Yes, Anna Kendrick was in Twilight. She played the role of Jessica Stanley in the movie and appears in four of the Twilight Saga movies: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn - Part 1.

The Twilight Saga comprises a collection of romance fantasy films adapted from Stephenie Meyer's book series, Twilight. This film series's global box office earnings have surpassed $3.4 billion. The journey to bring these movies to life began back in 2004 at Paramount Pictures' MTV Films, where initial attempts were made to create a screenplay for Twilight deviating significantly from the original novel.

Subsequently, Summit Entertainment took over the film rights three years later. The tremendous success of Twilight, grossing $35.7 million on its opening day, prompted Summit Entertainment to greenlight the production of New Moon, with rights to the remaining novels secured during the same period.

Despite their commercial success, the films in The Twilight Saga have elicited a range of critical responses, predominantly falling within the negative to mixed review spectrum.

Anna Kendrick played the character of Jessica Stanley in Twilight. Jessica Stanley is portrayed as a minor character and a close friend of Bella's in the Twilight series. Known for her talkative nature, Jessica divulges some information about the enigmatic Cullens to Bella. She possesses curly, dark brown hair and captivating blue eyes.

Although she outwardly appears friendly towards Bella, her true feelings are quite different, as she harbors resentment towards Bella due to the affections of both Edward and Mike Newton being directed at Bella instead of her. This jealousy makes Jessica act insincerely, resulting in a rather disingenuous friendship. Additionally, she harbors a crush on Mike.

In New Moon, their friendship suffers a setback as Bella's depression over Edward's departure strains their bond. Moreover, an incident where Bella approaches a group of unfamiliar men during one of their outings further deepens their rift. Jessica drifts away from Bella and aligns herself with Lauren, turning into one of Bella's adversaries.

However, their relationship takes a positive turn during their high school graduation. Jessica eventually attends Bella's wedding in Breaking Dawn, marking a significant event where they part on more amicable terms.
