Claire Denis directs Robert Pattinson in her new space drama “High Life,” but would the celebrated French filmmaker also be interested in working with his former “Twilight” leading lady Kristen Stewart? It sounds likely, as Denis admits to being a huge fan of both actors since their days starring in the blockbuster vampire franchise (via Deadline). Denis calls their work as Edward and Bella “heroic.”

“I think he is a great young man and a wonderful young actor,” Denis said. “He is intelligent, poetic, he is like a knight to me. I saw the four parts of the ‘Twilight’ series when it was released. I was amazed by the two heroic young leads.”

Pattinson stars as a criminal sent on an outer space mission in Denis’ “High Life,” which was world premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival. The movie is Denis’ first English-language effort and she told Deadline she originally feared Pattinson was too young for the part. The actor’s intelligence helped changed her mind. Denis said actors like Pattinson and prison films are the big influences behind the space film.

Denis was in U.S. theaters earlier this year with her Juliette Binoche-starring “Let the Sunshine In.”

Claire Denis reveals that she I has a project around the Mediterranean Sea. In a recent interview with Deadline she said that she would like to work with Robert Pattinson again ”It’s like a dark spot in my mind these days. I’d also like to work again with Robert. Once wasn’t enough. I have a couple of movies I’m thinking about …”
