She’s no stranger to rumors and Kristen Stewart's latest drama involves a supposed interview her mother Jules gave to The Mirror, a British tabloid.

In the article, Mama Stewart supposedly confirmed that the “Twilight Saga: New Moon” actress was dating her personal assistant Alicia Cargile- “What’s not to be accepting about her now having a girlfriend? She’s happy. I’ve met Kristen’s new girlfriend, I like her.”

However, Jules insists that she never said such a thing! She told Us Weekly, “I spoke to Sharon Feinstein about my film K-11 that has been put on display in the Hollywood Museum. It’s currently there under the Lgbt banner on the third floor. She also asked me about my views on gay rights, which I was happy to express. Then we talked briefly about the fundraiser I am hosting for TheWolfConnection.org. Never ever did we discuss Kristen!

Kristen Stewart‘s mother Jules Stewart was quoted in a recent interview weighing in on her relationship with visual effects producer Alicia Cargile and her sexuality. Kristen Stewart In Lesbian Relationship? Jules, 55, was getting interviewed about her film K-11 and her fundraiser for The Wolf Connection when the Q&A supposedly veered off in the direction of her famous daughter. “I […]

Kristen Stewart’s mom, Jules, is denying a new story in British tabloid The Mirror, which printed an interview with her that began trending over the weekend. In the interview, conducted by Sharon Feinstein, Jules reportedly outed her daughter, supposedly saying, “What’s not to be accepting about her now having a girlfriend? She’s happy. I’ve met Kristen’s new girlfriend, I like her.” The only problem with the quotes? Jules claims she never said them. “I spoke to Sharon Feinstein about my film K-11 that has been put on display in the Hollywood [...]...

Less than a week after Liam Neeson expressed his interest in playing Ra's al Ghul on The CW's hit series Arrow, another actor has won the villainous role. Series star Stephen Amell announced on his Twitter page today that Matt Nable has signed on to play the League of Shadows founder, although it still isn't known when we'll first see him in Season 3.

Please welcome Matt Nable to Arrow. You know who he's playing. pic.twitter.com/f0I7tmujiD

The CW Network announced at Comic-Con 2014 that Ra's al Ghul will be the primary Season 3 nemesis for Oliver Queen, although he was hinted at a number of different times in Season 2, including the presence of his daughter Nyssa (Katrina Law).

Here's what executive producer Marc Guggenheim said during an interview at Comic-Con in July, revealing that they are approaching the character in a much different way...

Kate del Castillo, a soap opera star with a string of hit telenovelas that have made her a household name in Latin America, might just be the most famous actress you’ve never heard of.

While the Mexico City native became famous playing fiercely strong women, it was her turn as a no-holds-barred drug trafficker in the 2011 Telemundo soap La Reina del Sur — a show with season finale ratings that beat English language broadcast networks in major markets — that cemented del Castillo’s status as one of Latin America’s most popular celebrities. Now she’s prepared to stun fans...

One thing's for sure about CBS's upcoming new series "Extant": its cast is one of the best looking on TV! Joining star Halle Berry are the recently announced Goran Visnjic, playing Berry's husband, and Michael O'Neill. Read on for the details.

As you'll see below, the network broke the news on its Twitter feed.

Visnjic is best known as Dr. Luka Kovac on "ER" and also appeared in films The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and K-11. Transformers star O'Neill most recently appeared in Dallas Buyers Club and "Rectify."

"Extant" will debut on Wednesday, July 2 (9:00-10:00 Pm, Et/Pt).

Synopsis:

"Extant" is a mystery thriller about a female astronaut, Molly (Halle Berry), who is trying to reconnect with her family when...

Kate Del Castillo is one of Mexico's most important actresses and one of the most recognized faces in Latin America. Her imposing presence, both in person and on stage, her charisma, beauty and her enormous talent and passion for acting has lead her to be one of the rising stars in the Hollywood and Ibero American film and television industries. We have enjoyed her work in the most important series of American television, shows like 'C.S.I, Miami, Dallas', 'Weeds' and her many films include American Visa, Bordertown,Bad Guys, Under the Same Moon, The Black Pimpernel, Julia, Without Men and soon to be released A Miracle of Spanish Harlem.

