In a recent interview with 'Entertainment Tonight,' actress Kristen Stewart said she "would love" to direct a remake of ‘Twilight,’ the vampire romance film series that captured the hearts of teenagers all over the world back in 2008. Stewart also said she would want to receive a "huge budget" and "a bunch of love and support" from her fans should she decide to go ahead with the project.
The 2008 original movie was followed by four sequels: ‘New Moon’ (2009), ‘Eclipse’ (2010), ‘Breaking Dawn – Part 1’ (2011), and ‘Breaking Dawn – Part 2’ (2012). Together, the series, based on the books, grossed over US$3 billion worldwide, helping launch the career of Stewart herself, as well as famous stars like Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.
