Here's an interview from MTV with KStew and Taylor xx
MTV: He is very huggable. Tell us about one scene that you read either in Stephenie Meyer’s book or in Melissa Rosenberg’s screenplay that you were like, “Man, that’s going to be tough to pull off,” and tell us how you were able to figure it out.
Stewart: “New Moon” is riddled with all of that. I think it’s the one book in the series that I was intimidated by — in a good way. That’s the best feeling to start a movie with. But probably, my favorite line in the book is when I have to say to [Jacob], “It’s him; it’s always been him!” Like, I have to say that. Yeah, it killed me, it killed me.
MTV: It was a tough day to shoot?
Stewart: Yeah, and just like everything in our movie, it’s such a heightened version of reality. It’s like, people don’t just break up [in the "Twilight" films] — they break up and it literally kills you. It’s not like you just say, “Oh, I’m really depressed and crying.” Everything is supposed to be a fantasy version of that. So I always had a really hard time figuring out, “Am I doing enough? Do I look like I’m going to die?”
MTV: Yeah, it would be tough to be the most dramatic person in the world, but without being cheesy. And Taylor?
Lautner: ["New Moon"] is very complicated. There’s a lot of heartbreak, there’s a lot of things going on. Edward leaves at the beginning, she goes into this depression, I come to try and bring her out of it. Then I go through my own issues, and then she leaves me. It’s all over the place, and there’s a lot going on, and there’s many of those scenes that you described.
MTV: Which was your favorite to shoot?
Lautner: My favorite one was — well, we call it the breakup scene — but it’s the scene right after she sees me shirtless and I’ve cut off my hair, all different for the first time. I have to tell her that we can’t be friends anymore.

Twilight - The Novel
Its gonna be a book review to start and it's my twilight book review -
So, lets start with favourite scenes in the book -
- The Meadow Scene -
Now, I know it sounds pretty generic to like the meadow scene but you can't help but love it. It's really where it all started - literally, as in where the author began writing and where the realationship is turly defined as a 'relationship' (for me anyways)
For me, I don't think it was the meadow, as such, that I loved but it was more of what was implied in the visit to the meadow. This is the place where Bella lets Edward know that she knows he won't hurt her, even if he doesn't know this himself. I'm not completely sure what words are used to say this but I loved the fact that it is said. It defines the entrie realtionship for me. It's what its all about.
- The Blood Typing Scene -
This has to be my favourite scene in the entrie book and I'm not sure why is. I love the bit where Edward asks if Bella can hear him and she says something along the lines of no go away. It just makes me chuckle when I read it. I also like the bit where Bella says she can smell blood, it's like rust and salt or something like that and that she finds it sickening or it just makes her ill. I think that is quite an ironic thing to say considering what she asks for most of the books.
*Spoilers (if you have only read Twilight and want to read the rest of the books don't read this becuase it gives it away, alot)*
Bella asks, for 3 and a bit books, to become a vampire, and vampires live on a diet of blood, be it human or animal blood. See the irony. No? Is it just me??
I like the part, also, where Edward decides to drive Bella home. There are no specifics, I just love that he is so gentlemanly. If only he were reakl. If only real guys would do sweet things like that. Ah, well, a a girl ca dream. :-)
- Good Point -
I love how Stephenie was able to get into the mind of a 17 year old girl. I mean, I know that Bella is mature beyond her years and that she has the mind of someone a lot older but I would love to have the talent to be able to get into the head of a girl that is not my age.
- Bad Point -
Sopme of the lines are so incredibly sappy. The book is full of cheese. I know i put the title as a bad point and it kind of is in a way because there is know way that, in reality, a guy would be able to pull off these words. Now it could be contrude as good because it shows off how different Edward is to a real guy, or human guy. I know this section is a little random and not very conclusive but i thought I should say something about the corny lines; which include "and so the lion fell in love with the lamb" quote. Another thing to say about the cheesy lines is that they continue through out the whole series
*spoliers*
like the quote in new moon about 'my life was a moonlight before you'.
- Favourite Quotes -
I can not pick a favourite quote from this book, there are so many.
I suppose the good one that I have mentioned above is in the blood typing scene where Edward asks if Bella can hear him and she says somthing along the line of no go away.
I also love the first time that Edward says I Love You, and i think it is on the way to the baseball game. I like when Bella says I Love You also but I like Edward's better, and i think it's because he says it so out of the blue. I mean, because the book is from Bella's p.o.v, you already know that she is madly in love with Edward.
- A Little Bit About The Film -
(it deserves a mention)
Now the film is very different form the book, and if you haven't read the book and you see the film, the whole relationship is rushed. When you have read the book, you fill in the gaps for yourself, but obviously, if you haven't read the book you can't do that.
Now my biggest disappointment about the movie is that they didn't include the blood type scene and I know quite a few people also feel this way. I have heard explainations of why this scene wasn't included and totally get it, but it doesn't stop the disappointment.
Happy things now!! What I loved about the movie was a scene that wasn't in the book, and that was the field trip scene. I have noi idea why the scene hold such appeal to me, but I think it might have something to do with Edward "hi" in it. I think it oges a little something like this
Edward -"What's in Florida?"