She has shared credits with actresses such as Tilda Swinton, Kevin Kline, Mary Louise-Parker, Edward James Olmos, Eva Longoria and Christian Slater. It was in 2011 where Kate landed in the leading role 'as Teresa Mendoza' on the critical acclaimed 'La Reina del Sur' aired originally on Telemundo in the U.S. which positioned her at the height of her career.

In 2012 the film-director Jules Stewart choose her as 'Mousey' in K-11 which is also one of Kate's best acting challenges. We had the opportunity to accompany her on a day of shooting in her new movie called 'Visitors' a psychological thriller written and directed by Acan Coen and produced by the Mexican producers Jorge Aragon and Jesus Magaña. In the film, Kate plays Ana an skeptic surgeon who will try to win back her husband Daniel and her little Sebastián from the curse that has befallen them. Visitors is her comeback as the star of Mexican Cinema and a genre that she had not ventured before. Del Castillo's talked with us about this new project set to be released in 2014 and how she continues to strengthen her career.

LatinoBuzz: You said once that you yearned the feeling of the experience of doing something for the first time, now that you are going for the first time into a new movie genre, how do you feel working in this production?

Kate: Very happy, as I said the first time of anything is always a very special feeling. It's the first time that I work in a genre like this. I'm learning so much, I'm surprising myself everyday with the things that are happening, the rhythms, a movie like this has a very different kind of rhythm. I'm very happy and very excited.

LatinoBuzz: What makes this character special to you? What new challenges has it brought to you as an actress?

Kate: For me, the script is always the most important thing. When I read the script, I loved it, I spent nearly two years to consolidate this project, you know cinema sometimes has its delays, but I think it was all worth it, not only because of the story but also because it is a totally different character. Ana is a surgeon, a pragmatic woman, a very logical woman devoted to science, so what makes this character beautiful is that the perfect structure that Ana had starts crumbling as things with no logic started to happen, so when she begins to find logic to what's really happening, her world begins to crumble. That's why I loved this character, the character arc is very beautiful.

LatinoBuzz: How do you feel working with your director Acán Coen?

Kate: Fine, very happy, it's very cool to work with a new director, it's his first film. I like to see that hunger, that urge and that everything that has a new director I learn so much from everyone. I learn, I learn a lot always.

LatinoBuzz: In the thriller genre there's a really thin line between being a thriller movie or becoming a comedy, if the thriller isn't managed well. What should the audience expect from 'Visitants' ?

Kate: I think that happens more often with Horror. Visitants, it's a psychological thriller, so that doesn't happen with us. Visitants is an important production, it is a very well done production, there is a lot of money behind the film, the special and visual effects people are wonderful, the director, the whole team are very professional people who have been working on this for so many years and we are doing something very, very professional, very well done. There is so much talent in Mexico.

LatinoBuzz: What do you think of Mexican Cinema nowadays? What do you think 'Visitants' can contribute to the industry?

Kate: First of all, making a movie of this genre is rarely performed in Mexico, so it seems a very appropriate choice, is a genre that has a lot of spectators, a genre that the audience likes a lot, that sells a lot, it can be a very commercial film and a film that you can take to festivals at the same time too. Mexican cinema it's very vast, it comes in all genders, of all qualities too. We have a huge capacity to go on to compete around the world, festivals and awards around. It is a genre that not everyone dares to enter and that is a dare too. I like challenges, i like that fear you feel for something new and with a new director, I think it's very important to always support new projects.

LatinoBuzz: Every day you open yourself more doors in the Anglo market, What's next? What are your plans?

