or opportunities to meet the stars.<span style=""> </span>Massive Events organises such a convention and I was lucky enough to be at “Eternal Twilight 4: A New Dawn” over the weekend of 22-24 October, 2010, held at the Hilton Metropole in Birmingham, UK.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The line up had changed quite a lot in the months leading up to the event, but the final guests were announced as Julia Jones, Booboo Stewart, Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier, Leah Gibson, and Kirsten Prout.<span style=""> </span>(Leah Clearwater, Seth Clearwater, Sam Uley, Jared, Nettie, and Lucy respectively.)<span style=""> </span>A lot of people had booked when Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen) had been on the bill, and many were disappointed by the lack of “vampires” attending. However, even though Alex Meraz (Paul) had dropped out, wolf pack fans were guaranteed to be happy.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">During the opening ceremony, it was announced that Kirsten Prout had gotten another role at the last minute and she would no longer be able to attend.<span style=""> </span>Imagine everyone’s delight when it was announced that she would be replaced by not one, but two alternative guests: Gil Birmingham (Billy Black) and Charlie Bewley (Demetri.) The replacements were very popular choices—especially with the Team Bewley fans sitting in the audience.<span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I was really excited to see Julia Jones in real life, as Leah Clearwater is my favourite character in the <i style="">Twilight Saga</i>. Leah can be portrayed as a two dimensional bitch at times, but in my own mind she is a complicated and intelligent woman, who acts the way she does because she cared <i style="">too much</i> and got hurt. <span style=""> </span>Julia did an excellent job with her time on screen in Eclipse, portraying Leah exactly as I imagined her in my mind, and I look forward to seeing more of her in <i style="">Breaking Dawn</i>.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Charlie wasn’t there on the evening of the opening ceremony, but all six guests who were gave a short introduction as they appeared on stage.<span style=""> </span>Julia commented that she had spent time in England before, as her aunt had married a Brit and she’d taken some of her childhood summer vacations here.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Friday evening’s themed party was “Edward and Bella’s Wedding,” complete with a table laid out for the wedding party and wedding cake.<span style=""> </span>A mock up of the gazebo from the prom scene was set up over one of the entrances into the hall, which was very popular for photos, if a little too busy to have a quiet dance <i style="">a la</i> Edward and Bella.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Within moments of entering the hall, Bronson Pelletier walked right past me, and I saw that Booboo Stewart was surrounded by fans and handing out hugs.<span style=""> </span>Chaske Spencer later had a go on the mechanical surfboard set up in the corner of the room, and did quite well...from what I remember... My memory might be failing me, but I was sure I saw him on the dance floor later, too.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The schedule for signings and photos started pretty early on Saturday and Sunday morning, which was unfortunate for those who had gotten a little worse for wear the previous night *ahem*<span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">As you would expect at one of these events, there was a lot of waiting in lines involved, although it has to be said that queues for photos moved a lot quicker than the queues for signings—which often took twice as long as your schedule allowed.<span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">There wasn’t as much merchandise on sale as I would have thought: lots of photos—framed, signed, and otherwise, fridge magnets etcetera, as well as <i style="">True Blood</i> merchandise.<span style=""> </span>The most novel items I saw were the hand-painted personalised Twilight footwear.<span style=""> </span>With the themed party for Saturday night being the “Volturi Ball,” it was disappointing to find that a Volturi “V” necklace could not be bought for love or for money at the event.<span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">If possible, even more effort was put into transforming the room into the perfect setting for the “Volturi Ball,” including throne picture opportunities, gargoyles on the dance floor, and bloody cocktails.<span style=""> </span>The DJ was a little jerky at times, but as a whole, the evenings were perfectly put together.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">A number of non-Twilight authors were also present at the event: L. A. Weatherly (<i style="">Angel,)</i> Lauren Kate (<i style="">Fallen</i> and <i style="">Torment</i>,) and Becca Fitzpatrick (<i style="">Hush Hush</i> and <i style="">Crescendo</i>.) Books and related merchandise were on sale or were given away, and I can imagine it was very good for their publicity. It is worth noting that as part of these authors’ promotions, a half-clothed male hottie with a pair of black angel wings could be seen wandering around the Hilton—much to the delight of the female fans. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Prize draws and auctions for guest encounters were also available, but unfortunately these always took place at the same time as other guests’ panels and, as a result, I missed every panel on the first day. Still...IT WAS FREAKING WORTH IT!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span lang="EN-GB">Bronson Pelletier (Jared)</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">My first guest encounter was with Bronson Pelletier, who plays Jared.<span style=""> </span>Having been mentally trained by the books to think of the wolf pack as muscle-bound giants, I was surprised to find that Bronson was actually shorter than myself (5’ 8” without heels, and I <i style="">always</i> wear heels.)<span style=""> </span>It also struck me as how much younger he looks in real life.<span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">In the encounter (with eleven other fans and one of the event staff,) Bronson seemed a little shy, and more than a little bemused by the two Italian girls present, who professed their love and told him how beautiful he was on more than one occasion.<span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">When asked about how he got into acting, Bronson regaled a tale about a time when David Duchovny (of <i style="">X-Files</i> fame) had been filming near his hometown when he was much younger.<span style=""> </span>He had gained access to the catering table, and stuffed three Oreo cookies into his mouth. When he saw David Duchovny and wanted to meet him, Bronson spat the half-chewed cookies into his hand but, to his dismay, David Duchovny started shaking hands with everyone he spoke to.<span style=""> </span>When it was Bronson’s turn, he had to hold out his hand and explain why it was covered in half-chewed cookie, resulting in a bemused look from the actor he had come to see.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Bronson attended an actor’s workshop with Samuel L. Jackson, but was really overwhelmed at the meeting. He did, however, manage to ask Samuel to say one of his lines from <i style="">Pulp Fiction</i>, which I won’t repeat for language reasons.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Another question was whether he had ever used his status as a Twilight star to some advantage.<span style=""> </span>Bronson said that despite having an ex-girlfriend who had a history of having “don’t you know who I am?” moments, he tries not to behave that way.<span style=""> </span>With some encouragement from his handler, Bronson did say that he had faced a three-month prison sentence for a driving offence (naughty boy!) that would have interfered with his filming schedule for one of the Twilight films, but the judge was a fan of the saga and he got off with a lesser sentence.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Overall impressions were that he is just a young, normal guy, who just happens to have a part in the Twilight movies, and when you can coax a story out of him, he’s really funny.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span lang="EN-GB">Leah Gibson (Nettie)</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">When you think of Twilight stars, Leah Gibson probably wouldn’t be in the first twenty actors that sprung to mind. By the end of the weekend, however, she had gained a number of fans over the course due to her intelligent, witty, and all-round <i style="">nice</i> personality. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Leah got into acting while in high school, and spent a lot of time concentrating on music, dance and performing. She said that at any high school reunion she might attend, she would probably only recognise twenty-five percent of the people due to the focus had to give to performing during those years.<span style=""> </span>Acting requires a lot of dedication, and Leah says that if that’s what you want to do, you really need to do it because it’s what you love rather than any other reason.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Musicals are Leah’s passion.<span style=""> </span>If she could reprise any role, she would play “Sally Bowles” in <i style="">Cabaret</i>, as made famous by Liza Minnelli.<span style=""> </span>Her dream leading man would be Mark Lutz, her boyfriend (the Groosalugg from <i style="">Angel</i>, the TV series, amongst other roles.)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">When given a choice of Team Edward or Team Jacob, Leah says “Team Jacob,” but quickly follows that up by saying she’s really more “Team Jasper.”</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">When filming <i style="">Eclipse</i>, the Oscar nominated actress Catalina Sandino Moreno, who plays Maria, had recently given birth and was still very much lactating.<span style=""> </span>The scene was digitally altered to look as if it was night, but the filming itself was done in the desert during the day. It was hot, David Slade was getting the actors to jump up and down to “keep the energy going,” and Catalina was leaking breast milk—which is quite the mental image. Catalina is a really great actress and Leah enjoyed working with her.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Leah will soon be seen in <i style="">A Night for Dying Tigers</i>, a Canadian film, where she plays a new wife of one of the brothers attending a family party for another brother’s last night before going to jail.<span style=""> </span>Over the course of the night, a number of skeletons come out of the closet and Carly, Leah’s character, witnesses the family falling apart.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The personable actress says that people don’t realise how difficult her profession can be, especially when they see the glamour, pretty dresses and red carpets.<span style=""> </span>What people don’t realise is that red carpets are actually terrifying events, especially afterward if you read negative comments about yourself, which can <i style="">really hurt</i>.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Overall impressions are that Leah Gibson is a talented actress, clever and genuine, and guaranteed to win any Twilight fan over. She is sure to be much more popular with those who attended Eternal Twilight 4.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span lang="EN-GB">Charlie Bewley (Demetri)</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">First things first: <i style="">those eyes...that body...that voice...unh</i>!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Sorry. *Cough* </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Charlie is a very articulate and intelligent person, with a number of higher ideals and opinions about society as a whole.<span style=""> </span>He has a love for trance music, and said that he can often be found going for a run, while listening to music, with the biggest smile on his face—even when running through slums and the seedier parts of town. For the sake of his career, he has recently moved from Vancouver, the Hollywood of the North, to Los Angeles.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Charlie competes in ironman events in an effort to raise money for Jocelyn Clarke, who was Dakota Fanning’s stunt double, and contracted a form of cancer, which he discussed in more detail during his guest talk with Leah Gibson.<span style=""> </span>He also plans to do more to raise awareness of bullying after being shocked by the trend of videoing physical attacks for entertainment.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if gte mso

