It’s been a busy few weeks for Twilight and its related world. No sooner does Warner Bros. move Harry Potter from fall to summer, then Twilight seizes the open weekend now coming just prior to Thanksgiving.
Sara Castillo at FEARnet was able to catch up with some of cast and chatted about how each of them tapped into their respective inner vampires. FM now recaps on the highlights of each interview.
Both LeFevre and Pattinson commented that in playing their roles as vampires, each of them first had to figure out their characters before they were infected, which adds a tragic appeal towards the characters.
Rachelle LeFevre who plays Victoria in the film is an evil nomatic vampire who is the mate of James, another vampire that becomes obsessed with Bella. Her mission is to hunt down Bella and her vampire love interest Edward to make their lives a living hell.
Robert Pattinson plays Edward Cullen, the star vampire in the films who doesn’t understand his existence, and according to Pattinson is constantly thinking, “I want to die, or be a human because being a vampire is so utterly pointless.” He becomes consumed by his love for Bella, a human being, whom his first instincts would be to eat and kill—not love. Pattinson’s method involves believing that “he was just this normal guy who just got bitten.”
Edi Gathegi plays Laurent, the one good vampire stuck in a coven of evil blood-sucking vampires. His technique is “Everything is delicious to [him]” and since he is a party guy at heart, “[his] vampire just wants to know where the action is.”
Castillo was also able to chat with creator Stephenie Meyer and director Catherine Hardwick. Meyers and Hardwick could not be happier with the frenzy of fans of all ages in anticipation for their upcoming release. They say it has “confirmed [their] assumption that everything is cooler when vampires are telling story.”
