Robert Pattinson says Kristen Stewart is fierce

You can listen the interview HERE or listen on Youtube - bottom of the post

The Twilight vampire told Merrick, Dools and Ricki-Lee that meeting the 20-year-old actress for the first time was "weird".

"It was weird. I mean, everything about the pairing with Kristen kind of worked out for the story," he said.

"I went in to the audition having absolutely no idea of what to do and because of the way she was playing it kind of shocked me into doing a performance that I didn't realise I could do.

"I guess she brings a kind of toughness and also a kind of mystery to Bella, which is not really there in the book.

"She's kind of in a lot of ways, a damsel in distress in the book, and Kristen's very...there's a kind of fierce fierceness behind her, which I didn't really expect the actress who played Bella would have."

The British actor said he is still surprised at the success of Twilight and that its success puts a certain pressure on him.

"In the beginning I had no idea. It seems to get bigger and bigger and bigger every week that is going past," he said.

"I feel pressure to live up to making a good movie, but I mean the expectations are so diverse.""

Robert Pattinson: He’s a lover and a fighter

The love stuff comes easy to Robert Pattinson by now. What the actor’s most worried about is how his fight scenes with bigger, brawnier Taylor Lautner will look in the third Twilight movie, Eclipse.

Grisly deaths plague Seattle. Vampires fight werewolves. Vampires and werewolves unite to battle, um, badder vampires.

Apparently, the filmmakers are doing all they can to make Eclipse, the third movie in the Twilight saga, appealing to boys. But we all know this series is really about the relationship between dreamy vampire Edward Cullen and his human love, Bella. And the core female audience should have plenty to moon over when the second sequel hits screens this month, just seven months after the last entry, New Moon.
“In New Moon, Edward tries to deal with the relationship and, sort of, fails,” Robert Pattinson, who plays Cullen, says in an L.A. interview. “In Eclipse, it really is the everyday rigmarole of having a relationship, and dealing with jealousy and pettiness.”

Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella, says it’s not that simple. After all, her character is still torn between Edward and the feelings she has for her lifelong friend, Native American lycanthrope Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). “Bella now has to actually be able to stand up and say, okay, so maybe every choice isn’t completely impulsive,” explains Stewart in a separate L.A. interview. “Maybe there are different levels of love, and maybe my ideological views of what I think you are to me are wrong, and maybe I could look at somebody else.”



That said, it still seems Eclipse offers more for the guys than just a good bet the movie will put their dates in a romantic mood. The film was directed by David Slade, who last time out made the gory vampire action thriller 30 Days of Night. Slade is, perhaps, a bit more attuned to what men want than Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke (The Nativity Story) and Chris Weitz (About a Boy, The Golden Compass), who helmed New Moon.

“Different worlds collide in this one,” says Stewart. “We make it more dangerous every time.”

This time out, the lissome, ethereal-looking Pattinson has to get more physical with the pumped-up Lautner, and he just hopes audiences buy their fight scenes.

“There is a bunch of fighting,” says the 24-year-old Brit. “In the most simplistic of ways, trying to be intimidating to Taylor is just physically humiliating. In one scene, I tried to grab him and his shoulder was too big! That was embarrassing.”

While physical strength may not be Pattinson’s, well, strength, he does have an uncanny ability to brood and smoulder in a way that drives the ladies nuts. But while it works well on-screen, that low-key nature can also come off as aloof, even falsely self-deprecating, off-screen. And Pattinson’s the first one to admit it.

“The problem is, mainly, that I’m really finicky about looking pretentious for some reason,” he says. “I think, because I haven’t done too much work and I’ve become so, kind of, big, people have a hyper-judgment of you. I always thought the best way to deal with that is just to kind of play down everything. But I never saw the result of that being people saying, ‘Why can’t you just shut up? We’re so sick of the humble act. When’s he going to stop pretending to be humble?’”

As of this article’s writing, it had yet to be decided whether Stephenie Meyer’s fourth and final "Twilight" novel, "Breaking Dawn", would be made into one or two films. Either way, production should start in Vancouver (where New Moon and Eclipse were shot) this fall. “British Columbia is great,” says Pattinson. “Everybody always talks about how easy it is to make movies in Vancouver because no one cares if anyone’s around. And it really was like that with New Moon. It was so easy, there was never any hassle about going out or anything. But it changed a little bit on the third one. “But,” he adds, “there are a bunch of nice restaurants in Vancouver, and it’s a really cool city.”

The pair views the impending end of the film series with mixed feelings. On the plus side, it will likely put the brakes on the intrusive tabloid scrutiny they’ve endured. So far, at least, Twihard fans have expressed little interest in Stewart and Pattinson’s non-saga movies (like The Runaways and Remember Me, respectively), and the paparazzi will likely thin out once they have nothing left to obsess over, such as those still unproven rumours of a real-life romance between the handsome pair.

Then again, they may not know what to do — or what they’ll be able to do — when the post-Breaking break comes.

“I think it’s good that I’ve just been working this whole time,” Pattinson says of the past two years. “You don’t go out and do that much when you’re shooting anyway, because you’re just so tired all the time. So it hasn’t been that incapacitating. But it’s been difficult to figure out where to live and stuff; I mean, the idea of getting a house… If people are always waiting outside your home, then you might as well sell it.

“And I miss just randomly dropping into clubs and playing music,” adds the actor, who pursued a recording career before moviemaking proved more lucrative. “That’s annoying. But really, you can still do anything you want to do; it’s just the fear of judgment afterward.”