has a clothing line due to be launched, and some other undisclosed business projects which will be announced soon. His @alchemission twitter will be phased out and replaced with a new account @charliemmbewley as part of his future plans. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">One of his upcoming film projects is <i style="">Slightly Single in L.A</i>., in which Charlie plays the part of Hayden, a jock who goes on a date with the main female character.<span style=""> </span>He has since had to go back to redo some audio work for the part. For his role, Charlie used an American accent—something that he is still perfecting.<span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Charlie is unaware when <i style="">Soldiers of Fortune</i>, which he has filmed since <i style="">Eclipse</i>, will be released and hasn’t seen much with regard to how it has turned out. Acting-wise, Charlie is now concentrating on the upcoming filming for <i style="">Breaking Dawn</i>, and is using the opportunity to be selective over which projects he signs himself up for in the future.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">After ET4, Charlie will be travelling to Hallowfest in Mexico, and has many other Twilight conventions lined up.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span lang="EN-GB">Julia Jones (Leah Clearwater)</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Meeting Julia was one of the things I was most looking forward to at ET4, and imagine how delighted I was when I got the chance to have a guest encounter with her.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">While I was in the encounter with Bronson, I had unfortunately missed Julia’s panel with Booboo, where she had answered the question I had posed on rumours that her hair would be cut very short for Breaking Dawn.<span style=""> </span>Having her hair chopped for Eclipse had been an emotional experience, and for the forthcoming filming she is being allowed to have more input with that aspect of her character’s appearance.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Like many members of the cast, Julia does work for a number of charities, including the Entertainment Industry Foundation and Los Angeles Mission.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">When asked where she sees herself in five years time, Julia says that is a difficult question to answer.<span style=""> </span>Her mother has always leaned towards her career, while her grandmother was very focused on family, so Julia feels pulled in two very different directions, and isn’t sure which path her life might take right now.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">A comment made by Booboo during an earlier panel, where he discussed a moment where a fan had asked to make out with him during a photo session, came up. Leah said that kind of approach was unlikely to result in meeting the person who she would later choose to spend her life with.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">What really illustrated the power of Twilight to Julia was when, after landing the part of Leah, her mother felt as though she should read the books.<span style=""> </span>Julia’s mother is a very serious and career-orientated woman, and had gone away to complete some work uninterrupted.<span style=""> </span>When she spoke to her mother again, she admitted that she hadn’t started the work because she had been unable to put the Twilight books down. That showed Julia exactly how addictive the stories were.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The subject of <i style="">Jonah Hex</i> was brought up—a film released earlier in the year, in which Julia was almost completely edited out.<span style=""> </span>Julia said that the film had a lot of potential, with an illustrious cast including Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, and Megan Fox. Julia says that the actors involved gave stellar performances, but the film was changed beyond recognition due to creative differences between those involved in the post-production.<span style=""> </span>The result was that the movie did not fully live up to its early potential. Still, she is glad to have had the opportunity to work with and learn from such excellent actors.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Julia was asked how she gets into character to play Leah, and she says that spending time around the boys who play the wolf pack and watching their horseplay gradually irritates her more and more. Before she knows it, she’s snarling and in the right frame of mind.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">There is a very supportive relationship between the cast.<span style=""> </span>Bronson is very much the set clown, and very entertaining.<span style=""> </span>Chaske is the guy who she rings up when she has a problem and wants someone to talk to.<span style=""> </span>One day, Alex Meraz had gotten stranded up a tree (!) after he had been mobbed by fans when his wife hadn’t shown up to pick him up.<span style=""> </span>He called Julia to find out if she could get there quicker than his wife, but unfortunately she was too far away.<span style=""> </span>Alex asked her if she could stay on the phone while he waited for his wife, just to keep him company. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Julia is glad to see that more women have been cast for Breaking Dawn, so she will have more female company on set.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Overall, Julia looks very different in real life to the character she played in Eclipse, but certainly has the feisty attitude, and is a confident, beautiful, and intelligent young woman.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span lang="EN-GB">Guest Talks</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I missed quite a few of the guest talks due to my taking the opportunity to meet some of the actors in the smaller gatherings, but I did manage to sit in the audience for three panels.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span lang="EN-GB">Gil/Julia/Chaske:</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Highlights of this talk had to be Chaske’s adorable laugh, (it has to be said, the guy is adorable from head to toe,) and the banter between the three on stage when asked to compare each actor to their on screen characters.<span style=""> </span>Julia said that Chaske is a kind of father figure to those who play the pack members, and Chaske said that Gil has a similar role in that he is the person he would turn to for advice.<span style=""> </span>Gil said that Leah is <i style="">hot</i>, and Julia is similar to Leah in that she’s <i style="">hot</i>—resulting in hysterics from Julia and Chaske.<span style=""> </span>Chaske feels like he always ends up playing Gil’s son in films that they do together, and just for once he’d like to play the father. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span lang="EN-GB">Charlie/Leah Gibson:</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Leah Gibson did a good job of holding her own during her time on stage with the irrepressible Charlie Bewley.<span style=""> </span>Charlie stated that his set superstition was checking how he measured up in the bathroom, and that he compared well; Leah Gibson responded by saying that Charlie compared well in his own mind.<span style=""> </span>When asked if they had ever stolen anything from the Twilight set, Leah said that she didn’t steal; Charlie said that he’d once tried to take a cravat but it was almost impossible to take anything . He did say, however, that he had once stolen Ashley Greene and taken her back to his room—much to the amusement of the audience. Someone shouted that he had best not tell Joe Jonas, to which he responded by saying that he wasn’t scared of that Disney boy and he could take all three Jonas brothers on.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span lang="EN-GB">All Guests:</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Just before the closing ceremony, we were treated to all seven guests on stage at the same time.<span style=""> </span>My favourite question being when the actors were asked whether they had a party trick.<span style=""> </span>Booboo listed a number of hidden talents, and Julia, who answered next, said that she’d just bring Booboo along with her.<span style=""> </span>Leah Gibson demonstrated a yoga pose which involved standing on one leg, and curling her other leg up behind her so it met her arms above her head; Charlie Bewley then jumped up and popped his head through the gap.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">All in all, the entire weekend was a dream come true, and I have already put my name down for Eternal Twilight 5 in February.<span style=""> </span>So far, the confirmed guests are Daniel Cudmore (Felix,) Alex Meraz (Paul,) Michael Welch (Mike Newton,) and Jodelle Ferland (Bree Tanner,) but due to the changes in line up for the last convention, I won’t say that they will all definitely attend until the day arrives.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://massiveevents.co.uk/eternaltwilight5/">http://massiveevents.co.uk/eternaltwilight5/</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">If you are in the vicinity of the UK at that time, I highly recommend coming along.</span></p><div style="text-align: center;">~~~<br /><div style="text-align: left;">Leanne also made a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRGBkLFtAY">YouTube video</a> compiling all of her pictures from the weekend event.<br /></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></p> </div></div>Pink Pawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169122414179351379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799920746418459360.post-90682629373267769952010-11-01T20:59:00.000-07:002010-11-01T21:07:27.090-07:00New Tinsel Korey PhotoshootHere are photos of a shoot Tinsel Korey recently did.

