Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart has expressed her enthusiasm for directing a reboot of the 2008 vampire film ‘Twilight’, which kickstarted her career. Stewart mentioned her desire for a substantial budget and fan support for this potential project. She praised the previous directors of the franchise for their unique and authentic approaches to the movies.
Stewart, known for her role in the ‘Twilight’ series alongside Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, starred in the original film that led to four sequels. The franchise, which began in 2008, amassed over $3 billion globally. While Stewart is open to revisiting the ‘Twilight’ universe, Pattinson has expressed reservations about returning.
In a recent interview with GQ, Pattinson revealed his frustrations during the filming of ‘Twilight’, citing disagreements with the studio over the film’s artistic direction. He aimed for a more artistic portrayal, which clashed with the studio’s concerns about being too emotional. Pattinson admitted to feeling exasperated on set due to these creative differences.
Stewart, who made her directorial debut with ‘The Chronology of Water’, seems eager to explore new creative ventures beyond acting.
