Metro News Canada on Set of Twilight Saga: New Moon

by miss d on June 15, 2009

Metro News Canada did a whole series of articles while on the set of Twilight Saga: New Moon.

In the first installment they describe a little of what they saw on the set, including Taylor Lautner forgetting his lines and a kiss given to Robert Pattinson by Kristen Stewart (in character of course!).

Buff Taylor Lautner

Taylor Lautner Buffed Up

Taylor talks about beefing up (boy did he!) for the “new Jacob Black”, how he likes working with New Moon director Chris Weitz, getting to do his own stunt work and a heck of a lot more in this second installment. He also mentions that his favorite actress used to be Jessica Alba (really?), and now it’s Megan Fox (I don’t get it). I see he’s into the looks. Sigh. He’ll eventually learn that looks aren’t everything. I kid. I’m sure he isn’t that superficial.

Chris Weitz

Third, we get to take a look inside Chris Weitz’ mind, how taking over such a huge franchise can be both exciting and daunting, fan expectations, Alexander Desplats (the composer for New Moon), um, a SPOILER for the end of the story, casting some of the Volturi vampires, and Stephen King’s dig at Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight books. Glad he was very diplomatic at responding to that Stephen King question. I agree with him 100%. Yay Chris Weitz!

Kristen Stewart
This fourth article is a very insightful look at Kristen’s view on Bella and the New Moon story. I love this part (and no, this is not the insightful part I was referring to):

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.

Apparently she does have some humor in her!

Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson

And they must’ve done this on purpose since I’m sure people were just dying for a Rob Pattinson interview…so they saved it for last. In this interview, Rob talks about being in disguise while walking on the street (which he’s not very good at disguises since he attracts a crowd practically everywhere he goes), how relaxed the filming was going for New Moon, choosing scripts, playing Edward again and the New Moon soundtrack.

P.S. I think the comments in response to how short the article is are kinda funny (and true).

What did you think of these interviews? Do you feel confident in how they’ll be portraying their characters in New Moon?