Kate: There are many plans, there are many plans with my agency, we want to do many things. We are closing projects. There comes something very important this year that I will be able to say later. I'm interested in seeking projects no matter where, no matter if it is in the United States, whether in Chile, whether in Venezuela. Right now I thank God I have a privileged position where I can afford to choose projects, because I also want to forge a serious and respectable career for me, not for others. My job is to create myself a career that I can go to sleep satisfied with what I'm doing.

LatinoBuzz: I must confess that I especially like your work in 'K-11' your character is impeccable. How was working with the director Jules Stewart?

Kate: Jules is an amazing woman who has worked with all the directors you can imagine, the greatest. She has made thousands of movies working like script supervisor. She had already the entire footage of the movie in her head, we shoot it super fast, she was quite sure what she wanted, everything was amazing and I loved Mousey my character, it was one of those opportunities that you get a once in a lifetime and I could not miss this one. These are the characters where you have lots of fun, you get the chance to add them a lot of things and with Jules help, because there's a very thin line too, right? you can also can became a comedy if this type of character isn't managed well. I am very proud of my work, I can not always say the same thing i am very hard on me, i think it was a job very well done between the two, between Jules and I. Jules is a very charming woman to work with, and is an amazing director, a director who knows how to talk to actors, knows how to work the actors, she knows perfect her camera movements, she had already the entire footage of the movie in her head. Incredible.

LatinoBuzz: Do you miss 'La Reina del Sur' and your role as Teresa Mendoza?

Kate: Very much, very much. Teresa Mendoza is a really beautiful character that has so many things and also goes through a lot. There are very few times that life gives you opportunities like this.

LatinoBuzz: Will there be a movie?

Kate: Maybe, maybe.

LatinoBuzz: Is there a favorite director with whom you would like to work in the future?

Kate: There are many directors I would like to work with. There are many. There are some wonderful spanish filmmakers as Alejandro Amenábar. I love the Coen Brothers too.

LatinoBuzz: What films have inspired you in your career as an actress?

Kate: Many! But one film that fascinates me is 'Orlando' because of the work that Tilda Swinton did there, with whom then I had the fortune to work with in the film 'Julia'. Orlando is one of the films that inspires you and makes you wanna say: I want to be an actress

LatinoBuzz: Where do you see yourself ten years from now?

Kate: I do not see myself, I never make plans, I never set goals and I never do that kind of stuff I don't like to futurize, I barely know what I will do tomorrow and because there is a working plan here, I've never futurized because life always surprises me with things even better.

LatinoBuzz: Mention in three words how would you like the public to remember you:

Kate: In three words I can hardly tell you, but I would like to be reminded with a career that has a wide range, that they can say they see me at least different in each of my roles.

In Part 1 of our Carrie set visit report, we heard from director Kimberly Peirce and star Chloe Moretz regarding their thoughts on the upcoming retelling of the classic Stephen King novel.

We also discussed what they both did to prepare for the project, working with Julianne Moore and much more in regards to their experiences during production.

For this portion of our set visit interviews, we were able to sit down with several of the Carrie co-stars including Judy Greer, Portia Doubleday, Alex Russell and Ansel Engort. In Peirce's film Greer is portraying well-meaning educator Miss Desjardin, and during her roundtable chat she discussed how her character is really the catalyst for all the tragedy that happens in Carrie. Doubleday (who was fantastic in the recent indie thriller K-11) chatted about what we can expect from resident mean girl Chris Hargensen in Screen Gems’ upcoming production, and newcomers Russell and...

While Kristen Stewart's heart might be shattered after her recent split with boyfriend Robert Pattinson, her mother Jules Stewart, on the other hand, is celebrating a small victory of her own.

A friend of Kristen Stewart Exclusively told HollywoodLife.com that she is not upset with her mom for the comments she made in the ‘Los Angeles Times’ about Kristen’s career.

After Jules Stewart commented that she had much more experience than daughter Kristen Stewart, it was assumed that K-Stew might be angry with her mother. However, HollywoodLife.com has exclusively learned that Kristen is extremely proud of her mother, and they have a great relationship. Jules is Kristen’s “number one fan.”

