Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence are in talks to star in a new thriller titled Die, My Love. If both celebrated actors sign on for the project, it would mark the first time in either of their acting careers that they would share a screen together in a feature film. Die, My Love will be directed by Lynne Ramsay, known for her previous directorial work on Joaquin Phoenix’s chilling 2017 thriller You Were Never Really Here and the equally unnerving 2011 psychological thriller We Need to Talk About Kevin starring Tilda Swinton as the concerned mother of a strange teen named Kevin, played by Ezra Miller.

Per Variety, Jennifer Lawrence auditioned for the lead role of Bella Swan, which would eventually be given to Kristen Stewart, and received a swift rejection. “They turned me down immediately. I didn’t even get a callback. But my life would’ve been totally different. I got ‘Hunger Games’ I think, like, a year later. It was probably after ‘Winter’s Bone.‘” While Lawrence starring as Bella Swan would have completely changed the Twilight series and quite possibly the popular movie series as a whole, Lawrence confirms she was never really in the conversation.

With Pattinson starring as Edward Cullen, which launched him into international superstardom, there was once a slight chance that he and Lawrence would have appeared in a film together much sooner than Die, My Love. The complicated off-screen relationship between Pattinson and Stewart, combined with the now-iconic impact that the Twilight films had on pop culture of the 2010s, makes it nearly unfathomable to picture Lawrence in that franchise. Lawrence added, “I was still in a franchise, so I was still trying to counteract the franchise-ness. I’d still be doing that if I was in ‘Twilight.’ But I almost didn’t do ‘Hunger Games’ because ‘Twilight’ had come out and that fandom had happened.”
