Did you know Jennifer Lawrence had auditioned for a role in the popular Twilight series but was rejected? Lawrence recently appeared in an episode of The Rewatchables and revealed to host Bill Simmons her experience of auditioning for the 2008 film.&nbsp; 
 
"I auditioned for Twilight," she said. "They turned me down immediately. I didn't even get a callback, but my life would have been totally different." 
 
Twilight may have not worked out for Lawrence,&nbsp;but the actress shot to fame the next year with The Hunger Games and even fetched an Oscar nomination for her role in the 2010 drama Winter's Bone. The two films helped her become an overnight star. Lawrence played Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games franchise.&nbsp; 
 
Lawrence seemingly has no hard feelings that Twilight did not work out for her. The actress believes her career would not have turned out that differently if she was cast in Twilight.&nbsp; 
 
While she was part of four Hunger Games movies between 2012 and 2015, she also starred in several other projects to make sure she wasn't known exclusively for playing Katniss. She said that she would have done the same if she starred in Twilight. 
 
"I have to churn out movies in between so that I'm not only known for this franchise," Lawrence told Simmons. "I was still in a franchise, so I was still trying to counteract the franchise-ness and I would still be doing that if I was in Twilight."

The mother of one later explained that she almost did not star in The Hunger Games because she saw the fandom that surrounded Twilight stars, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. 
 
"That was just something I never had in mind," Lawrence said of that 'Twilight-level' fame. "I want to do Indies and I wanted to do good films, but I didn't want to be the most famous person on the planet. That's a very different life than what I had pictured for myself." 
 
While Lawrence did not seem to mind missing out on Twilight, she was "devastated" to miss being cast in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. The role went to Mia Wasikowska instead. 
 
"The one thing that really killed me, the only time I’ve ever been truly devastated by losing an audition — because most of the time you’re like, ‘Eh, wasn’t meant to be, move on, what can you do?' — was Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland," Lawrence told Howard Stern in 2018. "That one devastated me." 
 
Lawrence's new movie, No Hard Feelings, is currently in theatres. The next instalment in the Hunger Games franchise, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, hits theatres later in November this year.

Jennifer Lawrence had auditioned for the Twilight series: 'They turned me down'

The fan-following of the hit ‘Twilight’ saga refuses to die down even after 10 years since its initial release. But the hit pair of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson—who had played bella Swan and Edward Cullen respectively—was not the original choices for the lead roles.

 
In a blog post from 2007 that has now resurfaced, author Stephenie Meyer, who wrote the ‘Twilight’ book series, talked about her choices for the casting. “My opinions on the movie matter to no one. I have no influence on what goes on with the movie at all. No one is going to ask who I think should star in Twilight… Right now my favorite choice is Emily Browning, of Lemony Snicket’s fame… The only actor I’ve ever seen who I think could come close to pulling off Edward Cullen is Henry Cavill… I didn’t find an actress that looked like Rosalie to me, but I did find a model…Joanna Krupa. And hey, don’t all models want to be actresses?”&nbsp;

 
Nikki Reed went on to play the part of Rosalie. She wanted Daniel Cudmore as Emmett, but that role was bagged by Kellan Lutz.

 
For the uninitiated, the ‘Twilight’ franchise followed the love story between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, who came from a family of vampires and was one himself.&nbsp;

'Twilight' casting coup: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson not first choices

It has been 12 years since the 'Twilight' saga ended. But author Stephene Meyers book series based on Edward and Bella's love story remains popular till date. The fans of the series which was later made into popular feature films featuring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have remained loyal to the franchise. Mayers recently made a comeback of sorts with her new book 'Midnight Sun' and on Tuesday as the book was launched it leaped up to #1 spot on Amazon's bestselling books. 
 
'Midnight Sun' reimagines the iconic love story from Edward's perspective and was initially slated to release in 2008 soon after the release of 'Breaking Dawn,' the last book in the original series. But an unedited manuscript was leaked around the same time, which the put release of the book on hold for so many years. 
 
This year in May, Meyer teased the novel's release when a mysterious countdown appeared on her website and since then fans have been waiting with bated breath for the release of the book. 
 
Several took to Twitter to show their excitement over the book. 
 
ITS HERE," one fan tweeted with a photo of the book. "The binge-reading stars now."

"Who is ready to go back to being 12 years old again?" another person tweeted with pictures of the book and the 'Twilight' soundtrack playlist on Spotify.

So what took Meyer so many years to release the sequel. " Because I finished it," she told The New York Times. 
"The reason it wasn't published earlier was because it was not done, and when I did see the light at the end of the tunnel — when I saw that I was actually going to be able to finish it — I started the publication process right away, because I knew there were people who had been waiting really kindly and patiently, but also anxiously, for quite a while," Meyer said. 
 
