Kristen poised to be Miss Sundance 2010, Sundance Director defends including two of her movies

KStew may miss Sundance 2010, but she maybe the next Indie Movie Queen as posted on TwilightPoison. Check it out! -Liana- (via @TwilightPoison)

Zap2It.com talks about the possibilities of Kristen becoming the next Indie Queen.
“Twilight Saga” star Kristen Stewart has two films at the festival — she plays 80’s rocker Joan Jett in “The Runaways” and a troubled stripper in “Welcome to the Riley’s” — which puts her in the running to be Miss Sundance 2010, according to our cinema scooper Greg Ellwood over at HitFix.com.
In Kristen’s case, she’s doing it backwards. She’s already a big box office star and a major international celebrity, thanks to her “Twilight” role. So the Indie Queen title is just, well, icing on the cake. Or a fresh layer of snow on the slopes.
Not terribly surprising are the negative shudders from some snooty Sundance regulars to international celebrity Stewart’s inclusion in the fest. Guess they didn’t hear about her BAFTA Rising Star nomination.
But Sundance director John Cooper defends his choice to put two of her films in the festival. “She’s putting her money where her mouth is … I think it’s great. These are tough parts.”
