Taylor Lautner Live Blog Breaking Dawn Part 1 Press Conference

Taylor on soundtrack music: It stresses him out when people ask what’s on his iPod. He shifts from techno to hip hop. He won’t answer with any specifics.

Being Jacob with more maturity was exciting. He becomes a man in the film. He has to make so many decisions and is torn between the two families. This is the most challenging to film. He couldn’t have done it without Bill Condon’s help.

Imprint scene tough. He asked Steph a million questions like, “What do you look like when you imprint?” He had to look at an X and the wall. There was no Renesmee to look at.

Reading the fourth book, he was like WOW wait and now he gets the kid. It took a second to get it. It’s not romantic imprinting. That was important to him. At this stage it is total friendship.

His mind doesn’t register complaints. As long as the fans are happy, he is happy.

He’s become close with Edi Gethegi and he’s still close with him.

Craziest fan encounter: so tough to choose one. Tattoo of his face and signature is always mind blowing.

He’s happy to take a little break now. The Gus Van Saant thing is very early stages and is very premature to say too much.

He loves Jacob and looks up to his good qualities especially loyalty and persistence

Is he worried about being typecast?  No. He won’t do something just to do it. It has to be a special project. In one sense, it’s a compliment to be typecast because then you have done your job so well that people believe you as that character.

Scene of wolf telepathy was hard to be so CGI letting voice over do it. They also used their mannerism into the CGI.

He never felt with Bill Condon that he had to argue to say, “Jacob wouldn’t do this.”  They would have discussions but it was never an argument. Sometimes Bill would make suggestions he hadn’t thought of and he respected them. It was a two way collaborative street.

Taylor related most to the desire to want something you can’t have and want it badly. He’s been there.

Last scene he filmed was the dance with Bella at the wedding. It was very emotional. It was a special moment and one for the memory box.
