Actress Maisie Williams mentions Kristen in an interview with THR



Lately, when actors such as yourself come off of big projects, there’s a tendency to go the indie route for a while. Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are obvious examples of this. Since you shot The New Mutants during Thrones, I’m not counting that as a post-Thrones project, but is The Owners an indication that you’ll be going indie for a little while? Or is there no grand plan at the moment?

Williams: No, I would say absolutely [about going the indie route]. I mean, the industry is very different to what it was when Twilight ended in that television has skyrocketed recently and not as many indie films are being made. The people who have these really wonderful indie stories have now started stretching them out and making them into TV shows because it’s more likely to get made. There are still indie filmmakers, and I have been meeting with a lot of them. But if there are enough indie movies who want to cast me, then yes, you can say that I will be doing indies for a long time. (Laughs.) But I know that the industry is different now, and so I have to be weary of that, also. But, yeah, I look up to Robert Pattinson, and I look up to Kristen Stewart. I love what they did. I mean, I love what Kristen Stewart did before Twilight, but I really have watched so many of her movies since. I’ve really just been trying to understand what she did so well, the decisions she made and how that really affected the longevity of her career. So, yeah, I definitely do look up to the both of them, and yeah, I will be taking notes and following in their footsteps. (Laughs.)

Kristen Stewart and Mackenzie Davis are about to make the holidays a lot funnier.

The Charlie's Angels and Twilight star, 30, and the Terminator: Dark Fate actress, 33, are starring in Happiest Season, a theatrical Christmas rom-com release that features a lesbian love story.

The movie, coming to theaters Nov. 25, was co-written and directed by Veep actress Clea DuVall, who says these types of holiday stories are long overdue.

"I'm a huge fan of Christmas movies, but I had never seen my story represented," says DuVall, 43, who starred as secret service agent Marjorie on Veep. "Happiest Season felt like a great opportunity to tell a universal story from a new perspective."

Stewart agrees. "I think I've wished to see a gay Christmas rom com my whole life," she tells PEOPLE. "I'm so happy and proud of Clea for bringing this into the world."

Stewart adds that the stress of being around family is something that everyone going home for the holidays can relate to, regardless of their sexuality. "I love when holiday movie makes you long for an idea of home, but also examines how hilarious and hard reality at home can be sometimes," she says.

Happiest Season follows the story of Abby (Stewart) who plans to propose to her girlfriend Harper while attending Harper's family holiday party, only to discover her girlfriend hasn't actually come out to her conservative parents yet.

The movie also stars Mary Steenburgen, Victor Garber, Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza, Dan Levy—and the film's co-writer (and DuVall's fellow Veep costar) Mary Holland.

DuVall and Stewart both say the movie was incredibly fun to film. "Maybe I'm biased, but this was one of the most fun sets I have ever been on," DuVall says. "From the cast to the crew, everyone showed up each day with an excitement and energy that made every day a joy."

Stewart adds, "We couldn’t have had a better more loving pack of weirdos supporting each other on this one. Had an absolute blast.”