Bella - "Where did you hear that?"
Edward - "You didn't answer my question."
Bella - "Well, you never answert any of mine. You don't even say hi to me"
Edward - "Hi"
Bella - "Floridians. That's whats in florida"
So I think this might be why this scene holds alot of appeal for me.
I also love the adreline rush - you can google it bit. It just makes me laugh.
I love the cast and the people who don't, well, get over it.
Rob is a brilliant Edward and I think that he does a fab job with the accent. American people can pick up the flaws in it, becuase it's there accent. But, me, being British I could tell many problems with it. One issue I have is Edward first "hi" to Bella. It comes out a bit Swedish or something like that.
Kristen is a great Bella and fits the imaginary Bella in my mind. Not much more to say accept, whats with the heavy breathing? It can get a little annoying but I think it shows how nervous Bella is around Edward. So, I agree, have some but there is a bit to much in the entire movie.
I love Ashley as Alice and she also fits my imaginary version of Alice. I was a little unsure aboout Jackson as Japser, but he plays the role brilliantly.
Great castings include:
• Kellan as Emmett
• Nikki as Rose
• Peter as Carlisle
•Mike as Mike
•Anna as Jessica
Just a little about the music - and Twilight has a great sound. Best songs in the film are:
1.Super Massive Black Hole - Muse
2.Decode - Paramore
3.I Caught Myself - Paramore
4.Never Think - Rob Pattinson
5.Let Me Sign - Rob Pattinson
That was my first review and hope you love it

A bit late - Set Repot - Fan Site Fridays - From Twilight Source
Matt's New Moon set visit
On November 20th, 2009, Summit will release the highly-anticipated "Twilight" sequel, "New Moon". Twilight Source was invited to the Vancouver-based set by Summit so we could give the fans a detailed report. I went on behalf of the site and now present to you my findings!
(Please note that interview transcripts will be released in their entirety over the next few Fridays in association with other fansites who went with me.)
We visited the set in late April 2009, and since the official set visit wasn't until late at night, during the day I tagged along with Laura of Twilight Lexicon and Kallie and Kassie of Twilight Series Theories for a trip to see some of the filming locations for "New Moon." Our stops included Bella's house, Jacob Black's house and Forks High School.
The Black house had to be the set I was most excited to visit because I knew it was the first time fans were getting to see Jacob's home. It didn't disappoint. The house itself fit the Black family perfectly. Its red/bronze exterior gives a very worn look, which makes sense given it's home to only a father and son. The property around the house is very open and surrounded by trees, which is an ideal spot for any newborn werewolf who wants to let out some aggression.
The high school that Summit decided to use as Forks High was David Thompson Secondary, and it doesn't exactly present the same exterior as fans will remember from "Twilight." This will probably be one of the biggest aesthetic changes fans will see from the first film to the second, although Christian Serratos noted in a recent interview with MTV that exterior school scenes (i.e. the parking lot) will be done with green screens.
Finally it was the night of the set visit, and the drive took a solid 45 minutes. Our chauffeur was named Ron - a really nice guy, but very hush-hush. In fact, he wasn't allowed to say anything to us about the shooting. No actor info, no set description, no nothing. The only thing we knew for sure was that we were visiting a New Moon set in Vancouver.
As we finally made it to our destination, it was nightfall and all you could see was whatever the headlights were shining on. For about a mile we drove on a dirt road alongside farms until we suddenly noticed we were approaching several groups of people. We quickly realized that the first group we saw consisted of roughly thirty or forty die hard fans hoping to get a glimpse of the action. Shortly after passing the fans, we turned a dark corner and suddenly - there it was! Bella Swan's house, all lit up.
The film's Site Publicist, Rachael, warmly greeted us as we entered the set. Walking further in, I had a chance to get a closer view of the house. It was remarkable to witness how these people do what they do - the house looked exactly the same from the first film. The design of the house was perfect. The windows, the doors, even the bushes in the front were the same. It looked as though they lifted the original home and delivered it to Vancouver for the shoot. I did notice, however, that the surrounding area differed from that of "Twilight." No longer was it a part of a suburban rural neighborhood. It was now directly in front of a forest and surrounded by more acreage of lawn.
It wasn't long before we spoke with the crew. Rachael introduced us to director Chris Weitz first. Right off the bat I realized how much Summit lucked out with this guy. He is a wonderful director with an intense passion for the series that's somewhat reminiscent of Catherine Hardwicke (the director of "Twilight"). Every question we threw at him was answered with honesty and intelligence. It was immediately evident that he knew the story very well and had an excellent idea of what the fans wanted to see. After about 25 minutes of interviewing (yes, it was a long time!) we said our goodbyes to Chris because he had to start preparing for the shoot.
As we waited for filming to start, Gil Birmingham (the actor who portrays Billy Black) walked up to us. He's always made me laugh in the past and this time was no different. He glanced our way and decided to have a little fun with us. He started to stroll in our direction (looking around the set as he reached our party), leaned over slightly, and joked, "...Who are you guys?" He knew full well why we were there. He has such a great personality and a wonderful sense of humor. He isn't much different than his character in the film, and after a few questions we learned just how happy he was with the filming in Vancouver.
