Actress Anna Kendrick is spilling some serious tea about being part of the mega-hit Twilight film franchise. Not only was she sure sheād never get cast in the original film, when she did she was absolutely miserable. Anna made the comments while discussing her career with Vanity Fair in a new video. The 34-year-old said her experience filming the original 2008 Twilight movie was like a traumatic ābonding eventā among the cast, similar to āpeople who survive a hostage situation.ā Though it seemed that the on-set weather in rainy Oregon played a major factor in her feelings. You can check out Annaās comments at the 3:04 mark in the above video.
āThe first movie we filmed in Portland, Oregon, and I just remember being so cold and miserable,ā Anna revealed. āAnd I just remember my Converse being completely soaked through and feeling like, āYou know, this is a really great group of people and Iām sure that we would be friends at a different time, but I want to murder everyone,'ā she snarked.
āAlthough, 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 youāre kind of bonded for life,ā Anna laughed, adding her trademark sense of humor. She played Jessica Stanley in the franchise, the best friend to Kristen Stewartās lead character of Bella.
Fortunately, the rest of Annaās Twilight experiences werenāt so traumatic. āThe second movie, for whatever reason the weather wasnāt quite as intense and I think thatās sort of where we all got to know each other a little bit better,ā Anna said of her cast-mates. She then joked that the films āAll sort of blended into one at some point, because my whole job was to just go, like, āThis family of very pale people who we never see eating. Theyāre really weird, right?'ā
Anna then dished about her appearance in the final Twilight film, although she actually first referenced the third movie, Breaking Dawn Part 1 (she wasnāt kidding about the movies blending into one for her). āI was in the fourth movie. It was a wedding scene. Again Iām like āThese people are so weird,'ā she laughed.
Anna added about the actual finale, Breaking Dawn Part 2, āYouāre in like half-frozen mud in what was the final scene of filming for everybody. I get to come in and work for a week or two and everybody else has been giving their blood, sweat and tears to the project for months. I show up at the end and Iām like āGuys, we did it! Its over!'ā Anna said, raising her hands in the air in triumph. Anna has since gone on to star in the Pitch Perfect franchise and provided a lead voice in the two Trolls animated films.
