Anna Kendrick recalls ‘Twilight’ shoot being ‘cold and miserable’

Anna Kendrick appeared in four of the five Twilight films between 2008 and 2011 and although she was part of one of the biggest film franchises in history, her memories of time spent filming on location aren’t great. Vampires may enjoy overcast and rainy climates that hide their sparkly skin, but some members of the undead would prefer a warm beach.Kendrick spoke to Vanity Fair this month and broke down her biggest roles. Remembering (she does remember) her time spent playing Jessica, friend to Kristen Stewart’s Bella, Kendrick said that filming Twilight in Portland, Oregon had its drawbacks. She ‘Twihard’ to enjoy it, but no one likes wet shoes. We don’t get many chances to make Twilight jokes in 2020, so please indulge us."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," Kendrick recalled.The actor, who is currently starring in the new rom com series Love Life on Crave, admitted there was one upside to the wet conditions. “It was also kind of bonding. There was something about it—like you go through some trauma event. Like you imagine people who survive a hostage situation and you’re kind of bonded for life." Kendrick said that things did improve when filming New Moon, because obviously she’s Team Jacob. Oh yeah, we’re still going. “The second movie, for whatever reason, the weather wasn’t quite as intense. That’s where we all got to know each other a little bit better.”The five Twilight films were shot over a three-year period and Kendrick admitted it became difficult to differentiate the installments. “They all start to blend into one at some point because my whole job was to just to go, ‘This whole family of very pale people who we never see eating—they’re really weird, right? Anyway…’” joked Kendrick.
