Kristen Stewart is up for directing a Twilight remake with a “huge budget”.<\/p>\n
The 35-year-old actress shot to global fame when she played Bella Swan in the five movies that form the Twilight saga, released between 2008 and 2012, and now Kristen has said she would be interested in stepping behind the camera to re-adapt the vampire romance films.<\/p>\n
Kristen – who was named on a list of 10 up-and-coming directors following the release of her directorial debut, 2025’s The Chronology of Water – told Entertainment Tonight: “I would love.<\/p>\n
“I love what Catherine [Hardwicke] did, I love what Chris [Weitz] did, I love what all of the directors did with the movies.<\/p>\n
“They were so themselves and weird and kind of like, squirrelly, and just so present in that time when they didn\u2019t really know what they were yet, like before they blew up.<\/p>\n
“Imagine if we had a huge budget and a bunch of love and support. I don\u2019t know – I would love to readapt. Yeah, sure, I\u2019ll do the remake. I\u2019m doing it! I\u2019m committed!\u201d<\/p>\n
In total, three instalments of Twilight – which were adapted from author Stephanie Meyer’s novels of the same name – had different directors.<\/p>\n
Catherine, 70, directed the 2008 original, Chris, 56, directed 2009’s New Moon, David Slade, 56, directed 2010’s Eclipse, and Bill Condon, 70, directed the two-part Breaking Dawn finale in 2011 and 2012.<\/p>\n
Kristen starred alongside the likes of Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen), Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black), Anna Kendrick (Jessica Stanley), Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen), and Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen) in the money-spinning franchise.<\/p>\n
However, Kristen never thought a Twilight sequel would get made because she did not predict the success of the first movie.<\/p>\n
In 2022, she said on the Jess Cagle Podcast: “I always want to remind people that [the first \u2018Twilight\u2019 movie was technically an indie] without diminishing it, or being like \u2018it was nothing!\u2019<\/p>\n
“We just did not know. And it was kind of like an oddball, slightly marginal teen movie. I didn\u2019t think everyone was going to take to that. I didn\u2019t think we were going to make a sequel.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Twilight star Kristen Stewart Kristen Stewart is up for directing a Twilight remake with a “huge budget”.
