The time has come! Many news outlets, including The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, and the Playlist have announced that Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and British newcomer Ella Balinska are set to star in the new Charlie's Angels reboot, with Elizabeth Banks directing. 

We've already heard rumors and ups-and-downs with the casting. Earlier this month, some outlets presented the idea of Lupita Nyong'o first being cast. However, it looks like Elle has taken her place in the official announcement. It's a bit disappointing that Lupita won't be starring with the other fabulous ladies, but there will be other chances. 

As for Kristen, it's been a minute since we've seen her in a big-budget action film since Snow White and the Hunstman in 2012, and even later with the sleeper comedy American Ultra in 2015. So it's awesome that this is the next step into her career as an actor.

MENTIONS: AMERICAN ULTRA Director Nima Nourizadeh Talks Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg

Kristen Stewart's American Ultra director Nima Nourizadeh talked about her and Jesse Eisenberg's performances in the film:

Q: Watching Jesse Eisenberg do all of those crazy action and fighting scenes was extraordinary. Were these scenes a big change for Jesse?

Nima: Jesse isn’t the typical action hero which made this role played by him even more exciting. It was wonderful to see Jesse adapting to his role that fast and make it his own. He was very open about everything, even the fighting choreography. For me it was important to show the strength of Jesse’s character in a realistic way which looked authentic. Jesse did a really good job and same can be said about Kristen. Both of them were devoted to the project and worked hard.

Q: Were Kristen and Jesse your first choice for the roles of Phoebe and Mike?

Nima: Yes. The first time Max and l met up to talk about 'American Ultra' we talked about Jesse being the perfect actor to play the part of Mike. He immediately accepted the part so we began to think about the perfect actress to play Phoebe. In the beginning there was a lot going back and forth until Jesse suggested Kristen. I had already talked with Kristen about another project and thought she was the perfect actress for the lead part. Just like Jesse, Kristen was on board immediately. Jesse and Kristen got along very well and so shooting was wonderful.

Interview for the release of the DVD/Blu-ray in Germany, on February 25. :)

NEW Kristen Stewart Interview with News.com: "Things are going to turn out really awesome"

Kristen Stewart did an interview with News.com for American Ultra:

Kristen Stewart says that if had her time over, there’s not a thing she would do differently.

"No, I would say keep going girl. Things are going to turn out really f**king awesome," says the 25-year-old Stewart formerly known as The Twilight Saga’s Bella Swan.

"It’s been hard, but obviously every step I have taken has led me to this particular spot."

"And I wouldn’t change it. Not personally. Not professionally. Nothing."

Stewart is hardly suggesting that she hasn’t made her fair share of mistakes. Or even that she doesn’t have regrets.

But less than three years after the final Twilight film opened in cinemas across the globe, there’s already a sense that many of her more bruising encounters with celebrity are being viewed through her rear view mirror.

Admittedly, Stewart is enjoying a particularly sweet spot in her professional career.

"I think I accidentally got very lucky and worked enough in a condensed period. Who knows, it could fall apart yesterday. Maybe it did," she says.

"But when people do things because they are genuinely drawn to them, when there is just a compulsion to do stuff, you can’t deny them."

"Even if my movies weren’t successful, I would do the things that made me happy and I would find the people who were happy doing it with me."

"Right now, it’s on a huge, huge, crazy scale. But if it wasn’t, that would be fine."

The actor has made nine films since Breaking Dawn Part 2, including Ang Lee’s Iraqi war drama Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, with Vin Diesel and Garett Hedlund, and Kelly Reichart’s yet-to-be titled new project, with Michelle Williams and Laura Dern.

She is currently shooting the new Woody Allen film in California with Blake Lively, Steve Carell and her American Ultra co-star Jesse Eisenberg (with whom she also appeared in Adventureland.)

Earlier this year, her strong, supporting performance in Still Alice survived even Julianne Moore’s Oscar-winning star turn.

And in February, Stewart became the first American actor ever to be awarded a prestigious French Cesar award for Clouds Of Sils Maria, in which she starred opposite French actor Juliette Binoche.