As we waited a little longer, the cast gathered with Chris Weitz to go over the scene scheduled to be film that night. On set was Kristen Stewart (Bella), Billy Burke (Charlie), Taylor Lautner (Jacob), Gil Birmingham (Billy), Graham Greene (Harry Clearwater) and Chaske Spencer (Sam). Our group was given a monitor so that we could get a glimpse of how filming looked through the camera. While the cast and crew went to their marks, we were introduced to Executive Producer Wyck Godfrey. Wyck has been involved with both "Twilight" and "New Moon", and he'll continue his role through "Breaking Dawn." His apparent knowledge of the series was comforting in that we knew he wouldn't let any major plot elements slip away. Every word that came out of his mouth had such enthusiasm and excitement.
Then it was time to start shooting. The set was silent other than muffled directives from Chris Weitz. Then, we heard "Action!" The scene was shot in front of the house with Charlie's police car parked adjacent to it. Next to the car were Charlie, Billy, Harry and Jacob (in his iconic long-haired wig). The four were huddled over the hood of the police car, looking intently at a map. It appeared that there was a small group of people wrapped in blankets behind them looking tired and worried. Charlie cannot stay still - he paced back and forth looking very worried and tired, as if he hadn't slept in days. Suddenly, in the distance behind the house, a figure appears from the trees. And it's holding something. The camera shifted to focus on the figure, and as our eyes adjusted we realize that it's a shirtless Sam Uley holding Bella. Jacob was the first to spot the two. As he turned to them, he says in a quiet, relieved voice, "Charlie." Charlie then turned toward Jacob and saw Bella unconscious in Sam's arms. In a heartbeat, he sprinted toward Sam and pulled Bella into his arms.
During and in between takes Wyck would comment in a whisper about the scene and other tidbits he wanted to share. Most were about "New Moon," the director, and "Breaking Dawn." He seemed very pleased with the choice of Chris Weitz, applauding his professionalism and disarming sense of humor. At one point, for example, Weitz yelled, "Cut! No, why did I say cut? BAD DIRECTOR, BAD."
After several takes, everyone took a break, which introduced an opportunity to speak to more of the actors. We first talked to Chaske Spencer, who plays Sam Uley. He told us how he got picked for the role and he detailed his workout regime, which included working with a trainer on set to stay buff.
Next, Taylor Lautner paid us a visit. Taylor is always thrilled to meet fans of the series and never disappoints. He was all smiles and was more than happy to answer anything we asked him. His wig looked so much better this time around. It flowed a lot more freely and suited his face really well. Right after Taylor left, we got a surprise visit from Kristen Stewart. She didn't have much time before she was called on set, but she wanted to make it apparent that she was very glad that she could meet us and have us on set with her that night. She also apologized for the somber mood she was in to keep with the scene they were filming. She told us that the happier scenes were ones that they referred to as "Jacob Days."
Not too long after Kristen's departure, it was our time to leave the set. As we got inside the van, we passed the same group of fans we had seen camped out when we first entered the site.
With everything said and done, this visit has done nothing but increase my excitement for the film. The amount of dedication from Summit, the cast, and crew shows me that they really want to please the fans, which pleases me. Look for interview transcripts over the next few Fridays to hear exactly what each cast member had to say on set!

Fan Site Fridays - Gil Birmingham - From Twilight Source
This Is Gil Birmingham - Plays Billy Black
(Transcript by Laura of Twilight Lexicon)
Q: What's this movie like compared to the first movie. What's the production been like overall?
Gil: It's much larger (laughs) I'll tell you that. I don't know. That's a good question. How was it different? Being in Vancouver is slightly different. You know the cast members are still like a family. You take a little break, and you're back together again. So, it picks up where we left off.
You know they found such a great location to-look at that house-(indicates the newly created Bella's house set) it looks like the other one exactly.
You know I'm not here that much. I just got in this weekend. So this is my first day on-I was here a couple of weeks ago when we did the shoot (speaking of scenes shot at the Black House location). Now I'm here for today and I'm gone tomorrow. So, I don't know whether I'm in a position to tell you if there is a whole lot of difference.
Q: The weather better?
Gil: The weather is nice. The restaurants are great.

Fan Site Fridays - Update form Twilight Source - Chaske Spencer Interview
We had a chance to talk with Chaske Spencer who plays Sam Uley in New Moon. The transcript below is taken from our collective notes since we were unable to record him. Whenever something is a direct quote and not a paraphrase quotes have been used.
Q: Why are you working out so much between takes? Is the workout regimen that strenuous?
Chaske: It's cold outside it's survival.
Q: What was your casting process like.
Chaske: It was a long casting process with Rene Haynes. It lasted several months, but when they decided on me it was just two weeks before the first scene I was in was shot.
Q: Have you read any of the Twilight books?
Chaske: I have read up to Eclipse and New Moon is my favorite. I read the book first and then the script.
Q: So what was it like working with Chris Weitz?
Chaske: He's a "laid back director" and one "cool dude!" He's a "guy's guy" and is a lot of fun to hang out with.
Q: What's your favorite scene so far?
Chaske: The scene where Bella confronts the wolfpack. "It was pretty epic".
