Hey TwiHards, Betcha didn’t know that Kristen Stewart had so much in common with the feline kind — at least that’s the word from director Jake Scott.

Scott says that working with Kristen Stewart was “like wrangling a herd of cats.”

The filmmaker has dished about his on-set experience with the young actress for the critically-hailed drama 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 when she accepted the role of a troubled teen in The Rileys.

“[Kristen]‘s been playing this same character in – what? – two or three movies now, and that frustrates her. 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,” Scott told E! Online last week.