Stewart more than held her own in the somewhat ironic role of publicist and personal assistant to Binoche’s ageing diva — Chloe Grace Moretz plays the celebrity-hounded star-on-the-rise who has embarked upon an ill-judged affair with her married director.

"It felt great but also shocking because (the French) are as harsh as hell, they are bastards," Stewart says.

"I can only say that because they are some of my best friends but obviously it’s like a tough crowd. I was so nervous but Juliet said: ‘don’t worry, you will never win, they will never, ever give it to you’."

"I really took her word for it. So when I did win, she screamed in my ear."

In what appears to be a mutual admiration society, Clouds Of Sils Maria director Olivier Assayas has already signed Stewart up for his follow-up project, a horror/fantasy film called Personal Shopper.

"I have just had such a warm experience creatively with everything I have done (in France)," she says.

“"They have a different way of consuming art that I really do admire. It’s not about entertainment, but really and truly about the history and the mark you are making and what you are saying. It’s f**king important. I take myself very seriously and I feel pretty much at home there artistically."

Stewart still features regularly in gossip columns. But smart career choices and a solid work ethic are beginning to change popular perception of the actor — nowadays there are almost as many column centimetres devoted to her projects as there are to her personal life.

"It is gratifying, especially considering I haven’t really changed my game," she says.

The last time News Corp Australia interviewed the actor, at the height of her Twilight fame, she was curled up, rather defensively, on a chair at Sydney’s Park Hyatt.

It was the same publicity tour during which the actor famously flipped the bird at a pesky paparazzo.

At the time, she came across as a smart, somewhat angsty young woman, complex, serious and uncomfortable in her own skin.

A few years on, Stewart is far more poised, almost charming. Interviews still don’t come easily, but she is no longer afraid of them. And she at least gives a good impression of being in control.

This new-found confidence might explain her foray into comedy — albeit a very black variety — in American Ultra, about a small-town stoner who is completely oblivious to the fact that he is actually a lethal, CIA trained killing machine until his former trainer activates him.

Stewart plays his girlfriend.

"I basically play the straight man to Jesse’s neurotic, overly-analytical character," she says.

"It was fun keeping up with him. I didn’t put too much pressure on myself to be funny."

Stewart pauses. You can almost hear the cogs grinding insider her brain as she makes a conscious decision to open up a little bit more.

"Right now, I think I am sort of hiding behind the straight man thing," she admits.

"The first thing I did, when I heard the director was finished, was call him up and say: Am I funny? Am I funny? Please tell me! Did it work?"

"Generally speaking what I can say is that it is a good movie. We held it together. It is very real. But I think I definitely have my moments."

Stewart says she would love to have a shot at a more traditional comedic role.

"Absolutely. I definitely want to challenge myself further."

Further guaranteed to test her creative limits is Stewart’s often-expressed desire to direct.

"It’s my obsession. It’s one of the only things I think about. It drives me absolutely up the wall crazy. But I won’t do it until I am ready. I have worked with such incredible people, I don’t want to fall short."

"But at the same time I don’t want to be afraid of messing up. At some point I just have to throw things against the wall and see what sticks."

MENTIONS: Connie Britton Says Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg's Celebrity Growth is "Remarkable" and "Extraordinary"

Connie Britton spoke very highly about her American Ultra co-stars Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg's celebrity growth with Time.com:

_____________________

Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg, your costars in this movie, have been in the public eye from a very young age. You, by contrast, went to college and had a whole life before fame. What contrast do you see between your experience and theirs?

In everything I’ve ever worked on, inevitably, I’ve ended up working with younger actors who are getting into their careers at a very young age. Jesse and Kristen are remarkable because not only did they get into their careers at a very young age but they also reached enormous success at a very young age—and very well-deserved success at a very young age. They’re extraordinary to me; I kind of gawk at them because their talent is so well-honed, and to have that level of talent at such a young age and to be able to access it and parlay that into a career is something I will never be able to understand because that was not my experience. My experience has been a different one, and may be interesting to some, because some people always ask me, “You reached more success as you got older, and usually they say you can’t do that as a woman, blah blah blah”—to me, it’s really interesting to see young people be able to be so self-possessed in the ways they are.

