Admitting to Loving Twilight
Last year in December, I was in Barnes & Noble (Corte Madera) moving from one shelf to another searching for the Twilight Saga Hardcover Collection (Box Set) only to realise that they were under the young adult section! I stood still (few shelves away) for a good ten minutes contemplating on whether I should get them or not. You see, I am not exactly someone who you would call young adult, far from it in fact. So, today when I saw this article via New Moon Movie taken from Washington Post I was laughing so hard I have tears in my eyes. It was hard to admit that I was in love with the Twilight Saga back then. But today, I am more than happy to offer the information and have no shame to even convert one or two by the end of the day! Enjoy the article everyone, probably you can tell me your experience too? ;-) - Lydia
Via @ New Moon Movie
The Washington Post has a great article on intelligent, literary women loving the Twilight Saga and not being ashamed.
All across the country, there were women who managed to avoid Stephenie Meyer’s series about a star-crossed human/vampire teen couple. (Vampire Edward lusts for mortal Bella, but also for her blood; the books are less plot than endless yearning). They resisted the first three books — refused to read them, didn’t know they existed — and the lunacy that was “Breaking Dawn.”
“Twilight” came for the tweens, then for the moms of tweens, then for the co-workers who started wearing those ridiculous Team Jacob shirts, and the resisters said nothing, because they thought “Twilight” could not come for them. They were too literary. They didn’t do vampires. They were feminists.
One minute you’re a functioning member of society, the next you’re succumbing to the dark side, wondering how deep you’re willing to go — and what that longing says about you.
In “Twilight,” Edward Cullen waffled between wooing and eating new girl Bella Swan. He chose love. In “New Moon,” the darkest installment of the series, Edward becomes convinced that his girlfriend would be safer without him, so he dumps her in order to protect her and then vanishes. Bella, catatonic from the pain, finds solace in Jacob Black, the devoted friend who has just learned he is a werewolf, and their relationship grows deeper, and this description is utterly, utterly useless because none of it gets at what the “Twilight” series is actually about, which is being 17.
It’s a time capsule to the breathless period when the world could literally end depending on whether your lab partner touched your hand, when every conversation was so agonizing and so thrilling (and the border between the two emotions was so thin), and your heart was bigger and more delicate than it is now, and everything was just so much more.
More after the break!
It’s just a movie. It’s just a movie. It’s just a movie.
It’s just a movie — well, movie and books — but it’s a movie that’s come to represent such big things, from the future of girls to what women really want (they want men who will shut up and come to watch “New Moon,” and not ask how many points they’re getting for the evening).
Men feel perfectly comfortable slathering their chests in greasepaint and screaming like half-naked ninnies at football games, but women too often over-explain their passions, apologizing for being too girly or liking something too trashy.
The grown women of “Twilight” will no longer apologize. They will go to those midnight “New Moon” screenings.
But as for telling them how silly they’re being, how Edward is not real and neither is Jacob, how their brains are rotting and their sense of reality is being distorted and this obsession is crazy, just crazy? There’s really no need.
They already know.
Yes we already know and we love it! Hi, my name is Jaypat and I’m a Twilight fan. LOL! It’s so true though. Aside from the great looking vampires and werewolves, it brings you back to a time when you’re 17 and everything was so much more. Great article!

Great Falls Tribune Article Provides Biographic Details for Chaske Spencer
CullenBoysAnonymous posted this interesting article about Chaske Spencer. Happy reading. -Liana- (via @cullenboysanonymous)
An article in the Great Falls Tribune,
local newspaper to small-town Poplar, Montana on the Fort Peck Indian
Reservation, where Chaske Spencer grew up, contains a lot of background
information of the man who would be Sam Uley.
“It’s OK,” he said about the ubiquity of screaming fans. “But I try not to get too caught up in it.”
Before moving to Poplar, Spencer’s first audition was in Lewiston,
Idaho, when he was 10 years old. He tried out for “You’re a Good Man,
Charlie Brown.”
