Kristen Stewart, who plays stripping 16-year-old prostitute Mallory in “Welcome To The Rileys”, said that she injured herself while doing some of the moves for the movie.

Of her on-set injuries, Kristen said, “I did some pole dancing. I got bruises all over my legs. I tore myself up doing it. It sucked. The more I saw it, the more I wanted it. It was like a weird self-hating kind of thing.”

Director Jake Scott closed the set when she went in to film her stripping scenes. Of that, he said, “She was terrified. The strip club we shot in was really a club, and it really was that dirty and really that tough. But she killed it.”

Kristen took lessons from a real stripper, too. Scott said, “She’s like one of the best in the business. So she was really reliable and didn’t do drugs or anything like that, but she was able to introduce Kristen to girls that were. She was able to put her in that world.”

Before you get the wrong idea, this is not a stripper movie. Scott adds, “This is not about a stripper. It’s about a damaged child.”

Kristen chimed in, “The cool thing about my character is she is not sultry and she is not sexy.”

Agreed. She does look a bit dirty. Either way, I can’t wait to see this movie.