Kristen’s Not Upset With Her Mother

“Kristen is not mad at her mom at all, in fact she is really proud of Jules,” a source close to Kristen told us. “They have a very tight relationship and it would take a lot to put a dent in their relationship. Jules considers Kristen to be an old soul and treats her like an adult.”

The source continued...

Somehow, this little nugget slipped right through the cracks ... until today. Lately, Kristen Stewart's name has been coming up a lot, despite the fact that she's currently on break until filming for Focus picks up this April. Why? Well, her mother Jules Mann Stewart is currently ushering in her directorial debut, K-11, and her famous daughter is a topic of real interest for a lot of folks. Not only are they related, but Kristen Stewart also did a voice micro-cameo in the film which has now been unearthed (see/listen to attached video). Jules Stewart did say that Stewart's part in the film - which was originally supposed to be larger before she signed on for Snow White And The Huntsman and in fact even once upon a time included Twilight co-star Nikki Reed - would be small, and boy was she right. It sounds like Stewart simply says...

Kristen Stewart might not be the star of her mother Jules Stewart’s movie, ‘K-11,’ but she does have a small vocal cameo in the flick. Get a listen!

Kristen Stewart was determined to have a role in her mother Jules Stewart’s film, K-11, but was forced to back out due to scheduling conflicts. Instead, Kristen’s brother Cameron Stewart starred in the film and Kristen made a compromise by doing a vocal cameo.

Kristen Stewart’s Mini Cameo For ‘K-11′

K-11 is about a record producer who finds himself in a section of the Los Angeles County Jail reserved for homosexuals, which is ruled by a transexual named Mousey.

The supporting role Kristen was supposed to play was given to Youth in Revolt star Portia Doubleday. The movie aired on March 15 in theatres and OnDemand.

Kristen’s vocal cameo is in a scene where her voice can be heard over the phone.

Kristen Stewart may have dropped out of her mom Jules Stewart's directorial debut, K-11, but that doesn't mean she isn't in the film. K.Stew makes a vocal cameo in the film about a businessman, Raymond Saxx (played by Goran Visnjic), who finds himselft thrown into the gay and transsexual unit of a Los Angeles jail after he's arrested for drug use. "We had one role that we couldn't find the right voice for and it's Raymond's secretary," Jules told me at her Libertine Films production offices in L.A. "As he's on the telephone frantically trying to call outside, trying to get information, his secretary answers the phone and talks to him, and that, in fact, is Kristen. It was...

Kristen Stewarts’ mother Jules gave a new interview to the ‘La Times’ today, March 15, in which she sounds frustrated that she is overshadowed by her daughter.

But I doubt she meant to be hurtful. Kristen Stewart‘s mom Jules is speaking out to publicize the new film that she directed, K-11. Unfortunately, in the interview she makes a few points that make her possibly sound as if she is envious of her famous daughter, the star of Twilight.

Is Jules Stewart Jealous Of Kristen Stewart?

“It’s extremely frustrating for me, because she’s 22 years old and I’m almost 60,” said KStew’s mother. “In terms of life experience — hello! — I have it all over her. It’s not like I came out of nowhere,” she told Amy Kaufman of the La Times.

She also says: “To the world, I have no name. I am ‘Mama Stew’ — that’s what they call me,...

Do we have a mother-daughter rivalry brewing? In a new interview, Jules Stewart says she’s got ‘it all over’ Kristen in terms of experience. Read on for the shocking interview!

Jules Stewart sounds a little bitter about having Kristen Stewart as a daughter. In a little role reversal situation, it’s the mom who’s jealous of the daughter!

Kristen Stewart’s Mom: ‘It’s Extremely Frustrating’

“It’s extremely frustrating for me,” Jules says about being Kristen’s mother in a new interview with the Los Angeles Times. You may not have known, but Jules, 58, has worked on tons of films since coming to the United States from Australia at the age of 16. She has worked for years as a script supervisor and is actually responsible for bringing Kristen into the movie business.