Q: How did the wolf pack bond together?
Chaske: We were all rooming in the same hotel, so we always saw each other. We trained together and hung out together playing basketball. We knew we "needed to be a band of brothers" on screen, so we tried to bond on and off screen. We made sure that we would go to meals together and sit as a family.
Q: What do you do when you're not shooting?
Chaske: I train a lot and explore Vancouver.
Q: How has the role changed you?
Chaske: So far, it hasn't really.
Q: What was it like dealing with the press and the new found fame?
Chaske: I didn't really know what to expect, but "it's been surreal". When there are too many press around, "I just put on my sunglasses and hoodie, and I get my Jason Bourne on. I sneak off into the sunset."
Q: Did you do any research on the Quileute people? Can you tell us about the pack tattoo?
Chaske: I didn't have as much time to research as I would have liked because everything happened so fast. I only had two weeks from when I was cast until I had to be on set. But I did a little bit. The tattoo is a circle with two wolves based on a Quileute legends.

New Moon's Newst Trailer
So, this is more of a listen to me ramble on about my thoughts of the trailer but hope u enjoy
First of all watch the trailer
Now, lets get down to the reviewing bit:
I've got screen prints of the trailer so if u cant watch the trailer then just go with the flow and you can make it up from the screen prints (they are in the order that I talk about them above):
So lets start with the Edward and Bella kiss at 14 seconds -
hot or what?
it's the best Edward and Bella kiss yet, or it is as far as I'm concerned.
if the twilight kiss got awards this will as well.
Now I'm getting a TV spot feel from this trailer - I think that it's the whole Taylor talking thing but dont get me wrong, I love it, and it made me want to see New Moon more but you have to admit that it's a not much like a normal trailer for a movie.
Now, at 32 seconds, you see Taylor/Jacobs wig. Now it it a lot better than the one in Twilight but come one, everyone has to admit he is so much better looking when he has short hair. I know its all with the character but I wish he cut it sooner in the film rather than half way through. Call me shallow if you will, but its true. Taylor rock the short hair look.
At 40 seconds you see Taylor/Jacob with his top off. All I have to say it, 'keep it off'. Not really, but its not a bad thing to watch is it. He is a good looking guy, with good looking meaning completely and utterly gorgeous. This is a clip you should have seen before, but only from a recording from Comic Con. This is one of the two scene released at Comic Con. The Comic Con clips were the motorbike seen, which you get a bit of in this trailer, and the build up to the Italy reunion scene. They are great and even though the quality is poor, because it's a recording and all you hear is screaming fan girls, but you can get the gist.
0:46 - Taylor does some great stunt work here, but hang on it gets better. Just wait till I get 1:18. I heard that Taylor did all his stunts, and if he did, W.O.W. They are great stunts, and how awesome must it be to be able to do stuff like that. I was watching E News today and saw a video of an eleven year old Taylor doing his martial arts thing. I will try a get a video and upload it asap.
The next big thing is at 1:18. Now this is the first look you get at the wolf pack. Now they are not in wolf form, but you get a look at who will play Sam, Paul and i think it's Embry and Jared. Its cool to finally see them on film.
You've got Chaske Spenser as Alpha Sam Uley
You've got Alex Meraz as Paul, who hasn't got control of his anger issues yet
Of course Taylor plays Jacob but he's not in the scene with the other wolf pack guys
Now if i have it correct and it is Jared and Embry with Paul and Sam then you've got Kiowa Gordon as Embry and Bronson Pelletier as Jared.
1:18 gets a little mention again, but the stunts are brilliant and hats off to Taylor for pulling it off. Well done!!!
Next big thing in the trailer is the fact that you see Jane, who is played by Dokata Fanning. I have to admit that I was bit wary about her playing Jane, she seemed to have a innocent look about her. But, hands up, I was wrong. She is the perfect Jane. She had the whole evil persona thing down in this trailer and I get the Jane vibe, if there is such a thing. Well, there is in my world. :-)
Not such a big scene but it deserves a mention. It's Bella's cliff driving scene. You see Bella, Kristen Stewart, in the water and then you see her mid fall, and let me tell you it look sooooooooooooooo cool. I was looking forward to seeing this scene and I don't know why, but from what I have seen in this trailer, I'm looking forward to the whole scene even more. Are you?
Next is a big WTF moment!!!! Jacob and Bella look like they are going to kiss. Now I know in the book that they have a moment where she thinks about it but I never imagined it getting to the point that it does in the movie. Now, I don't know weather its a good thing or not. Do you want them to kiss in this movie? I want it to wait until Eclipse. I hope that they get interpputed by the call before they actually lock lips but this is just way to far for me. I imagined them having an intense staring moment but i never imagined that they would actually get that close. this all happens at 1:29 in the trailer but I have a screen print of it above.
Next moment is a Edward moment. So you get a flash of Edward in Italy, in one of the red robes. Now, I know that when a vamp is thirsty the eyes are black. And I also know that Edward was meant to be thirsty in Italy. So, why are his eyes golden???? They got the dark bruise like shadows around his eyes, which is meant to mean that he is thirsty, and again, I ask why Golden????????????? But at least we got some new shots of Edward in the trailer. Just a little statement here, but does anyone see a little Cedric in him in that shot. Yes. No. Or is it just me.
