Josh (MTV): Obviously this book is written from the perspective of Kristen Stewart’s character, there are a lot of questions of, you know, will you diverge at all in this film, will there be scenes that aren’t necessarily from her point of view? Or is it entirely her POV this time?

Chris: It’s really from Bella’s POV, because I think that’s the most faithful to the book. Within that, um, we are very, very occasionally, sort of, checking in with other characters. But, um, what I wanted to keep was the reader’s sense of the book. Which is that they are entering the story, and staying in the story through Bella.

Josh: Can you give me an example of where it was necessary in your view to leave her for a moment?

Chris: Well, I mean when, Alice has a vision of Edward about to commit suicide, we see her vision and, to me that’s fair because you know, in the book Alice conveys that immediately to Bella and you can see Bella imagining what Alice is saying. Um, so I think that at points where a reader of the book might logically imagine a scenario it was okay for the filmmakers – me – to imagine seeing something that would be sort of outside of Bella’s knowledge.