In Poplar, his mom recalled her son singing in a Christmas play with
his school and attending a theater arts program in Helena during the
summer of 1987.
When Chaske was 17, some friends of his parents invited the family
to the First Americans in the Arts Awards in California. It was there
that he first crossed paths with Great Falls native Rene Haynes, a Los
Angeles-based casting director recognized for her Native American and
First Nations casting.
Chaske spent some time at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston
studying scenes, characters and film and video before deciding it was
time to hit the road to try his hand at acting in the Big Apple. With
$100 in his pocket and a one-way ticket, he headed to New York City.
What gave him the nerve to attempt such a feat?
“Pure stupidity. I don’t think I actually thought about it,” Chaske
said. “So, would I do it again? I probably would. I always liked taking
risks like that. I don’t recommend it to everybody.”
The struggling actor couch surfed until he found a job in two or
three days waiting tables. After that, his list of jobs included
bartending, catering and modeling.
He soon began training in his craft, taking acting classes and landing Dracula in an off off-Broadway production.
The woman he had met with his parents on their trip to California
cast him in the 2002 feature film “Skins,” about a Lakota Sioux tribal
police officer in South Dakota.
“She’s altered my life,” Chaske said about Haynes, a graduate of C.M. Russell High School.
Following “Skins,” Chaske appeared in Steven Spielberg’s TV
miniseries “Into the West,” before Haynes cast him in the “Twilight”
series.
“You knew he was going to get something big, but it was surprising
when he got a plum role like this,” Peterson said, and added that the
series’ author, Meyer, told the movie’s director that, when she
envisioned the Sam Uley character in the books, Chaske is whom she
envisioned.
For the film, where the majority of his screen time is spent
shirtless, Chaske said he worked with a trainer to gain 20 pounds of
muscle.
Chaske means “first-born son” in Lakota. He has two younger sisters,
and he is an enrolled member of the Assiniboine Sioux tribe on his
mother’s side and the Nez Perce tribe on his father’s side.
“It’s a double-edged sword,” he said. “I’ve lost roles because I
wasn’t Indian enough. I can’t figure it out, and I don’t want to waste
time trying to figure it out.”
Being Native got him the role of Sam, he added, for which he’s grateful.
“It’s cool because it’s very contemporary,” Chaske said. “It’s not all leather and feather.”

Interview with Rob in a Greek Magazine
Another interview with Rob Pattinson, thanks to ROBsessed! - Lydia
Via @ ROBsessed
Here is the translated interview:
This era’s icon
Whatt is it that makes millions of girls scream at every appearance of 23 year old Robert Pattinson? It is a reasonable male question, isn’t it?
In Harry Potter he went almost unnoticed. His potential to become an idol started showing with his lead role in “Twilight”. The second movie of the series, “New Moon”, has just come out making the biggest opening of all time with $72.7 million the first weekend worldwide, and a 300,000 tickets opening weekend in Greece.
The fascination associated with Pattinson now is many times bigger than the one associated with DiCaprio after the “Titanic”. So, there rises the inevitable question: What kind of icons are the ones needed in these times?
This is a guy who is much less of a rebel than the stars of the previous decades. He is clearly milder, more romantic and devoted to the one he falls in love with-in addition to that, he is obediently loyal to her. He seems to be something like that in real life as well. He doesn’t take advantage of his celebrity status, collecting female hearts. Not up until now, at least. According to magazines, he is the new, more sophisticated version of a pop star, going around with a book in his hand and choosing to play the piano instead of football. Girls swear that he has an underground charm, a mystery that comes from an inherent reservedness and the appearance of an indifferent, disheveled charmer.
The point is not for how long this kid will remain on the top of the “hot” list, but that every era has the icons it needs to find its balance.
(This was a little article in the first pages of the issue. I found it quite interesting and the Dean picture is quite suggesting. There was also an article exploring the Twilight phenomenon before the interview as well but it was nothing new.)
Interview
Q: How uncomfortable is it, being called the new Leonardo diCaprio?