Now, seconds after this shot of Edward you get a shot of Victoria, played by Rachelle. Sad, Sad, Sad. this is the last time we'll see her play Victoria in movie. Boo Hoo. Anyways, check out the hair. Red or what. that is so more Victoria hair than it was in the first movie. Much more red.
Loving the wolf transformation - I know that it was on the other trailer - but OMG it gets better everytime i watch it. Its brilliant. I can't say it enough. I simply love the wolf change.
Now the last thing that I will do via a screen shot anaylsis is coming up. Now the last bit of the trailer is of Taylor/Jacob saying the line 'Dont get me upset'
the line is a lil... awkward but its okay I suppose. Just watch it, because I'm not sure if awkward is the right word, but there is something not quite right about the line. Let me know if you think of another word that i

Newest New Part Two
so this is my part two
lets get the post off the ground with some talk about Edi, who plays the vampire Laurnet in Twilight and New Moon.
He has announced that he has seen new moon and that he saw it with the fabulous author stephenie meyer.
I have a transcipt of and interview with him, but check out his twitter, thats where he announced that he had seen new moon, im sure he'll update u fans when he can about more fab new moon news
Weirdest thing that happened on set?
idk. I tried to block out the weirdness but I can tell awkward. I can tell you and uncomfortable thing that happened on set, like an awkward thing, me being awkward. It was the first week of filming and we all went to dinner to get to know each other as an ice breaker. We are all sitting around the dinner table and I decide to make a toast. And this is Twilight right and not many people know what this is or what this may be. I had a hunch cause I had a friend that was into the books. So I decide to make this ridiculous toast and I say Guys we are on the forefront of something HUGE. This is amazing to be apart of, we're at the foundation of something that is really going to take off, guys this is amazing. Pleasure to be here with you guys. And they all looked at me like (crazy) what is he talking about? That was one of my most awkward moments BUT I was right.
What were your reaction to the screening of New Moon with Stephenie Meyer yesterday?
You guys if you haven't twittered yet, I saw New Moon yesterday. And I sat next to Stephenie Meyer. In a private theater that had like 10 seats. And I watched this gorgeous movie in front of me. And pound for pound I think you guys are gonna LLLLOOOOVVVVEEE it. I don't anyone is not going to love it. I think it's just a movie where everyone will love it. You know what my prediction is? There will be a whole new onslaught of twiguys. I think that's actually the biggest recommendation that you can get. Cause we already know that we have all the female fans. I think with this movie that people will be...this movie is just damn good. Hey Bruno...yeah. I saw New Moon it was good you should go see it. And that's what I think.
Lady walking out of the auditorium talking on her cell phone and Edi says...what is that phone call more important. Just for that I am going to make a call.
Let's see here. Talk amongst yourself as I figure out this gadget. You can't tell me who to call. I make the rules. It rang, it rang again. Hi I am going to put you on speaker phone in a sec. Okay how do we make this happen. Bad news has been delivered. I put the microphone to the ear. is she "she" going to be around at all? I will try later. bye. Sorry guys. He is watching New Moon right now. He won't pick up, he is watching himself right now. They are all in Vancouver watching the film right now together for the next few hours. I called Stephenie Meyer. I thought cause this is Phoenix I thought it would be cool. But it's the thought that counts and I get and A for effort.
And that saying has never made sense to me cause effort starts with an "E". But everyone says "A" for effort so okay. Do you have the solution to that puzzle? (someone yells you get an E for effort) Right but people say A for effort, not phoenix? (in funny voice) In Phoenix we are literal people. You get an "E" for effort and it's capital and it starts the sentence. Jasper is dying to ask another question.
What is your favorite movie to be in?
My favorite movie that I was a part of or any movie I wish I was in? I'll do both and just save us a whole lot of trouble and time. my favorite movie that I have been in, that's a hard question. Can I say 2? Because of the wonder fantastic roller coaster that it is...Twilight. And then ahh for the over 18 crowd I was in a movie called Gone Baby Gone. And that was just a special thing cause I was just with some very talented heavy hittersin the acting world and I was just honored to be a part of it. And Ben Affleck is the most brilliant director thatI have ever worked with. People probably don't know that but he is genius. I had a wonderful time on that project. And ahh a movie I wish I was in and they both have to do with Kung Fu hussle. Genius movie, this movie made me cry. This movie made me laugh, milk out the nose laugh. Then it wowed me the choreography and the martial arts. It was like a, ya know, a Saturday morning cartoon meets a love story meets ya know a comedy. it's genius and then also kung fu....Kung Fu Panda cause it was just fun and I want to do voice overs for cartoons. I could do Saturday morning cartoons. Kelly...what's Kelly's occupation. We need to come up with a show based on Kelly. Dental? She's a dental assistant? Kelly the den...that's too sophisticated for saturday morning cartoon. She's like a cheer leading bunny, a rabbit that's Saturday morning. (Then Edi does his cartoon voice) I let you see me. I let you see me.
What is the craziest thing a fan has ever done to you?
