Anna Kendrick had some thoughts upon learning that a Twilight TV show is in the works.
If you forgot, the 38-year-old Pitch Perfect star played Jessica Stanley, a supporting role in the mega-successful film franchise starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.
Back in April 2023, it was confirmed that Lionsgate was working on turning the franchise into a new TV series.

“I had a great time because I was the person going, ‘This is so weird.’ Like why is everybody acting so weird around here, and it’s like cuz their doing battle with their immortal souls. I loved doing it,” she said.
How about coming back for the new series? “Let’s not do this now,” she teased in
