The good folks at Samuel Goldwyn Films have sent over the first poster for Welcome to the Rileys, director Jake Scott�s feature debut sophomore effort starring James Gandolfini, Melissa Leo and, in a racy, much-buzzed-about role, Kristen Stewart. Forget Bella � meet Mallory.
Rileys features Gandolfini and Leo as a married couple ravaged by the death of their teenaged daughter. Worn down by her agoraphobia, he splits to New Orleans, where his platonic encounter with a young runaway and prostitute (Stewart) prompts each to finally pursue their respective shots at recovery and redemption. Back at the film�s Sundance premiere, Movieline singled out Stewart�s performance in particular as one to watch: �[A]s the foul-mouthed, filthy-minded teen with the gnarly complexion at the center of the story,� Seth Abramovitch wrote, �she gives another effective, rough-edged performance � while going a long way towards coloring in some of those libidinous lines left void by the ever-chaste Bella [Swan].�
Stewart is central to the film�s poster as well � literally. Have a look, and check Welcome to the Rileys out when it opens Oct. 29.
