Anna Kendrick tells Twilight haters 'don't buy a ticket'

Twilight star Anna Kendrick has said if people don't like the movie then they shouldn't buy a ticket to see it.

The 25-year-old actress, who also starred opposite George Clooney in Up In The Air, plays Bella's school pal Jessica Stanley in the hit movie series.

Kendrick said she appreciates the passionate fans but also had a message for the film's haters.

She told Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy: "People like to make fun of the fans who camp out but people have renaissance fairies; people do Civil War re-enactments; people do what they like.

"I'm tired of hearing people rage on the fans. If you don't like Twilight, don't buy a ticket."

The actress added that she is glad she doesn't have the same media attention Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have.

She said: "I just feel really lucky to be in it but not have my privacy completely compromised by it. I'm glad that the paparazzi haven't followed me every day this year. I do not wish to be in that position."