A: I think it’s not fair, especially to him. He was nominated for an Oscar when he was eleven years old or something .I don’t consider myself to be his successor.
Q: Your face is now in every teenage girl’s room. How do you feel as a teenage idol?
A: It’s interesting. I never thought I would cause such reactions to people. I never thought that pale skin can be considered so sexy. But it’s funny. When I was in school, no one expected something like that from me. However, some years later, everything changed.
Q: Can you still walk on the street like a normal person though? You could become the victim of hoards of young girls.
A: Not really. Things change very fast in the big cities. When you’re in a restaurant, it makes sense for people to gather outside. On the other hand, it depends on how much you’re interested in something like that.
Q: You have a real passion for music. You also wrote a song for the first movie’s soundtrack. Have you left your music endeavors behind you or is there still room for rock music in your heart?
A: I’ve started playing a little bit more now. During the shooting of the third movie I wrote some songs. I don’t know if I’m going to do something with them.
Q: You have a band, if I’m not mistaken?
A: Not anymore. I used to have a band when I was fifteen. But music remains very important for me. I just don’t want to release an album now because it will be like Edward Cullen’s new album.
Q: So, is acting more important for you?
A: It is as important as music, but it is dangerous to give myself to both at the same time. I think it’s better to focus on one or the other.
Q: Is it annoying being confused with your character, Edward Cullen?
A: You just have to wait and see how people will take you. If people still see me as Edward Cullen in 25 years, I think I might have to murder someone.
Q: How’s the ideal date for you?
A: I have no idea. I’m not at all good at dating.
Q: Don’t you go out on dates in England, like in America?
A: We don’t “go out on dates” in England. If you go out with a girl once, then she’s your girlfriend. Otherwise, you’re a womanizer.
Q: So you’re monogamous?
A: Yes, one girl at a time!!!
Q: Many reviewers have said that Stephanie Meyer’s books are nothing more than a metaphor for sexual repression. Do you agree with that interpretation?
A: There is a meaning to the story, even without trying to find the hidden metaphors. I didn’t even know S. Meyer was a Mormon and it didn’t affect me at all when I learnt that.
Q: What are your favorite vampire movies?
A: I’ve always liked “Blade”.
Q: How about Jack Nicholson in Wolf?
A: Jack Nicholson in general. He is the reason I wanted to be an actor.
Q: How does it feel being in the company of other established stars?
A: The truth is that stars don’t particularly impress me. But I meet them when I go to talk shows. That’s when I get nervous because I try to be funny and smart at the same time. I try to find the right joke for the right moment and, damn, that’s not even my job.
Q: Do you ever dream of vampires?
A: No. And to be honest I rarely dream at all. It’s annoying.
Q: Together with Kristen Stewart you share the luck of having become famous with just one movie. How much have you bonded with her because of that?
A: It’s wonderful knowing that you’re working with people that are at the beginning of their career as well, covering the same distance. We are all at a very crucial point in our lives. I think we will never forget the days of Twilight.
Q: Are you at all excited with all the new fame you have gained?
A: Sometimes you give interviews and you’re so tired answering the same questions over again and saying different stuff. I gave 2 interviews recently to 2 magazines and when I read them one after the other they made me look like someone who wants to kill himself. I don’t know. It will probably take me a lot of time to realize what has happened to me.
(The interviewer was Sian Edwards for The Interview People-it doesn’t say when it was taken. Even in Greek, some things seemed kind of off… Like, he wasn’t answering exactly the question asked and that is probably a translation problem.)

Cullen Confession
Flare.com interviewed Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone and Kellan Lutz or famously known as Rosalie, Jasper and Emmett Cullen. Check it out! -Liana- (via @flare)
What happens when you get Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz, and Jackson
Rathbone in the same room? Well, a lot of laughs. But as the actors who
play Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper Cullen in the upcoming Twilight Saga: New Moon revealed to flare.com, there’s one thing they take very seriously: their roles as the big screen’s hottest vampires. —L.L.
