Interview with Justine Wachsberger

Dreadcentral.com has a new interview with Justine Wachsberger, who plays Gianna (the Volturi's human secretary who hopes to be turned into a vampire) in New Moon. Excerpt:

“I actually liked the books but wasn’t a crazy fan of Twilight when I got the role of Gianna,” explained Wachsberger. “I just knew though that I would be lucky to be part of such a huge franchise because I know what these stories mean to the fans.”

Wachsberger added, “Gianna was a really interesting character to portray for me. She’s human and has a lot going for her but decides to work for the vampires. You don’t really know much about her motivations and that adds a lot of mystery to her, which I really loved.”

Fandango's Interview With Jamie Campbell Bower

During their New Moon set visit in May (I think), Fandango interviewed Jamie Campbell Bower:

In a bleach blond wig offset with stylish, dark attire, British actor Jamie Campbell Bower stands outside the sound studio on the Vancouver set of New Moon, having a cigarette break and waiting to be called in to shoot.

Q. How come you're not wearing your vampire red contacts right now?
Campbell Bower: They hurt. They don't hurt so much as make me feel a bit sick because my peripheral vision is very much impaired when I have them in.

Q. How would you describe Caius' look?
Campbell Bower: I had a discussion with (costume designer) Tish (Monaghan), and we figured out that Caius probably doesn't get to go out that much, so… he just steals his clothes from previous victims. The style is nice and smart and sleek and slim and – yeah, I like it. It's very Italian, and I like the shoes, particularly.

Xavier Samuel Interview

AdelaideNow has a short interview with Xavier Samuel, who will play Riley in Eclipse. Excerpt:

"I was up against some truly great actors who I'm privileged to be considered among,'' he said from Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles where he was celebrating last night.
"It's a fantastic opportunity.''

Xavier explains he'd put together his audition tape in Sydney just three weeks ago, and flew to LA last Thursday.
"It all happened in less than a month!''

Hot 30 recently interviewed Xavier Samuel, who has been cast as Riley in Eclipse. Here's the interview:

More HitFix Interviews: Producer Wyck Godfrey, Michael Sheen & Taylor Lautner

In addition to the interview with Chris Weitz, HitFix also has these new interviews:

Interview with Taylor Lautner
Interview with Producer Wyck Godfrey (where he talks New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn!)
Interview with Michael Sheen.

Excerpt from the one with Wyck Godfrey:

Q: What do you foresee might be the biggest challenges of bringing 'Breaking Dawn' to the big screen?
Let’s see. There’s this little character, this young character in that book, that I think is going to be really hard to …

Q: Renesmee maybe?
I think that to me is the biggest challenge.

Q: Or the birth scene is quite graphic. I mean that would take it over the PG rating.
My wife’s an OB-GYN so she says it’s a great way to get a baby out of…just chew your way through. It’s going to be like really exciting. No, obviously we’re not going to make a rated R movie. You’ve all read the books so I mean that’ll be a challenge. That’s really more of a challenge of just kind of doing it in a way where people aren’t going to walk out of the theatre because you don’t want to see that much.

Interview: Kellan talks to Twilighters Italia

TwilightersItalia.com talked to Kellan Lutz recently (over the phone, I think?). He talks about fame, fans, music and the whole Edward/Jacob rivalry.

Somewhere in there, Kellan also mentions that he loves Death Cab for Cutie and that he's into art and drawing/painting. Kellan, we should so totally get together sometime. Just sayin'.

Interview: Christopher Heyerdahl Reveals New Moon Details

Christopher Heyerdahl, who plays Volturi vampire Marcus, revelas details on New Moon in this new interview with SciFiWire.

Heyerdahl's character is a member of the Volturi, a venerable coven of vampires based in Volterra, Italy, whose members also include Michael Sheen and Dakota Fanning.

"He's one of the oldest vampires on the planet, and who doesn't want to play a 3,000-year-old vampire?" Heyerdahl said. "The cast that I get to work with, like Michael Sheen. ... We had so much fun goofing off together. It was an absolute hoot. Director Chris Weitz's version for this piece is like a Renaissance painting. The images were absolutely beautiful, and the character is such a tragic old fellow."

