Jesse Eisenberg mentions working with Kristen

Excerpt from the interview:

The actor has played an eco-warrior in Night Moves, a sleight-of-hand expert in Now You See Me, a zombie-killer in Zombieland, and – most famously – Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network (for which he was nominated for an Oscar). He has co-starred with Kristen Stewart three times (in Café Society, American Ultra and Adventureland), been in two Woody Allen films, and starred in one movie directed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst.

He would love to collaborate with Kristen Stewart again. “We’re talking about this movie we did – Adventureland,” he says. “We all had friends working on it, and [director] Greg Mottola, he’s just brilliant and he holds that movie in a special place ...  So we’ve been talking about maybe making it into a series on Amazon…”

Bad Reputation: Spotlight on Kristen Stewart

Already a show business veteran before the age of 30, Kristen Stewart has emerged as one of the most fascinating, risk-taking actresses of her generation. In a career that continues to surprise, she’s been a child star, anchored a blockbuster franchise, and, most recently, dedicated herself to a host of adventurous, auteur-driven projects (this year alone sees her starring in films by Olivier Assayas, Kelly Reichardt, and Woody Allen). Her combination of quiet intensity, innate intelligence, and fierce commitment to craft makes for a uniquely compelling screen presence.

1. Panic Room

Directed by David Fincher | 2002 With Jodie Foster, Forest Whitaker, Dwight Yoakam, Jared Leto.

“Panic Room is scary enough to do for downtown living what Jaws did for beaches.” —A.V. Club

Stewart’s breakthrough role was opposite Jodie Foster in David Fincher’s typically stylish, cat-and-mouse thriller. They’re a mother and daughter who move into a New York brownstone with one unusual feature: a steel-doored panic room that comes in handy when they’re targeted in a terrifying home invasion. The relentlessly roving camerawork and sleek, noir look heighten the sense of claustrophobic dread.

Screening: 23 and 26 September.

Get tickets here.

2. Twilight

Directed by Catherine Hardwicke | 2008 With Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Billy Burke, Peter Facinelli

“The calling card isn’t blood and fangs, but the exquisite, shimmering quiver of unconsummated first love. By that measure, the movie gives really good swoon.” —The Village Voice

The first installment in the franchise that made the actress a household name stars Stewart as Bella Swan, the new girl in school who is drawn into a will-they-won’t-they romance with a seductive vampire (Pattinson). Suffused with a gothic moodiness and swooning romanticism, Twilight is a true rarity: a character-driven blockbuster with a focus on female desire.

Screening: 23 and 27 September.

Get tickets here.

3. Adventureland

Directed by Greg Mottola | 2009 With Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Ryan Reynolds, Martin Starr

“Here, Kristen Stewart is an actress ready to do important things.” —Roger Ebert

This heartfelt coming-of-age comedy perfectly captures the wilderness years of young adulthood: the crappy jobs, first loves, and life-changing summers. It’s 1987, and recent college grad James (Eisenberg) sees his dreams of traveling abroad for the summer crumble when he’s forced to take a job at a dilapidated amusement park. One consolation: his smart, cool coworker Em, who’s lent real emotional depth by Stewart.

Screening: 24 and 25 September.

Get tickets here.

4. The Runaways

Directed by Floria Sigismondi | 2010 With Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart, Michael Shannon

“Stewart, watchful and unassuming, gives the movie its spine and soul.” —A. O. Scott, The New York Times

Stewart brings a fierce, punkish intensity to the role of rock icon Joan Jett in this down and dirty showbiz saga about the rise and fall of proto-riot grrrl group The Runaways. Director Floria Sigismondi convincingly recreates the glammy, sex- and drug-fuelled energy of the 1970s rock scene, while Michael Shannon is a blast as the band’s sleazy Svengali.

Screening: 24 and 27 September.

Get tickets here

5. Clouds of Sils Maria

Directed by Olivier Assayas | 2014 With Juliette Binoche, Kristen Stewart, Chloë Grace Moretz

“The movie's true center, the meteorological phenomenon that makes it so pleasurable to watch, is the half-prickly, half-affectionate interplay between Binoche and Stewart.” —The Village Voice

Stewart became the first American actress to win a César Award for her performance in this gripping backstage drama. She plays the personal—perhaps too personal—assistant to a famous actress (Binoche) undergoing a crisis as she comes to terms with the fact that she has aged out of the ingénue roles that made her a star. The scintillating interplay between Binoche and Stewart keeps the psychosexual tension simmering.