Rewound myself...was this question asked yesterday? It was by you? Yea I can't answer that, it's super crazy. Just like use your imagination and that's it. But you know everyone has a different sort of imagination. So I still didn't say anything.
What was it like being a vampire?
What was it like to act like a vampire. I am going to interpret your question cause first off I don't know what it's like to be a vampire. What I decided, but first off Stephenie writes all these characters so wonderfully that the ground work is already set for you. but when further investigating what it is to be a vampire. The undead human that has no blood flowing through their veins or body doesn't have to breathe, doesn't have to sleep,. That is first off a very futile existence what do you find important. First of all you don't have to do anything. when you have no blood flowing through your body and you don't have to do so much as blink, life doesn't require that. Then every movement that you make is like a conscience one so to appear human is a conscience decision. Like if you want to have human mannerisms. Like you have to be trying to do that. But vampires don't have to do that. For me being a vampire was an exercise in stillness. The more still I could the more vampire I am. ya know. i am so powerful that I can go from here to there in a second that I don't have to put forth any effort i just know that I will do this (steps forward) and cut, they will put me over there, they'll start rolling again. As a human I am like ugh ugh ugh (moving with huge strides with heavy breathing) That's what it's like to be a vampire.
Would you ever want to movie into a directing role and if so, what would you like to direct?
Yes. yes. In about twenty years. i am a little weary of the people who go I'm cute, I'm a go to LA and be an actor. Cause people tell me I'm cute. it's not that easy. You have to learn how to do it. There is training you have to go through. if you wanna do it cause your cute, that's a good start but then you take classes and you learn how to act. So I not gonna be, I've been in movies so I can direct. No, I am going to learn how to do that but right now I am focusing on acting and figuring that out. Then as my career continues I want to venture off and do other things but that takes time. Yeah, that's my final answer.
How do you feel about filming using a different director for New Moon?
Umm thank you for asking me that question. I would have answered it if you said Eclipse but for some reason I had a feeling it was going to be an Eclipse question and I was going to storm off. Just for a show and come back. i think thatas an actor whenever you do a movie you are working with a new director so for us it doesn't really make a difference. It feels kinda natural. That's my final answer and i am sticking with it.
We have something special xxxx went and got you a frappacino. That was you...so if I take a sip of this and I fall down we will all know who did it. You know what you can say that all you want but if i slip and fall, you rufeed me. Oh now I can't drink it, she said she knows CPR and you guys are all out to get me. This is a conspiracy. Should I drink this? wow anticipation. Oh that's heaven. Opened up a can of worms. I'm more interested in this now.
Have you and Mike ever thought of doing stand up together?
Has anyone ever thought about doing stand up together? No my question back to him is has there ever been two people in the history of comedy that are like, let's do a routine together. Touce. Yeah umm Mike. I know you are back there. Michael? Michael Nicolus Welch? That's not his middle name I just made it up to sound authoritative and parental. Umm no we haven't but i was going to bring him out here to see if it would work. Would you watch it? What do you think....could we sell tickets? In an auditorium and have people laughing? People would be like...go that was just joy (in a funny voice). That was a lot of fun wasn't it Margaret. Margaret, another name I just pulled out.
When you read the books is there actors that you had pictured for the parts?
For the other actors or for me? That's a good question. I wish I had a good answer for you but i didn't spend a lot of time thinking about what actors would best fit the roles that were available. Partly because I was busy.
What was your favorite vampire to work with?
That's a dangerous question. You are going to P.O. somebody. Umm I know there not here but twitters here. She's tweeting everything (lexicon), I got calls from producers at Summit yesterday. They said "I hear everything your saying Edi". Umm my favorite vampires to work with...all of them. But that's not so far from the truth there cause they are all fantastic. So much so that I woke up this morning and came close to shedding a tear. And I'm not that kind of guy either. I'm a man (very gruffy and loud). A mans man, i cry for no one.
We were wondering if you could speak in your Laurent voice?
You tell me what to say cause truth of the matter is, I forgot what I say. Something sexy...the moutherwatering part? (moderator...she wants to know how the drink is. maybe you could say the line to the drink) Okay. How could she leave you here...you are so mouthwatering. (this brought down the house)
If you were a girl what Twilight character would you date?
This game, this game. We used to play this game all the time. This or that, this or that...but if you had too. Haha if I was a girl which Twilight guy would I pick. Ahh clarification What twilight guy actor of twilight guy character? Both tell us both, you want to know everything. If I was a girl, what twilight character would i want to date is Edward. It would depend on what type a girl I was. No hey what I meant was..if I was a girl that was tuff it would be Edward but if I was like a normal girl then a human like Mike. Michael Nicolus Welch. And if I was a girl and which actor would I want to date....Edi Gathegi.
I wondered what it was to wear the Little Wayne like hair?
(Imitating Little Wayne) It's little weezy baby, it's little weezy baby. I walk around set like my name is Laurent you don't want to mess with me.
I wonder if you could do your best impression of one of the other actors?
I can't i never tried to study them. But I will do this for ya...She's not one of us! He gets mad when I say that. Hey guys how ya doing....She's not one of us. It's not even in the movie, they cut it.
