Kristen Stewart: Directing a Twilight Remake?

Palm Springs,Calif. – kristen Stewart is open to revisiting the world of “Twilight,” but with a twist: she’d rather direct a remake than reprise her role as Bella Swan. The actress revealed her interest Sunday at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Creative Impact Awards.

A New Vision for Forks

Stewart’s potential involvement could bring a fresh viewpoint to the beloved vampire saga.

Stewart enthusiastically stated, “Imagine if we had a huge budget and a bunch of love and support… I would love to readapt. Yeah, sure, I’ll do the remake. I’m doing it! I’m committed!”

The idea isn’t about simply recreating what’s been done before. Stewart expressed admiration for the original directors, specifically Catherine Hardwicke and Chris Weitz, acknowledging their unique approaches. “I love what Catherine did, I love what Chris did, I love what all of the directors did with the movies,” she saeid.”They were so themselves and weird and kind of like, squirrelly, and just so present in that time when they didn’t really know what they were yet, like before they blew up.”

Stewart originally starred as Bella Swan alongside Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen in all five “Twilight” films: 2008’s “Twilight,” 2009’s “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” 2010’s “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” 2011’s “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1,” and 2012’s “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.”
