‘Welcome to the Riley’s’ Clip featuring Kristen Stewart

Yesterday we showed you a clip of ‘The Runaways’, the highly anticipated movie at the Sundance Film Festival, starring Kristen and Dakota. This new clip comes from ‘Welcome to the Riley’s', also a a very anticipated movie at Sundance.

Speaking of both movies, USA Today has listed both of them as part of their list of the 10 films that will brea-out at Sundance. Here are the synopsis of both films, in case you didn’t know them:

The Runaways

Twilight’s Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning play 1970s rocker girls Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, who became punk sensations before they could legally drive. “They were so young,” Stewart says. “They were 15, all of the girls, and they were hanging out in Hollywood at all the famous clubs that are infamous now.” But Stewart says the film is also about the risks of growing up too fast. “It put (Jett) in a place where she could go further,” Stewart says. “But she thought the band could have been bigger and was disappointed about how it turned out. It’s something really close to her. She was so young.”

Welcome to the Rileys

Kristen Stewart’s other starring role at the festival. James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo (Oscar nominee for Frozen River) play a grieving couple, pushed apart by the death of their daughter. During a business trip to New Orleans, Gandolfini encounters Stewart while searching for some easy passion. “He meets this girl, this runaway, street kid, stripper who is prostituting herself and squatting in an abandoned, devastated Katrina house,” Stewart says. Gandolfini tries to become her protector, saving someone else’s daughter, if not his own. But the girl doesn’t want a savior. “She tells him, ‘You can’t just come in and fix everything.’ “
