Kristen Stewart criticizes studio's attempt to alter 'Twilight' real essence
Kristen Stewart disclosed that the studio risked to shape 'Twilight' into a film tailored for children
Kristen Stewart has highlighted the clash between the studio’s vision and the essence of the original book regarding the infamous series of Twilight.
While conversing with Rolling Stone for the cover story, the Spencer starlet shared the studio attempted to shape the five-series movie into a film more likely made for children as they wanted to divert it from the darker theme based on its novel.
Stewart revealed about her character Bella Swan that she was stuck to her own interpretation related to the role, despite some of the film executives wanting the character's depiction in a more cheerful way in Twilight.
She shared, “The studio was trying to make a movie for kids,” adding, “They didn’t want what actually was the book. When the fuck are [Bella and Edward] smiling, ever?”
Stewart went on to say, “Rob and I can’t just keep talking about that shit, because it’s fucking weird.”
She further added, “It’s like if someone kept asking you — I mean for literally decades — ‘But senior year in high school?’ You’re like, ‘Fucking A, man! I don’t know!’”

During an interview with Variety last month, Stewart mentioned that as time passed she revisited her role and interpreted the character differently as she said, “I can only see it now.”
Stewart added, “I don’t think it necessarily started off that way, but I also think that the fact that I was there at all, it was percolating. It’s such a gay movie. I mean, Jesus Christ, Taylor [Lautner] and Rob and me, and it’s so hidden and not OK. I mean, a Mormon woman wrote this book. It’s all about oppression, about wanting what’s going to destroy you. That’s a very Gothic, gay inclination that I love.”
It is pertinent to mention that she made her came back to theatres next month with the A24 crime thriller Love Lies Bleeding, directed by Rose Glass.
