Bella for direction? Kristen Stewart is open to helming Twilight remake
India, Jan. 8 -- Hollywood actor Kristen Stewart would welcome the chance to step behind the camera for the Twilight films if the opportunity ever arises, revealing she would be more than willing to direct a future remake of the blockbuster franchise.
The 35-year-old actor, during a recent event in the US, said she'd be excited to reimagine the Twilight saga, revisiting the world she once defined as Bella Swan in five film.
"I would love - look. I love what Catherine (Hardwicke) did, I love what Chris (Weitz) did, I love what all of the directors did with the movies," she said when the suggestion was put to her. "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," she added.
Kristen went on to imagine what a new iteration could look like with the backing of a major studio. "Imagine if we had a huge budget and a bunch of love and support. I don't know - I would love to readapt. Yeah, sure, I'll do the remake. I'm doing it! I'm committed!" she quipped.
The actor rose to stardom after being part of the Twilight franchise, which was adapted from the bestselling series of vampire romance novels by Stephenie Meyer. The series became a pop-culture phenomenon, with Kristen starring opposite actors Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. The films were helmed by multiple directors across the saga, including Catherine Hardwicke, Chris Weitz, David Slade, and Bill Condon.
