Interview With Richard Sherman: Production Designer on Isle Esme Location
December 2, 2011
Architectural Digest has covered the Isle Esme house before, almost a year ago (see Lexicon coverage here). Now they are back talking specifics with Richard Sherman.
ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST: How did you choose the Bernardes + Jacobsen house for Edward and Bella’s Brazilian honeymoon?RICHARD SHERMAN: We looked at pictures and found a house we loved. But two days later we learned it was going to be blown up because it had been built illegally. The next morning I got on a plane to Brazil, hopped on a boat, and went through countless islands along the coastline south of Rio. It took us four weeks to finally find the Bernardes + Jacobsen house, which had a tropical modern interior and was located near Paraty on the coast that we liked.
AD: Did you change anything about the house?RS: For the movie we actually created our own exterior—what’s visible when you approach the house by boat—in the visual effects department. What you see of the real house is the front door, the steps leading up to it, the veranda, and all those glass doors. I loved the interior. We made a big open kitchen and living room. Some of the scenes that take place inside the house were actually shot on soundstages in Louisiana, where we created a courtyard, a bathroom, and the bedroom where Edward and Bella spend their wedding night. It was a seamless set—you really couldn’t tell the difference between the house and our stages.
AD: How closely did you follow the descriptions in the book when filming in Brazil?
RS: In some cases we really veered away from the book. What works well on the page doesn’t always work well on film. The location was challenging. Stephenie Meyer, who wrote the novels, set the honeymoon on an island in the middle of nowhere. Brazil is famous for its many islands down the coastline from Rio to Paraty. When you look out from the location where we shot, you don’t just see a horizon of water, as she wrote, but all these beautiful tropical islands. In the end it all worked out very well.

Interview With Janelle Froehlich: Yvette of the French Coven
December 2, 2011
The ladies over at The Pattinson POst have a great interview with Janelle Froehlich who plays Yvette in the French Coven. Also see our interview below where we caught Melissa Rosenberg off guard and got her to talk about this new coven.
In our exclusive interview below, she talks about a variety of things, including what it was like to work with Robert Pattinson. She also shares a bit about the French Coven that she is part of with actor Amadou Ly. Neither of their characters were in the original Stephenie Meyer book, but were created for Breaking Dawn Part 2.
Pattinson Post: What led you to audition for Breaking Dawn? How did you find out you got the role?
Janelle Froehlich: This is an interesting story. I had just graduated with my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy, and accepted a job offer to work as a therapist at a high school in the San Francisco Bay Area. Now, throughout graduate school in Los Angeles, I was also auditioning and working as an actor. But, I decided to move and pursue my career as a therapist – until I got the phone call. Two weeks before I was supposed to start my job, my acting manager called and asked me, “Do you still want to take that job in San Francisco? You’ve been booked on Breaking Dawn.” Needless to say, I hopped on a plane for filming in Baton Rouge, LA. In fact, my supervisor at the high school (where I would have worked) was a big fan of The Twilight Saga, and encouraged me to go for it!

Both Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson Get Waxed
December 1, 2011
Both Taylor Lautner and robert Pattinson are having their images added to Madame Tussaud’s. Rob already has his likeness in the New York and London sites and now he can add china. Taylor is a complete newbie.
According to MTV
If you’ve been yearning for a life sized replica of Taylor Lautner that you can keep in your house, snuggle up to when it’s cold and take into your room at night for secret whisper parties…well, that’s really weird, we’re not gonna lie. But guess what: You’re about to get half your wish! Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum in London has announced its figures-to-be for 2012, and Taylor is top of the list after becoming one of this year’s most requested personalities ever to be rendered in wax. (So, to be clear: lifesize replica, yes. Latenight cuddling with a fake Tay-Tay, no. But hey, you can stand next to him and get your picture taken!)
So when will it be Kristen’s turn? we want to know!
