Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are back on the big screen this week, but separately, and sans fangs, werewolves and pledges of immortal love.
“Twilight” fans can see Pattinson in Friday’s “Remember Me,” and Stewart in “The Yellow Handkerchief,” which precedes her highly anticipated turn next month as iconic rocker Joan Jett in “The Runaways.”
“In mainstream thinking you would not know me from anything other than ‘Twilight,’ so these films are very different from them,” Stewart said in a telephone interview from Los Angeles.
Stewart finds “that a lot of characters, specifically female characters, are written in, like, an incredibly typical way. ‘Everygirl’ basically. You might as well just rename the character ‘Girl.’ So that’s obviously never something I am attracted to. And that’s why I like to be a part of stories that are worth telling.”
In “Handkerchief,” Stewart plays Martine, rejected by a boy she’s spent the night with, and who impulsively runs off with recently paroled Brett, (William Hurt) and Gordy (Eddie Redmayne), a speed-talking loner with a car.
The disparate trio are soon stranded by a hurricane. As they travel together, discoveries are made that change each of them.
When Stewart first read Martine, “I saw a girl that so easily could have been happy and open.”
Instead, in “a very, very typical situation, Martine’s insecurities make her look at other girls and say always that the grass is greener and people just always disappoint her. If you put yourself out there always to be sort of humiliated - which happens for her - then you will be disappointed.”
Martine is transformed during the course of the journey, which was a critical point for Stewart.
“To see somebody who has such distinct opinions of people because of how closed off she is, it’s nice to see her open up with somebody like Gordy that she would never look at.”
