The most popular of the nonvampire fare was the 2009 comedy “Adventureland,” which at its height played in around 1,800 theaters nationwide and ended up collecting $16 million — nowhere near the kind of money a “Twilight” film rakes in. Her subsequent turns as Joan Jett in “The Runaways” and a stripper in “Welcome to the Rileys” were even less widely seen; the latter film grossed only $158,898.
Which all makes her latest role as the princess in “Snow White and the Huntsman” that much more significant. The big-budget spin on the classic fairy tale, out Friday, will mark the first time that most American moviegoers will get to weigh in on whether or not they buy Stewart as anyone but Bella.
Still, the actress says taking on “Snow White” wasn’t a calculated move to change her on-screen image.
“People are going to think that it’s me trying to either distance myself from ‘Twilight’ or try to prove myself beyond it or whatever,” the 22-year-old said Tuesday evening at a screening of the $175-million production. “But it’s [just] good timing. I think it’s all fallen off the truck in a really lucky way. But it’s totally not my doing.”
Asked if she felt “Snow White” marked a new phase in her career, Stewart said it didn’t.
” ‘Twilight’ means so much to me, but it doesn’t stand out in terms of — ” she paused, looking for the right words. “Everything I do needs to be really important. ['Snow White'] is neither better or worse than anything I’ve done.”
BuzzFoto’s Brad Elterman has collaborated with legendary Swiss pop artist Marco Pittori on Nude Hollywood set to open in Basel on June 7.
Swiss pop artist Marco Pittori had not been born in 1977, the year that teenage photographer, Brad Elterman took a series of photographs of a topless girl dancing at a Beverly Hills mansion situated directly behind the Beverly Hills Hotel. Three decades later, the internet brought the Swiss pop artist and the now 55 year old Los Angeles photographer together for a collaboration entitled “Nude Hollywood” set to debut a week before Art Basel at Galerie Eulenspiegel.
The exhibition features 16 silkscreen works from Elterman’s original raw 70’s and modern photographs reworked by Pittori into limited edition prints. “Our exhibition is unique during a period when many photographers works is simply “appropriated”. Marco and I become friends over the internet, met several times in Europe and in Los Angeles and decided to make this exhibition happened. It has been several years in the works and I am so honored to be working with such a talented young artist.”.
“Brad photographs are a time capsule of the 70’s and they fascinate me” says Pittori a resident of Basel. “I loved the freedom of the era and how those images tell a story of a wild time full of true icons and a party that escaped my generation”.
Both Pittori and Elterman will attend the June 7 Basel opening. The public is welcome.
