It has been over a decade since Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's Twilight released. While the movie became a rage, Anna Kendrick did not have the best of time. The actress is opening up about her experience of working on the first Twilight movie. For those who might have forgotten, the Pitch Perfect star played Jessica in the series. Years after the franchise ended, Anna recalling filming for the first flick and said it was a "miserable" experience due to the filming conditions. 

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Anna remembered the experience as "being so cold and miserable". She also joked about wanting to "murder everyone" because of the whole experience. The Twilight team was filming in Portland, Oregon. "I just remember my converse being completely soaked through, and feeling like you know this is a really good group of people and I'm sure that we would be friends at a different time, but I want to murder everyone," she laughed, explaining her experience. 

But the experience brought the cast closer. "Although it was also kind of bonding. There was like something about it like you go through some trauma event like you imagine people who survive like a hostage situation, and you're kind of bonded for life," she added. 

Anna also shared her thoughts on the graduation speech Jessica delivered in the third Twilight movie, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010), and credited Kristen for helping her with the performance. "I swear to God the thing that is happening is that you’re looking at Kristen Stewart's reaction to that speech and that’s what is moving you. People are like, 'That speech is so amazing,' and I’m like, 'No, that’s her, she’s great,'" the actress said.

I started off reading the book series because my 13-year-old daughter wanted to read it. I'm a middle-aged woman, and I loved the book. I also enjoyed all four movies because it was different, an escape from the norm. Anna K is entitled to her opinion. Personally, I thought she did a great job. The goal was to bring the character to life and she accomplished that. Someday, she might come to terms with her experience and recognize the accomplishments of this film. Just my opinion. ☺

Have any of you ever been on film set??? Sometimes you work 18 hours straight where most of the time your sitting around waiting for the scene to be set up. With that being her first big role she probably only got paid scale which would be a few thousand dollars if that. So imagine sitting around in the cold, rainy conditions for hours and hours , she probably didn't have her own trailer either so before you bad mouth someone make sure you know what it's really like. Yes, that film got her other roles but at the time of her shooting she was an unknown. I'm sure she's grateful but can still complain that it was a tough shoot.

She's an incredibly sweet person and was only responding to a question. She's far from "complaining" about her career.

Actors and film crew put themselves through hell a lot of the time to make beloved films. Anyone trolling them is heartless and ungrateful. You trolls are just another farmer milking a dry cow until it bleeds.