I was just wondering what you think really happened between Laurent and Irena that she would want to slaughter a pack of werewolves for you?
What do you think happened! We showed her a whole new world (Singing). What would make you do that?
So that a lil talk about Edi

Now a little more on Rob Pattinson:
he believes that his character Edward Cullen is more a serial killer type of guy than the dreamboat kind of guy that his fans see him as.
Rob Pattinson has said that there is not much to love about his twilight character, Edward Cullen.
In fact he sees Edward as more a serial killer than a dreamboat.
He thinks that if Edward was a real person, he would be "one of those guys who would probably be an axe murderer or something"
Also, Rob wants everyone to know that he is not that kind of guy.
thought, opinions?
I would love to hear you feedback!!!
Hope you liked part two of my huge post.
happy blogging, again!!!
lets get the post off the ground with some talk about Edi, who plays the vampire Laurnet in Twilight and New Moon.
He has announced that he has seen new moon and that he saw it with the fabulous author stephenie meyer.
I have a transcipt of and interview with him, but check out his twitter, thats where he announced that he had seen new moon, im sure he'll update u fans when he can about more fab new moon news
Weirdest thing that happened on set?
idk. I tried to block out the weirdness but I can tell awkward. I can tell you and uncomfortable thing that happened on set, like an awkward thing, me being awkward. It was the first week of filming and we all went to dinner to get to know each other as an ice breaker. We are all sitting around the dinner table and I decide to make a toast. And this is Twilight right and not many people know what this is or what this may be. I had a hunch cause I had a friend that was into the books. So I decide to make this ridiculous toast and I say Guys we are on the forefront of something HUGE. This is amazing to be apart of, we're at the foundation of something that is really going to take off, guys this is amazing. Pleasure to be here with you guys. And they all looked at me like (crazy) what is he talking about? That was one of my most awkward moments BUT I was right.
What were your reaction to the screening of New Moon with Stephenie Meyer yesterday?
You guys if you haven't twittered yet, I saw New Moon yesterday. And I sat next to Stephenie Meyer. In a private theater that had like 10 seats. And I watched this gorgeous movie in front of me. And pound for pound I think you guys are gonna LLLLOOOOVVVVEEE it. I don't anyone is not going to love it. I think it's just a movie where everyone will love it. You know what my prediction is? There will be a whole new onslaught of twiguys. I think that's actually the biggest recommendation that you can get. Cause we already know that we have all the female fans. I think with this movie that people will be...this movie is just damn good. Hey Bruno...yeah. I saw New Moon it was good you should go see it. And that's what I think.
Lady walking out of the auditorium talking on her cell phone and Edi says...what is that phone call more important. Just for that I am going to make a call.
Let's see here. Talk amongst yourself as I figure out this gadget. You can't tell me who to call. I make the rules. It rang, it rang again. Hi I am going to put you on speaker phone in a sec. Okay how do we make this happen. Bad news has been delivered. I put the microphone to the ear. is she "she" going to be around at all? I will try later. bye. Sorry guys. He is watching New Moon right now. He won't pick up, he is watching himself right now. They are all in Vancouver watching the film right now together for the next few hours. I called Stephenie Meyer. I thought cause this is Phoenix I thought it would be cool. But it's the thought that counts and I get and A for effort.
And that saying has never made sense to me cause effort starts with an "E". But everyone says "A" for effort so okay. Do you have the solution to that puzzle? (someone yells you get an E for effort) Right but people say A for effort, not phoenix? (in funny voice) In Phoenix we are literal people. You get an "E" for effort and it's capital and it starts the sentence. Jasper is dying to ask another question.
What is your favorite movie to be in?
My favorite movie that I was a part of or any movie I wish I was in? I'll do both and just save us a whole lot of trouble and time. my favorite movie that I have been in, that's a hard question. Can I say 2? Because of the wonder fantastic roller coaster that it is...Twilight. And then ahh for the over 18 crowd I was in a movie called Gone Baby Gone. And that was just a special thing cause I was just with some very talented heavy hittersin the acting world and I was just honored to be a part of it. And Ben Affleck is the most brilliant director thatI have ever worked with. People probably don't know that but he is genius. I had a wonderful time on that project. And ahh a movie I wish I was in and they both have to do with Kung Fu hussle. Genius movie, this movie made me cry. This movie made me laugh, milk out the nose laugh. Then it wowed me the choreography and the martial arts. It was like a, ya know, a Saturday morning cartoon meets a love story meets ya know a comedy. it's genius and then also kung fu....Kung Fu Panda cause it was just fun and I want to do voice overs for cartoons. I could do Saturday morning cartoons. Kelly...what's Kelly's occupation. We need to come up with a show based on Kelly. Dental? She's a dental assistant? Kelly the den...that's too sophisticated for saturday morning cartoon. She's like a cheer leading bunny, a rabbit that's Saturday morning. (Then Edi does his cartoon voice) I let you see me. I let you see me.
What is the craziest thing a fan has ever done to you?
Rewound myself...was this question asked yesterday? It was by you? Yea I can't answer that, it's super crazy. Just like use your imagination and that's it. But you know everyone has a different sort of imagination. So I still didn't say anything.