Ya know, appear knowledgeable, searched the Web for info on their home town, birthdays, hobbies and anything else I could find. I also listened to previous interviews with the actors to get a feel for their personalities. </p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p>I was totally prepared, but it finally hit me at the Grand America Hotel (where I met the actors) on Saturday, “This is my first real interview. Me, the intern. It has to be good.” Waiting in the lobby, I wondered what it would be like to meet an actor from such a high profile film. I met the Osmonds, once. I even got an autographed picture of Melissa Joan Hart and glimpsed various Disney Channel actors, filming Going to the Mat at Northridge High School. But I never really sat an had a one-on-one with any of them. I had 20 minutes with the actors and nearly two pages of questions to guide me.</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p>Bewley, Jones and I exchanged introductions. Then Bewley commented on my hair and noted it was the same color as Victoria's. He wondered if I dyed it to look like her, but I told him I just liked the color. Apparently, fans are always trying to look like the characters, and he just wanted to check.</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p>He is a chill guy and Jones is really nice. I decided to begin the interview with her.</p><p><span class="fw_sanitized"><p>SLM: "Let's start with Julia. How do you think your fans will respond to your depiction of Leah Clearwater?"</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “I don't know”, she sighs and gives a nervous laugh. “I really, really don't know. I realized when I watched the film for the first time, a couple weeks ago, that that's gonna happen, that there's gonna be some kinda reaction, that there's gonna be feedback. There's such a big deal made about being cast and about filming and then there's all these phases you go through, and then, actually the most important thing, in some way the only thing that matters is how your character is received."</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p>She told me how nauseous she was after first seeing it. She put off thinking about how the audience would react. “Now I've recently been like oh my God it's gonna come out, that day is coming. I really hope it jives with the fans and other's ideas of the character. Everything I tried to do was from this book, and it was my interpretation”</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p>SLM: "Is it hard to depict a character from a well-read book?"</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “Process wise, it's just different. It's really about doing an interpretation of source material versus creating and imagining. It is harder in a lot of ways, because there is kind of a right and a wrong. Or there's a more right. The material is there, and you're trying to get as close to, as true to, this character that's so believable and so dimensional as you possibly can, and you're not gonna get there 100 percent.”</p><p> </p><p>CB: “The difficult thing is that the books are like 15,000 times bigger than the script. And you have character developments in the book that just do not exist in the script. So, you can have the character based on what is outlined in the books, and then you're given the script to actually portray that character. You can do your best, but it's like film is so restricting in a many ways. You have marks to hit. It's very hard to play that character so organically with what you have in your head given when you're given the script, which is like four lines and then some tricky camera angles.” </p><p> </p><p>He adjusted in his seat and leaned in closer.</p><p>JJ: “One of the most daunting parts about it for me was I had never worked on a set the size of the Twilight sets.” Julia related to Charlie. “The crew is huge, the cast is huge and there are all these added elements like paparazzi and fans, and all of a sudden, whatever experience I had before as an actor on the set went out the window. You have to figure out how to do your job in-spite of all these different variables that are brand new. Coming in, my character was new and every actor I interacted with had been playing their character for at least one other film, and I was trying to keep up. Yeah, I was on my toes quite a bit.”</p><p> </p><p>CB: “But you did a really good job! Really you did.” </p><p> </p><p>JJ: “Thanks Charlie,” she laughs.</p><p> </p><p>CB: “I mean she's smokin' hot in the movie. A great character. She plays her (Leah) with real edge, really moody.”</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “I went for it,” Julia says with unsure laughter. “The thing that lets you a little off the hook when you think about the daunting part of it is that you know that the people that are behind this—Summit, the studio, Stephenie Meyer, the directors. It's such a well oiled machine. They're so smart, they know what they're doing and you trust them. So, really it's just the belief that they believed in you or they picked you to do it. That calmed me much more than anything in my power… Just, you know, I have faith in it.”</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p>SLM: "Are there any scenes you're particularly proud of or that you want the audience to watch for?"</p><p> </p><p>CB: “Well from a Volturi point of view, this is a very cameo role for us. I don't want to beef it up any bigger than it is. We just have this fleeting presence. We're just there to check on how things are going.</p><p> </p><p>CB to JJ. “Did you fight in the fight scene?”</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “It's CGI.”</p><p> </p><p>CB: Getting back to the interview, “Volturi are very cool wherever they go. We have these outfits, and we try to fly a little, but the stunt didn't come off so we only used a little slip of it. I'm just looking forward to Breaking Dawn, really. This is a great movie, but from my characters point of view, Breaking Dawn is where my character in particular, could have a very prominent role in it—very, very prominent role.</p><p> </p><p>If they ask me, I'll be all ears and just sit down and tell them 'this is what my character would do this is how he'd do it. This is how he would fly, because he will fly, and this is how he's gonna track and this is the way he looks when he does it opposed to them going, 'Hey Charlie, uh Stephenie thinks this, this and this.' I'll listen to it, but I know this guy so intently now. I know him better than Stephenie knows him.”</p><p> </p><p>JJ: "Yeah, but that's the thing that's different about playing a character that's in a book, too. Normally, when you approach a character it's yours; you own it, and nobody know it as well as you do. It's your creation, and in this case, I remember it hitting me early on I'm playing a character that belongs to the fans and the audience as much or more as she belongs to me.”</p><p> </p><p>CB: shakes his head.</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “You don't think so?”</p><p> </p><p>CB: “No, you take it off them. That's the thing. You take it off them. That's the interesting thing. With Rob, there was that identity thing. He looks so much like his character that there was no separation. They didn't see them as two separate people, they saw them as one person and gradually, gradually, gradually you become Demetri, you become Leah, you become that person and whatever you do is gospel, really.”</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “Cause the reality is that I definitely know her better than any individual fan. I mean, I don't think anyone on the planet has spent more time studying Leah Clearwater…”</p><p> </p><p>CB: Interupts, “Than it's yours.” He smiles.</p><p> </p><p>JJ: laughs and continues, “…than me maybe besides Stephenie Meyer. But my voice is so small compared to the millions of people who are constantly voicing their opinions, their feelings and their passion for the characters.”</p><p> </p><p>SLM: Do you think you'll be influenced by what fans think?</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “Maybe. I don't know how to incorporate that into my process as an actor...so, I doubt that.” She thinks for a moment. “Maybe, subconsciously.”</p><p> </p><p>CB: “Yeah, you're your harshest critic really. Whatever you do on that screen is not going to be as magnified by them as much it is by yourself. So, if there is any criticism to come out of anything, it'd be coming out of your own head directed right at yourself. And further more, if you weren't accurately playing the character I don't think you'd make the cut. I just don't think it works.”