True star of the saga TwilightRobert Pattinson did not convince the producers at the start of the project. The latter found in fact that it was not “quite beautiful” to play the role of vampire Edward Cullen.
At the beginning of January, the saga Twilight has finally made its comeback on a streaming platform and fans seem to be rejoicing about it since several of the feature films are currently among the most viewed programs on Prime Video. With five films on the clock, the saga Twilight revealed Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson to the general public. But for the latter, the role of Edward was not won in advance. It turns out that the producers did not find the actor attractive enough to play the main role of their film, the vampire hero of Stephenie Meyer’s saga. In the podcast Happy Sad Confused by Josh Horowitz, director Catherine Hardwicke also remembered her first meeting with the man who became a father a few months ago.
The producers of Twilight didn’t always believe in Robert Pattinson
“When he came to my house, his hair was messy and he was hanging out at the pub. And after hours of auditioning with Kristen at my house doing the biology class scene or the kissing scene in my own bed that ‘he dropped (laughs), I looked at all the shots I had made. At that moment, I understood that it worked not only in person, but especially through the screen.first revealed Catherine Hardwicke, before adding: “But I had to make sure it really came across. So I sent everything to the producers. They called me directly and asked: ‘Do you think you can make it beautiful?’ And I told them that we were going to do everything for it. We’re going to fix his hair and everything, he’s going to start exercising and he’s going to look amazing.” The director ended up concluding: “But at first, they didn’t believe it. Il came there with a stained shirt or something. It was Rob.”
How Robert Pattinson tried to make Twilight scarier
For his part, Robert Pattinson revealed to the American site Indiewire that he would have liked Twilight becomes something other than a love story. He did try things in this direction, but he was held back by production. “I was doing strange things and, to be honest, I always thought Twilight was very strange. It was actually more through marketing that it became mainstream. If you look at interviews I did for These films, I pushed to chew placenta… Any element that I could make disgusting, I went all out”he declared.
