The Anti-Hero!
Twilight may be mainly a love story between a vampire and a human, but Robert Pattinson didn’t shy away from delving into the intricacies of his character Edward! “I like the fact that he’s sort of a hero character that so violently denies that he’s in any way a hero at any point,” Robert shares. “Even when he does heroic acts. Every single step he makes he thinks is a mistake, but really he’s kind of doing as best he can, actually. I think he’s really quite nice. He’s very humble.”
Rain, Rain, Go Away!Weather was a major factor during the filming that took place in Oregon, as you can tell from the hail-storm that occured on one of the days Popstar! was on set! “It’s so difficult,” Robert laughs. “I mean, every single day you have to prepare for, like, seven scenes –’if it’s cloudy with a little bit of sun, we’ll do this. If it’s pure sunny we’ll do this’– because I can’t come out in the sun ever so I have such specific work conditions. And then today, it went from being perfect to being a complete monsoon, and then as soon as we leave set it’s perfect again. It’s just impossible! It’s like, ‘Quick, just get anything! Just film anything!”
Movie Magic!
In a movie about vampires, you can bet there are going to be some supercool special effects–and Kristen Stewart shares her personal fave surreal movie moment! “[Arm] socket is ripped!” she jokes about the scene in which she experiences Edward’s superhuman speed first hand. “He grabs my hand and just [throws me over onto his back] and Rob can do it because he’s a big man. It was fun. It was great. Wirework is pretty fun. I’m not too afraid of heights and it was a cheap thrill!”
The Perfect Match!
It was not easy casting the “right” Bella and Edward–especially with legions of readers to impress! But Kristen tells us that things just clicked when Robert auditioned for the role. “Not to put down any of the other actors who came in that were really good, but there was just something, like purely just connection,” she describes. “Everybody came in playing Edward like a happy-go-lucky guy. It’s like, ‘You’ve been alive for 108 years, you’re in Purgatory! What are you doing???’ It takes away from that love story, it takes away from that change in him. I got, like, really hardcore pain from [Robert]–not that he’s in pain now, but he definitely had that going on and that’s what Edward needs.”
Lights, Camera, Action!
The stage is set for the big prom scene for Bella and Edward, but Kristen says there was another specific moment from the book that she was most looking forward to filming! “I kind of can’t wait to do a scene that everybody calls ‘The Meadow Scene,’” she says, referring to the first time Edward lets Bella see him in the sunlight. “It’s hefty. Thats a heavy one.”
