The film-maker has dished about his on-set experience with the young actress for their newest flick Welcome to the Rileys. “She's very vulpine - very wolfish - and wily, kind of twitchy. Directing her is kind of like wrangling a herd of cats," he said.
"Kristen, more than anyone, would go off-script or off-course, but it would be brilliant and it would work. But it would throw [Rileys co-stars] Jim [Gandolfini] and Melissa [Leo]."
Kristen, who found fame playing Bella in the blockbuster Twilight series, was looking for a new challenge, Scott told E Online. "[Kristen]'s been playing this same character in - what? - two or three movies now, and that frustrates her," he said. "She wants to be taken seriously as an actress — and the crazy thing is, before Twilight, she was doing that kind of work ... She's very proud of her work in this movie."
