Pebbles Interviews Kellan Lutz
No, not Fred and Wilma’s daughter, Pebbles from Boston radio station Jam’n 94.5 was one lucky girl, especially since she is a Twilight fan!
“I have to say that I expected Kellan to be a nice guy, and he really exceeded my expectations. It was obviously exciting to hear about all the Twilight stuff, but it was also great to get to know a little more about him outside of his role as Emmett. All of the girls at the station (including me) were so impressed with all the charity work that he does. Just hearing him talk about his work in Africa and the things that he’s seen, show a side of him that we often aren’t exposed to. You can tell that he’s definitely had experiences that have changed and shaped him as a person.
I also loved how he talked about his family and friends. He called them his “loved ones,” and you can tell that he has a great group of people that he adores, and I’m sure they adore him back! Hearing him talk about his little sister getting him into Twilight, and how if he didn’t have the role, he knows he would be the one driving her to the movie was so sweet!
The thing that impressed me the most was how grateful he is for the experience of Twilight, and for the fans. Being in his position where he is chased and has women fainting at the sight of him could easily make him an arrogant person, but he is not. You can tell that he really appreciates all the love he gets from the fans, and I can’t wait to see him in action tonight when I host the Q & A session at the Natick Collection tonight at 7:30pm! I’ll have pics and video later tonight or early tomorrow.”

Access Hollywood Interviews: Cullens, Volturi, and more
Fansite Interview: Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, And Nikki Reed
About 10 different Twilight fansites had a phone interview with Kellan, Nikki, and Jackson. The questions are from the following websites: Twilight Examiner, Twilight Series Theories, Twilight Facebook, Twilight Moms, His Golden Eyes, Twilighters, Twilighters Anonymous, Twilight Superfan, Twilight Source/Imprint, Bella and Edward.
Q. How do you think, the questions are all ‘New Moon’ focused so I’m going to get right into it, how do you think Rosalie in ‘New Moon’ is going to be different from Rosalie in ‘Twilight’? Are we going to see more of Rosalie’s other side?
Nikki: The Cullens aren’t really in ‘New Moon’ as I’m sure you guys know because of the books and Chris Weitz making it very clear that we’re going to stick to the storyline. So, we’re not really in ‘New Moon’ all that much, but I did have an opportunity in the voting scene to show a different aspect of her personality, just because we were sort of setting up for ‘Eclipse’, because that’s really my opportunity to explore Rosalie as a character. So I guess, I guess in the voting scene, I worked really close with Chris to make sure that the speech that I give conveys exactly what I want it to. I don’t know if that answers your question, I’m sorry.
[No, no; yeah.]
Nikki: It’s been a long day. I think that when you have eight hundred pages in a book you have the time to explore each character, and so although Stephenie didn’t write one –dimensional characters, I mean all of our characters are very full and colorful; when you’re trying to execute that in a screenplay it can be really difficult because they have to focus on the love story between Bella and Edward. So in ‘Twilight’, you know, Rosalie was written, I guess the few opportunities I had to be on screen I was angry or bitchy and I don’t think that that’s what Rosalie is. So I’ve been trying my best to incorporate other aspects of her personality.
Q. Following up on what you said about incorporating the different aspects of her personality, where do you find your inspiration to portray a character that is in some senses somewhat of an unlikeable character, but she has that other you know, really human side to her? Where do you find your inspiration to bring out some of that from?
Nikki: I think, I guess years of exploring my own personality in terms of understanding that most of the time anger is actually just a way to hide insecurities or you know, fear or sadness. And so I knew, I knew immediately sort of where Rosalie was coming from and I also have two siblings that I’m very protective of, two brothers. So I guess it sort of stems from that.
Q: Can you tell me how much the atmosphere, the overall atmosphere and work style has changed from Catherine Hardwicke to Chris Weitz?
Kellan: I think they’re very much just different directors. And Catherine’s energy was very prominent and needed in a way to start the ‘Twilight’ franchise and get it off the ground. And with ‘New Moon’ it’s a different type of style in the book, which means the movie’s got to be a different style. And Chris was, had it all just prepared for us actors to step in there, he made us a packet of pages and papers on how he saw the scenes, and just really had everything organized. So when we had questions as actors he had the answers ready and it was very just in both cases just different. It was just such a well oiled machine with ‘New Moon’ and just very easy.
Q. What was your favorite scene to film in ‘New Moon’?
Jackson: I’ve got to say my favorite scene to film was in the trailer and you got to see a glimpse of it. And that wasn’t even quite the entire scene so hopefully you know, people are still going to be surprised by the scene of the birthday party whenever. In my mind it’s kind of the catalyst for the entire idea of ‘New Moon’, and the Cullens kind of getting out of Dodge, if you excuse my tongue there. It’s kind of the idea that you know, finally Bella is really having to face the idea of what it is to be in a relationship with a vampire and the downside of it you know, what happens when you get something as simple as a paper cut and how that can screw everything up. And suddenly the Cullens are gone and we take off in order to protect Bella and it’s one of those things where she doesn’t really feel protected, she feels abandoned, but luckily she’s got her good friend, Jacob Black, who starts to become a little bit more than just a good friend. You see that whole side of things, the wolf boys.

