Kristen Stewart is moving away from her “Twilight” image and reputation with each new project she does, and one you should probably keep an eye out for is “Clouds of Sils Maria,” in which she plays the personal assistant of an aging actress played by Juliette Binoche.

To promote the film, which will open in theaters in the US this fall but is already making the rounds on the festival circuit, Juliette and Kristen did a gorgeous photospread for Interview magazine, which will come accompanied by an interview.

So far, we have only an excerpt from it via E! News and it’s of Juliette telling Kristen that she did research her work before they met and she deliberately avoided watching “Twilight.” Good call on her, all those people who’ve seen and hated the vampire saga will say.

“Of course I googled you… Why? I needed to know whom I am supposed to meet and play with. I did watch some interviews of yours and instantly decided that I like you,” the French actress says.

“I also watched On The Road – and skipped Twilight. Although I have to admit that the first time I ever saw you was on my daughters walls. I remember walking into her room thinking: So what the hell is this about?” she continues.

There’s no denying that “Twilight” put Kristen on the map while also turning her into one of the richest actresses of her generation because she can now afford to command a hefty paycheck from any movie studio that comes asking for her.

At the same time, there’s no denying that those movies were bad for anyone who was not a fan of Stephenie Meyer’s original novels, for which reason they were also widely ridiculed at the time they came out.

Just like her co-star Robert Pattinson, Kristen is working hard to convince these “haters” and Hollywood in particular that she’s more than what they saw in “Twilight,” that she can carry a role no matter how challenging or risky.

From what we’ve seen from the trailers so far, the one in “Sils Maria” will be both because, apparently, the PA she plays will try to seduce the aging actress in order to get her to do her bidding.

One of these trailers is embedded below but *please note that discretion is recommended when viewing it because it contains language that might offend. In the gallery, you will also find two more photos from the beautiful spread, but you will have to wait some more for more excerpts from the interview.
