Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the original Twilight movie, recently revealed her dream cast for a potential reboot. Hardwicke expressed her belief that Jacob Elordi would be a great choice to play Edward Cullen, while Jenna Ortega would be perfect for the role of Bella Swan. She mentioned that these roles could have a significant impact on the actors' lives and praised the talent of young actors like Ortega. However, it is important to note that there are currently no plans for a Twilight remake or continuation of the series. The original Twilight film, released in 2008, was a box office success and launched the careers of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Hardwicke also mentioned attending Robert Pattinson's birthday party last year, where she had a Twilight reunion with Pattinson and Stewart. While a Twilight TV series is reportedly in development, Hardwicke stated that she doesn't know much about the project [2b9f4650].

Kristen Stewart, the lead actress in the Twilight film series, recently revealed that studio executives wanted the film to be a 'movie for children', despite its offensive subject matter. The rights to the Twilight novel were acquired by Summit Entertainment, which distributed the feature film. Stewart compared her experience with the film series to her 'senior year of high school' and reflected on its legacy, describing it as 'such a gay movie'. A Twilight TV series is currently in the works, with Stephanie Meyer expected to be involved and the original producers serving as executive producers [2b9f4650][0ebe0c71].

Ed Westwick, known for his role in the TV series 'Gossip Girl', spoke to MovieWeb about his role in the film 'DarkGame'. In the movie, Westwick plays a hardnosed detective investigating a deadly reality game on the dark web. He found inspiration for his role from eerie real-life surroundings and had to use his imagination to react to the dark scenes. Westwick also discussed his past work with Paul Giamatti and expressed his excitement for another project called 'Killers of the Flower Moon'. Additionally, Westwick mentioned that he will be reuniting with his 'Gossip Girl' co-star Chase Crawford at a fan convention. 'DarkGame' was released on February 20 [75724a85].