[...]Heyerdahl—who has worn extensive makeup and prosthetics for some of his roles —said that the makeup required in New Moon to transform him into one of the undead was easy by comparison.

"Yeah, they do their best to suck the life out of you, but certainly nothing compared to any of those past prosthetics," Heyerdahl said. "From that perspective, it was pretty easy. The looks they are getting in this film are absolutely fantastic. Everyone looks gorgeous and deliciously lifeless."

Interviews With Embry and Eric Kiowa Gordon and Justin Chon

It's weird just how much you miss out on during only a couple of days without blogging. So since I don't have time (right now) to do ten different posts, I'm going to sum it up in one. Here are some new interviews with Kiowa Gordon, who plays Embry Call in NM, and Justin Chon, who plays Eric. Excerpts: Interview with Kiowa:

In the sequel [to Twilight], to be released in November, [Jacob] Black and four other Native American young
men emerge as werewolves.

Thousands of Native young men from the U.S. and Canada tried out for the four new roles. Gordon; Alex Meraz, Purepecha (Tarasco); Chaske Spencer, Lakota; and Bronson Pelletier, Cree-Metis, were fortunate enough to be cast.

According to Gordon, Embry Call is Jake’s right hand man, tall, skinny, shy and the fourth to turn into a werewolf. “We protect the tribe, protect them from vampires.” [...]

Within a couple of weeks word came he landed the part of Embry Call. “My mom got an e-mail. She was ecstatic.” After speaking to the director on the phone, he was off to Los Angeles for a “cyberscan.” It’s a technique used in many movies to create real-life animation. “A machine went around my body to create a computer image so I could be transformed into a werewolf.”

“When I went to Vancouver, the first person I met was Alex Meraz. During the first three weeks I hung out with the wolf pack. We worked with a personal trainer. I gained five pounds. We all bonded and became like brothers,” Gordon said. “I’m the smallest (physically) but I’m the tallest.” Gordon is 5 feet 11 inches tall.

Read the rest of this interview here. Then an excerpt from a short interview with Justin:

J-14: In Twilight, did you draw from your own high school experience to flirt with Bella Swan in the cafeteria?

Justin Chon: Of course. As an actor you're always trying to draw from real stuff to make it real, but I would say in acting terms, you use like substitutions and you think back to the moment. I just tried to make him as awkward as possible and just overly excited about everything.

Kellan Spills About New Moon Set

Kellan Lutz talks about how it was working on the set of New Moon, how the twi-cast are all very close on as well as off set and where he sees himself in a ten years time in a new interview with Social Life. Excerpt:

What is your typical day like on the set of New Moon, the sequel to Twilight?

New Moon was a very relaxed film to work on and it all starts with how easy going director Chris Wietz is. That vibe rolls down to the crew and actors. It makes it so easy when we've all worked together before. Everything was so well organized, making it easy for the actors to do our job. We had more time to just laugh and make jokes and hang out; it's important to have a cast that gels the way we do and you'll see that more in the second film.

The entire cast of Twilight and New Moon has gone from Hollywood new faces to overnight international sensations – has that been a bonding experience for all of you?

It's amazing what Twilight has done for the cast! It has opened up so many doors for us all. It is such a blessing to be a part of the phenomenon that is Twilight. It's a dream come true! We are all very close and stay close on set as well as off. We play board games, go out to dinner and just hang out. It's amazing to be able to work with such a talented group of actors.

Where do you see yourself in five or ten years?

I'd like to continue acting for as long as possible. I truly love it and I am lucky that not only is it my career but it's something I really enjoy doing so it doesn't feel like work. Hopefully in ten years, I'll have an amazing family with a beautiful wife and little Kellan's running around to play football with.

What Jackson looks for in a women

First off, let me just say that I really do try to only post news about the Twilight books and movies here. Because if I were to blog about all the crazy rumors, the paparazzi pictures and what all the actors are up to every day, I simply wouldn't have time for anything else than blogging. So I try not to do that, and only give you news that actually has something to do with either the books or the movies. That said, when I come across interviews like this one, which isn't at all Twi-related (the word 'Twilight' isn't even mentioned once throughout the whole thing), I have to make an exception.

