Thanks Twilight Poison for posting and translating these French magazine interviews .
Oh and thank you to your mom who got them for you. = )
Here is Taylor's Interview:
Hello Taylor! Let’s dive into the most interesting of our topics: in New Moon you transform into a werewolf, what was that like?
Jacob’s a completely different character now. In the first film, he’s very shy and reserved. He’s very clumsy. But on the other hand, when he transforms himself he’s a completely different “person”, he’s strong and he’s very agile. I love the duality of this character, but it can also be a bit frustrating.
So it seems like you’re not really in the scenes of the werewolf action?
Yeah! Jacob is on his best shape, but in all his action scenes he’s in his wolf form. There’s so many scenes, and it’s a bit frustrating that I can’t be part of them and completely be the character. I would love it if I could turn into a werewolf in real life, but it’s impossible! (laughs).
Coming back to Twilight, did you have any idea of how things were going to turn out?
Oh no! Never. When I was auditioning I never thought I would have the opportunity to play this character more than once; I had no idea what Twilight was, what the books were, I didn’t know anything about the characters or the story itself. And then things changed and I noticed that it was a huge thing and that people were very passionate about it. It was amazing. The fans are crazy, it’s unbelievable! When I say they’re crazy, is not in a bad way. I mean that they’re very expressive and they want us to know how much they love the books and the movies (laughs). Sometimes I can’t believe it’s happening to me.
What has been the hardest thing for you in Twilight and New Moon?
Working out! Because if the characters are growing on a mental level between the two films, they’re also growing on a physical level. So when Jacob starts to turn into a werewolf, he’s in his best shape ever. He can’t look like a kid anymore. So I locked inside a gym with my personal trainer, I ate a lot, healthily, I avoided all sugars and took energy drinks. It was one of the worst moments of my life, but it was very well worth it.
Well you can relax now! Everything is fine!
(laughs) I can’t really relax because we only have a short break before we return to film Eclipse in Vancouver, that’s the next film. And I have to say that judging by some of the scenes, we’re going to have to be in our best shape for this one, physically and mentally. It looks like the process is going to be longer and harder.
What were your favorite scenes of New Moon?
I loved the action scenes, there’s just so much action in this one. But if I had to chose one it would be scene where Bella sees Jacob for the first time after his transformation. She goes to his house and his hair is short now, and he tells her “We can’t be friends anymore”. It was a very emotional scene.
Kristen's Interview:
Hello Kristen! Before we talks about New Moon, let’s talk about the success of Twilight. What can you say about it?
To be honest I’m not very surprised of the success of the film. But on the other hand, it’s still funny that it had so much success in return with very small means. Nobody would’ve bet on us before the release of the movie. So I understand now why people are trying to find an explanation to it. He just made a film with very little money. The story itself is based on simple things, with simple people, while it’s helped people identify wi the characters.
In handsight, what do you think makes you similar to Bella?
Actually, I didn’t work as hard as you’d think to play Bella, because we’re very similar. Bella is very similar to me, because we’re not like the rest of the girls that look for dozens of things to make them happy. She’s fairly open to the world and doesn’t ask for anything.
In New Moon things change also for Bella. What can you say about it?
She changes a lot, yes. In the first movie she’s very brave because she takes the risk of leaving the world she knows to be with Edward and his family, without knowing what will happen. This made her feel things she had never felt before. She matured, and when we mature, we don’t see things the way we used. The life she lives now with Edward is very different that everything she knew before, in the first film, but that alone doesn’t explain the changes in Bella.
Edward leaves, Bella gets closer to Jacob. Is your relationship with Taylor Lautner very different this time around?
I don’t know. taylor is someone I love very much, especially for his honesty. He’s a very open person, willing to listen to others. In the movie, Edward’s absence makes things complicated and Bella inevitably gets closer to Jacob. She sees him in a way she hadn’t seen him before. Bella feels like she can trust Jacob with everything, and that’s the feeling I get in real from Taylor. Someone who is very nice and I can tell him anything.
With the arrival of a new director, has anything changed too much?
Yes and no. It has changed a lot in the sense that he’s brought a new way for us to work in. He takes us in different directions, but he has remained faithful to the film. And then in the next film he will not come back, we’ll have David Slade. And that’s not a problem. If we had done the four films in a row, that would’ve been more complicated, but between films we have the time to rest or do other activities. And that’s great, and it’s easier for the team to have a real transition between each chapter.
