In November 2008, the premiere of one of the longest and most successful film sagas on the international scene took place. At that same time, literary adaptations were the order of the day, and the Twilight books were not going to be any less. With five films, and earning more than 3.3 billion dollars, vampires and werewolves have remained in the hearts of viewers.
And if there is a reason why it worked so well and has maintained its success over the years, it is thanks to the protagonists, above all, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. The performances of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart not only managed to hook millions of people, but also made them two of the most recognized actors in the sector. Now, the director of the films has revealed details and her thoughts on the future of the saga.
Catherine Hardwicke, director of Twilight, has appeared on host Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, 11 years after the end of the saga of her life. And it seems that the reboot of these vampire movies could be in talks. And to do this, the American is clear about which actress and actor she would give the main roles to.
Jenna Ortega would be the perfect Bella Swan for the director. The actress who has given life to Wednesday in the hit Netflix series is an "incredible" performer for Hardwicke, and she has no doubt that she would be the main choice.
And to play Edwar Cullen he wanted to mention the young Jacob Elordi, protagonist of My First Kiss or Euphoria. And he is one of the actors with the most impact in recent years. "I mean, it's amazing. I'd probably be Edward today. Exactly," he said.
Although she is clear that the two of them could be perfect protagonists, the door is not closed to other actors and actresses who, for her, could play the role in the best possible way. As she said, there are "a lot of really great young actresses."
Although the opinion of these two actors on the matter is not yet known, it is very likely that they feel praised by this possible proposal, although perhaps their professional commitments would not allow them to participate in the new films of this mythical saga.
But if there are some who are clear about it, they are Twilight fans. "Please, enough of the remakes," several users have assured. However, there are many who welcome the incorporation of these two actors. "I can see this! Jenna would be such an iconic Bella," said a follower of the saga.
