Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has revealed she would choose Jacob Elordi and Jenna Ortega to play the lead roles if the film was ever rebooted
'Twilight' director Catherine Hardwicke would choose Jacob Elordi and Jenna Ortega to play the lead roles in a reboot.
The original movie - based on the book by Stephenie Meyer - was released in 2008 and starred Robert Pattinson as vampire Edward Cullen who strikes up a romance with teenager Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart, and Catherine says she would pick Jacob and Jenna for the roles if she had to name the dream cast for a remake.
During an appearance on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast, host Josh Horowitz asked: "Is Jacob Elordi Edward Cullen today? Is Jenna Ortega ... [Bella]" and Catherine replied: "Oh, that would be perfect."
She added of 'Priscilla' star Jacob: "I mean, he’s amazing. He probably would be Edward today."
Catherine went on to say: "It would’ve changed anyone’s life if they got that part, ... I do think there’s a lot of really cool young actors today. Of course, you just mentioned Jenna Ortega, she’s amazing."
The original film spawned four sequels - 'New Moon' Eclipse' and 'Breaking Dawn Part 1' and 'Part 2' - and it was recently reported a 'Twilight' TV series is in the works at Lionsgate TV.
When asked about the new TV project, Catherine insisted she doesn't know much about it. She said: "[I haven't] actually found out exactly ... I don’t know yet [what it will look like]. Maybe they don’t even know."
She went on to reveal she was involved in a 'Twilight' reunion last year when she attended Pattinson's 37th birthday party along with Stewart.
The moviemaker explained: "Strangely enough, I ended up … I went to Rob's birthday party recently. I kinda crashed with my friend Toni Collette, who had just done a movie with him. We had a fun thing, and then Kristen crashed it too. That was just a few months ago, and it was just like, ‘Oh my God!’ We all hugged each other — like, this is so crazy and cool."