The author added that the coronavirus pandemic also played an important part in her decision of releasing the book now. 
 
"It became quickly obvious that there wasn't a real end in sight with COVID.I am really excited when I have a book to read right now because there's not much else that's exciting. I hoped people would feel the same way."

'Twilight' author's new book 'Midnight Sun' debuts at no 1 spot on bestsellers list

We don’t want you to jump to conclusions so no this story is not what you think. Hollywood actress Anna Kendrick was an essential part of the first few ‘Twilight’ films as she starred with Kirsten Stewart as her good girl friend.&nbsp;

Speaking about her experience, Anna has revealed that filming it wasn’t a cakewalk as they shot in severe cold. Shooting for The Twilight Saga was tough as they filmed in Portland and it was very cold when they shot.

She said, “The first movie we filmed in Portland, Oregon, and I just remember being so cold and miserable. And I just remember my Converse being completely soaked through and feeling like, ‘You know, this is a really great group of people and I’m sure that we would be friends at a different time, but I want to murder everyone.”

She added, “Although, it was also kind of bonding. There was something about it, like if you go through some trauma event. Like you imagine people who survive a hostage situation, and you’re kind of bonded for life.”

Anna played the character of Jessica Stanley and was a part of the first three films from the franchise -- ‘Twilight’, ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ and ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1’ .

The Twilight Saga, based on Stephenie Meyer’s vampire novel series of the same name, was about a seventeen-year-old girl Isabella Swan (Kristen Stewart) who falls in love with Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson).

Hollywood star and heartthrob of many Robert Pattinson may be a well-known face but Pattinson had almost decided to quit acting in the initial few years.&nbsp; 
 
In a new interview, Pattinson has revealed that he nearly quit acting before he starred in 'Twilight' because his audition for the movie went so badly.

"It was the scene when (Edward) had a guitar ... my agent was like, `Take your guitar into the audition.` I just walked in and they were like, `Oh. You brought a guitar. Do you want to play us a song,` and I was like, `No. This is the worst decision I ever made`. I was saying no and they were like, `You just brought a guitar just to hold it? Why did you bring a guitar in?` My entire confidence just s**t the bed," Pattinson said in the podcast.&nbsp;

"The audition was one of the worst auditions I did in my whole life. I remember calling my parents and saying, `I`m done, I can`t torture myself anymore,` and the next day I got a `Twilight` audition."

Before 'Twilight', Pattinson shot to fame in the 'Harry Potter' and the actor says he loved the environment on set as it was "very friendly family" and everyone got along well.&nbsp;

"It was a really nice environment on 'Harry Potter'. Even compared to the movies I`ve done since then,&nbsp;it was very protective. The way the kids were treated ... In 'Harry Potter' they were at school and they were kind of doing work at the same time ... It felt like a very friendly family environment," said the actor.&nbsp;

There`s no doubt that Bella and Edward did share amazing chemistry in the vampire feature franchise `Twilight`, and as Kristen Stewart revisited her time with co-actor and ex Robert Pattinson, she revealed that their off-screen love wasn`t fake and just as real as on-screen. 
 
The 29-year old took a trip down the memory lane on The Howard Stern Show on Tuesday where she reflected upon her relationship with Pattinson saying that he was "the best."&nbsp; 
 
"We were together for years, that was my first (love)," People quoted Stewart as saying. 
 
The `Twilight` alum also admitted that she regrets how the two tried to keep themselves off any media and missed out on experiencing some candid romantic scenes. 
 
"You deprive yourself of so many experiences. We didn`t walk down the street holding hands because we were like, `We don`t wanna give it to `em.` But then, we didn`t get to walk down the street holding hands, and it sucked," she admitted. 
 
Stewart went on to confess to the host that there was "nothing I could do" when it came to falling head over heels for the co-actor. When the radio host asked Stewart whether she would`ve married Pattinson had he been on his knees, she didn`t answer in the negative. "I wanted to ... yeah. I don`t know, I`m not a super-duper traditionalist but at the same time ... every relationship I`ve ever been in, I thought that was it. I`ve never really been the most casual person," Stewart said. 
 
Back in 2016, Stewart had opened up about parting ways with Pattinson where she blamed tabloids for their breakup. The two first split in 2012 after a thing between Stewart and director Rupert Sanders hogged headlines but reconciled shortly after.&nbsp; 
 
However, the couple finally called it quits a year later in 2013. Stewart is currently dating screenwriter Dylan Meyer. On the work front, she is awaiting the release of `Charlie`s Angels` on November 15, where she will be seen sharing screen space with Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska. 
 
Meanwhile, Pattinson is prepping for his role in and as `The Batman`, the film will hit big screens on June 25, 2021.
