reviews and the Movie Review Query Engine (MRQE) had 40 reviews but some reviews are represented in the two or three or four of them, so in the end, we have much less than 158 reviews but there are also a lot of reviews that neither of these sites listed. In the end, we found 118 reviews from professional film critics, included 38 so call Top Critics).
P – Positive review (97 reviews)
P/N – Mixed review or not gave opinion or is indifferent (10 reviews)
N – Negative review (11 reviews)
The first lesson that we learned about film critics reviews was: Doesn’t matter how well the film was reviewed or how well it did in the box office, the review for the actor’s performances is independent. So… You can’t judge an actor’s performance just looking the scores of the movie in sites like RT, MC, MRI or MRQE. You have to read all!
P 01 – Al Alexander – Milford Beacon - “…But then, with actors the caliber of Gandolfini, Leo and Stewart, how could he fail.” “…They (the actors) bail him out at every ridiculous turn with performances that are as rich as they are heartfelt. But their greatest gift is their ability to inject realism into a story that could only take place inside a writer’s mind.”
P 02 – Aldo Singer – Indie Media Magazine – “…To Stewart’s defense, she delivered a solid performance that all ‘Bella’ fans should take note of, she’s hardcore.” …The film could have used Stewart a lot earlier then when she entered. The more scenes Gandolfini and Stewart had together, the better this film became.”
P 03 – Alexis L. Loinaz – Metromix.Com – “But a trio of superb performances…” “Stewart creates the loudest bang as a lost child who taunts Doug with “cooter” come-ons (her word) and a potty mouth…”
P/N 04 – Andrew Schenker – Slant Magazine – (His review just talk about script and director’s work. He didn’t like at all the movie! Because of that, he don’t talk about the performances! So… I’ll put this review as “not given”.)
P 05 – Anthony Breznican – USA Today (TOP CRITIC) – “Kristen Stewart’s shocking depiction of a self-destructive 16-year-old stripper/prostitute in Welcome to the Rileys is bound to scandalize. Those who prefer her only as Twilight’s lovestruck Bella may be shocked, while others who know her more nuanced work in films such as Adventureland will see a fearless new side of the actress confirmed. . . . Stewart deserves credit for taking the risk of playing this part. It’s a shockingly sexual performance…For an actress like Stewart, it would be easy to play it safe. Knock out a romantic comedy or a Nicholas Sparks weepie while the vampire cash keeps rolling in from Twilight sequels. Instead, Stewart is challenging herself, and moviegoers, too.”
P 06 – Ashley Ratcliff – Movie Media Magazine – “Stewart gives a remarkable performance in this drastic departure from her “Twilight” series role, while Gandolfini and Leo bring depth to their characters.”
N 07 – Avi Offer – NYC Movie Guru – “but, unfortunately, Kristen Stewart could use some acting lessons because she’s unable to convincingly and organically tackle a wide range of emotions as Mallory transforms innately.”
P 08 – Bags Hooper – Character Approved Blog – “Stewart is best known for her role as Bella Swan in the Twilight franchise. While this series is wildly popular, it doesn’t really showcase the range Stewart has an an actor. Her role as a runaway in Welcome to the Rileys tests her prowess, and it’s an overwhelming success. As Mallory, she expresses the pain and anguish of living a harsh life, while also giving voice to an orphan that subconsciously and desperately wants a family.” “Stewart and Gandolfini are Character Approved for their on-camera chemistry. This is easily the most powerful role Stewart has played on film and we’re looking out for more from this talented actor.”
P 09 – Ben Kendrick – Screen Rant – “‘Welcome to the Rileys’ is a competent indie drama that offers great performances…” “Surprisingly, Leo’s scenes with Stewart are especially intriguing.” “Any moviegoers who were expecting Twilight starlet Kristen Stewart to drag the entire project down with pouty melodrama, will only be half-right. There is plenty of hair flipping and lip biting, but the anxious and awkward character fits within Stewart’s repertoire – as well as the movie at hand. Sure, at times, Stewart seems over-eager, as if she knows that roles like Mallory are key to being taken seriously as an actress in her post-Twilight career. In general, she succeeds in holding the film together, though it’s hard to consider it a breakout role for her…”
