Kristen Stewart Fearless: 'Dark Moon Rising' Movie Director Justin Price 'Twilight' Love, Robert Pattinson & FKA Twigs Wedding Drama

Although the "Twilight" film saga officially ended in 2012 with "Breaking Dawn Part 2," beloved Bella Swan actress Kristen Stewart continues receiving ample love and praise within the industry. According to up-and-coming movie director Justin Price, K-Stew is one of the most "fearless" females in Hollywood right now. You go, girl!

Price's new film "Dark Moon Rising" is yet another werewolf thriller (scheduled for an official August 4 release date):

"A group of shape-shifting werewolves descend upon a small town in search of a girl who is re-born once every 2000 years. She holds the key to their survival and all will die who stand in their way" (via IMDb).

After it's initial release back in April, "Dark Moon Rising" received very positive reviews from online critics:

In a recent interview with MoviePilot.com, reporter Jessica Harmon asks - "Do you think, maybe, the Twilight films hurt the werewolf genre - since their representation of a wolf was a little less, er, ferocious than we're use to?"

Well, Price sure doesn't think so:

"A franchise that brought about diversity amongst its cast and talented leading men in Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson, and one of the more fearless actresses in Kristen Stewart? That franchise? I honestly can't begin to fathom how a series of films with so many positives can brew about this sense of letdown. Forget the fact that its hard to make a film, but any film that gives us a way to come together to root for heroes and to escape into our imaginations is a great film."

So, why should the 25-year-old starlet worry about drama involving ex-boyfriend Robert Pattinson's upcoming wedding to FKA Twigs, when the nonstop love and support continues pouring in? Stewart's career continues booming. Her highly-anticipated new stoner flick "American Ultra" (also starring Jesse Eisenberg) hits theaters on August 21:
