Kristen Stewart Wants to get Paid in Welcome to the Rileys Clip

While most people will be renting “Welcome to the Rileys” from Redbox or some other video store chain of your choice because of the promise of Kristen Stewart playing a stripper, there’s another possible excuse in case your girlfriend or family catches you watching it: it’s directed by Jake Scott, son of Ridley Scott, who actually directed a mostly forgotten gem called “Plunkett & Macleane” in 1999. Scott has been mired in music videos since that debut, and “Welcome to the Rileys” is his return to theatrical filmmaking. It’s curious that he has decided to come back with a drama, as I originally thought his career track would go more along the lines of his dad’s, but apparently not so much from what I can tell.

The film stars former “Sopranos” mob boss James Gandolfini as a businessman in New Orleans, who finds himself taking care of a young woman (played by “Twilight’s” Kristen Stewart) who he meets in a strip club. Here’s a fresh clip from the movie, apparently the night after the two’s first meeting. I’m guessing that “things” happened the night before, since Stewart’s Mallory ends up naked under a sheet and demands money for her services. Or maybe not.

The film has a listed January 2010 release date, but as far as I know there hasn’t even been an officially released trailer yet.