P/N 10 – Beth McCabe – BigPictureBigSound.Com – “It’s Ms. Stewart that seems a little out of place, and probabaly out of her depth, with her seasoned costars. Her stacatto delivery is abrupt at times, and not always suited to the dialog, though she does bring an awkward vulnerability to her role that seems to (mostly) fit.”
P 11 – Betsy Sharkey – Los Angeles Times (TOP CRITIC) – “Stewart, who was cast in the film before the “Twilight” tsunami hit, continues to gravitate to characters that the world has roughed up, with Mallory a few shades darker than the actress’ well-crafted young Joan Jett in “The Runaways” earlier this year. She just gets better at bringing a naked vulnerability to her performances. Here it’s like watching a slide show of anger, pain, innocence, outrage and mischief play across her face.”
P 12 – Bill Goodykoontz – Arizona Republic (TOP CRITIC) – “Too often we’re taken out of the story and wind up watching the actors, not relating to them. Luckily for Scott, they’re so good that it makes Welcome to the Rileys a more-satisfying film than it probably should be.”
P 13 – Brian Orndorf - eFilmCritic.com – “…Stewart’s tic-riddled, far-fetched work here (she’s Runaway 101 with her smeared eyeliner and greasy hair) more palatable than expected.”
P 14 – Capone - Ain’t It Cool – “I have to admit, I didn’t think Stewart really had it in her to surprise me, but as the foul-mouthed Mallory, she reminds me that there was a time when she was a strong actor and not just an accidental cultural icon.”
N 15 – Cary Darling – Dallas Morning News (TOP CRITIC) – “Gandolfini and Leo play their parts with an exquisite sense of quiet pain. Never mind that the film should have been shorter or that Stewart, a long way from her days as the tortured Twilight teen, is a bit one-note. Welcome to the Rileys is a welcome surprise.”
P 16 – Chris Bumbray – JoBlo’s Movie Emporium – “…I like her, and I think that outside of TWILIGHT she’s a great actress,…” “… Leo has a few really nice scenes with Stewart, where they establish a type of mother and daughter bond that is nicely splayed by both of them.” “Of the three, Stewart probably has the most clichéd role, with her playing the young hooker with a heart of gold. Nevertheless, Stewart does a great job. Sundance has been very good to Stewart this year, with her showing up in two good films, and playing markedly different characters. She’s actually a very good young actress, and I hope that her success in TWILIGHT means she’ll continue to get quality films like this one made.”
P 17 – Christopher Lloyd – Sarasota Herald-Tribune – “I’m personally of the opinion that those “Twilight” movies have been a net burden to Stewart’s career. Watching her textured work here, in which she shows us Mallory’s carefully constructed walls of defensiveness, it’s hard to imagine this is the same actress moping around with vampires.”
P 18 – Clark Douglas – DVDVerdict.Com – “I would mention what a pleasant surprise it is to see how good Kristen Stewart is in a role that actually challenges her, but then I’ve already seen her in The Runaways. Instead, I’ll simply say that this is a film which further confirms how good she can be when the role requires her to be. She’s impressively raw in her earlier scenes as the unapologetically slutty, vulgar runaway stripper, but what really impress are her moments of conflicted emotion later in the film. Stewart excels during those moments in which Mallory struggles to choose between her buried desire for safety and her fiercely independent streak. She plays very well off of her fellow cast members, particularly Gandolfini.”
N 19 – Claudia Puig – USA Today (TOP CRITIC) – “Stewart’s idea of inhabiting this part seems to be to scowl a lot and let her hair go unwashed. The Twilight star doesn’t have the depth or emotional agility to go toe-to-toe with Gandolfini and Leo. She emerges as a wretched caricature”
P 20 – Cole Smithey – ColeSmithey.com – “as an actor’s showcase for Melissa Leo, James Gandolfini, and the ever watchable Kristen Stewart than it does as a complete work of cinematic dramaturgy.” “But it’s Kristen Stewart’s rebellious sensuality that fills the recesses of the melancholy narrative.”
P/N 21 – Connie Ogle – Miami Herald – (She don’t talk much about the actor, only talk about the characters because she thought the movie and the characters “too false to offer much hope…”. She laments it because the good actors.)
N 22 – Dan Kois – Village Voice (TOP CRITIC) – “But Jake Scott’s Welcome to the Rileys is so underwritten that, despite a more energetic performance, Stewart makes much less of an impression.” “… Try as Stewart might, she can’t turn this Manic Trixie Nightmare Girl into a real person.”