</p><p> </p><p>JJ to CB: “But they can't cut you out. That's the thing, like for better or for worse, it's not like you're like 'oh, they didn't cut me out, so I did an okay job.' It's like under no circumstances can they cut anything.”</p><p> </p><p>CB: “I just know the director would not have let it slip through, and plus Stephenie Meyer sits there…”</p><p> </p><p>JJ: interrupts, “You're right, I completely agree with that.”</p><p> </p><p>CB: continues, “… sits there in Studio City every day. I can imagine her just coming out one day and going, 'Look pal, you're going in the wrong direction on this one; I just gotta tell you that.' But we were cast, and she had a hand in casting us all and she's, I'm pretty sure right now, just relinquished all control to the story that she set out and the characters that she assembled within that are now us. We are the characters. They are not these things in her head, and that's the same with the fans, like I was talking about, they had an idea of what they were, but unfortunately, you can't have everything you want.”</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p>SLM: "So what do you think about the whole imprinting thing? It heavily defines Leah."</p><p> </p><p>(For those who don't know, imprinting is where the werewolves in Twilight find their soul mate. That person is their one and only and they don't get have a choice. Sometimes it can get creepy, like when a werewolf imprints on a young child. They basically wait around until the kid is old enough to marry. Weird stuff huh?)</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “Totally. It's funny. I think it's like the best thing and the worst thing. I mean, for what it is if you're on the right side of imprinting— it's what could be better. There is absolutely no question that the person that you're with is the person you're supposed to be with...period. At the same time, if you're on the wrong side of imprinting, like Leah is, it is literally unfathomable and you combine that with the wolf packs' ability to mind read. I mean the love of her life imprinted on her cousin, and she has to hear his thoughts of pity towards her and his thoughts of love towards her cousin and the rest of the wolf packs' thoughts of just anger and madness at her, because she's so mad and they have to listen to her thoughts. It's just so bad.” She pauses then excitedly says, “I would like to imprint. I would like to be the imprinter.”</p><p> </p><p>CB: “Don't you imprint?”</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “I don't get to imprint. It's so depressing; it's like the most heartbreaking part about poor Leah. She's like one of the only wolves that doesn't imprint as far as the books go, and she's like totally on her own.”</p><p> </p><p>CB: “Who would you imprint? I read some fan fiction right that you imprinted Demetri, like seriously, I don't know how it works. Just check it out! Leah imprinted Demetri. Yes!” He claps his hands together in triumph, “And there's a youtube about it. It's Demetri and Leah dead serious.”</p><p> </p><p>SLM: "Did you make this up? I'm sure you wrote it."</p><p> </p><p>CB: “I'm serious. Dead serious.” He pulls out his iPOD.</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “I've just been doing press with the wolves. I'm very gullible, and they are jokesters and pranksters, and every day every for five minutes there is some story or some crazy thing that I completely believe and low and behold it's,” she laughs, “totally not true. So maybe Charlies' not…”</p><p> </p><p>We both look at Charlie, he turns the iPOD to show us.</p><p> </p><p>CB: “Leah and Demetri bring me to life I told you look.”</p><p> </p><p>We all laugh and he apologized for taking the interview off track. I didn't mind, I thought it was pretty funny. I like random.</p></span></p></span><p>SLM: "Please describe some similarities and differences between you and your character."</p><p> </p><p>CB: “Very fine, actually. I'm very much like my character. He allows me to be everything I want to be really. If I was kind of in that capacity, if I was head guard of something huge, that's how I'd...I'd be the nice guy. I would be the smiling guy, I wouldn't be like the tough guy and especially if I knew I had power behind me, I'd be very arrogant about it as well like Demetri is.”</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “ I think always, or most of the time, with acting there's an element of it where it's you in the circumstances or the character. I mean, it's all kind of coming from you and what you're made of, and it's sort of like alchemy in a way. The biggest difference and one of the hardest things for me to latch on to with Leah was the anger 'cause I don't really express anger the same, so outwardly, so clearly. And I wasn't comfortable with it, and I had to really push myself to find anger and to express anger, and that was something that I feel like David Slade [the director] really helped me do."</p><p> </p><p>CB: “How did David make you angry? “</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “He'd didn't make me angry.”</p><p> </p><p>CB: “Call you names?”</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “No, he doesn't do that.”</p><p> </p><p>CB: “Tell you you're fired? Ah, just joking. You're fired! Ah, I'm joking.”</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “That's not David.”</p><p> </p><p>CB: “No it's not David. David's the guy that tells you the most disgusting joke you've ever heard in your life after two minutes of meeting you, that's David.”</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “David's awesome. I'm really sad I didn't see him either; I didn't see so many people at the premier because it was just so massive.</p><p> </p><p>CB: “I'm so glad that my instincts on David were true in that he's really taken a strip of Hollywood off this franchise. I just feel that New Moon was quite theatrical kind of like very sort of showy. If you see some of the performances, like Rob's performance, is strangely self deprecating. Kristen's is quieter and less desperate. But at the same time she, has this depth to her, and Taylor's Taylor.” He chuckles.</p><p> </p><p>JJ: “Taylor's so great in this.”</p><p> </p><p>CB: “And the whole thing has this very sort of tight aspect to it. It's not like that's a CGI wolf like it was in the last one. It was flawless. I thought the whole film was flawlessly put together given the fact that you have to follow this book at the same time. He really did make it entertaining for me, who wouldn't generally watch a film of that genre.”</p><p> </p><p>SLM: "Well I'm excited to see it."</p><p> </p><p>CB: “It's going to be amazing.”</p><p> </p><p>I asked Charlie, avid snowboarder/skier/extremes sports extraordinaire, to visit us Utahans on the slopes. He said definitely, so be on the lookout for a tall, good looking Brit this winter. </p><p> </p><p>I took a picture with them, and we said our goodbyes. I walked out of the interview impressed with how nice, fun and personable they both were. And Charlie, he was such a character, which really made the interview. </p><p> </p><p>I want to watch it now to cheer them on and see if the film is truly flawless. I'm not big on CGI or even Twilight as a series thus far, so we shall see. Join me and check out The Twilight Saga: Eclipse opening June 30th . </p><p> </p><p>Thank you Julia and Charlie for being down-to-earth and giving me a great interview!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>SOURCE: Salt Lake (the Magazine for Utah) via LovingCharlieB <a target="_blank" href="http://www.saltlakemagazine.com/Blogs/In-the-Hive/June-2010/Interview-With-a-Vampireand-Werewolf/">Article Link</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.saltlakemagazine.com/Blogs/In-the-Hive/June-2010/Interview-With-a-Vampireand-Werewolf/"><br /></a></p><span class="fw_sanitized"><p><span class="fw_sanitized"></span></p></span>Pink Pawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169122414179351379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799920746418459360.post-91144336248700931002010-06-26T16:04:00.000-07:002010-06-26T16:47:22.382-07:00Eclipse Premiere<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://memberfiles.freewebs.com/53/86/56748653/photos/Eclipse-Premiere/1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 456px; height: 600px;" src="http://memberfiles.freewebs.com/53/86/56748653/photos/Eclipse-Premiere/1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Click <a href="http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/video?id=7517247">HERE</a> to watch Tent City video of Billy Burke, Peter Facinelli, Julia Jones, and Jackson Rathbone.