Twilight Cast In UK Glamour

“Ashley on soulmates: “Gosh, I hope so. I’m a strong believer in chemistry [too]. It has nothing to do with what you want, just how your chemicals react with each other.”
Jackson on love and lust: “Lust tastes like tequila and love tastes like whiskey. Love burns for longer and warms you up on the inside and sometimes it makes you do stupid things. Tequila just makes you wasted”

MTV Q & A With Jamie Campbell Bower, Kellan Lutz, and Billy Burke
“Kellan Lutz
Q: We know there will be more Edward in the “New Moon” movie than there was in the book, but did you and the other Cullens ever try to lobby for more screen time as well?
Lutz: I think I really tried to. I tried to throw in my two cents, to see if Emmett and Rosalie could have a honeymoon again in Italy so we could be around and be part of the whole situation of Edward, Alice and Bella. [But the script] has to really follow the book, because the fans are so die-hard about what happened in the book. I mean, I had a line that was in the [“Twilight”] trailers that wasn’t in the book, and I heard some of the fans saying, “That’s not in the book!” Like, “What the heck is up with that?” So, in “New Moon,” the script is very similar to the book and the Cullens are in where they would be in, and they aren’t put in anywhere else.
MTV: It would be kind of cheesy if Edward and Bella just happened to bump into the Cullens in Italy.
Lutz: [Laughs.] Well, I thought it would be a fun idea. Because my character, as well as Nikki Reed’s Rosalie, we go away to college. We’re a year older, along with Jasper and Alice, so I think it could be a cool thing to maybe show a clip of them somewhere — a fun honeymoon, away from the rest of the family. But, no.”

“We were just making a little independent film in Portland,” says Nikki Reed of the movie that changed her life. “I don’t know what happened.”
What happened is that Twilight exploded from a book beloved by teenage girls to become one of the cultural phenomenons of a decade.
The film grossed nearly $400 worldwide and made tabloid staples of stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, and, increasingly, the rest of the cast too.
Reed, who plays vampire Rosalie Hale, shakes her head increedulously: “We’ve lived this entire year in shock.”

Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene: Halloween in Vegas
According to Access Hollywood, Ashley and Kellan had a great time hosting a Halloween party in Las Vegas. Ashley was a peacock and Kellan was on the superhero theme. When asked about New Moon, Ashley said,
“The wolves are funny,” she said. “They’re a threat and a danger to our family but they’re also protecting this person that we all love — so we kind of have to get along with them.”
“Edward kind of breaks Bella’s heart, so you definitely see Jacob kind of swoop in to rescue her,” Ashley said. “You get to see their chemistry and dynamic. It keeps you on the edge of your seat a little bit more than the first one… this one is kind of more about heartbreak and healing.”
