This duo has every chance of eclipsing Pattinson and Stewart.
Director of the first film in the saga "Twilight» Catherine Hardwicke appeared as a guest on the Watch-a-long podcast. In the episode, she was asked to imagine who might play the main characters today if the franchise were to get a reboot.
She noted, that there are now many talented young actors, and named two names: Jacob Elordi (“Euphoria,” “Priscilla: Elvis and Me”) and Jenna Ortega (“Wednesday»). According to Hardwicke, they would be perfect for the roles of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.
She also said that at one time she had to defend Robert Pattinson in front of the studio: he appeared at the audition for stained shirt with strange bangs and not in the best physical shape because he spent too much time in pubs But Hardwick managed to convince management that if the actor started training and the team worked on his hair and image, he would make a great Edward. And you know the rest yourself.
It is worth noting that there is no talk of a real restart of the film saga yet: these are just fantasies from interviews.