Edmonton's <a href="http://www.moviefone.com/celebrity/tyson-houseman/926926/main">Tyson Houseman</a> has gone from browsing retail jobs on Craigslist to leading a jet-set lifestyle in little over a year, thanks to a last-minute decision to show up to an open casting call for 'Twilight: New Moon' in Vancouver. He decided to audition just for the heck of it, and wound up landing the role of Quil Ateara, a member of Jacob's wolf pack.<br /><br />Houseman is reprising his role as the wise-cracking Quil in this month's '<a href="http://www.moviefone.com/movie/the-twilight-saga-eclipse/36837/main">Twilight: Eclipse</a>'. We caught up with him to chat about everything from Twihards to what makes him and the other wolf pack members puke.<br /><br /><strong>How did you get into acting?</strong><br /><br />I really kind of stumbled into it. Before 'New Moon', the only thing I had really done was just high school plays and stuff like that, and really just small parts. A year out of high school I decided to move to Vancouver. After living in Vancouver for about four months, I found the audition for 'New Moon' on Craigslist. There was an open casting call, so I went down and gave it a shot. I didn't expect to get anything out of it. I was really casual, and I think that's what gave me a bit of an edge. I got a call back, and a week later they called me in and said that I had the part.<br /><br /><strong>So why did you decide to respond to the casting call? Are you a fan of 'Twilight'?</strong><br /><br />Not really. I didn't really know that much about the whole 'Twilight phenomenon'. I hadn't read the books or seen the movie. I knew of it, but I didn't know that it had such a huge fan following. I think the first glimpse of that I had was when I went down to the open casting call. I got there an hour early, and there was already a line up like six blocks long. It was pretty crazy.<br /><br />Read the rest of the interview <a href="http://insidemovies.moviefone.com/2010/06/24/tyson-houseman-twilight-wolf-pack-interview/">here</a>.<br /></div>Pink Pawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169122414179351379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799920746418459360.post-49432792387188425522010-06-23T15:24:00.000-07:002010-06-23T15:27:18.115-07:00Twilight's Wolf Pack: 'We're More Interesting Than the Vampires'<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.parade.com/images/-v5/celebrity/2010/0627/main-chaske-spencer-julia-jones-alex-meraz.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 417px; height: 325px;" src="http://www.parade.com/images/-v5/celebrity/2010/0627/main-chaske-spencer-julia-jones-alex-meraz.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>By Jeanne Wolf<p>The werewolf pack may hate the vampires, but they band together to battle an army of newborn bloodsuckers in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. And that gave Chaske Spencer,Alex Meraz and newcomer Julia Jones a chance to spring into action. </p><p>They told Parade.com's Jeanne Wolf why they supported their fierce leader, played by Taylor Lautner, while wishing he'd just forget about his passion for Bella. </p><p>Advice to guys suffering for love. </p><p>Julia Jones: "I guess if I had a friend like Jacob who was risking his life for a girl who was hooked on someone else, I'd probably advise him to back off. I think you can be in love with more than one person at a time, but I think only one of them can matter. You should love in the way that love can come to mean something. I think you can only have that kind of meaning with one person and that's where Bella is going. She's Edward's girl." </p><p>Holding her own as a lady werewolf. </p><p>Julia: "I was a tomboy growing up, so the action stuff felt really familiar. I have a younger brother who's about the same age as Chaske and Alex, so there was something that resonated about keeping up with them. I really loved the way my Leah wolf character looked. I was like, 'Oh my gosh. She's so cute, even though she's fierce.' She's like smaller and little bit more fragile, but she could do some damage." </p><p>Werewolves are more fun. </p><p>Chaske Spencer: "We're a little more interesting than the vampires. They have to have that serious demeanor and we can be a little looser on the set. There were moments when we definitely brought out the goofy side of Kristen Stewart every now and then." </p><p>For instance... </p><p>Alex Meraz: "In New Moon we had to run around in shorts, but because it was freezing we'd bundle up in these robes between takes. We were always joking around and pretending like we really had nothing on underneath. So I'd jump in front of Kristen and fling open my robe like I was flashing her and she was like, 'Oh God, no.'" </p><p>Why is that werewolf smiling? </p><p>Alex: "In the big battle in Eclipse, we were running in the rain in what seemed like afoot of water. My background is dancing and I feel like I'm really good on my feet. I told the rest of the cast, 'All right, you guys. It's slippery out there. Don't put any weight on your heels. Goon the balls of your feet and you'll get more traction.' So everyone else did great, but, of course, I slipped and fell. I had mud all over me. That was the take they used. If you look at me,I have a smirk on my face because they used the moment after I slipped and I was trying not to laugh." </p><p>Trying to deal with overnight fame. </p><p>Julia: "I was terrified. Sometimes, I still am. What surprised me is how grounded Taylor and Kristen are. They were the first two people I met and they were so nice and down to earth. We'd show up to work really caring and wanting to do the best we could. I feel like that bonded us and it also took away the fear." </p><p>Chaske: "No one really gives you a book on how to be a celebrity when you suddenly have fans everywhere. But there are ways to keep your life private.There are ways to conduct yourself and do good work. In the end, we're just actors. But we're very lucky actors. We tease each other a lot to keep us humble. If the ego gets too big, we cut each other down." </p><p><br /></p><p>SOURCE: Parade <a target="_blank" href="http://www.parade.com/celebrity/celebrity-parade/2010/0622-twilight-eclipse-wolf-pack.html">Article Link Here</a></p>Pink Pawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169122414179351379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799920746418459360.post-50957720630970799912010-06-23T14:58:00.000-07:002010-06-23T15:27:26.943-07:00Julia Jones: I was teased for Modeling<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cdn.bloginity.com/wp-content/uploads/Julia-Jones-Teased-.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 450px; height: 450px;" src="http://cdn.bloginity.com/wp-content/uploads/Julia-Jones-Teased-.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><p>by Team Bloginity</p><p>Julia Jones felt “alienated” throughout her teen years because everyone made fun of the fact she was a model.</p><p>The star posed for magazines throughout her teen years, stopping when she reached college because her job made her too separate from her peers.

But he soon finds himself caught in a world of action, spies, and stunts. </p> <p>Not only does the film have a great story, but Taylor is so happy to be working with great talent. “We got [director] John Singleton behind us. ... I'm so thankful we're getting a cast like that”.</p><br /><br />Source: Hollywood Crush<br />To watch the interview, click <a href="http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/2010/06/22/taylor-lautner-abduction/">here</a>Pink Pawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169122414179351379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799920746418459360.post-88835621969557539822010-06-22T18:03:00.000-07:002010-06-22T18:06:50.528-07:00lunanuevameyer@gmail.com<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/replicate/EXID14380/images/Taylor_Lautner_Kristen_Stewart_Twilight_Eclipse.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 492px; height: 720px;" src="http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/replicate/EXID14380/images/Taylor_Lautner_Kristen_Stewart_Twilight_Eclipse.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Source: the Examiner<br /><br /><p>For <strong>Taylor Lautner</strong>, putting on 30 pounds of muscle<a href="http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-14380-Celebrity-Fitness-and-Health-Examiner%7Ey2010m6d13-Taylor-Lautner-Staying-ripped-is-hard-I-can-lose-5-pounds-like-that" target="_blank"></a> for <strong>Twilight: Eclipse</strong> wasn't purely cosmetic; it was a necessity for the job!</p> <p>Lautner, 18, says his arms were burning after one particularly grueling day when he had to carry around <strong>Kristen Stewart</strong> in his arms for hours shooting retakes.</p><p>"There's a scene where I'm carrying [Kristen], and it's also, like, four pages of dialogue," Lautner told MTV<a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1641927/20100618/story.jhtml" target="_blank"></a>.

