Hollywood.Com Jamie Campbell Bower Interview

July 17, 2009

Jamie Campbell Bower also spoke with Hollywood.com during their set visit:

“Your character, Caius, wants Bella dead the most. How much of that will we see in the film?
Jamie Campbell Bower: As in the book, the Volturri play a small but necessary part in this film. They come much more into play in the fourth film. I’m playing Caius very angry and agitated with the world, I suppose. Just glaring looks. You’ll see as much as you read in the books.

Do you think Caius is agitated because he’s the only vampire of the three who doesn’t have a power?
JCB: He doesn’t have a power! He’s just pissed off about that! He’s so angry! He doesn’t like Bella because he can’t eat her. He’s not happy about that. Why is she there if he can’t eat her? What’s the point?”

Hollywood.com Meilssa Rosenberg Interview

July 17, 2009

OK, pulling Melissa’s bit out of the timeline:

Here’s a bit from the not yet seen Melissa Rosenberg interview:

“MR: I’m really enjoying writing Jacob. Jacob’s a great deal of fun to write. Charlie. Particularly writing for that actor Billy Burke. Charlie is someone — Billy Burke is someone — who you just can give a line to, you can give him a deep emotional line or a funny one-liner, and that guy can deliver anything and always brings something new to it. Of course, I love writing the relationship between Bella and Edward — it’s really important.

The biggest challenge:
MR: The biggest challenge is the Bella/Edward, because you’re always writing a line between real intimacy and what’s true versus overly maudlin or melodrama. True romance and true drama — that’s always the line.”

Hollywood.com Rachelle Lefevre Interview

July 17, 2009

Ok to make this easier, we are breaking the individual interview out of the Hollywood.com timeline, or people are just going to go nuts trying to find things months from now when they want to look back.  So here’s a Rachelle teaser:

“RL: I spent six hours in a pool doing the underwater stuff. They did a really interesting thing where they did this amazing stunt with the bit where Bella gets caught in the tidal wave … I think it must have been 2,000 gallons of water in massive — they looked like huge, rectangular cargo containers you put on the back of trains.

First, they did it with a stunt double, and then they did it with Kristen’s photo double, and then they literally, on action, pulled the hatch and she got pummeled with a massive tidal wave and you could watch underwater, which I did because I was in the pool, or you could watch in the monitor. You could literally see her spinning, they created a tidal wave, and they literally filmed until she got spit out. And when it spit her out, the cut was over.”

Hollywood.Com Set Visit Timeline

July 17, 2009

Hollywood.com has a timeline detailing what their set visit was like. (Sneak peak hint, a timeline is the exact style that the Lexicon’s report is done in for our set visit and you will be getting that info really soon). She has everything from arrival impressions, to a not yet seen interview with Melissa Rosenberg listed. Interspersed within the timeline are the previously seen interviews with Michael Sheen, Taylor Lautner, and Wyck Godfrey. So, now you get a sense of what order and context they happened in.  Here’s a bit from the not yet seen Melissa Rosenberg interview:

“MR: I’m really enjoying writing Jacob. Jacob’s a great deal of fun to write. Charlie. Particularly writing for that actor Billy Burke. Charlie is someone — Billy Burke is someone — who you just can give a line to, you can give him a deep emotional line or a funny one-liner, and that guy can deliver anything and always brings something new to it. Of course, I love writing the relationship between Bella and Edward — it’s really important.

The biggest challenge:
MR: The biggest challenge is the Bella/Edward, because you’re always writing a line between real intimacy and what’s true versus overly maudlin or melodrama. True romance and true drama — that’s always the line.”

EDITED: Because this whole set up is really kind of overwhelming in its presentation, we are breaking it up into segments that are easier to find.

Taylor Lautner Interview

July 17, 2009

Taylor Lautner talked with Hit Fix, Rotten Tomatoes, Hollywood.com, and MSN about being Jacob Black:

“Q: Considering how moody Jacob gets in ‘New Moon’ – toying with Bella’s emotions – do you feel bad at all?