In NY Beauty Examiner's interview, Jackson Rathbone talks about likes and dislikes when it comes to women and dating. As usual, here's an excerpt:

GC: Do you prefer women with makeup or natural?

JR: Natural, mostly, but I've been known to be extremely attracted to the punk rock look. Though sometimes, it's a little too much and you can't tell how a woman will look when she wakes up; it's really about whatever makeup makes her feel more like herself and more comfortable with who she is, not the other way around. In other words, a woman who defines her makeup and doesn't let the makeup define her.

GC: In your opinion, what do men really notice about women?

JR: The way she carries herself. Many times, my friends and I will notice a girl who is beautiful, but just looks miserable in her demeanor. It's a turn-off. Life's too short.

Oh, and while we're at it: Found the picture above at TwilightPoison the other day. See that tattoo there (click to enlarge)? On his hip? Here's what Jackson had to say about his "I'm lost..." tattoo in an interview with Inked Mag, from April this year:

INKED: Let's talk tattoos. How many do you have?

JACKSON RATHBONE: I only have one right now, but I definitely plan on getting more. My friends and I were kind of the bad kids in school, the troublemakers. We went to Interlochen Arts Academy, this really great boarding school in Michigan, and there were six of us who were always acting out against authority. The school administration was like, "Stay away from those boys-they're ‘Lost Boys,'" so that's what everyone called us. When I was 18, I got a tattoo that says, "I'm lost."

May I just take a moment to say that I am falling in love becoming a Jackson fan here? I am.

Rachelle Lefevre Talks New Moon

Rachelle Lefevre talks New Moon, director change and how Rob is adjusting to fame in a new interview with 24 Hours Vancouver. Excerpt:

Usually when a film succeeds, a studio clings to its creator. But in the case of New Moon, Catherine Hardwicke is out, replaced by Chris Weitz.

“It could have been bad,” Lefevre admits. “But I think because Harry Potter went through it first to their benefit, we were like, ‘The Potter kids went through a director shift and they were okay, so we’ll be okay too.’

A third transition will happen later this year in Vancouver when another director, David Slade (30 Days of Night), takes the reins of the next sequel Eclipse.

“It’s perfect timing for David because Eclipse is darker than the other two. There’s more action. It’s not a horror movie, but it is darker.”

Metro's Interview With Robert

Robert Pattinson talks Edward, New Moon and how he's dealing with his newly found fame in an interview with Metro News. Excerpt:

Were you surprised that Twilight became such a phenomenon?

It never ever fails to shock me. Even here. Yesterday, there were 300 people outside the set. It’s just crazy. Every day, every single person I meet knows someone who has a very strong attachment to the books. It’s very difficult to put your head around. I can go through customs at any airport in the world — every customs agent is like, ‘Can I get an autograph for my daughter?’ Every single time! It’s crazy! I just hope it doesn’t change the way I think and stuff.

Vampires or Werewolves? KStew is as torn as Bella

MetroNews has a really great interview with Kristen Stewart. You should check it out at their site. In this interview, Kristen talks about how it is being an actress and why she loves it so much. She also talks Bella, Twilight and New Moon. Here's an excerpt:What are the changes in this second installment [New Moon]? Your character Bella takes risks again…

Well, she loses what basically gives her the drive to do anything in her whole life. She loses the man she’s in love with, but she also loses her entire life plan, and she’s so young to have to be forced into a decision like that. It’s just a glorified, elaborate version of the worst breakup you’ve ever been through. All of a sudden you question everything. All of a sudden you know nothing and you’re dropped in the middle of a freezing cold ocean.

Oddly, we have a character that’s warm enough and bright enough to bring her out of that, and it’s truly gut-ripping. Because as perfect as Jacob is for her, she holds on to an ideal, the ultimate fiery love that she has for Edward even though it’s not comfortable, it’s not practical and it’s not a good idea. So it’s really a very strong thing to do. It takes someone who really trusts themselves.

So basically the movie starts out and everything’s great, and then it gets absolutely terrible, and then it gets maybe OK again, and then it’s" no, no, no, no – life is hard." It’s going to get hard again because he comes back again.

So what does Kristen prefer, the werewolf or the vampire?

