The New Moon press junket has just wrapped up in Los Angeles, and here are the most interesting things we learned (thanks to the Celebuzz and HitFixDaniel Twitter accounts).
Note: The below information was copied from Twitter so there may be typing/grammatical mistakes.
Rob Pattinson:
- Rob says he thinks “Breaking Dawn” is tentatively scheduled to begin shooting next fall. But he isn’t sure.
- Rob says that loads and loads of apparition footage we shot and have been cut out. And he’s happy with that.
- “I think it’s actually a *fact* that Edward would win. If I read the books correctly.” Rob on Edward vs. Jacob
- “He is like a saint. He’s one of the best people I’ve ever met.” – Pattinson is a big Chris Weitz fan.
- Robs most romantic move: I put a rose on a girls locker when I was 15, or maybe I was 14. She thought it was someone else, and he claimed it
- Who is ready for DVD extras? Rob said “There have been loads and loads of the apparition scenes cut out.”
- On Rob’s appearances in New Moon: I was so worried that it was going to be random scenes
Taylor Lautner:
- Taylor tells us we’ve seen his every move, so we can judge for ourselves if he’s dating Taylor Swift. [Or if we care?]
- “There couldn’t be a better end to my teenage years. I am spending time doing what I love and spending time w/ people I love.”
- One of Taylor’s fav Eclipse scenes is when Edward has to let Bella sleep in the same sleeping bag with Bella so she doesnt freeze to death.
- Taylor on Taylor [Swift] writing songs about him?: “That’s a scary thing. I don’t know if she has, I have no idea.”
- Taylor would be willing to take his shirt off for another role if that’s what it requires. He says he never said “never”.
Kristen Stewart:
- “I’m very protective of her. I feel a shared ownership. It’s weird. ” K-Stew on her relationship w/Bella
- “I know what it’s like to be broken up with, but I don’t know what it’s like to be broken up with by a vampire.” -K-Stew
- “Bryce is scary. She’s really oddly sweet as well.” – K-Stewart on Bryce Dallas Howard’s Victoria.
Director Chris Weitz:
- “I genuinely think it’s one of the best soundtrack albums that’s ever been done.” It’s very indie.
- “You don’t want too much Edward, because you lose the really important sense of missing him.”
- “The way Edward looks during the hallucinations is like a candle flickering. ”
Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg:
- “They’re in the book and it seemed unwise to leave them out.” -Melissa Rosenberg on the myriad topless scenes.
Ashley Greene:
- Ashley says she got to drive the sports car on the Italian roads. Two takes and they nailed it.
Dakota Fanning:
- She is the only Volturi actor who actually got to film in Italy. The rest of the filming with Volturi was actually in Vancouver!
Wolf Pack:
- Chaske Spencer on cold outside while filming – You could cut glass with our nipples.
- While the Cullens are lightened, the wolfpack is actually bronzed and made darker for the film.
- The wolves haven’t seen the film yet, they wanted to wait until it was done with the soundtrack added and everything.
- All 4 of the wolves here have tattos that had to be covered. They are thinking about getting the actual Quileute wolfpack tattoo together!