Breaking Dawn Update: BD Ramps Up Security in Vancouver and Renesmee News
Deadbolt.com Security will be tighter than ever when The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn returns to Vancouver after filming in Brazil and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Although Twilight fans had more open interaction with New Moon and Eclipse than they did with Twilight, it appears that Twilighters may not be so lucky with Breaking Dawn.
According to the tweets of MetroVanFilms, it sounds like security will be tighter on Breaking Dawn than the previous films of The Twilight Saga.The first tweet was a reminder that production on Breaking Dawn will soon begin in Vancouver in February and continue through April. The second tweet spoke of the security that Twilighters and paparazzi can expect for Breaking Dawn. “TSBD creates complex "Confinement Unit" to deal with fans and block/harass paparazzi.”
Although it sounds like the production is simply taking the usual security measures given the popularity of Twilight stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner, the use of "complex Confinement Unit" is certainly an interesting choice of words. What that really means is anyone's guess, but fans will definitely be confined to limited Twilight access in Vancouver.
And here are some Renesmee News Mackenzie Foy will be joined by 3 other child stars who would portray Edward and Bella's daughter. "Mackenzie Foy’s face will be digitally transferred onto these 3 little girls’s bodies to show Renesmee’s rapid growth." via NessieMackenzie

Holliday Grainger Talks about Rob and 'Bel Ami'
Spoilers Ahead.
Can you talk about the roles you did in Jane Eyre and Bel Ami, which you also have coming out this year?
GRAINGER: When I was younger, I always wanted to do period drama and never got to do it, until last January. And then, this last year was just period drama after period drama. I have a small part in Jane Eyre. I’m one of the Rivers sisters that saves Jane (Mia Wasikowska) from destitution. They’re a very lovely, very godly, very pure family. Bel Ami is the opposite. My character is more like Lucrezia. She’s an evil little witch that knows what she wants and is out to get the guy that she wants. She’s willing to upset her mom and upset anyone, just to get the guy that she wants.
Did you get to work with Robert Pattinson?
GRAINGER: Yeah, my character’s scenes are mainly with Rob ‘cause she marries him in the end. She does get him.

Sam Bradley Answers Some Questions About Rob in Latest Interview
Stefan Goldby of Buzzine: So your musical beginnings were friends and family-based, and then so were your first big steps out into wider acclaim—outside London, out into the world, with your schoolmate Robert (Pattinson)…
Sam Bradley: It’s still all friend-based. I don’t work with anyone that isn’t a friend. My band, my booking agent, my manager… Everyone I want to work with, I want to have a relationship that is stronger than just work. As far as the connection with Rob, he’s a friend—that’s it. There’s no special story. The special story is in our friendship. That’s it. There’s nothing grand about it. I got a song on this Twilight soundtrack—that opened up a bigger audience than I was ready for, perhaps, and then it was up to me to keep the music-lovers, and expand and grow on and through and past and with that.
SG: I can’t let you go and not go back to Rob for one final question, but I don’t want to get you into any trouble…
SB: You can’t get me into trouble. I can get me into trouble.
SG: Good point. But I’ll try not to lead you into any trouble.
SB: That’s fine, because I can deflect. I’ve been doing it for years.
SG: I bet you have. You’ve been mates for a long, long time. As surreal as life must be for him, which is up way up there, you have seen that from one step removed, and you have a sense of what that means as you’re an artist on the road connecting with people as well although maybe not quite to the “Beatles running down the street in ‘Help’” thing that he’s been going through. What does that leave you thinking? From what you’ve seen from him, what impact does that have on you? Does that end up being a blessing—you get to see how that can be from a pseudo-safe distance?
SB: If I thought about it and if I dissected it in any way, that wouldn’t be a healthy thing. It just is. There’s no difference in anything I do. There’s no difference in anything he does. There’s no difference in anything any friend I have, whether it be my wife… It just doesn’t make a difference. I’m gonna keep doing what I’m gonna do. Robert Pattinson is going to keep doing what he’s gonna do. Tom Sturridge is gonna keep doing what he’s gonna do. Bobby Long is gonna keep doing what he’s gonna do. Marcus Foster is gonna keep doing what’s he’s gonna do. Angus McNeice is gonna keep doing what he’s gonna do. Anyone I know are gonna do what they’re gonna do, and that’s not changed anything.