FLARE: Jackson, the new movie opens up with
your big scene and it’s very intense. How did you prepare for that kind
of intensity right off the top?
Jackson: I was lucky to be coming off another film where I was doing a lot of kung fu training and fight training, so I was kind of in the mood to keep fighting. And it was a lot of fun to figure out the choreography with the stunt coordinators and everyone. You know, emotionally I was holding back everything in TwilightNew Moon you get to see me kind of let it go. and in

FLARE: Did you perform your own stunts then?
Jackson: It’s mostly me. When you actually see the guy hit the piano, that is not me, that was the stunt guy. They wouldn’t let me break the piano. I kind of wanted to, but at the same time I don’t really condone the destruction of baby grands!
Jackson: It’s mostly me. When you actually see the guy hit the piano, that is not me, that was the stunt guy. They wouldn’t let me break the piano. I kind of wanted to, but at the same time I don’t really condone the destruction of baby grands!
FLARE: How did each of you prepare for these roles? Because
you can study vampires and stuff, but these vampires are so modern and
so unique…
Nikki: I’m sure I can speak for everyone when I say we’ve all seen a vampire or two throughout the years, but we couldn’t use them as an example because we’re not playing, like hidden creatures. Stephanie wrote really unconventional vampires. We co-exist with the rest of the world, so I think the biggest challenge was – with all of the hair and makeup and wardrobe that makes you feel like you stand out so much – finding a way to blend in with all of that.

FLARE: Since you were portraying a family, did you work together as a group to figure out how you wanted to portray them?
Kellan: We’re all very different. That’s what makes it fun about acting is we each bring our own attitude towards our characters, so when you’re shooting a scene you can actually react instead of rehearsing. You know, who’s going to say what you should express? It’s all very real and in the moment. This rag-tag family of vampires really works. We all come from different areas of life – different timelines, different generations, so we’ve been living together for a while but we’re all very different. Stephanie’s story is informed, though, so most of the work was already done for us.

New Moon Movie Mistakes!
Hi Twilighters, nothing is 100% perfect... even New Moon got some mistakes as posted on Bella'sDiary. Check it out! -Liana- (via @bellasdiary)
Continuity:
After Bella awakes from the first nightmare, we see her Romeo and
Juliet book on thepillow beside her. When Charlie brings in her
presents the book is gone, but then reappears on the pillow between
shots.
Continuity:
Bella goes to Italy to save Edward. Alice drops Bella off - when Bella
gets out of the car to ask where Edward will be, first you see Bella in
front of the car door, then she is suddenly behind the car door.
Visible crew/equipment:
In the montage scenes where we see Bella’s depression, when the camera
is circling her, the camera man is shown in the mirror (twice) behind
her.
Continuity:
When Edward takes Bella to the forest to tell her he is leaving,
Bella’s hair hangs down her back. But in a following shot most of it is
tucked up in the hood of her coat.
Continuity:
When Alice jumps over the staircase in school to wish Bella happy
birthday, between shots during the scene the positioning of the
decorated scarf around her neck varies.
Continuity: When Bella pulls up at the Black’s, she spots Jacob, gets out of her truck and her door doesn’t fully close . Later you can see in the background that the door is firmly shut.
Continuity: When Bella pulls up at the Black’s, she spots Jacob, gets out of her truck and her door doesn’t fully close . Later you can see in the background that the door is firmly shut.
Revealing:
The rims of the vampires contacts can be spotted occasionally during
the film, especially the Volturi’s during the ending scenes, e.g.
Jane’s in the elevator.

New Moon Rose From 2nd Place on Black Friday
New Moon got pushed over by The Blind Sided on Thanksgiving Day but it rose back to first place on Black Friday! Yeay!! - Lydia
Via @ EOnline
It looks like New Moon has broken $200 million at the domestic box office. No thanks at all to Sandra Bullock.
