Have you ever wondered just how a movie cast? What is the process? What types of decisions are made and why? Well, wonder no more! Lana Veenker, one of the principal casting directors for the Twilight movie, explains a lot of what goes into the casting a film, and in particular, Twilight.
Highlights include:
"But actors reading for small day player parts also need to understand that it isn’t a movie about Waiter #3. If the character’s only line is "Would you like some more coffee?", the
actor should just say the line, simply and believably."
"Besides possessing the right look, charisma and acting chops, the actor needed to be someone who could grow into the character that Jacob becomes in the sequels."
"But we also saw some adorable little girl actresses for the role of Young Bella (seen in the ballet studio scenes) and some pretty mean Frat Boys (who threaten Bella in Port Angeles)."
We want to thank Lana for taking the time to explain things to us. We’d also like to thank Cocoa for acting as our interviewer.
