Robert Pattinson addressed critiques of the "Twilight" saga, stating that it's unreasonable to blame the films for ruining the vampire genre nearly 20 years later. The franchise, which launched Pattinson and others to fame and grossed $3.3 billion, was initially envisioned by him to have a darker, more artistic tone. However, studio executives were hesitant about this vision. Pattinson recounted how he faced pressure from his management to adjust his portrayal of Edward Cullen, reflecting on the creative tensions on set.
I love that people keep telling me, 'Man, "Twilight" ruined the vampire genre,'... How can you be sad about something that happened almost 20 years ago?
I wanted to make it as arty as possible... We had this strange tension where the studio was scared to make things a little bit too emo and stuff.