'On the Road' in Dark HorizonsCom's Notable Films of 2011
DarkHorizons.Com's Most Notable Films of 2011
On the Road
Opens: 2011
Cast: Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Stewart, Viggo Mortensen, Amy Adams
Director: Walter Salles
Summary: Sal Paradise, a writer holed up in a room at his aunt's house, gets inspired by Dean Moriarty to hit the road and see America. From the moment he gets on the seven train out of New York City, he begins a journey that explores the highs and lows of hitchhiking, bonding with fellow explorers and opting for beer before food.
Analysis: The term 'long gestating' film takes on a whole new meaning with this adaptation of what many consider the definitive novel of the Beat Generation. For over over five decades now there's been talk of a film adaptation of Jack Kerouac's autobiographical book about his time spent traveling America in the 1940's with his friend Neal Cassady. Kerouac wanted to play his literary counterpart Sal himself alongside Marlon Brando as the Cassady-inspired Dean back in the late 50's when the book first came out.
@vonch
More under the CUT
"The Godfather" director Francis Ford Coppola tried several times to get an adaptation going, one time with Brad Pitt and Ethan Hawke, but that fell through. Joel Schumacher tried a version with Billy Crudup and Colin Farrell, that didn't come together either. It wasn't until about six years ago that Coppola convinced Brazilian director Walter Salles ("The Motorcycle Diaries") to direct the film and production got underway at last. In preparation, Salles shot a documentary taking the same road trip as Sal Paradise and speaking to other Beat poets who knew Kerouac.
Armed with a $25 million budget and much of the same crew who shot "The Motorcycle Diaries", filming got underway in August in Montreal with the cast undergoing a month-long "beatnik boot camp" where they all learned about the Beat Generation. Shooting also took place in New Orleans, San Francisco, Calgary, Arizona, Mexico and Argentina.
The casting has raised some eyebrows with Sam Riley ("Control," "Brighton Rock") as Sal, Garrett Hedlund ("Tron: Legacy," "Troy") as Dean and Kristen Stewart ("Twilight") as Mary Lou. The supporting roles seem on slightly stronger footing with Viggo Mortensen and Tom Sturridge cast as the equivalents of William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg respectively. Steve Buscemi, Terrence Howard, Amy Adams, and Kirsten Dunst also have key roles.
All the key cast have had plenty of time to get ready, Hedlund for example says he prepared for the role for essentially three years. Shot throughout the last half of 2010, filming was done almost "guerrilla style" according to the actors with minimal crew members on hand to lend an almost documentary feel to the proceedings. Reviews of the script have been raves and Salles will certainly bring his A-game to the material. The only question now is will this stand up to the scrutiny that comes when any film is adapted from a beloved novel that's considered one of the defining works of a generation.
Rob and Kristen: Avid Bike Riders?
HollywoodNews Despite their busy schedule filming the latest in the Twilight series, rumored couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have enough free time to enjoy anew hobby together; biking.
The two have been spotted riding their bikes together around Louisiana when not filming their scenes. An Examiner source said, “I see Rob and Kristen riding around the parking lot almost daily. Recently I spotted Rob riding out of the main studio gates on his bike and the next thing I knew, he was in front of my car at a stop sign, and Kristen was behind me.”

'Water for Elephants' and 'Breaking Dawn' in Box Office Mojo and Fandango's 2011 Movie Review
Fandango's 2011 Movie Review Superheroes, sci-fi and sequels dominate the 2011 movie landscape. Plus we'll bid farewell to Harry Potter and see the beginning of the end for Twilight.
Water for Elephants
Release Date: 4/22/11

He and the star performer (Reese Witherspoon) fall in love, much to the dismay of her husband (Christoph Waltz), the cruel head animal trainer. Sara Gruen's adapted novel examines the hardships of being in the "most spectacular show on Earth."

Box Office Mojo's 2011 Movie Preview: Ten Miscellaneous Contenders
Water for Elephants (April 22): It's easy to dismiss Robert Pattinson as just part of the Twilight craze thanks to the poor box office performance of Remember Me last March. However, his next movie Water for Elephants is poised to be much more successful: it's helmed by blockbuster director Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend), has interesting co-stars Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz and is based on a reportedly popular book.
Box Office Mojo's 2011 Movie Preview: Sequels Now More Than Ever
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1
Like On Stranger Tides, Breaking Dawn (Part One) (Nov. 18) follows a trilogy, but one that ended on a high note: with $300.5 million, third entry Eclipse pulled off the rare feat of out-grossing the second entry New Moon. Breaking Dawn returns to the pre-Thanksgiving slot of the first Twilight and New Moon (and formerly Harry Potter), but will have the longest wait yet (17 months). Add in a reportedly mixed fan reaction to the novel and how being broken in two didn't help Deathly Hallows Part 1, and it wouldn't be surprising if interest ebbs for Breaking Dawn.
