A ‘Twilight’ Remake? Catherine Hardwicke Casts Her Vote for Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Replacement

In these times, when comic book movies are galore, a standard shift is also
evolving as audiences turn their focus to other genres. The most recent turn of
tide events were Barbie and Oppenheimer, who stood out to prove that good
content is what sails at the box office. Furthermore, rampant growth has spurted
in the fantasy genre thanks to the massive inroads into fans’ hearts by shows
such as Stranger Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] and The
Witcher [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/]. Marrying the themes of
these shows with the good old content of romance takes us back to the times when
The Twilight Saga had nurtured them both.

In a fresh signal that a possible remake may be on the cards, Twilight movie’s
director spilled some beans.


CATHERINE HARDWICKE BELIEVES THESE TWO YOUNG TALENTS ARE APT FOR A TWILIGHT
REMAKE

The American filmmaker’s entry gave birth to the saga of movies that earned
upwards of  $3.4 billion. The Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart-lead went
around for a total of five outings before the series ended. After more than a
decade and a half, Catherine Hardwicke pitched for a remake and her potential
lead choices. The director lent her vote to Wednesday’s Jenna Ortega and
Euphoria’s Jacob Elordi to replace Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson,
respectively.

The fantasy romance centered around the characters of Bella Swan and a vampire,
Edward Cullens. Based on the books by Stephanie Myers, the saga ended in 2015
with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. While the major reason for the
ending was because all the original creative sources had completed their
assimilation into the movies, the cast had agreed to return for a sixth if Myers
were to pen down another book. Regardless, the latter did not happen and a TV
show based on the saga is reportedly in development.

At this very time, both the proposed actors are at different trajectories of
their acting careers and are right on the verge of an even bigger breakthrough.


JACOB ELORDI NEARLY BECAME SUPERMAN AND JENNA ORTEGA EXITS SCREAM 7

The Euphoria actor was notoriously famous for his dark portrayal of Nate Jacobs
in Euphoria. Alongside Sydney Sweeney
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/sydney-sweeney/] and Zendaya, his remarkable
screen presence made him one of the most sneered characters while his personal
repute for acting prowess touched sky-high. Incidentally, James Gunn’s Superman
Legacy had knocked at his doors to replace Henry Cavill but he passed on the
offer

Soon after, he would go on to channel Elvis Presley and deliver one more
emphatic performance with Priscila.

On the other end of the stick, Jenna Ortega will return for season two of
Wednesday. However, the actress exited one of her other franchises,
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-scream-7-finds-itself-in-hot-waters-as-jenna-ortega-steps-away-from-her-role-tara-carpenter-for-wednesday/]Scream. Coincidentally,
the exit came close on the heels of her co-star, Mellissa Barrera’s firing after
controversial remarks on the Israel-Hamas war. Regardless, whether the duo land
a role in Twilight stands in early talks.