MENTIONS: Jillian Dempsey Talks Kristen Stewart's Cat-Eye Makeup from the AMERICAN ULTRA Premiere

 

Jillian Dempsey talked with Byrdie about how she styled Kristen Stewart's bold, striking cat-eye makeup for the American Ultra premiere, inspired by "vintage eyeliner queen Edie Sedgewick":

__________________

Leave it to the perennially cool K.Stew to take the classic cat eye and make it totally punk rock. The actress took a “go big or go home” approach to her liner at the American Ultra premiere this week, showing off a bold, graphic eye that has us rethinking our go-to winged look.

Makeup artist Jillian Dempsey says she was inspired by vintage eyeliner queen Edie Sedgewick, as well as Stewart’s tousled hairstyle, created by Adir Abergel—not to mention her sparkling, Zuhair Murad playsuit. And while our typical cat eye usually just involves a precise flicka da wrist, this required some coloring outside the lines. “I literally popped her in front of the mirror, standing up, and felt like a kid drawing a big line with a crayon,” Dempsey tells us, noting that she used her own Jillian Dempsey Khol Eyeliner in Jet Black ($20). “It was a bit effortless yet dramatic.” So, exactly what we need for a night out—plus it’s party-proof, since a little bit of smudging is totally allowed.

AMERICAN ULTRA: Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg Talk to Variety + New Quotes

Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg led a bevy of stars at the red carpet world premiere of “American Ultra” at the Theatre at Ace Hotel in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday, including Topher Grace, Connie Britton, Tony Hale and John Leguizamo.

Hale described writer Max Landis‘ film, directed by Nima Nourizadeh, as something utterly unique in the summer blockbuster lineup. “It’s kind of a stoned ‘Bourne Identity,'” said Hale.

“(Eisenberg) is not like a Jean-Claude Van Damme or like a Matt Damon; he’s just this quirky kid that can all of a sudden kill somebody with a spoon.”

Landis told Variety on the red carpet that while writing the film, he wanted to shed the rules of the genre and present the audience with a quality experience.

“People going in here expecting the same old stuff are going to be very surprised and horrified by it,” he said. “It’s so important that people come out and support this… because it’s an indie made in a big way with a really big idea and that just doesn’t happen much anymore.”

Stewart was initially attracted to the script and said that she felt comfortable teaming up with her “Adventureland” co-star again.

“It was such a mishmash of genres and such, and such a strange tone I knew that I needed someone really intelligent to sort of lead the way and keep them together and cohesive,” said Stewart. “I had worked with him before and I knew that we could do something funny and sweet and kinda scary.”

Stewart and Eisenberg recently made headlines when they took on gender stereotypes in an awkward interview produced by “Funny or Die.” Eisenberg said that his sister, Hallie, gave him the idea to switch question cards during the interview where Stewart asked him if he was pregnant.

“She had just graduated from college so she was highly alerted to gender issues,” he said. “It was not only funny for us to do, but it had the added benefit of preempting bad questions before we started the press.”

The after-party was held next door at the Upstairs Bar atop the Ace Hotel. “Teen Wolf” actress Holland Roden and Taylor Lautner, who came to support his “Twilight” co-star Stewart, were among the attendees mingling around the pool and bar areas overlooking downtown. Drinks were served with comfort food that could have satisfied the munchies: mini-pizzas, quesadillas, cheeseburger sliders, ice-cream sandwiches and M&M-covered brownies.

Lionsgate releases “American Ultra” on Aug. 21.

AMERICAN ULTRA: Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg Interview with Miami Herald

Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg did an interview with Miami Herald to talk about their new film American Ultra: 

"American Ultra" is one of the funniest, most action-packed movies of the summer, and much of its humor comes from the unlikely casting of Jesse Eisenberg as a stoner who morphs into a government agent killing machine.

Eisenberg just laughs at the notion that he might ever play such a role. "Oh yeah, when my mother gave birth to an undersized premature baby with an androgynous name, I'm sure she thought I'd grow up to be a big action movie star," he says during a recent telephone interview that also featured co-star Kristen Stewart.