Which must be why she’s so bitter now. “She’s 22 years old and I’m almost 60,” Jules says.

Kristen Stewart is not the only Stewart in showbusiness.

In fact, both of her parents have been in the industry for years -- her father, John, is a TV producer and stage manager, while her mother, Jules, is a longtime script supervisor, who made her directorial debut with "K-11," which hits theaters on March 15.

The film follows a record producer who winds up in jail after a blackout, and is placed in K-11, the wing of prison reserved for homosexual and transgender prisoners.

Though Jules has been in the business since before Kristen was born, she fears that people will think the only reason she was able to make her film was her ultra-famous daughter.

"It's extremely frustrating for me, because she's 22 years old and I'm almost 60," Jules told the Los Angeles Times. "In terms of life experience — hello! — I have it all over her. It's not like I came out of nowhere.

Hamshank Redemption: Stewart’s Debut a Trashy, Lurid Queersploitation Effort

Jules Stewart, mother of that actress Kristen Stewart, makes a curious and fascinatingly trashy exploitation grindhouse directorial debut with K-11, which plays like one of those women in prison shockers made in the 70s with names like Pam Grier or Mercedes McCambridge headlining. Here we see a number of familiar faces populating the queer and transgendered ward of a Los Angeles County Prison, and while the end result is not actually empowering, it does have a lurid and arresting appeal, not unlike an overtly insistent train wreck.

Raymond Saxx Jr. (Goran Visnjic) is a highly successful record producer that gets thrown into county in the middle of a hellish drug binge. When he finally recovers consciousness, he learns that he has been accused of killing one of his more famous musical clients in some sort of drug induced rage of jealousy.

Title: K-11 Director: Jules Stewart Starring: Goran Visnjic, Kate Del Castillo, Db Sweeney, Jason Mewes, Portia Doubleday, Tiny Lister, Tara Buck, Billy Morrison, Cameron Stewart Nope, the directorial debut of Jules Stewart, the mother of “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart, isn’t a flash-forward sequel to James Belushi’s “K-9,” or the tale of an exponentially high mountain range. Instead, the bewildering “K-11,” at once intense and archly presented, is a careening updating (send-up? celebration?) of women-in-prison exploitation flicks like “Caged Heat.” A pulpy, psychologically hollow and emotionally indiscernible mélange of phony jailhouse intrigue and showy gender-politicking, with a bit of anal rape sprinkled in, Stewart’s film is too ridiculous to be taken seriously and not tightly [ Read More ]

In a new interview Jules Stewart confirms something about K-Stew that we’ve always suspected, saying that there’s an underlying darkness in her ‘Twilight’ daughter. Is her own mother slamming her? Keep reading to find out!

Kristen Stewart has always seemed a little devious, like there’s something behind that sweet Bella Swan innocence. Turns out her mother feels the same way!

Kristen Stewart’s Mom: She ‘Has A Dark Side’

Talking to Us Weekly about her new movie K-11, Jules Stewart explained how Kristen was attached to play the lead role for it six years ago before the Twilight series lifted her career to a totally new level.

The rough and tough movie, about a section of the Los Angeles County Jail reserved for Lgbt inmates, would have been a pretty serious, grim role for K-Stew, but her mother believed she could have handled it: “Kristen has a dark side.

Washington, Mar h 11: Kristen Stewart's mother Jules Stewart, who is a seasoned Hollywood script-supervisor, is all set to make her directorial debut with K-11, a gripping prison drama.

Jules said that she wanted to make a film that would make people think a little bit more about something unique and different as she was bored of watching 'Spider-Man'.

The upcoming flick, which is set inside a section of the Los Angeles County Jail reserved for Lgbt inmates, explores the politics of race and gender equality through Raymond Saxx (Goran Visnjik), a businessman who is forced to deal with violence, crooked cops and a manipulative.

