Stewart, who stars in the film with ex-"Sopranos" mob boss James Gandolfini, will play a 16-year-old stripper and prostitute in the flick -- and her character, Mallory, will spend several scenes in the buff.

"It's an independent movie that nobody would normally see and now it's like, 'Oh, let's go see Bella in this stripper movie -- it'll be crazy,'" Stewart told WENN.com.

The "Adventureland" actress will also star in "Welcome to the Rileys" with Melissa Leo, who plays Gandolfini's wife.

Stewart will next play Joan Jett in "The Runaways" and is contracted to star in two more films in the "Twilight" series.