It was literally one of the most fun experiences of my life because we just have so many people, and they're people your age and in your age range, hanging around and working really hard, and feeling so passionate about their characters - and having a lot of downtime. So it's like this awesome combination of working hard and playing hard."</p><p><br /></p><p>You got really choked up at the junket when you were talking about being accepted as a Native American actress. Why are you still so emotional about that and what really gets to you?</p><p>Julia Jones: "I mean even when I think about it just now, it's such an honor. I don't know if you've ever been in a position to change people's lives or to feel like you are impacting childrens' lives,especially. I've talked to kids and I've met kids who you can literally watch their world expand because somebody that looks like them... There are very many of us, you know? I don't feel a burden; it's doesn't feel like weight to me. It feel just overwhelming sometimes."</p><p><br /></p><p>It's a vampire movie and it's going to open up doors for more Native American actors, don't you think?</p><p>Julia Jones: "Yeah, absolutely."</p><p>So isn't it strange that it's a teenage vampire movie that's getting this out there, is making this more mainstream?</p><p>Julia Jones: "Yeah. I mean if you actually break it down there are reasons.

And I don't know, it was almost like a conservatory. Everybody was just so doing their own thing and coming... I think there was a lot of trust on that set. Like everybody trusted everybody else to know what they're doing and to sort of be at the top of their game. Which, of course,they were. So it just kind of rolled along. A lot was expected so you just sort of showed up."</p><p>Different than playing a werewolf.</p><p>Julia Jones: "Yes, and all the chaos of 45 characters in the middle of nowhere, running around and doing whatever they're doing."</p><p>Watch the interview <a href="http://video.about.com/movies/Jonah-Hex-Julia-Jones.htm">here</a><br /></p><p>SOURCE: About.com<br /></p></span>Pink Pawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169122414179351379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799920746418459360.post-84539116861848092422010-06-18T19:07:00.000-07:002010-06-22T17:51:58.040-07:00Eclipse's Julia Jones is Team Jacob!The great Team Edward/Team Jacob debate continues, and Eclipse’s newest star, Julia Jones, is quick to divulge that she’s Team Jacob all the way!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://memberfiles.freewebs.com/53/86/56748653/photos/Julia-Jones-at-Events-2/22.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 402px; height: 600px;" src="http://memberfiles.freewebs.com/53/86/56748653/photos/Julia-Jones-at-Events-2/22.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Watch the video <a href="http://www.hollywoodlife.com/2010/06/18/watch-this-sorry-r-patz-fans-%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%98eclipse%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%99-star-julia-jones-is-team-jacob-all-the-way-here%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%99s-why/">here</a>.

Understandably, Leah's more than a little bitter about her new lycan status; you'd hate life, too, if your werewolf boyfriend dumped you because he "imprinted" on your BFF and you were forced to join his pack (and hear his thoughts) for all of eternity.</p> <p>That hostility leads to an amusing scene in <em>Eclipse</em> between Leah and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), the human heroine of the <em>Twilight Saga</em> who thus far has never been taken to task for stringing along poor werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Leah, as played by 29-year-old actress Julia Jones (<em>Hell Ride, Jonah Hex</em>), is as deliciously resentful as we'd imagined her, tormented by her experience on the losing end of her own love triangle with Sam and Emily and desperate to prove herself as a new member of the pack.</p> <p>In person, Julia Jones couldn't be farther from Leah Clearwater, although she understands the reasons for Leah's hostility towards the world. I caught up with her last weekend to discuss her <em>Eclipse</em> character, her rapport with her co-stars, and her role in this week's comic book-based supernatural Western, <em>Jonah Hex</em> (unfortunately, I just learned that her scenes from the latter film have been cut). She had high praise for <em>Twilight</em> co-star Taylor Lautner, with whom she'll get to play more in the upcoming <em>Breaking Dawn</em> films -- and almost as much passion for the hours of real life wolf footage she watched to prepare for her <em>Eclipse</em> role. Although she agreed that being a werewolf would have its definite drawbacks -- namely, finding yourself naked in the woods after reverting back to human form -- she looks forward to helping Leah reach her full bad ass potential in future <em>Twilight</em> sequels. </p> <p>Hit the jump for my conversation with <em>Eclipse</em> actress Julia Jones!</p> <p><strong>Describe the audition that landed you the role of Leah Clearwater. </strong></p> <p>I have had a relationship with the casting director, Rene Haynes, for a couple of years; she cast me in at least one other thing. I went in and I read for her and for David Slade, spent about 20 minutes working on the character and figuring it out, and I came back about a week later and read for Renee and David and some of the producers again. And then I waited a whole month and heard that I got it, and then I waited another month until I could tell anyone! So it was normal in the beginning, and then pretty bizarre.</p> <p><strong>What scenes did you read during the casting process? </strong></p> <p>It was a scene pretty much straight out of the book, <em>Breaking Dawn</em>. The scene where I come and tell Jacob that I want to join his pack. </p> <p><strong>That's one thing we're looking forward to seeing in <em>Breaking Dawn</em> -- seeing you and Jacob break off from the Wolf Pack to form your own separate pack. Did you get to know Taylor very well while shooting <em>Eclipse</em>? </strong></p> <p>Yeah -- we obviously worked together and we hung out a couple of times outside of filming, and I'd seen him around L.A. I adore Taylor. One thing I think people don't fully appreciate about him is how smart he is; I think there's been so much attention paid to his abs and how gorgeous he is and everything, but I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. He's a really smart kid, and incredibly talented, committed, devoted…</p> <p><strong>The werewolves in <em>Twilight</em> are supposed to be so closely, supernaturally linked, that they can hear each others' thoughts. What did all of the members of the Wolf Pack do on set to build rapport during production? </strong></p> <p>We spent a lot of time together. The boys all work out; they all go to the gym at least once a day. And I probably had most of my meals with at least one of them while I was there. We went bowling, we went to movies… just normal kinds of fun stuff. We took walks. We walked a lot, because it was so pretty in Vancouver.</p><p>Read the rest of the interview, <a href="http://www.fearnet.com/blogs/eclipse/b19361_exclusive_meet_julia_jones_eclipses.html">here</a>!</p><p><br /></p></div>Pink Pawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169122414179351379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799920746418459360.post-65778653766940147042010-06-13T21:37:00.000-07:002010-06-13T21:39:09.001-07:00Access Hollywood Talks to Alex, Chaske, and Julia<object width="400" height="400" align="middle"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://widget.accesshollywood.com/singleclip/singleclip_v1.swf?CXNID=1000004.10035NXC&WID=482a0d55893fbe3f&clipID=1233766"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://widget.accesshollywood.com/singleclip/singleclip_v1.swf?CXNID=1000004.10035NXC&WID=482a0d55893fbe3f&clipID=1233766" quality="high" wmode="transparent" width="400" height="400" align="middle" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="400" height="400" align="middle"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://widget.accesshollywood.com/singleclip/singleclip_v1.swf?CXNID=1000004.10035NXC&WID=482a0d55893fbe3f&clipID=1233799"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://widget.accesshollywood.com/singleclip/singleclip_v1.swf?CXNID=1000004.10035NXC&WID=482a0d55893fbe3f&clipID=1233799" quality="high" wmode="transparent" width="400" height="400" align="middle" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><br /><br />Source:AccessHollywoodPink Pawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169122414179351379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799920746418459360.post-29086429544963983752010-06-13T20:11:00.000-07:002010-06-13T20:14:07.384-07:00The Sexy Wolves of Eclipse<p><strong>Whether you are team Edward or Team Jacob, you have to admit that there is something mystical and wonderful about the werewolves in the Twilight Saga. Hot-blooded, mind-reading and powerful, they are just as intriguing in their own right as Edward and his Cullen brood. </strong><br /><br /><strong>We're in Beverly Hills meeting with the very first female member of the wolf pack Julia Jones who plays the feisty Leah Clearwater, hot Alex Meraz who plays Paul and pack Alpha male Sam, Chaske Spencer and they have a lot to say about on set teasing and bloopers, Kristen and Taylor setting great examples for them, their much loved Indian creation legends and how they feel a great responsibility as role models to Native American teens and kids. </strong><br /><br />Julia looks way rocker hot in a sleek, form-fitting black leather slacks and a tailored for girls motorcycle jacket by Leoffler Randall and the guys look friendly/casual in cute shirts and jeans. First we're hitting up Julia on being the new guy (uh, only girl) in the pack.....