Kristen Stewart Wants A ‘Twilight’ Series That Sucks…In All The Right Ways

“Harry Potter” did it for wizards, “Lord of the Rings” won big for hobbits, and “Narnia” brought it home for the talking woodland creatures. But can a soon-to-shoot movie similarly turn the creaky film cliché of vampires into the next multimillion-dollar fantasy flick franchise?

“The movie is called ‘Twilight,’ ” 17-year-old “Into the Wild” actress Kristen Stewart beamed when we recently spoke to her. “[’Lords of Dogtown’ filmmaker] Catherine Hardwicke is directing it in Washington. It’s based on a book that’s pretty popular [among] young adult, high school kids.”

Although Stewart and co-star Robert Pattinson (Cedric Diggory!) will soon film only the first movie, they’re already talking about turning the vampire storyline into a series that really sucks. And since the latest book sold over 150,000 copies in its first day alone, Bella and Edward fans everywhere are already counting down the months until the film’s release.

“People really love these books,” said Stewart. “Right now it’s a trilogy, and a fourth book is coming out, so hopefully we’ll get to shoot all four.”

For those who haven’t yet been bitten, “Twilight” will feature Stewart as Bella Swan, a teenage girl whose life gets turned upside-down after she meets and falls in love with a vampire. Additional names will be cast in the next few weeks, but according to the actress, 21-year-old Pattinson is already sinking his teeth into the role of Edward.

“He’s so good and he’s so soulful and he’s just not a liar — you can feel pain from him,” Stewart cooed. “The cool thing about the story is that it’s a seemingly wonderful fantasy — let’s fall in love with vampires and live forever — but it’s so much harder than that. Imagine living forever. Living one life is hard enough.”

But don’t get fooled into thinking this is going to be “The Notebook” for the undead. “The main character is like, superhuman,” Stewart said of the action scenes in the script. “He’s a vampire, but with really [heightened powers]; he can run faster than a car can drive, and he’s super strong. He throws me over his back [in one scene], right before he’s going to tell me that he’s a vampire, and then he runs over the treetops. And we’re going to be in real treetops; we’re not just going to CGI it. We actually get to go up there, and that’s what I’m stoked on.”

“It’s a pretty triumphant love story,” Stewart concluded, looking forward to stepping in front of the cameras. “It’s gonna take a while, and it [deserves to be] at least a series of three.”

Preveiw:

• All posts here should be, yes, you guessed it, Edward and Bella related. There are general communities out there for you to post about the other characters. If you find your post deleted, it's more than likely because the mods didn't find it appropriate for the community. Also, please don't link to locked posts. No one wants to join another community to read your fanfiction or see your icons; it's annoying.
• All casting choices of the pair, official or fan chosen, are welcome here. Yes, we have official casting for the movie, but please keep in mind that 1) fans read the books before any official announcements were made; their visions of the characters are very unlikely to go anywhere and they have no reason to change and 2) some fans aren't even going to see the movie, so there's that. Likewise, because there are different visions for the characters, there will be no anti-anything here. Why put down someone's own Edward and Bella? Don't like a certain graphic because it features So and So? Scroll on by. We just want to be a happy, EDWARD AND BELLA-FILLED COMMUNITY.

• Respect eachother. Really, it's not hard.
• Large images, and icon posts containing more than 4 icons, should be placed under an lj-cut. Previews, using thumbnails, are fine. Just remember that not everyone has a super fast connection to load large amounts of images.
• All types of fanfiction are welcome here, ranging in all ratings. However, please make sure to list the rating accordingly and place your fanficion under a cut. There is a format form in the userinfo should you need it.
• Common courtesy: if you're snagging someone's icons or reading their fanfiction, drop them a quick comment. It's really their only way of knowing that someone enjoyed their work and it takes only a quick second. Plus, they might make/write more.