If you've ever wondered where Kristen Stewart gets that charming edge from, just ask her mother! Seasoned Hollywood script-supervisor Jules Stewart makes her directorial debut with K-11, a gripping prison drama that's a far cry from her daughter's Twilight Saga blockbusters. "I can't watch Spider-Man anymore," Jules tells Us Weekly. "I just can't watch six variations of the same thing -- it just makes me a little crazy." Instead, Jules sought out to make a film that she hoped would make people think a little bit more [...]...

This Friday, Jules Stewart's edgy and challenging directorial debut K-11 arrives in limited theaters courtesy of Breaking Glass Pictures. Featuring an eclectic cast of characters, the indie prison-centric thriller is a bold introduction from the seasoned script supervisor.

Through the years Stewart has overseen over 80 projects throughout her 30+ years in Hollywood.

Considering that K-11 is by far one of the most blisteringly raw debuts we've seen in some time, we knew we'd have a ton of questions for Stewart when we recently caught up with her on the phone. During our interview, we spoke to Stewart about working outside 'the system,' her thoughts on what attracted her to co-writer Jared Kurt's original story that's based on a real portion of the La County Jail system, the challenges of managing 46 distinct characters and personalities inside one location while shooting K-11 and much more.

Check out the highlights from...

K-11 is without a doubt Kristen Stewart’s most outrageous film ever, and who better to credit than her own mother, director and writer Jules Stewart. Read on for all the reasons you must see this captivating film.

Ok, so Kristen Stewart doesn’t actually star in K-11, but she does voice a key role – the lead character’s secretary, Karen, who answers his desperate phone call from prison. Jules Stewart proves she’s got what it takes to be an A-list filmmaker with her directorial debut. Bravo!

Welcome to K-11, the intensely bizarre, sexually-charged, creepy jail dormitory in Los Angeles, reserved only for gay men and transgenders. In an interview, Jules says that a real K-11 actually exists in the Los Angeles County Men’s Central Jail and that’s where the idea for her film originated.

The film centers around Raymond Saxx, a tall, dark and handsome (like...

Since making his feature film debut in the 1985 flick Runaway Train, Tommy "Tiny" Lister has worked on over 160 projects, quickly becoming one of the most recognizable character actors of modern cinema.

This Friday, March 8th, Lister's latest film, K-11, will be arriving at limited theaters nationwide. Helmed by first-time director Jules Stewart (Crank: High Voltage, XXX), K-11 also stars Goran Visnjic ("ER," The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Kate del Castillo ("Weeds"), D.B. Sweeney (The Cutting Edge, Fire in the Sky), Jason Mewes (Clerks I & II) and Portia Doubleday (the upcoming Carrie) and follows what happens inside a troubled portion of a Los Angeles correctional facility reserved for the homosexual and transgender inmates. In the film Lister plays Detroit, and while it's certainly not the first time we've ever seen the seasoned actor as a convict, it's perhaps his most nuanced performance to date.

As someone who grew up on...

Hard to believe the image seen here is of actress and Mexico's sweetheart Kate del Castillo as a transsexual inmate in a film by Kristen Stewart's mother, Jules Stewart. Take a look at the full character poster and trailer for K-11.

In K-11, Kate del Castillo takes on a role of a man transformed into a woman named Mousey who runs the secret section of the jail for homosexuals.  Kate del Castillo playing a transsexual is quite a shock especially with such a ferocity and devilish face that would make anyone think this is a horror film instead of a jail house drama.  She is obviously going for the 70s chola-look (female gangster) or something out of a John Waters' movie (Divine). This role is far from the motherly roles we have been accustomed to recently

Mexican actress Kate del Castillo is giving life to what may be one of the most complex characters in her career, a violent Chicano transsexual trapped behind bars in the disturbing thriller “K-11.”

The movie, which is schedule to premier on March 15, was directed by Jules Stewart (mother of actress Kristen Stewart) and revolves around music executive Ray Saxx Jr. (Goran Visnjic), who after a night of massive drug consumption finds himself in a unique section of a Los Angeles jail.