But Eisenberg and Stewart say they saw something special in the script by Max Landis, the son of John Landis, who directed such classics as "Animal House," "The Blues Brothers" and the Michael Jackson video "Thriller." And they were eager to work with director Nima Mourizadeh, whose best-known previous film was 2012's surprise hit "Project X."

"The script was really great, and the characters were so consistent in how they responded to the absurd situations they faced," Eisenberg says.
Stewart adds: "We thought the script really worked, but whether we could pull it off was another thing. But Jesse is hyperintelligent, and I was confident about this guy," who was her co-star in yet another film, 2009's coming-of-age tale "Adventureland."

The movie, which opens nationwide Friday, starts out as a typical independent film-style love story, with Mike Howell (Eisenberg) getting stoned and working a nowhere job at a West Virginia Cash & Carry while his more responsible girlfriend, Phoebe (Stewart), works at a bail bond shop.

They smoke dope in the morning. They smoke dope at night. And Mike thinks everything is hunky-dory, even if he is prone to panic attacks. So he buys Phoebe an engagement ring and plans to pop the question, if he can ever find the right moment.
One night at the Cash & Carry, Mike has a mysterious visitor named Lasseter (Connie Britton), who tries to give Mike a coded message that he interprets as a bunch of gobbledygook. Later, while eating some ramen noodles, he spots two black-clad men messing with his dilapidated Ford and asks what they're doing to his car.
They attack. And Mike kills both of them with his soup spoon. He's rather stunned and doesn't know what to do. So he calls up Phoebe. "I just killed two people," he says. To which Phoebe responds, rather flippantly, "That's awesome." Then Mike explains: "They had guns and knives, and they were being total d---!"

That kind of stoner humor continues throughout "American Ultra," as Mike gradually finds out that he was once trained as a special government agent but was decommissioned without any memory of the past. Lasseter was in charge of the program, and she's just learned that Mike has been targeted for elimination, so the gobbledygook she muttered at the Cash & Carry was actually a code that reactivated his skills as a trained killer. Mike, of course, has no idea where his newfound skills are coming from, and he's baffled.

It's an unlikely role for Eisenberg, who's known for playing intelligent, somewhat hapless guys in Woody Allen movies. And he just laughs at his transition to action in "American Ultra."
Stewart notes that Eisenberg always "looked like he was going to have a heart attack when he did some of the big action scenes." To which Eisenberg responds: "I got my cholesterol checked every morning. It was so much more exhausting and demanding than you'd think."

In fact, being baffled by what's going on is part of the movie's charm, especially for audiences, who gradually learn the backstory as it's revealed to Mike after numerous scenes of mass destruction.

"We threw ourselves into it, and it all genuinely felt real," Stewart says. "It was cool to do that, even though we're both incredibly nervous and anxiety-ridden people." "Yeah, it was incredible," Eisenberg adds. "They actually blew up a car next to us, and it was very real and very terrifying."

In essence, the movie is a big mashup of 1980s and 1990s genre films, with inspiration from "The Terminator" and "Reality Bites." "Landis grew up in the world of movies, so he's referencing other movies - and referencing them in a way that makes them great," Eisenberg says. "There's a modern sense of irony and self-awareness."
Eisenberg also thinks a lot of the humor comes from the supporting actors, including John Leguizamo as one of Mike's stoner friends and Topher Grace as an obsessed CIA agent who pulls out all the stops to have Mike killed. "Topher plays this constant bad guy, but nothing is working out for him," Eisenberg laughs. "He wants to be this big Machiavellian guy, but people aren't listening to him. We're not the typical heroes, and he's not the typical bad guy."

Neither Eisenberg nor Stewart knows whether a sequel will be written. A lot probably depends on how the movie fares at the box office. But it's looking like a hit at this point.

Eisenberg says he'd consider coming back for a sequel "if it's as good as the first one." But Stewart hedges her bets, noting that the charm of the movie comes from the slow and funny realization that Eisenberg's character is a trained killer: "Once the bubble is burst, how do you do that again?"
