OlderKellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone & Edi Gathegi Celebrate 10 Years of 'Twilight' at NYCC
Can you believe that it’s been 10 YEARS since Twilight was first released in theaters?! We feel so old!
To mark the anniversary this weekend, stars Jackson Rathbone, Kellan Lutz, and Edi Gathegi reunited at 2018 New York Comic Con over the weekend, along with director Catherine Hardwicke, to reflect on their experience.
“It’s been interesting looking back 10 years ago at the first Twilight movie coming out because this was before Facebook became the monolith it is, before Twitter and Instagram even existed,” Jackson said (via EW).
He continued, “This was a film that captured so many people before social media and connected them across the world. The amount of people I’ve met who have been like, ‘Oh because of this series and fandom I was able to meet my best friend, even though we lived in different countries.’ I’ve heard stories from mothers and daughters who said they really connected over these books and films.”
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson sent recorded messages to the audience during the panel, thanking fans for all they’ve given the franchise throughout the years
“I feel like we all kind of grew up together…,” Kristen said. “I love you guys; I’m totally there in spirit.”
