Hit Fix: Kristen Stewart and The Yellow Hankerchief

Greg from Hit Fix covered The Yellow Hankerchief press junket talking to Kristen Stewart and Eddie Ramayne.

“It’s hard to believe, but it’s taken over two years for the drama “The Yellow Handkerchief” to theaters. Debuting at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008, the film features great performances by William Hurt, Maria Bello, Kristen Stewart and Eddie Radmayne. Unfortunately, even after “Twilight” and Stewart’s starpower exploded a year ago it took small distributor Samuel Goldwyn to come on board and bring legendary producer Arthur Cohn’s passion project to the screen.

Directed by Udayan Prasad, “Handkerchief” finds Hurt playing an ex-conflict fresh out of prison who is at a crossroads at his life. As he decides whether to pick up with his old girlfriend (Bello), he meets two teenage drifters (Stewart, Redmayne). Are they three four souls who are a new family or wanderers drifting in the night?

Talking to Stewart and Redmayne, I made the point that neither actor had to publicize “Handkerchief.” Both were probably paid close to scale and the film will hardly be a global blockbuster. However, both actors displayed their passion for the film — even if it’s been years since they’ve seen it. ”
