Kristen Stewart and her dad act like she was forced at gunpoint to be in these movies.
Seriously, Stewart family, what did you think the movie was going to be like? I actually think Hardwicke did a great job with what she was given.

Oh I totally get the idea that Taylor thinks that New Moon is going to be all about him and Bella - Edward will be a mere walk-on role and it'll rocket him to superstardom and masses of screaming fangirls. Aint gonna happen.

I actually think Hardwicke did a great job with what she was given. I will cut Stewart some slack here because first, it was her dad speaking and not her, and two, although stated badly, I think what he really meant was that she'll come to the Oscars when she has a reason to be there (ie. nominated or in a nominated film), which is a stance that many actors have taken.

The impression I've always gotten is that both Pattinson and Stewart thought they were signing up for some quasi-indie love story directed by Hardwicke. I think the huge Twihard cult didn't crop up until after they signed.

I didn't think the father's statement was that bad. I got what he was saying. It was somewhat poorly worded but, yeah, you don't associate a movie like Twilight with the Oscars. The correlation between the two just doesn't jump out at you. When he said "great" I thought he meant to imply "deep" (what Oscar movies pride themselves on being), not necessarily that Twilight was horrible in and of itself.

If they'd even bothered to pick up the book beforehand they'd have realized this wasn't the case. Wouldn't they also have had a script to look at? I understand not anticipating the batshit crazy fans, but I don't see how they could have thought this story was good.

I understand not anticipating the batshit crazy fans, but I don't see how they could have thought this story was good. As I said earlier, I think the director was the draw, not the script. They probably thought the script sucked, but it was a chance to work with Catherine Hardwicke. If I were an actor and a director I liked/admired/whatever offered me a role, I'd probably take it even if I thought the script sucked, just to be able to learn from them/be in their august presence/drool/whatever else drew me to the director. Actors don't always make their decisions on quality: as Michael Caine said about Jaws: The Revenge, "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."

And Pattinson especially wasn't in a position to be choosy about roles. He'd been doing mostly tv movies for the BBC. So I can see why for him, Hardwicke and Stewart (who was coming off of Into the Wild) would be a big incentive to signing on for the role.

Yeah, both Pattinson and Stewart have made it clear that Hardwicke was the driving force for their decision to sign on. I just have a problem with Kristen's moaning about the cheesiness of the lines.
