Within the 2010s, Robert Pattinson was identified for starring in the Twilight motion pictures whereas Jennifer Lawrence earned huge fame for being in the Starvation Video games movies. Actually these two would have so much to speak about in the event that they ever received collectively, proper? Nicely, because it seems, the actors have already had quite a few conversations on the set of their film Die, My Love. That’s proper, I simply realized these two are set to be co-stars in one of many upcoming 2025 motion pictures. As a longtime fan of each of their careers, I can’t cease fascinated with how they had been nearly co-stars years in the past.
Jennifer Lawrence And Robert Pattinson Will Play A Married Couple In Upcoming Film
Earlier than I get into their Twilight connection, if that is your first time listening to about Die, My Love, absolutely you might be questioning about it, too. The film starring J-Regulation and R-Patz is a thriller that can have Lawrence taking part in a mom residing in rural America who’s struggling to handle her sanity as she offers with psychosis. Within the film, Pattinson will play her husband, and the couple is dealing with their disintegrating marriage. Additionally within the combine is LaKeith Stanfield, who will play the lover of Lawrence’s character. You may try the primary pictures of the film on X (through DiscussingFilm).
Die, My Love is predicated on the 2017 novel of the identical identify by Ariana Harwicz, and I feel might have some actual award potential contemplating author/director Lynne Ramsay has helmed it. Ramsay has been a part of some acclaimed motion pictures already, between 2011’s We Want To Speak About Kevin and 2017’s You Have been By no means Actually Right here. I wouldn’t be stunned if J-Regulation was up for her fifth Academy Award nomination, and who is aware of, perhaps Pattinson will lastly get a nod after his unimaginable efficiency in Good Time was snubbed.
That Time J-Regulation Auditioned For Twilight And Nearly Skipped Starvation Video games As a result of Of It
I feel Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson are extremely proficient, and I’m all for his or her post-YA careers, with the each of them having their names on quite a few upcoming A24 motion pictures. (Plus, it’s wild that they’re each mother and father now, as Pattinson grew to become a dad this 12 months.) However with them being in the identical film formally, it’s enjoyable to recollect how Lawrence was nearly Bella. As she mentioned in a 2023 episode of The Rewatchables podcast (per Selection):
I auditioned for Twilight. They turned me down instantly. I didn’t even get a callback. However my life would’ve been completely totally different. I received Starvation Video games. I feel, like, a 12 months later. It was in all probability after Winter’s Bone.
OK, so perhaps “nearly” is a powerful phrase, nevertheless it’s wild how the actors nearly crossed paths in a giant approach over 15 years. Fortunate she didn’t get the half both, as a result of she would have doubtless needed to move on the Starvation Video games motion pictures. That mentioned, by the point she was about to play Katniss, she mentioned that the craze round these motion pictures nearly talked her out of it. In her phrases:
I used to be nonetheless in a franchise, so I used to be nonetheless making an attempt to counteract the franchise-ness. I’d nonetheless be doing that if I used to be in ‘Twilight.’ However I nearly didn’t do Starvation Video games as a result of Twilight had come out and that fandom had occurred.
There’s no launch date but for Die, My Love, nevertheless it’ll be a blast to see these actors collectively in it. You may see Robert Pattinson subsequent in Bong Joon-Ho’s Mickey 17, hitting theaters on April 18.
