Pattinson, Stewart, Lautner Talk “New Moon”!

One week to go. 

With only one week to go before “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” opens, ComingSoon has interviews with the eagerly anticipated film’s three stars: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner. Here are excerpts and links to each interview.

From the Robert Pattinson interview:

Q: Do you appreciate Edward more with each movie and what are your favorite parts about him?
Pattinson: It’s funny about “New Moon.” When I read “New Moon” it gave me ideas about how to play the first one and it’s the one that I connected to the most and the one that humanized Edward the most for me as well. In the first one he still does remain from beginning to end an idealistic character but in the second one he makes a mistake that’s acknowledged by everybody including himself. Also he’s totally undermined by more powerful creatures and he’s undermined emotionally by people as well. I think that’s what humanized it. Since I’ve read that book I’ve always kind of liked him as a character. I try to play that same feeling throughout the first one and after the third one, as well, trying to get some kind of element of an all powerful person or almost all powerful person, the kind of hero of a story who just refuses to accept that he’s the hero. I think there’s something admirable there. I don’t know if I really made any sense.

From the Kristen Stewart interview:

Q: You’ve talked about living in the moment, enjoying it. Is there a memory from the set that you’ll always take with you?
Stewart: The one moment that really [stands out], throughout the filming of “New Moon,” we wrapped in Italy. The last thing that I did I was running through a square through a bunch of people just around this corner, one little part of that montage where I’m running through there. There were so many people around and there was so much energy. You could feel everyone was expecting the done date, that we were almost finished. I can’t turn off, I need to fully and completely on up until that very last moment. I remember the second that we wrapped. I said at Comic-Con that my favorite moment of “New Moon” was when we wrapped and people took that the wrong way. It wasn’t like I was so glad to be done. It was the most memorable moment for me because I literally fell apart. I literally went [gasps]. I almost couldn’t handle it. It was the coolest experience that I’ve had on a movie. One of the coolest experiences I’ve had on a movie so far. Chris [Weitz, director] was there and it was something that we had together really. I just felt really good and that’s the most memorable experience.

From the Taylor Lautner interview:

Q: No holds barred fight, who would win, Jacob or Edward. Same thing with you and Rob?
Lautner: Oh man. I don’t know between me and Rob. He actually does a lot of boxing in his time off, so it might be a good match-up. Jacob, we were actually discussing this on set, it’s funny we were like “who would win in a fight between Jacob and Edward,” because there’s a scene outside Bella’s house where Edward grabs my shoulder and he’s mad at me and Jacob doesn’t take that. So he takes his arm and rips it off. And at that moment, Jacob would transform into a wolf and we’re having this discussion that got really deep, we’re like “if I were to poof into a wolf right now, what would happen? Who would win?” I don’t know, our discussion points were like “usually, we’re with our pack so if I’m without my pack, am I gonna be weaker?” So I honestly don’t know. That discussion is still up in the air. We should probably get Stephenie Meyer on the line and ask her.

Each interview is pretty long with a good array of questions, so if you’re a fan, you absolutely should take the time to check them out.