Bullock's The Blind Side was the upset winner in the Thanksgiving Day standings, per estimates as reported by Box Office Mojo, edging New Moon with $9.5 million to the latter's $9.2 million.
On Black Friday, New Moon rose from the dead—well, second place—and reclaimed the top spot with a fat $17.9 million, enough to put the Twilight sequel over the $200 million mark and ahead of The Blind Side ($16.2 million).
For those keeping score at home, New Moon surpassed $200 million—and Twilight's entire domestic theatrical run—in only eight days.

Check out the video of Taylor on Lopez Tonight! - Lydia

The movie's breakout star, Taylor Lautner, sat down to chat with George about "Twilight." They talked about their work together in "Valentine's Day," and how Taylor used to come to George's house trick-or-treating as a kid. Meanwhile, the screaming girls in the audience gave Beatlemania a run for its money.
How Long Will Eclipse Run?
I saw this interesting article from Twilight Blog and I'm sure everyone has some say to it, what do you think?
- Lydia
Via @ Twilight Blog
While New Moon only just graced the big screens last week, Twi hards are eagerly awaiting the 3rd installment of the Twilight Saga, Eclipse. While Twilight ran a total of 122 minutes, New Moon ran only 8 minutes longer at 130 minutes. For such a detailed saga (similar to Lord of the Rings)
these movies need more time. I don't know about you all, but I am
willing to sit for longer, even 3 hours wouldn't make me flinch. We
expected Chris Weitz with New Moon to be willing to make a longer movie, as he needed to properly do several "legs" and fix issues from Twilight, however, he kept that 2 hours as his limit as well.
David Slade, director of Eclipse, needs to take several things as well, into consideration about Eclipse (and be willing to make it longer!) to get us back on track with the saga. Some of the things needed to be kept in mind are:
1) There is more of a focus on the supernatural elements of vampires and werewolves. It is here in Eclipse that Stephenie Meyer finally delves into the history of her creatures and how they fit into the world as we know it. People need to see this and have a perfect understanding of it. It is vital to continuing the Twilight Saga story.
2) Much of Eclipse is comprised from the amount of time Stephenie Meyer spends on explaining the backstories of various characters. It is in Eclipse that we learn the reason why vampires and werewolves hate each other, the history of the Cullen family, Jasper's story, gain a deeper understanding of the vampires and their world, and the world of the werewolves. Again, through much of the previous two movies this element has been neglected and new people being introduced to the saga are getting lost, confused, and misunderstand (because they have yet to read the books...if they ever will) and so the deeper meaning of the saga is lost for forever. Don't skip this element!
3) Victoria's newborn vampire army is also crucial to Eclipse. The strength of newborn vampires in the Twilight Saga are significantly more powerful than your average or older vampire, but also more unreliable as they have yet not learned how to control themselves. Gaining this knowledge can make or break the rest/last half of the movie.
4) The final battle is the ultimate climax. It is the no-holds-barred epic battle between the Cullen family with their werewolf allies against Victoria and her newborn vampire army. This is intense and a must do (well done too, I might add!). This also with the simultaneous issue back at Bella, Jacob, Seth, and Edward's camp will have the audience raptured. If done right.
5) The tent scene(s) as mentioned above needs to have plenty of time to truly show the issue and fight over Bella. The tent scene(s) is the ultimate show of what is going on between the two sets of relationships.
6) Bella and Jacob VS Bella and Edward, however, lasts longer than the tent scene(s). It needs to be shown throughout the entire movie and well. David Slade needs to show how Bella and Jacob have a true love for each other that rests of them being themselves and secure and strong together. Bella and Edward depends on a mystical love/lust, Bella needing to change to be with Edward, and her worry whenever she is with him (relationship wise and physically). The differences need to be played against each other so that it is understood what Bella is asking to choose between and what she will ultimately choose.
Overall, Eclipse, just as New Moon should have been, should be about 4 hours, however, if scripted well it could be pulled off beautifully in about 3 hours. As it gets closer I will continue to pray that it is not just again 2 hours long. Because if that be the case, then the Twilight Saga will no longer be the Twilight Saga.
