MTV’s Tim Kash interviewed Catherine Hardwicke he said…….

Hi, Twilighters! Today, I had the great pleasure of spending the day at the home of “Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke. She has a beautiful place a stone’s throw away from the world-famous Venice Beach, and we paid her a visit to talk about her film’s seven nominations at the MTV Movie Awards and relive the first time Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson met.

It was a great day of filming, and believe me: “Twilight” fans are not going to want to miss any of this!

We talked about the first “chemistry screen test” between Kristen and Rob. Kristen had to act out a scene with five different potential Edwards, one after another, with Catherine deciding that Robert was “the one” the first time the two kissed — which, as all Twilighters know, happened in Catherine’s bedroom.

That all led up to the scene that is now a favourite to win Best Kiss at this Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards. Apparently, both actors were nervous — so nervous that Rob actually fell off the bed during the audition. But then, once he was in the rhythm of things, Catherine actually had to remind Robert that the film was PG-13 as he was getting a little too … well, you can use your imagination.
