Closest to what Stephenie imagined in her head  when writing

Lee Pace as Garrett

Valorie Curry as Charlotte

Mia Maestro as Carmen

Stephenie: first vamp Bella scene filmed was Christmas Scene and Steph was doing a “quiet happy dace” because Kristen was so go as vamp Bella

Steph: ending isn’t alternative ending. Part of end are not Bella’s POV. There are things that happen but we don’t know it because Bella doesn’t see it

Step and Melissa over a steakhouse dinner figured out how to put in action but not violate the original story

Stephenie writes best at night. During day it’s impossible with kids being up. As to what is next for her it’s The Host.

On Humor:

Steph: everyting in tongue in cheek in my head, Bill has natural talent for humor

Melissa: BD1 not as much humor, but BD2 with new vamps especially Garrett give opprtunity for snarky humor, Taylor too

Stephenie on Nessie

Hard to figure out how to do it.

Needed younger actress who could act older

Thank GOd technlogy could do it. Mackenzie was old soul in young body. Unreal that she was 9 and 10

They CGied her face using Mackenzie’s facial expresssion on younger version

ON dream was she visited?—this interviewer is cwazzzy

No she doesn’t think she was visited. Stephenie wrote teh dream within 15 minutes of having it

Downside to Vampire”

Edward resists happiness, thinks he doesn’t deserve it. Has seen many unhappy vamps and doesn’t want Bella to feel that way

Big drawback it’s forever,  like tatoos “thinngs I was into 10 years ago thank God I didn’t tatoo them on my body”

It’s superpowers with a cost how do you deal with it all

Wyck

Last shot was beach St. Thomas on midnight swim reshoot and they eneded as Danw broke literally

Steph

Does she thnk Jacob and renseme have kids what are they like

She has it all in there in her head

She now has the actors in her head in a sense they corrupted her imagination

She’s not sure if she will revisit them

Wyck Goddfery says we keep sending her George Luicus press releases

Steph

Krsiten awseom momma bear 

Mackenzie loved by all

Will she let others play in her universe

She says I don’t know I’m very hands on. It doesn’t always ring right, but in 10 years who knows

When asked if there will be travelling show of Props and costumes like the Potter:

Steph says you’d have to ask marketing team

He’ll be up soon

On his daughter’s opinion of the book:

She originallly told him he was suppose dto be bald and was annoyed her dad was encroaching on “her thing”

She’s now OK with it.

On comic vs. evil Aro

He thinks he’s a sentimental old fool watching the yyoung and then kills them for amusement

He thinks Aro gets board and tries to amuse himself.

He actually even creeped himself out on how sadistic and ruthless and insanity he has

Jokes he has red eyes naturally.  He was used to it from teh underworld lenses. But it was the first time he had to wear them longer and his were larger than rest of cast practically colored whole eye. Someone else had to put them in whole audience is sqimish in the description

Looking at series through a TwiHArd’s eyes reflection:

In retrospect feels like he has an insider but oursider view. He doesn’t get recognized often until parents recognize him then their kids go crazy. He thinks fans like his daughter will really appreciate it

Thinks Bill Condon is sensitive to fans and Bella’s journey

He’s seen film twice he crys at the end “goodness knows what 14 year old girls will do”

On vamp camp

Enjoyed working with others

Loves vamp films and each generation reinvents it. 

Comparing Aro to Tony Blair

One is a self delusional psycho and the other is Aro

Aro has insaity that goes beyond Blair.

Battle scene:

Shot for weeks  in a sound stage.

He asked for a warm costume thinking it would be outdoors and surprise indoors in warm Lousiaina

on dance off was done to Sweet dreams by Eurithmics

Strangest encounter

in dressing room in LA came out to look in mirror and 2 young kids were there screaming at him ” And he thought “I’ll take these jeans I look good”

Advice to himself if he could og back in time:

Good talk to go to therapy to be on set around gorgeous young people. i felt like and old fat Welshman
