Kristen Stewart | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

The 2024 Sundance Film Festival is officially underway and there were some big stars in attendance at the opening night gala!

Kristen Stewart, Robert Downey Jr., and director Christopher Nolan were among the major celebs who stepped out for the opening night party on Thursday (January 18) at DeJoria Center in Park City, Utah.

Also in attendance were Kristen‘s Panic Room co-star Jodie Foster with wife Alexandra Hedison, Kristen‘s Adventureland co-star Jesse Eisenberg, Top Gun: Maverick actor Danny Ramirez, Past Lives director Celine Song, and Christopher‘s wife, Oppenheimer producer Emma Thomas.

Kristen received the Visionary Award during the gala and Jesse presented it to her.

“People that make movies that finally find their way [to Sundance], they’re like, psychotic,” Kristen told People. “You have to be kind of crazy to go, ‘I’m telling you, this is a good idea.’ Against all odds, like, ‘This is probably not going to end up good for anyone, but we have to try.’ So when I was younger and worked with all of these incredible directors, they instilled this in me. I was so lucky. I was just a little tiny kid. And now, I’m like, ‘Don’t make a movie unless you have to.’”

Kristen Stewart already had a multitude of acting credits to her name by the time she was chosen to bring Bella Swan to life in Twilight, but the fame that came with the role took her to an entirely different level of stardom.

However, like with any other role in Hollywood, she wasn’t the only star who auditioned for the part.

In fact, four Hollywood A-listers have spoken out and revealed that they also were in the running for the part. One of those actresses was even famously author Stephenie Meyer‘s first choice.

Twilight is on our minds again thanks to a new makeup collaboration, and we pulled together a list of all the actresses who were at some point in the running to play Bella.

Not every star likes their work. Some actors don’t even like to remember that were in a movie or TV show altogether.

Over the past years, many different actors have revealed in interviews that they don’t love the movie and TV roles they took on in the past…even if the roles might be some of their most profitable and well-known works to date.

Sometimes, the celebs have had doubts about their performances. Or, they had bad experiences with their co-stars or directors. And in other cases, they just decided that the script wasn’t all that good looking back. In any case, they’ve all since come out and said they don’t necessarily love their appearances in certain films and TV shows.

It’s unlikely that any actor will love all of the projects that they star in, and Kristen Stewart is no exception to the rule.

The 33-year-old Oscar nominee has starred in a variety of projects, from the Twilight saga to Spencer, the latter of which involved playing Princess Diana. However, during a recent interview, she revealed one project that she doesn’t have the fondest memories of filming.

In fact, she even said that she “hated” the process.

After their meal, Kristen and Dylan were seen hugging their friends goodbye before heading to their car and continuing on with their day.

In a recent interview, Kristen addressed a big rumor about her eventual wedding and who would be marrying her and Dylan.

She also shared some Twilight behind-the-scenes secrets!

Twilight sparked a level of fandom that most movies hope to achieve but never do.

The film franchise, inspired by Stephenie Meyer‘s novels about glittering vampires and werewolves, catapulted Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner to international fame, and it still captivates fans to this day.

You might have watched the movies hundreds of time, but we bet that there are still secrets you are not aware of.

For instance, did you know that a very famous Harry Potter star was in the running for a role? A High School Musical actor also auditioned and missed out on a part in Twilight.

Several actresses had to wear wigs, a key role was almost recast after the first movie and Robert was warned that he would be arrested if he did one thing wrong when he was first cast.

We rounded up 16 secrets from the set of the movie for you to check out!