Interview with 'New Moon' Alice Cullen
Ashley Greene talks about intense and passionate fans, favorite scene in New Moon and how playing Alice Cullen has changed her career. Have fun reading everyone! - Lydia
Via @ EW.com
Nothing like a role in Twilight to break you into show
business. That’s the case for Ashley Greene, who had spent most of her
time in Hollywood as a hostess in an L.A. restaurant prior to her
fame-making role as Alice Cullen. The Floridian native just finishing
touring the country in support of New Moon and she’ll start filming the horror film Apparition in Berlin in February. We chatted with Greene days before New Moon started breaking records.
Are the reactions to Twilight the same all around the country?
I was impressed in Chicago, actually. Chicago was really, really
intense and loud and I think it was one of the bigger responses that we
had. But there’s always a lot of people, a lot of passion, a lot of
screaming, a lot of crying. So really it’s all measured in terms of how
deep the screaming goes.
Was it much different than last year?
I guess it’s more intense. I’m much more comfortable with this whole
thing. I didn’t really know what to expect at all when I first got into
it. It was my first gig, and so it was a little crazy and I was really
nervous. And so now you know the fans are there because they love you and they support you.
What was your most memorable fan encounter?
I’ve had a couple people make me scrapbooks, and that’s kind of an
incredible thing because I’m in a midst of this whirlwind right now so
there are a lot of things that I miss because we’re in this Twilight
bubble and it’s just go go go. So probably a year after this is all
done, we can sit back and look at the scope of it. So it’s nice for
them to put a collection of my career and what I’ve been going through
together. That’s really special.
Why do you think fans are so obsessed?
I think with vampires, you can’t really go wrong. For generations,
vampires have been a hit because they’re unobtainable, mysterious,
sensual, dangerous, kind of sexy. Then Stephanie Meyer added a
Romeo-and-Juliet love story to this fantasy world. Edward happens to be
a vampire but he’s very much that gentleman who opens doors and says
everything a girl wants to hear and he’s basically the epitome of
perfection. And then you have Bella, this normal, everyday girl, which
a lot of us are, and she steals this vampire’s heart. So everyone wants
their Edward and everyone wants to be Bella.
How has playing Alice Cullen changed your career?
I didn’t really have a career! So that’s how it changed. But now I’m
doing what I want and I know I’m going to continue to work. This is it;
this is the rest of my life. I can walk into rooms and talk to
directors and producers that I couldn’t get into their doors before.
And I can actually sit down and speak to them like a human being and
not be terrified of them. That, and of course, the fact that people
care what kind of coffee I drink and who I’m dating and where I’m
going. Nobody knew my name before and nobody cared and then all of a
sudden in a course of a year, everything has changed.
And what is the downside?
The only downside is when people stop realizing you are human and
you’re not perfect. But it’s part of the territory and I wouldn’t trade
it.
What was your first reaction to New Moon?
The tone, the color schemes, and the warmth of it is beautiful. I
think [director] Chris Weitz did a really fantastic job. And then after
seeing Taylor [Lautner], I was really impressed. I mean, he’s a
17-year-old kid and he committed and gained 30 pounds and transformed
into a completely different person than he was in the first one. He
carried this film, and I think that’s a hard thing to do, especially
when you’re up against this character Edward. It’s a lot to live up to,
and I think he did it justice and he did a fantastic job.
What was your favorite scene to film?
Going to Italy and being part of the Volturi scene was great. Dakota
Fanning is fantastic. I was watching her movies before I was even
acting. And I got to work with Michael Sheen and he’s an incredible,
phenomenal actor and it was great to be able to learn from him and
watch him do the scene and watch how it translates to the screen.
He gives that scene a lot of gravitas.
It was so easy for him. He controls the scene. I haven’t worked with
an actor of that caliber yet who can do something like that. It was
really cool to see.
Who’s your closest friend in the cast?