Surrounded by criminal transvestites, addicts, and mentally unstable fellow prisoners and corrupt officials, he will attempt to survive as he figures out how exactly he got himself into this situation. (Check Out The Trailer Above)

Del Castillo’s role, as Julio ‘Mousey’ Ruiz, prisoner leader of the criminal institution, will be to control the area apparently reserved for gay male convicts and make sure Saxx has more than enough reasons to find an escape.

We started reporting on K-11 back in 2008 when we found out Jules Stewart wanted her daughter Kristen Stewart and Twilight co-star Nikki Reed in the leading roles. Although that didn't come to fruition, the film was made and will be released next month, and it might still be of interest to you. K-11 is the name of the part of the L.A. County Jail where Lgbt prisoners are sent for their perceived safety. Having seen the film, I can tell you there doesn't seem to be any lesbians in there, but Kate del Castillo plays the transexual leader who keeps even the guards in their places.

Family relations are one way of getting into the industry, and it turns out Kristen Stewart's career is the result of at least one such family member.  Not another actor, but a script supervisor and now a director.  The family member is Jules Stewart, Kristen's mother, who made a film called K-11. K-11 is a film that depicts life in the Los Angeles Gay/Transgendered prison ward of the same name. Dammit, when are you going to give us an original movie, Hollywood?  Check out the red-band trailer after the jump.

It was almost a year ago when last we reported on K-11, the directorial debut of Kristen Stewart's mother, Jules Stewart.  Although Kristen Stewart's potential part was performed instead by Portia Doubleday (Youth in Revolt), Stewart-sibling Cameron does have a role in the picture.  The real standout, however, is the popular Mexican actress Kate del Castillo (Under the Same Moon), who plays a transsexual leader of the titular section of the La County Jail, an apparently brutal area reserved for homosexuals.  Hit the jump to watch the violent red-band trailer and see the new character poster for K-11 featuring del Castillo.  K-11 will be available on demand and in theaters starting March 15th. Check out the red-band trailer and new poster for K-11 below (via ShowbizCafe): Here's the synopsis for K-11: Like Alice in a brutally violent Wonderland, music executive Ray Saxx, Jr. is trapped in K-11,...

About two years ago, it was reported that Kristen Stewart's mother, Jules Stewart, was planning to make her directorial debut on "K-11," with Kristen starring as a transgender character. Kristen eventually dropped out, but Jules was still able to put together a decent cast, including Goran Visnjic (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Kate del Castillo ("Weeds"), D.B. Sweeney (Hardball), Portia Doubleday (Youth in Revolt), Jason Mewes(Clerks), and Tommy "Tiny" Lister (The Fifth Element). In the movie, Visnjic stars as a successful young record producer who wakes up after a three-day binge in a special unit of La County's Men's Central Jail dedicated to homosexual prisoners, a place ruled by a transsexual (Del Castillo). "K-11" is set to be released on March 15th, in fifteen theaters. Watch the restricted trailer below. Trailer:...

Jules Stewart, mother of Twilight star Kristen Stewart, has been in Hollywood for some time, working as script supervisor on projects since the late '80s, but now she's looking to branch out into directing and she's starting things off with K-11, which Breaking Glass Pictures has just announced they'll be releasing in fifteen cities March 15 as a platform release, including Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, Denver, Tempe and Philadelphia. Stewart penned the script which stars Kate Del Castillo as Mousey, a malicious transgendered inmate who takes charge in Los Angeles County Jail's Lgbt section, and Goran Visnjic (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) whose drug use leads him straight into Mousey's charge after he commits a crime in the haze of drug use. Check out the red band trailer below.

Kristen’s next movie, ‘K-11′ has already received rave reviews worldwide, and now it has a U.S. release date — we can’t wait to see it!

The edgy flick will be in theaters and on demand on March 15, 2013!