What was it like being a vampire?
What was it like to act like a vampire. I am going to interpret your question cause first off I don't know what it's like to be a vampire. What I decided, but first off Stephenie writes all these characters so wonderfully that the ground work is already set for you. but when further investigating what it is to be a vampire. The undead human that has no blood flowing through their veins or body doesn't have to breathe, doesn't have to sleep,. That is first off a very futile existence what do you find important. First of all you don't have to do anything. when you have no blood flowing through your body and you don't have to do so much as blink, life doesn't require that. Then every movement that you make is like a conscience one so to appear human is a conscience decision. Like if you want to have human mannerisms. Like you have to be trying to do that. But vampires don't have to do that. For me being a vampire was an exercise in stillness. The more still I could the more vampire I am. ya know. i am so powerful that I can go from here to there in a second that I don't have to put forth any effort i just know that I will do this (steps forward) and cut, they will put me over there, they'll start rolling again. As a human I am like ugh ugh ugh (moving with huge strides with heavy breathing) That's what it's like to be a vampire.
Would you ever want to movie into a directing role and if so, what would you like to direct?
Yes. yes. In about twenty years. i am a little weary of the people who go I'm cute, I'm a go to LA and be an actor. Cause people tell me I'm cute. it's not that easy. You have to learn how to do it. There is training you have to go through. if you wanna do it cause your cute, that's a good start but then you take classes and you learn how to act. So I not gonna be, I've been in movies so I can direct. No, I am going to learn how to do that but right now I am focusing on acting and figuring that out. Then as my career continues I want to venture off and do other things but that takes time. Yeah, that's my final answer.
How do you feel about filming using a different director for New Moon?
Umm thank you for asking me that question. I would have answered it if you said Eclipse but for some reason I had a feeling it was going to be an Eclipse question and I was going to storm off. Just for a show and come back. i think thatas an actor whenever you do a movie you are working with a new director so for us it doesn't really make a difference. It feels kinda natural. That's my final answer and i am sticking with it.
We have something special xxxx went and got you a frappacino. That was you...so if I take a sip of this and I fall down we will all know who did it. You know what you can say that all you want but if i slip and fall, you rufeed me. Oh now I can't drink it, she said she knows CPR and you guys are all out to get me. This is a conspiracy. Should I drink this? wow anticipation. Oh that's heaven. Opened up a can of worms. I'm more interested in this now.
Have you and Mike ever thought of doing stand up together?
Has anyone ever thought about doing stand up together? No my question back to him is has there ever been two people in the history of comedy that are like, let's do a routine together. Touce. Yeah umm Mike. I know you are back there. Michael? Michael Nicolus Welch? That's not his middle name I just made it up to sound authoritative and parental. Umm no we haven't but i was going to bring him out here to see if it would work. Would you watch it? What do you think....could we sell tickets? In an auditorium and have people laughing? People would be like...go that was just joy (in a funny voice). That was a lot of fun wasn't it Margaret. Margaret, another name I just pulled out.
When you read the books is there actors that you had pictured for the parts?
For the other actors or for me? That's a good question. I wish I had a good answer for you but i didn't spend a lot of time thinking about what actors would best fit the roles that were available. Partly because I was busy.
What was your favorite vampire to work with?
That's a dangerous question. You are going to P.O. somebody. Umm I know there not here but twitters here. She's tweeting everything (lexicon), I got calls from producers at Summit yesterday. They said "I hear everything your saying Edi". Umm my favorite vampires to work with...all of them. But that's not so far from the truth there cause they are all fantastic. So much so that I woke up this morning and came close to shedding a tear. And I'm not that kind of guy either. I'm a man (very gruffy and loud). A mans man, i cry for no one.
We were wondering if you could speak in your Laurent voice?
You tell me what to say cause truth of the matter is, I forgot what I say. Something sexy...the moutherwatering part? (moderator...she wants to know how the drink is. maybe you could say the line to the drink) Okay. How could she leave you here...you are so mouthwatering. (this brought down the house)
If you were a girl what Twilight character would you date?
This game, this game. We used to play this game all the time. This or that, this or that...but if you had too. Haha if I was a girl which Twilight guy would I pick. Ahh clarification What twilight guy actor of twilight guy character? Both tell us both, you want to know everything. If I was a girl, what twilight character would i want to date is Edward. It would depend on what type a girl I was. No hey what I meant was..if I was a girl that was tuff it would be Edward but if I was like a normal girl then a human like Mike. Michael Nicolus Welch. And if I was a girl and which actor would I want to date....Edi Gathegi.
I wondered what it was to wear the Little Wayne like hair?
(Imitating Little Wayne) It's little weezy baby, it's little weezy baby. I walk around set like my name is Laurent you don't want to mess with me.
I wonder if you could do your best impression of one of the other actors?
I can't i never tried to study them. But I will do this for ya...She's not one of us! He gets mad when I say that. Hey guys how ya doing....She's not one of us. It's not even in the movie, they cut it.
I was just wondering what you think really happened between Laurent and Irena that she would want to slaughter a pack of werewolves for you?
What do you think happened! We showed her a whole new world (Singing). What would make you do that?
So that a lil talk about Edi