Screening: 25 September.

Jesse Eisenberg talks 'American Ultra' and Kristen during a Q&A with 'The Guardian' (July 29)

Just wanted to know what it was like for him working with Kristen Stewart for the 2nd time in American Ultra?

Kristen and I have similar style of working and a similar sensibility I think. She's obviously a wonderful actress and is also very funny in both films we did, which are comedic in tone but unusually so.

Can you tell us a little bit more about American Ultra? 

We just finished filming this movie so it is a bit early to digest, but it was a wonderful experience playing this role, which is a guy who has no direction in life who discovers he was brainwashed to be a fighter in a government program based on the MK-Ultra program in the States. It turns from a very personal and intimate story of my character and his girlfriend, played by Kristen Stewart, into a stylized and kinetic movie about this guy being hunted.

Jesse Eisenberg talks about "American Ultra" & Kristen *Spoilers*

** Please note that there are American Ultra spoilers **

Josh Horowitz (MTV) and Jesse talk about "American Ultra" at 33:00 and about Kristen at 35:24.

Listen to the podcast HERE.

Transcript:

Josh mentions how Jesse is currently filming "American Ultra" and re-teaming with Kristen. He asks Jesse to give Kristen his regards, she's awesome.

Jesse: "She's great. She's great. She's a really great actress. Yeah, shes just wonderful. She is a good example of somebody who really immerses themselves. When we were doing Adventureland, she was 17 years old and she would literally stop takes in the middle of a take if she felt like she wasn't being honest. She would say "cut,cut,cut, I'm lying".

Josh: "Oh totally, she has no BS filter"

Jesse: "Exactly, how'd you know that?"

Josh: "Well, Ive just talked to her a ton of times over the years, thanks to twilight"

Jesse: "you can tell"

Josh: "Yeah, shes very real'

Jesse: "Yeah, its really wonderful, it may look sometimes as though like, she is, because shes been in those movies, for example, which i don't know, and this movie which is kind of bigger than adventureland. Its an interesting acting style for these kinds of movies because, these kinds of movies occasionally require- its not something I can do well, but it occasionally requires being big, so to speak, and she does that I guess, but shes so realistic.

Author & journalist Anthony Breznican talks about Kristen

As a journalist, you’ve interviewed a lot of creative people. Is there anything an interview subject has said to you about the creative process that stuck with you while you were writing?

Strangely enough, I had a cool interview with Kristen Stewart a few years ago when she was in a movie called Adventureland. It’s one of my favorite coming-of-age films, set at an amusement park in the late 1980s, and Brutal Youth begins in 1991. She would have been a baby then, but we talked a lot about the differences between growing up these days, and the kind of self-surveillance that goes on, with every aspect of your life monitored or shared, and growing up back then, which is the last time kids could truly lead secret lives. We didn’t talk about my book, but that conversation made me realize I was writing about a bygone era. There’s something magical about that, like an animal that has gone extinct and now seems mythological.

Anthony Breznican's book 'Brutal Youth' comes out on June 10.

Ryan Reynolds, co-star of 'Adventureland' gave Kristen career advice on Twilight "Don't walk, run the other way..."

He talks good humouredly about giving Kristen Stewart career advice on Adventureland: "I remember her telling me that she was going to audition for Twilight. I just said ' Vampires… that'll flop. Don't walk - run the other way Kristen!'"

Kristen at no. 11 in Total Film's "The 30 Hottest Rising Actors Right Now"

No. 11 Kristen Stewart

Who? Stewart’s name will always be synonymous with Twilight, 2008’s surprise monster hit, which spawned four sequels.

Why So Hot? Stewart achieved years of critical acclaim in indie films like Speak and Into The Wild, but Twlight pushed her into the big time. She's since stuck to her roots with smaller productions – taking a role opposite Jesse Eisenberg in Adventureland, with fellow Twilight alumni Dakota Fanning in The Runaways, and then as MaryLou in the controversial novel adaptation On The Road.

Having paid her dues, she's now heading back into studio fare, taking the lead in Universal’s Snow White And The Huntsman, due out next June.

What’s Next? The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, the penultimate film in the series, is due out this November.