Kellan Lutz. We’ve been friends for about five years, before this whole Twilight thing
even happened. We had the same agent starting out so we’ve basically
been friends since we both moved to L.A. We’re together 12 hours a day,
every day for like three months at a time.
Is there a role out there you’d really like to play?
I would have loved to do Alice in Wonderland. Being a Bond girl would always be fun. We had a lot of action in Eclipse and
I’d definitely like to continue down the action road. I want to do a
romantic period piece, but those are really hard to get made because
they’re very expensive and there’s not a huge demographic. And far, far
down the road, probably when I’m in my 30s, I would love to play a North Country/Erin Brockovich
type of a role like Charlize [Theron] and Julia Roberts did because
they’re inspirational and they’re about very strong women that changed
basically the course of history. That would be a really fun role to
play, they really affect people. That’s one of the bigger benefits of
acting, that you get to affect people.
If you could pick the director to helm Breaking Dawn, who would it be?
I just went to MoMA [NYC's Museum of Modern Art] and they were
honoring Tim Burton, and I saw a whole compilation of his films and
artwork and I just think he’s an extraordinary artist. I think it’d be
really cool to have his spin on it, because it’s a very odd book,
there’s some very weird moments. He would actually put a really weird
and cool twist on it. And if we could do it the right way, it’d be
great to have two films. You definitely want to get all the important
parts in there and you know how hardcore and passionate the fans are
about it, so one might be difficult and there would be something left
out. So if we could do it right, it’d be great to have two films.

Tish Monaghan on Edward's Suit & Jacob's Cut-offs
Awesome Interview by Mandi Bierly on how costume designer Tish Monaghan dressing Edward, Jacob, Bella, the Volturi. Have fun reading! - Lydia
You have to immediately like a costume designer who’ll admit that
she’s wearing sweatpants while chatting with you from her Vancouver
home. We phoned Tish Monaghan, who took over styling duties for The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Eclipse, to
talk about how Edward ended up in a suit, why Jacob’s muscles are
bulging through his shirt (when he actually wears one), what department
mandated that the wolf pack’s jean shorts be extra tight, and more.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Anyone who’s listened to the Twilight DVD commentary knows that Robert Pattinson wasn’t a fan of Edward’s pea coat.
TISH MONAGHAN: He wasn’t a fan of the pea coat. He wore it in virtually every scene, and I think maybe he just got tired of it. I’m guessing. [Laughs] He just wanted a more mature look. That was part of Edward’s Grade 11 year, and now he’s getting into his graduation year, he’s in a relationship. He had worn hoodies and jeans and sneakers, and Robert, the director [Chris Weitz], and I all wanted to portray him more as a gentleman, more elegant and classic. With our vampire characters, I always went back to the time period in which they were turned to see if there’s any element I could try to simulate in contemporary clothing. He came out of the Edwardian period, around 1910. Of course, most of the gentleman from that time would be wearing suits, coats, hats, etc. We had to pick something that was iconic for the character that would suffice to be used throughout the whole film. At the very beginning of the film, he has one school outfit, and then there’s Bella’s birthday party and disaster strikes. So Edward ends up in that same costume for the remainder of the film. I was thinking of just putting him in a dress shirt and a pair of pants, but Robert wanted to be in a suit.

I was thinking of just putting him in a dress shirt and a pair of pants, but Robert wanted to be in a suit.
So I found a modern contemporary look that would be appealing to him
and to the massive fan base, a very slim cut, and a fabric that to me
was a bit Old World — this beautiful tweed fabric that we got out of
England. It had the gray base, which is kind of essential for the
Cullen characters in their cool tones, but also had little interesting
flecks of blue, which is also Cullen, and a tiny little bit of rust,
which I liked because Bella wears earth tones and that kinda linked her
into the picture. The general texture of the suit would hold up well no
matter what setting he was in: Inside the house for the party, or in
the forest, or in the Volturi chamber. We had to show wear on the suit,
and it’s much easier to rough up something that has texture to it than
just a flat piece of wool. His pants are worn at the knees, they’re
rumpled.
