Kristen Stewart will be appearing in the Sundance entry, Welcome to the Rileys, where Stewart will transition from Twilight human in love with a vampire to lap dancer/prostitute. Welcome to the Rileys also stars James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo as a husband and wife pair that have drifted apart after losing their daughter, with Gandolfini playing a traveling salesman who hooks up with KristenStewart.
Although Kristen Stewart is taking on a role completely opposite of her Bell Swan character from Twilight and New Moon, it's assumed many male Twilighters will see Welcome to the Rileys for the simple fact that Stewart reportedly has nude scenes in the film. Kristen Stewart recently revealed that Welcome to the Rileys is the heaviest role she's played to date, which deals with serious subject matter.
Digital Spy reported that Kristen Stewart was so nervous about the nude scenes that she insisted her Twilight co-star Nikki Reed accompany her to the set, revealing, "It was just the hardest subject matter I’ve ever had to deal with - I play a very broken young girl who is a runaway. She’s a street kid. She’s working in a strip club and James Gandolfini’s character is just as dead inside as she is - and they wake each other up."
All of you Kristen Stewart fans can check out Welcome to the Rileys at this year's Sundance Film festival, which is goes down from January 21-31 2010.
