Jennifer Lawrence Jokes Working With Robert Pattinson in ‘Die My Love’ Feels Like ‘Total Revenge’ After Failed ‘Twilight’ Audition

Jennifer Lawrence Jokes About Working with Robert Pattinson as ‘Total Revenge’

Jennifer Lawrence humorously described teaming up with Robert Pattinson in Die My Love as “total revenge” following her unsuccessful audition for the Twilight series. Originally, Lawrence was considered to play Bella Swan opposite Pattinson’s Edward Cullen, but she revealed on The Rewatchables podcast in 2023 that the studio rejected her immediately without a callback.

From Missed Opportunities to Shared Screen Time

Fifteen years and two major film franchises later, Lawrence and Pattinson finally co-star in the intense psychodrama Die My Love, distributed by Mubi. Lawrence joked to Variety at the New York premiere:

“Yeah, it’s the total revenge that I’ve wanted.”

About Die My Love

Directed by Lynne Ramsay, Die My Love is her first feature since You Were Never Really Here (2017). The film follows Lawrence as a writer whose mental stability deteriorates amid a turbulent marriage and the demands of motherhood.

On-Set Dynamics Between Lawrence and Pattinson

On screen, their characters engage in frequent verbal clashes, but off screen, their relationship was notably calm. Lawrence said:

“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.”

In turn, Pattinson recalled his first encounter with Lawrence’s work through the 2010 drama Winter’s Bone, where she portrayed a struggling teenager searching for her father in the Ozarks.

Summary

Jennifer Lawrence’s collaboration with Robert Pattinson in Die My Love serves as a playful comeback after her early rejection from Twilight, highlighting their respectful and low-key professional rapport despite intense on-screen conflict.
