Anna Kendrick sticks up for 'Twilight' fans

It's always nice to hear Twilight series castmembers stick up for the Saga's fans (who support them so - especially when it comes to their outside projects), and the latest actress to do so is Anna Kendrick ("Jessica Stanley" in the series).  
According to the Wall Street Journal, "Kendrick bristled at the notion that 'Twilight' fans, or 'Twihards,' are a little overboard. 'People like to make fun of the fans who camp out but people have renaissance faires; people do Civil War reenactments; people do what they like,' Kendrick said. 'I’m tired of hearing people rag on the fans. If you don’t like ‘Twilight,’ don’t buy a ticket.'"

Anna Kendrick has been busy these last few weeks promoting her movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, and director Edgar Wright talked to Entertainment Weekly about the fact that Kendrick was cast long before she became a part of the Twilight phenomenon.
"Some of it is just luck, I guess . . .but also I feel like, in every part, I got the best person for the job. A lot of these people have been cast in it for a long time. Anna Kendrick did her first audition for it before she shot the first Twilight," he explained.
EW also revealed another interesting tidbit: that two of the contributors for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse's official motion picture soundtrack, Metric ("Eclipse (All Yours") and Beck (with Bat for Lashes, "Let's Get Lost"), have also added songs to Scott Pilgrim's OST.
According to Gigwise, Metric's song for the album is "Black Sheep," and lead singer Emily Haines (who Twilight fans have gotten to know quite well through her Eclipse OST-related press) said that being a part of these two albums has made "this year [full of] really amazing for moments."
