Kristen Stewart has expressed her enthusiasm for directing a reboot of the iconic “Twilight” series. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she stated that she would “love to re-adapt” the beloved romance fantasy, originally penned by Stephanie Meyer.
Stewart’s Vision for a “Twilight” Reboot
Stewart, who played the role of Bella Swan in all four “Twilight” films, highlighted the potential of a reboot that comes with a substantial budget and support. She remarked, “Imagine if we had, like, a huge budget and a bunch of love and support.”
Admiration for Past Directors
Kristen reflected on the work of previous directors, saying, “I love what Catherine [Hardwicke] did, I love what Chris [Weitz] did… They were so themselves and weird.” Stewart expressed her admiration for how those directors approached the films during a time when their success was uncertain.
Achievements as a Director
This year marks a significant milestone for Stewart as she made her feature directorial debut with “The Chronology of Water.” The film, featuring Imogen Poots, received a 6.5-minute standing ovation at Cannes and earned her a place among Variety’s 10 Directors to Watch for 2026.
A Year of Major Life Changes
Stewart, 35, reflected on what she described as the “craziest year” of her life. In her personal life, she married screenwriter and producer Dylan Meyer, 38, in April 2025, while also starring in and directing her own film. She admitted needing time to recharge creatively before embarking on her next project.
Desire to Revisit “Twilight”
In her conversations with the media, Stewart pointed out that the directors of the original series faced significant challenges. She questioned whether any, apart from Hardwicke, truly felt they had complete control over their visions. Recognizing the complexities of directing a blockbuster franchise, Stewart’s call for a reboot underscores her commitment to reinvigorating the “Twilight” brand under the right conditions.
With her enthusiasm for a new vision of “Twilight,” Kristen Stewart remains determined to explore the possibilities of bringing the beloved stories back to life.