<br /><br /><strong><div style="width: 232px;" class="inline-wrap inline-right"><img alt="Julia Jones as Leah Clearwater in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." | Summit Entertainment" class="inline inline_id_15349" src="http://cdn.teenhollywood.com/inline/15349f.jpg" title="Julia Jones as Leah Clearwater in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." | Summit Entertainment" width="222" height="334" /><div class="caption">Julia Jones as Leah Clearwater in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse."</div><div class="credit">Summit Entertainment</div></div>TeenHollywood: Julia how was joining the wolf pack as the only female member? </strong><br /><br />Julia: It happened really fast. All of a sudden you're thrown into this group of boys and, for me, personally, I was a tomboy growing up so it felt really familiar. I have a younger brother the same age as some of them. So, there was something that resonated initially but over the course of filming and the press that we've been doing, it's like home. It just feels like family now and it's great.<br /><br /><strong>TeenHollywood: Were you a fan of the original Twilight film or the books? </strong><br /><br />Julia: I have a lot of friends who are big fans. I had never read them before but I had a very good friend of mine telling me about this role, Leah Clearwater and said they're going to make a movie out of these (books) and it's you! 'This is going to be your role'. It just went in one ear and other the other. 'She's sweet. She wants the best for me'.</p> <p>Then when I got the call for the audition, I've never had this happen but I was watching the Celtics/Lakers game and got this call.' You have an audition for Leah Clearwater in <em>Twilight</em>'. I had this visceral reaction. My heart started beating really fast. It was strange. <br /><br /><strong>TeenHollywood: Ah, maybe your friend was psychic. Are you a believer in the supernatural? </strong><br /><br />Julia: Yeah, I am. Yes for sure.<br /><br /><strong>TeenHollywood: What was the hardest scene for each of you? </strong><br /><br />Julia: The hardest scene for me to film was also the most fun for me. There's a scene in the midst of the big battle. It was raining and it was cold and there were so many characters in it and it was so chaotic on set and it had to happen really fast. I think it was originally scheduled to be finished in two days and it took twice that time. It was demanding physically because it was freezing and you are wearing very little and demanding emotionally. That was the challenge. After a certain point you just enjoyed yourself because it doesn't get better than that. You're with a bunch of great people in a gorgeous place doing what you love.<br /><br />Alex: I think the hardest scene is the one she's talking about. We're running and it's raining and there's about a foot of water. So I figured, my background is in dancing and I'm really good on my feet but I told the rest of the cast 'all right, guys, it's slippery out there. Don't put the weight on your heel. Go on the balls of your feet. You get more traction'. Of course, everyone else does it great but me and I slip and fall around. I've got mud all over and the shot they used, where Jacob gets his back crushed, in the background I have a smirk on because they used that shot the moment after I slipped.<br /><br /><strong>Julia: (laughing) I get there to our marks and say 'Where's Alex?' Then he gets there and he's covered with mud and (director) David says 'That's it. That's perfect!' </strong><br /><br /><strong>Chaske: We were running out and I heard you slip and say 'Ugh' and fall. I heard you drop the F-bomb. </strong><br /><br />Alex: Yeah.<br /><br /><strong>TeenHollywood: Has the Twilight franchise created more work for Native American actors outside the Twilight films? </strong><br /><br />Chaske: Yes it has. What I like about it, it's brought us to pop culture in a way that's never been done before in film. We've been around for a while. I've been around for ten years acting and it's brought us to a place where we're not always playing with 'leather and feather'. That's how we paid our dues. It's up to the media as well to accept us as being other than mystical figures and putting on the leather and feather and speaking in a res (reservation) accent. I've done that so many times. The kids are more accepting of us than anyone else. That's what's so cool.<br /></p><div style="width: 215px;" class="inline-wrap inline-left"><img alt="Alex Meraz as Paul in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." | Summit Entertainment" class="inline inline_id_15347" src="http://cdn.teenhollywood.com/inline/15347f.jpg" title="Alex Meraz as Paul in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." | Summit Entertainment" width="205" height="309" /><div class="caption">Alex Meraz as Paul in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse."</div><div class="credit">Summit Entertainment</div></div><br />Julia: That's also what excites me is we are being put in front of teens and children and people who are in the process of defining their ideas of what Native Americans are and I think that's probably the most valuable aspect of the way Native Americans are portrayed in this film. I still feel that a lot of adults are trying to figure it out. <p>I'm not an actress yet. I'm a Native American actress and it's not quite normalized to most people who grew up watching things like <em>Dances with Wolves </em>and <em>Geronimo</em> all these things.<br /><br />Alex: And it's in a contemporary setting. It's not a period piece. We don't have bows and arrows. We don't even have clothes (laughter).<br /><br />Julia: It's a step in the right direction.<br /><br />Chaske: A little give and take.<br /><br /><strong>TeenHollywood: In addition to the kids that you are hearing from, have you heard from the Quileute tribe depicted in the films? </strong><br /><br />Alex: The fascinating thing about portraying a tribe that actually does exist, the things Stephenie had taken from the tribe she mixed it in the realm of fantasy. But, now a lot of people are going to Washington state, to La Push where the Quileute tribe does reside and they're learning more. They're forced to ask questions to learn more about the culture and I think that's great that they are getting a spotlight to tell the real creation story and that's important. Fans are so into it that they want to know the root of the wolf pack.<br /><br />Chaske: All over native country, we're getting great feedback and it's about time. We've gotten massive support from our people on reservations. It's opened up a whole different door to us and it's a little pressure too because now it's almost like we have to be role models now and that's something that kind of scares me as well. That's a big load to take on.<br /><br /><strong>Julia: But it is so gratifying to hear from people who look up to you and see you in these places that they never thought they could dream to be. (She tears up a bit). It's emotional. You feel like you are opening up people's minds who otherwise thought they couldn't dream big. That's such a huge opportunity. It's such a gift. </strong><br /><br /><strong>Chaske: Statistically, we're not supposed to be here. We grew up on reservations. I don't know if any of you visit them but it's a third world country there. There's a lot of poverty, a lot of alcoholism, a lot of drug addiction so we're very fortunate to be here and we know that. </strong><br /><br /><strong>TeenHollywood: How much truth is in the Quileute wolf story portrayed in the movies? </strong><br /><br />Chaske: It's taken from an actual creation story but it's turned around. The mythology is that the descendants of the Quileute came from wolves but they weren't able to transform back and that's the part that Stephenie took and used it in the book that we can transform back and forth. She did a lot of research. I think there is creation mythology in La Push that the first white man that had ever been on the reservation, his last name was Swan. So she used little things like that and did her homework.<br /><br /><strong>TeenHollywood: Chaske, can you elaborate on the love triangle between you and Leah and Emily? </strong><br /><br />Chaske: The story of my character (Sam) is....<br /><br />Alex: He's a two-timer (laughter).