Jennifer Lawrence on Working With Robert Pattinson in “Die My Love”
Jennifer Lawrence reflected on her experience collaborating with Robert Pattinson in the new film “Die My Love,” joking that it feels like long-awaited revenge after being rejected for the role of Bella Swan in the “Twilight” series years ago.
“Yeah, it’s the total revenge that I’ve wanted,”
she told Variety at the New York premiere of the film.
From Missed Opportunity to On-Screen Partnership
Lawrence once auditioned for “Twilight” but said the studio turned her down immediately and never called her back. Fifteen years later, the actress finally shares the screen with Pattinson in director Lynne Ramsay’s intense psychodrama “Die My Love,” produced by Mubi.
The Film and Their Dynamic
“Die My Love” marks Ramsay’s first feature since the 2017 film “You Were Never Really Here.” It follows Lawrence as a writer whose mental state begins to unravel amid a troubled marriage and the strains of motherhood. On screen, Lawrence and Pattinson exchange fierce verbal battles, though their real-life working relationship was more subdued.
“My favorite part of working with him was probably that we could be in the same room, but not talk for a really long time. I really appreciate that in a coworker,”
Lawrence said with a laugh.
Pattinson’s First Impression
Pattinson shared that the first movie he saw Lawrence in was the 2010 drama “Winter’s Bone,” where she played a determined teenager searching for her missing father in the Ozarks.
