Counting down the days until the release of "Eclipse" seems much easier than countdowns for the series' previous installments, "Twilight" and "New Moon." While a large part of that comes from the fact "Eclipse" is being released only seven short months after November's "New Moon" release (unlike the year gap between "Twilight" and its sequel), it also helps that the young stars of the franchise have branched out and have other, non-vampire films coming out over the next few months.
Leading lady (and newly minted BAFTA Orange Rising Star winner) Kristen Stewart has two films coming out: this weekend's limited release of "The Yellow Handkerchief" and next month's "The Runaways," and, of course, Robert Pattinson has March 12th's "Remember Me."
When Kristen was promoting her long-in-production new film "The Yellow Handkerchief," she dished that RPattz's first post-"Twilight" film is sure to make audiences happy.
"I've seen the movie, I'm going to just say I'm sure people will be like, 'Oh my God [I'm so jealous!]," she laughed. "He's really good in the movie."
She's made out with Rob and seen the film ahead of time — who wouldn't be jealous? Kristen did say she thought he was very well cast in the role. We're guessing maybe it's because he can relate a bit more to a troubled 20-something instead of a hundred year old vampire.
"Not everybody can play every part," she said. "He is really strong in the movie. Maybe people won't really expect that he's quite bold, which is great."
She added, "It's hard to talk about your friends about anybody that's close to you that you know. It's like, he's everything I know he is. I know he can do any film."
