Jenelle Riley Deputy Awards and Features Editor Actors often talk about how freeing it is to play characters that live in the moment — a sentiment that “Poor Things” screenwriter Tony McNamara understands. In writing the character of Bella Baxter (Emma Stone), a woman who has an infant’s brain implanted in her body, McNamara says he was working with a blank slate. “The fingerprints of childhood and society weren’t on her as a character,” McNamara tells Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast.

Kristen Stewart voicing her thoughts on queer movies, and more!

Ellise Shafer At the Berlin Film Festival press conference for her new film “Love Lies Bleeding,” Kristen Stewart said she thinks the era of queer films “being so pointedly only that is done,” adding that it’s time for films to focus on “sidelined perspectives” while “not making it all about the reasons that they’re sidelined.” “Love Lies Bleeding” stars Stewart as reclusive gym manager Lou, who “falls hard for Jackie (Katy O’Brian), an ambitious bodybuilder headed through town to Las Vegas in pursuit of her dream,” the film’s synopsis reads. “But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family.” When asked if filming the gory and twist-filled “Love Lies Bleeding” had changed her perspective on how queer stories are centered in cinema, Stewart sounded off on the topic.

Alex Ritman It was over an awkward meeting in a fancy London hotel room in late 2021 that Rose Glass first pitched Kristen Stewart her then rough idea for “Love Lies Bleeding,” a wild romantic thriller set amid the bodybuilding scene in 80s New Mexico. The director, whose debut feature “Saint Maud” released the previous year, admits to finding herself “unexpectedly star struck” on being introduced to the actress, in town for the U.K. premiere of “Spencer,” and says she “waffled on at her for ages, probably not making much sense.” Glass also recalls making a terrible joke about the pheasants in “Spencer” that landed with a thud.
