Robert Pattinson chats up, smokes with and works hard to befriend his newest cast and crew members of his latest project Water for Elephants filming on location in Ventura County, Ca on June 01, 2010!
“For the July issue of Vanity Fair, Norman Jean Roy photographed the spooky beauties of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse—five vampires (Dakota Fanning, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, Elizabeth Reaser, Bryce Dallas Howard) and one lone lady werewolf (Julia Jones). Nancy Jo Sales was on set, where, between takes, the girls mused on the gothic romance that has everyone palpitating.
Nikki Reed plays the disapproving Rosalie Cullen. Here’s her take on the story’s appeal: “Bella and Edward’s love is very taboo and forbidden,” says Reed, “and I think that kind of represents all youthful relationships, because that’s what all first loves feel like. … It’s sort of borderline, like, insane.”
Elizabeth Reaser, who plays vampire mom Esme, exclaims on the attractive young men of Twilight: “Oh, it gets so old, you have no idea,” says Reaser. “It has no effect on me. They’re all gorgeous and lovely boys. … You just want someone interesting and weird at a certain point. I have a massive crush on Larry David.”
Bryce Dallas Howard, a replacement actress playing vampire-with-a-vengeance Victoria, is a Twihard: “I had seen Twilight innumerable times. After I saw it for the fourth time, one of my best guy friends, for my birthday, made me Post-it notes with Robert Pattinson’s face that said, ‘Live Dangerously,’ because I was so obsessed. My husband actually said to me, ‘Do I need to be worried about this?’”
Ashley Greene, who plays psychic vampire Alice, anticipates success: “You don’t have to be psychic to know how this movie’s going to do,” she says. “Obviously, it’s going to be a hit.”
Aussie Twilight Mum Gen had a wonderful experience at Luna Park Last Night, here’s what she said:
Dreams Can Come True: You just have to believe..and campaign hard!
“As soon as they released the information that Kristen Stewart & Taylor Lautner were coming to Australia for a promotional tour I got so excited! I thought, here is the chance for me to try to break into the media game and see if I could get an interview!
Getting an interview with ANY celebrity is hard and basically this was going to be near-to-impossible, but it didn’t stop me from trying! I started a Facebook campaign to “Let this Twi-Mum Interview Kristen & Taylor”. I campaigned hard, contacted every media outlet I could think of, including publicists! I had over 400 group members who were also helping me along! By Tuesday I realised we needed to step it up a notch, so I asked for people to send me their pics holding a sign saying they wanted me to interview them. We ended up with almost 100 photos! It was amazing. I recorded a quick video and put everything together and uploaded to YouTube! I had everyone sending it around the world and all over the media!
I hadn’t received any nibbles at all! On Monday morning, the day of the Q&A I was going to be attending the outdoor Q&A with fellow Aussie Twilight Mums. I was going to have fun no matter what the weather was like! I had heard that the stars would walk the carpet to greet fans at 7pm so thought as long as I got a glimpse then I would be eternally happy!
I received correspondence early Monday afternoon asking to contact a publicist. Wasn’t sure what was going on, but phoned immediately! He informed me that he had seen my campaign on Facebook and the video! Channel 7 wanted to do a news interview on me as a Twi-Mum! Rushing through my day I got to Luna Park and was met with the publicist for Nova radio. He said that the news crew as well as the “Drive Team” consisting on Ryan, Monty & Whippa wanted to meet me. We taped a small interview piece and then the Drive Team congratulated me on the campaign and said they had a surprise! They then presented me with the last indoor pass into the Q&A!!!! I was so incredibly excited!!!!!!!!!
There was a pre-function where we had yummy food and drinks! I chatted with some lovely ladies and we quickly found out that we were all “Team Robert Pattinson”!!!!! We moved into the Big Top and the stage was beautiful! They had fairy lights everywhere, blue tones. They had 2 side screens and a settee for Kristen & Taylor to sit on. Behind them was a screen with the Newborns in the water. Light boxes with flowers and Eclipse signs plus more fairy lights completed the setting.
The Q&A was fun. Throughout the interview it was apparent that Kristen & Taylor are close friends. During the showing of the clips, they’d be whispering in each others ears, laughing or pushing each other with a shared joke! The energy between them made everyone smile.
Afterwards both Kristen & Taylor headed outside to greet everyone that had been braving the cold and rain. It was great. I had the opportunity to find a spot that no one was standing at and I waited! At one time I didn’t think they were coming down our way, but then it happened!! Both Taylor and Kristen passed in front smiling, signing autographs and speaking to the fans. When the publicist said no pics so that Kristen could get to everyone she was still more than happy to offer a hug!
It was a night I’ll never forget! Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would get to meet Kristen & Taylor!”
and here is Gen’s TV spot from the Channel 7 News:
Twilight Saga stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner arrived in Sydney on the weekend and got straight down to the business of having fun.
Lautner, who plays werewolf Jacob Black in the hugely popular vampire flicks, flew into Sydney on a Qantas flight from LA on Saturday night.
Stewart, who plays Bella Swan, arrived at 6.30am (AEST) on Sunday.
They are in Australia to promote the latest Twilight movie in the series.
The pair enjoyed a jet boat ride on Sydney Harbour on Sunday, before paying a visit to Featherdale Wildlife Park in the city’s west.
They saw koalas, baby crocodiles and wombats during the trip.
On Sunday evening they had dinner at Bondi Icebergs.
Both were driven around in a convoy of Cadillac Escalade SUVs amid tight security and heavy media interest.
Teen heart-throb and Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson is not with them, but fans will get a chance to meet their idols.
Stewart and Lautner are due to be grilled by fans in a Q&A session at Sydney’s Luna Park on Monday.
So-called Twi-hards lucky enough to score tickets to the event will be treated to a screening of the second Twilight movie New Moon after the Q&A.
But the Twilight love isn’t limited to Sydney.
Fans across the country will be able to watch a live feed of the Q&A broadcast to selected cinemas nationally, to be followed by a screening of New Moon.
Kristen is going to be featured in an upcoming issue of Elle Magazine. Here is just a snippet:
“On the madness that has become her life: “It’s insane! Once somebody finds out, you have to get the hell out of wherever you are. People freak out. And the photographers, they’re vicious. They’re mean. They’re like thugs. I don’t event want to drive around by myself anymore. It’s fucking dangerous.”
On her loss of privacy: “Somebody knocked on my hotel room door and asked for a light, then said that they were a big fan. I was like, ‘Do you really need me to light your cigarette? How do you know what room I’m in?’ I can’t be by myself and I like being by myself.”
On criticism of her public manner: “I think it’s funny that when I go onstage to accept an award, they think I’m nervous, uncomfortable, and awkward—and I am—but those are bad words for them.”
On her red-carpet demeanor: “People say that I’m miserable all the time. It’s not that I’m miserable, it’s just that somebody’s yelling at me…I literally, sometimes, have to keep myself from crying…It’s a physical reaction to the energy that’s thrown at you.”
On caring: “I hate it when they say I don’t give a shit, because nobody cares more than I do. I’m telling you I don’t know anybody who does this that gives a shit more than I do.”
On Team Edward vs. Team Jacob: “I would never cheapen my relationships by talking about them. People say, ‘Just say who you’re dating. Then people will stop being so ravenous about it.’ It’s like, No they won’t! They’ll ask for specifics.”
“Robert Pattinson arrives at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) from London, England. Pattinson’s entourage included 2 Bodyguards, a cast driver and a member of the Vancouver Police Department who helped escort him from a hotel loading bay area”