In keeping, perhaps, with her screen persona, Stewart, now 20, sounds more torn about the series’ conclusion.
Eclipse

“The interesting thing about wanting it to come to an end is not because you want the experience of it to end,” Stewart says. “The experience that I get from it is so different from what press and media or fans or whatever see. I actually get to make the movies. Most of the questions I hear are about how specifically my life has changed because of that, but that’s really sort of extra. I didn’t know that that was going to happen. I’ve never had more opportunity in my life and I’ve worked really hard for it. So I’m really grateful.”

As for Eclipse, Stewart says that, whether they’re seeking monster action or are hungry for unattainable love, viewers are in for a taste of — believe it or not — reality.

“It matures, basically,” she says. “It takes a really ideal story and makes it a little more cerebral. It’s like, so what if you actually had to do this? It takes away the fantasy element a little bit and shows you that it’s not so, sort of, dreamy.”

Rob, Eclipse and Bel Ami in Italian Magazines - Best Movie and Ciak (Scans + Translation)

Best Movie Magazine




Ciak Magazine



Translation of the main article - Best Movie Magazine

Ciak, starting! It’s night, the rain is falling unrelentingly while a boy is escaping terrified. His destiny is doomed. University student Riley Bears will be only the first of the newborns that will form the invincible army of vampires, created by Victoria to carry out her revenge. This is the opening scene of Eclipse, that is not actually in the novel by Stephenie Meyer. Lacking of faithfulness? Absolutely not. It is only one of the many “inventions” created by screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg in the adaption of the Twilight Saga for the big screen, necessary to pass from the first person POV of the novels to the universality of the movie story.

Melissa Rosenberg spent hours on the phone with Stephenie Meyer, to be told all the backstages of Eclipse, e to deepen the past of all the characters, even the minor ones. So she discovered that Riley was chosen by Victoria because he came just from Forks…..a coincidence?

Since from its cinematic birth, the Saga had to distinguish itself, from episode to episode, for atmosphere and plot. So Catherine Hardwicke was perfect for Twilight, raw and realistic story. Chris Weitz showed with realism the complex emotions of New Moon. David Slade was the one being able to let come out on the surface the contrasting feelings that split Bella in Eclipse, while the task to sum up the saga with the two final episodes has been committed to Bill Condon.

Eclipse bring to light some secrets, from the legend of the third wife, kept by Quileute tribe, to the story of the transformation of Jasper and Rosalie. In the movie, their past is shown in two flashbacks, that took some poetic licences, such as the places where they were developing, that are different from the ones in the novel.

During the work on the draft of the screenplay, Melissa Rosenberg and David Slade worked together. The director designed the scenes he wanted to introduce in a sort of storyboard, and Melissa translated it in words.

Three different sets were in hand for the Eclipse troupe. 700-800 people in total worked there.

David Slade, together with director of photography Javier Aguirresarobe, worked a lot also on colours, using different shades according to the situations, even if he preferred to use warm colours, generally. Cullens are represented with cold colours. Werewolves distinguish themselves for preponderance of red colour ( both Jacob’s car and house are of that colour, like Bella’s pick up, originally belonged to Billy ). Warm Earth colours, instead, have been used to describe Forks citizens.

Special effects of Eclipse have been realized by Image Engine, with headquarters in Vancouver, the same who created the aliens in CGI for District 9.

One of the most difficult scene to translate for Rosenberg, was the one of the fight between Edward and Jacob, when this last one steals a kiss from Bella. “It was complicated to create a conversation without degenerating into insults!”. Even the costume designer Tish Monaghan have had her hard work. Trying to avoid that Edward looked too thin and pale in front of his muscular rival, gave him more mass putting on him more layers of suits.

Kristen Stewart, before beginning to shoot Eclipse, has to cut off and darken her hair to play Joan Jett in The Runaways. The result? On the set she had to wear three different wigs to enter in Bella’s character.

When the shootings came from Portland ( where Twilight was shoot ) in Vancouver ( both New Moon and Eclipse ), has been necessary to rebuilt totally some buildings, like Bella’s home, for the second movie, or the Cullen’s home, where the post graduation party took place. So two of the three flats of the house have been rebuilt inside a studio of 1850 mq. Even the access drive, the garage and a part of the forest have been recreated.

Among the various “inventions” adopted by Rosenberg, there is also the scene of the speech during the graduation, spoke by Jessica, performed by Anna Kendrick, seen beside George Clooney and nominated to the Oscars for the movie Up in the Air.

The actors needed two hours of make up to be ready. As Ashley Green, alias Alice Cullen, told: “ The hair, the make up and the dresses are a great help to put me in the shoes of the character. Two hours are necessary for the white make up of the body, the yellow contact lenses and the pixie wig”.

Kellan Lutz, alias Emmett, convinced the production to let him perform many stunt scenes.

Bryce Dallas Howard, who replaced Rachelle Lefevre for the role of Victoria, was originally the first choice of Stephenie Meyer for this role.

To convey the speed effect of the vampires, tapis roulant have been used, pulled by trucks or golf carts, on which the actors have to run. Image Engine also added special effects, like wind on leaves or earth raising, to make even more real the run effect.

The scene with the newborns coming out from the water created many problems. Staying so long in the water make the make up melted, so the entire make up crew must be in the water together with the stunts, to retouch the colour of the skin until the last second.

The legend of the third wife, narrating to Bella during the bonfire, has been shown in the movie with a flashback, for this an entire ancient Quileute village has been rebuilt.

Tippet Studio has to work differently on the wolves compared to New Moon. Chris Weitz, in fact, pointed a lot on their humanity, e made them used their paws like hands. David Slade, on the contrary, wanted to make standing out the animal essence of the wolves, that use their mouth in prehensile way, and the paws only to keeop their balance.

The wolves’ fur has been made more realistic, tripling the four millions of hair with an inedited operation that needed more than 6 months of work.