I don’t know if anyone’s looking at his pants when he removes his shirt in Italy.
The fans were very excited to see that, I don’t know if Robert was particularly excited to perform that in front of 1,500 people. I think it was quite hard for him to do. We originally tested Edward in a plain white shirt, as a forlorn-looking option. That is also what Robert wanted — he wanted something that would wash him out. But you need to have a color that makes you pop, and so we actually dyed the fabric this beautiful ink blue ourselves. It highlighted his vampire white skin really well. I think it’s a great moment when we see him in these clothes that he’s worn from September to May. When he goes to sacrifice himself, he’s in disrepair. Robert and Chris wanted his shirt to have a rip across the chest, so that’s what we gave him. It’s really kind of tragic to watch him take off his shirt, because he really is sacrificing himself. It looks like he’s just giving up. He’s exposing himself and he’s completely vulnerable, and he just takes his shirt off and he drops it at his feet with his eyes downcast. Then he gets attacked by Bella, who shoves him inside the doors. [Laughs] I don’t find it like a beefcake moment. It really is a moving moment, and I think Robert did a really amazing job for that scene.

The tear across the chest was to symbolize that his heart was torn out when he thought he lost Bella?
Maybe. [Laughs] They just said, “Rip it across the chest.” I said, “Are you sure? No shirt’s gonna rip like this.” And they said, “Yes.” So I did it.
Maybe. [Laughs] They just said, “Rip it across the chest.” I said, “Are you sure? No shirt’s gonna rip like this.” And they said, “Yes.” So I did it.
Why couldn’t he remain shirtless for the indoor fight scene? Why put on the robe?
Originally, the guards who grab him were supposed to be coming from the outside — that’s why they give him the robe. But the setting was changed, and they grab him on the inside. So why do they hand him this robe? Because, quite honestly, it looks very cool fighting with this long, flowing garment, and it does hide pads, protect him.

Moving on to the wolf pack, was it easier to dress them since they were shirtless?
We still had to have a lot of fittings with them. You had to be very careful with where the shorts fall on the hip bone, we had to make sure everything sits at the same place when they run. Each individual actor had their own request, but we also had requests from the visual effects department, because if we had big, loose shredded shorts on when they morphed into wolves, it’s too much work and too many hours to magically get rid of that clothing on camera. They wanted the shorts as close-fitting to the leg as possible, whereas the natural tendency of the guys would be to have something baggier so that they didn’t look like they were wearing hot pants. [Laughs] So if I knew they were going to morph, then they had tighter-fitting shorts, and if they didn’t have to morph, then we would give them something a little bit looser and longer. There were lots of Levi’s, American Eagle, Old Navy. Quite honestly, I tried to shop where I figured the wolves would shop. [Laughs] So we went to Wal-Mart. The general concept was that anytime they went off to hunt, those shorts got destroyed because they’d change into a wolf. So they all had a secret little stash, buried in a hole somewhere in the forest, where they went running naked. [Laughs] That’s what we imagined. They had an unlimited selection of cut-off pants.

And did you or did you not pay special attention to where
the sleeves of Jacob’s T-shirts fell on his biceps? Because job well
done.
Absolutely. Everything was geared towards making sure that his arm muscles really showed. There’s a scene where he’s working on a motorcycle, and his muscles are really pulling against this plaid shirt he’s wearing. He looks very strong and very built, and we tried to do the same with this T-shirts. There was no way since it was the same actor that we could show somebody that had grown like six inches. So it was Chris Weitz’s genius idea to tailor his clothes, to make the sleeves a little bit shorter, a little bit tighter — make it look as if he’d grown out of his clothes in a couple of months and hadn’t had time to go get new ones. We found T-shirt brands that fit him well with hardly any adjustments and just stuck with those in earth tones — The Gap, Banana Republic, American Apparel, Levi’s. We tried more expensive T-shirts, but he looked too pretty.
