Twilight Director Catherine Hardwicke Doesn’t Remember Jennifer Lawrence Audition
Hardwicke's Laser Focus on Kristen Stewart
In a recent episode of Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke revealed that she doesn't remember most of the actresses who auditioned for the role of Bella Swan in the popular film series. When asked about famous actresses like Jennifer Lawrence and Brie Larson auditioning for the role, Hardwicke said she couldn't guarantee if they auditioned in front of her. She had her eyes set on Kristen Stewart from the beginning and was laser-focused on casting her.
Kristen Stewart's "It" Factor
Hardwicke explained her decision, saying, "As soon as I saw Into the Wild, I'm like, 'I think she's it.' So they might have been seeing all of these other people, but then I was just laser-focused like, 'I want her.' Soon as I met her and went out there and spent that time that weekend, I thought, 'She's got it. No bullshit, she's never going to overact, she's got that angst … of course, her face is luminous.' The camera, you can shoot anything and she looks amazing."
Check out a clip from the podcast discussion:
Twilight Synopsis
The first Twilight movie's synopsis reads, "High-school student Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), always a bit of a misfit, doesn't expect life to change much when she moves from sunny Arizona to rainy Washington state. Then she meets Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a handsome but mysterious teen whose eyes seem to peer directly into her soul. Edward is a vampire whose family does not drink blood, and Bella, far from being frightened, enters into a dangerous romance with her immortal soulmate."