I don’t feel bad one bit; I feel bad for myself! (Laughs.) No, when I was reading the books, I felt so bad for Jacob’s character. But now that I’m actually living him, I feel way worse. Bella’s toying with Jacob! I don’t care if she’s ripped between the two guys, I feel so bad for Jacob, because she confused him; one moment, she’ll want to kiss him, and the next moment, she’s ditching him for Edward. I mean, yeah, I understand where Bella’s coming from, and it’s a crappy situation for all of them. But I feel really bad for Jacob.

Q: A lot of fans are looking forward to the scene in ‘Eclipse’ where Jacob and Bella finally have the kiss.

Yes, so am I.”

We have the sinking feeling that based on that last answer which we think was tongue-in-cheek, that Taysten, or Krislaw, Lautstew…or whatever the usuals will call it is going to start.

Producer Wyck Godfrey Interview

July 17, 2009

Producer Wyck Godfrey was also interviewed by the four entertainment sites invited for a set visit in May about a week after we were there. We’ve met Wyck ourselves on more than one occasion and he talks a lot. We mean that in a good way, he gives out lots of information and is interesting. he’s not a yes and no answer kind of guy. Here’s the highlights of what he covered:

* Why the production shot in Montepulciano vs. Volterra, Italy
* On whether the cast members are all locked into four picture deals.
* On actors and directors campaigning to be part of the new films.
* Will there be celebrity cameos in “New Moon”?
* On casting Dakota Fanning as Jane.
* Quantifying original writer Stephenie Meyer’s involvement in the movie franchise.
* On why David Slade was chosen to direct “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.”
* The difficulties of adapting “Breaking Dawn” to the big screen.

Michael Sheen Interview

July 17, 2009

Hit Fix, Rotten Tomatoes, Hollywood.com and MSN Twilight Fan all hit the New Moon set the same day, and they are now filing their reports:

“I love the thing in the books that Stephenie [Meyer] wrote about how these vampires are all – well, the Cullen family – really beautiful, and that’s what lures people into their web,” Sheen admits. “And yet, Aro is not like that. She describes Aro as being not the same sort of thing. I like the idea that it’s his voice that lulls people in or his sort of demeanor rather than the way he looks, because he looks quite weird and scary. But yes, I’ve tried to go down that route [to]make him very mesmerizing to people, that his voice is gentle and soft. And yet, there’s something kind of unhinged about him.”

Jimmy Fallon Does Robert Pattinson Impersonation

July 17, 2009

After hinting that he was up to something early in the day on Thursday by tweeting a picture of himself as Edward Cullen in the iconic tree pose, Jimmy Fallon didn’t disappoint on his late night show. For those of you unfamiliar with Jimmy Fallon’s act, it’s more rough-edge than Leno, Conan, or Letterman so use your judgment when clicking if that type of material isn’t your thing.

Eclipse Casting Rumor

July 17, 2009

Hard to say where this started first. The posting looks almost simultaneous.

The Hollywood Reporter

The West Australia News

Long and short of it: too early for official comment on the studio or actor’s part. This kind of thing genreally not confirmed until ink is way dry on contract. If you’re a huge name like a Brad Pitt you might comment early, but not a relative unknown. Our gut instinct leans yes because THR tends to get it right moreso than they get it wrong.  Bottom line remains to be seen.

Ashley Greene Pitches on Alexa Chung

July 17, 2009

It seems like at every fan convention someone asks Ashley Greene if she can demonstrate the Twilight movie pitch. In the past Ashley has turned down the request because she’s either been in a dress or really tight pants that she was afraid of splitting. Well, finally on Alexa Chung, Ashley was in a pair of shorts, and she demonstrated using what we think are Nerf balls. She wasn’t bad considering the shorts were leather and she was wearing at least three-inch heels.
Not sure why embed code from MTV not working. The video is clearly there on the site and have tried twice(grrrr!). Direct link http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/410657/ashley-greene-on-being-a-cullen.jhtml#id=1614005