<br /><br /></p><div style="width: 323px;" class="inline-wrap inline-right"><img alt="Tinsel Korey as Emily and Chaske Spencer as Sam in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" | Summit Entertainment" class="inline inline_id_15345" src="http://cdn.teenhollywood.com/inline/15345f.jpg" title="Tinsel Korey as Emily and Chaske Spencer as Sam in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" | Summit Entertainment" width="313" height="208" /><div class="caption">Tinsel Korey as Emily and Chaske Spencer as Sam in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse"</div><div class="credit">Summit Entertainment<br /><br /></div></div>Chaske: Hey, what happened is when the vampires come back, Sam becomes a werewolf and doesn't know why it was happening and went through it all by himself. He had no one there to guide him and he was dating Leah but there is this imprinting thing. When you imprint on someone, that is your soul mate and it happened to be Leah's cousin Emily.<br /><br />As Sam was going through the changes, other members of the tribe were too and he helps guide them through it, pretty much like a coach or sponsor. That's what he does with Jacob. Unfortunately when he was going through these changes, he mauls Emily and that's why she has the scars on her face. So you'll see in the movie that she (Julia as Leah) gives me some dirty looks from time to time but it's a wonderful story.<br /><br /><strong>TeenHollywood: That makes Sam a kind of tragic character. </strong><br /><br />Chaske: I was attracted to Sam because there is this tragedy there. He didn't want this in the beginning. No one would ever want that, and he had no choice and that separates us from the vampires as well. At that last minute, some of them have a choice.<br /><br /><strong>TeenHollywood: So you think Sam really feels for Jacob and understands him? </strong><br /><br />Chaske: Oh yeah, he does. He has to and actually Jacob is the rightful Alpha male but he doesn't want it so he gave it to me so I'm the unfortunate one who has to lead the pack. So, that's the story.<br /><br />Julia: It's also interesting that one of the major aspects of the wolves is that we hear each other's thoughts when we're wolves so it's almost like there is this whole other world going on in subtext in the film. I don't know how you can portray people reading each other's thoughts but there are so many layers operating for all of us. I can hear Sam's thoughts about my best friend and his thoughts of pity toward me and that's just intense.<br /><br />Chaske: Wouldn't that suck? In real life, that would suck (laughter)<br /><br />Julia: That would be terrible.<br /><br /><strong>TeenHollywood: Can some of you talk about jumping into the franchise more in the second and third films? </strong><br /><br /><div style="width: 286px;" class="inline-wrap inline-left"><img alt="Tinsel Korey as Emily, Chaske Spencer as Sam, Tyson Houseman as Quil, Bronson Pelletier as Jared, Kiowa Gordon as Embry and Alex Meraz as Paul in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." | Summit Entertainment" class="inline inline_id_15346" src="http://cdn.teenhollywood.com/inline/15346f.jpg" title="Tinsel Korey as Emily, Chaske Spencer as Sam, Tyson Houseman as Quil, Bronson Pelletier as Jared, Kiowa Gordon as Embry and Alex Meraz as Paul in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." | Summit Entertainment" width="276" height="184" /><div class="caption">Tinsel Korey as Emily, Chaske Spencer as Sam, Tyson Houseman as Quil, Bronson Pelletier as Jared, Kiowa Gordon as Embry and Alex Meraz as Paul in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse."</div><div class="credit">Summit Entertainment<br /><br /></div></div>Alex: It's definitely jumping into a hot pan, you're gonna get cooked but it's definitely exciting. I felt a lot of responsibility being role models for natives. I used to go around to reservations and teach health and wellness conferences and teach art and dance so I knew I was going to be looked at as a role model and that was scary but I just made sure first that I can represent myself in a good way and I try to prepare for it as best I could; make sure I'd read the books, did my homework and, luckily enough, made some really great friends along the way which really helped to make me comfortable with all the fame or whatever.<br /><br />Julia: I was terrified. I still sometimes am but, in the beginning, it was like you're a certain size in your life then, all of a sudden, you get much smaller. Every aspect about (the Twilight films) is much bigger than you are and you have to just accept that and enjoy it because you're a part of something that means so much to so many people. I think the thing that made it easier, the fastest was that the cast are so committed to our characters and to telling these stories.<br /><br /><strong>I was so surprised instantly at Taylor and Kristen's groundedness. They were the first two people I met and I feel like overall, we're all really grounded. We all show up for work and we really care and want to do the best we can and that bonds us. That took away the fear. </strong><br /><br />Chaske: It's easy to work with this cast. Some have been working for a while and, for some, it's their big break. What I really like is everyone is humble. Everyone knows that this is a gift we got. It's something that doesn't come around too often. When I joined this franchise I knew it was going to be big but no one gives you a book on how to operate on this level. Before I went in I put up boundaries about what I do and don't want to talk about. There are ways to keep your life private and to do good work. It's a fun ride to be on and I get to share it with these two.<br /><br />Alex: I got the book 'How to Make It in Hollywood 101' (laughter).<br /><br />Sam: Written by me (laughter).<br /><br /><strong><div style="width: 349px;" class="inline-wrap inline-right"><img alt="The wolf pack at home in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" | Summit Entertainment" class="inline inline_id_15344" src="http://cdn.teenhollywood.com/inline/15344f.jpg" title="The wolf pack at home in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" | Summit Entertainment" width="339" height="226" /><div class="caption">The wolf pack at home in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse"</div><div class="credit">Summit Entertainment</div></div>TeenHollywood: Does the wolf pack have any hazing rituals for new members? </strong><br /><br />Julia: I would say every five minutes. Alex, this is your department.<br /><br />Alex: No, no. When you know someone gets cast in these select few roles, you know they've gone through a lot. There's so many people who want to be in this franchise so you're excited for them; for Booboo or when she (Julia) got cast or Xavier (as Riley) you know that it was like 'American Idol'. Thousands of people were going out for it so the first reaction is to take your hat off and say 'congratulations' but then I just tease people a lot. It's the Paul thing.<br /><br />Chaske: In <em>New Moon</em> it was just us boys and we teased each other a lot to keep us humble as well. If the ego gets too big, we cut each other down.<br /><br />Julia: I kind of always have this feeling that there is something in my hair (cuz the guys have put it there) (laughter).<br /><br /><strong>TeenHollywood: What Native American legend did you hear as a kid or read about that you would love to see made in to a movie some day? </strong><br /><br />Chaske: For me personally, I've always had a fascination with Crazy Horse. He's from my tribe too (Lakotah Sioux) and I've read so many books about him. That's something I'd really like to bring to screen. I think I'd like to direct it. It's one of stories people don't know about. He's such a mythical figure and a leader and warrior that his character fascinates me.<br /><br />Julia: Has there been a movie made on Sacajawea? The character has been in a couple of movies but...<br /><br />Alex: "Night at the Museum". (laughter)<br /><br />Julia: That doesn't count! As a female there aren't that many notable Native American figures. Pocahontas and Sacajawea. I know stories of family members of mine but it's not the same for the girls.<br /><br />Alex: I've never thought about it but I'll start.<br /><br /><strong>TeenHollywood: Julia, you are also in <em>Jonah Hex</em>. Who are you in that? </strong><br /><br />Julia: That was also an incredible experience. I play Cassie, Josh Brolin's wife and she and our young son are killed early on in the film and that's what motivates Jonah Hex. He gets very bitter and goes around as a bounty hunter. That experience was so great because I was on set with Josh and with John Malkovich and Michael Fassbender who is an incredible actor.<br /><br />Source:<a href="http://www.teenhollywood.com/2010/06/13/the-sexy-wolves-of-eclipse">Teen Hollywood</a> via <a href="http://www.themerazeffect.com/apps/blog/show/4019476-interview-the-sexy-wolves-of-eclipse-">TheMerazEffect</a>Pink Pawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05169122414179351379noreply@blogger.com