Kristen shouldn’t open her mouth (Laughs). Kristen is entirely torn. Kristen should stop using her name in the third person.

You were virtually unknown when you shot Twilight. How has your life changed since its phenomenal success?

My life hasn’t changed. Most circumstances I find myself in are different than they were a year ago, but I myself haven’t changed...however a normal 18-year-old girl would change in a year. But it makes things so much easier. I would do it for free every day [even] if nobody saw it. I cannot describe how good it feels to actually have something that is truly into your heart and soul actually affecting people. And that’s amazing. So that’s the biggest change.

MTV Movie Awards: Backstage With Rob

MTV News just posted another article and video from a backstage interview from the MTV Movie Awards last Sunday. Robert tells MTV he actually hadn't seen the New Moon trailer before the show, and that from what he has seen, NM looks "amazing." Excerpt:

When RPattz wasn't getting faked out by Kristen Stewart, hit on by Jim Carrey or talking about whatever was in his pants, he took a moment to give a backstage interview to MTV News during the show.

MTV: Rob, you won Best Fight tonight. How did it feel up there on stage?"
Robert Pattinson: It made me feel really tough; really hard. I don't think I've ever won a fight in my life, so it was cool.

MTV: We're about to debut the "New Moon" trailer. Give us your reaction to it.
Pattinson: I haven't seen it yet.
MTV: You haven't?
Pattinson: This will be my first time seeing it.
MTV: Well, I'm sure you've seen the 15-second preview online, where you're kissing Kristen, right?
Pattinson: I haven't seen anything! I mean, from what I've seen from playback and stuff when I've been shooting it, it looks amazing. So I think ["New Moon"] should be [good]. I'm keeping it as a surprise from myself.

Thanks for the tweet, TwilightersAnonymous!

The Twilight Lexicon Interviews Charlie Bewley

Playing Demetri in New Moon, Charlie Bewley is quickly becoming a well known name to Twilight fans. The Twilight Lexicon had the opportunity to interview Charlie. You can read the whole interview at the Lexicon, where he talks about auditioning, filming and his character Demetri, one of the evil Voulturi vamps. Here's a snippet of it:

What parts of filming did you find challenging (ie green screen,
make-up). What was most enjoyable?
The experience on the New Moon set was a thrilling one. It’s this big hive of activity and everyone is working their proverbials off to pull this thing together. The crew were all brilliant, but I have to mention that Chris Weisz is just the coolest guy to work with. I still don’t really understand how he does it, but he just does, and brilliantly efficiently at that, without breaking any eggs.
It was great hanging around with the cast, on and off set. There are some great figures in this flick. Big shout back home to Jamie Cameo-Power, very entertaining. Special thanks also to the make-up department who were a lot of fun and kept us all awake and entertained at 5am call-times.
The most challenging thing was keeping away from the kraft tent. The food they serve up is damn good and I have a nut addiction which rivals your average lipid-deficient Brazilian squirrel.

Which member of the Volturi do you think the audience will find the most frightening?
Dakota. Jane. Both, in fact, are a little unnerving.

TA Interview with Gil Birmingham

Twilighters Anonymous has a great interview with actor Gil Birmingham, who plays Jacob's father Billy Black. Excerpt:

TA.com: Has the Twilight hype affected you in anyway? After having gone through one Twilight film already, do you feel you are better prepared for the hype the second time around?
GB: The whole Twilight experience has been truly amazing. I am constantly in awe of the love and support that Twilight fans all over the world continue to give me. The downside is that I have less time now to communicate directly with my fans, but I hope they know that I feel truly blessed to be a part of this thing called Twilight. I’m at the point in my life where I can appreciate all the adoration from fans, but not get swept up in all the hype. I’m still the same Gil Birmingham I was before Twilight.

TA.com: Can you tell us what it was like filming New Moon?
GB: New Moon was a tremendous experience for me. It was great to be back working with Rob, Kristen, Taylor and the rest of the cast. With the addition of the werewolf clan cast members, the energy on the set was at a whole new level. Filming New Moon, like Twilight, wasn’t easy. We spent long hours on location, in cold damp weather, sometimes well into the morning. What impressed me the most was the many dedicated fans who camped out in the cold all night while we were on location. They were really amazing!
