told GQ Spain. “Are you still stuck on that s–t? How can you be sad about something that happened almost 20 years ago? It’s crazy.”“Twilight” launched the careers of Pattinson, 38, and his co-stars Kristen Stewart, 34, and Taylor Lautner, 32, when the installment came out in 2008.The trio went on to star in other “Twilight” films, including “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” (2009), “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” (2010), “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1” (2011) and “The Twilight Saga: Part II” (2012).The five movies turned out to be a $3.3 billion enterprise, according to Variety.But Pattinson had other ideas for the original film, telling GQ in 2022 that he pushed for “Twilight” to be as edgy and emo as possible.

The studio, however, turned down the then 21-year-old actor’s vision for the flick — and it didn’t sit well with the star.“I wanted to make it as arty as possible,” “The Batman” actor said. “We had this strange tension where the studio was scared to make things a little bit too emo and stuff.

I thought that was the only way to play it. I spent so much time [on set] infuriated… I can’t believe the way I was acting half the time.”Pattinson recalled his managers warning him to change his portrayal of Edward or else.
