Rachelle LeFevre Dishes on Victoria in New Moon: Stunts Galore

Posted: 18 Jul 2009 11:56 AM PDT

Canadian actress Rachelle LeFevre plays bad-vamp Victoria in New Moon, and she talks to HitFix in-depth about her experience filming New Moon while she was in Vancouver. In particular, she reveals quite a bit about the type of stunts we’ll see in the movie–

Q: So, we get to see you jump from 25 feet up in a tree down to the ground? There’s leaping off trees to the ground. There’s leaping up in the air from trees to other trees. I was about 40-feet up just hanging out looking like I was just kind of standing there. There’s a lot of that. And then my stunt double, who spent five years with Cirque du Soleil did some very cool like backflips and things like that on the wires. Yeah, being thrown around by werewolves you’d be like in one place one minute and then they pull [and] you’re like hooked up to wire and then they’ll pull the wires and then you get yanked up flying into the air and your body’s folded in half. It’s very cool.

Rachelle also reveals that there will be a slight change from Twilight–she’ll now wear shoes instead of going barefoot! Find out why after the break.

 

Q: Is Victoria still walking around barefoot? No, Stephanie gave us permission for me to be wearing shoes in this.

Q: Really? Because there was so much stunt work that it would have really jeopardized our safety. And, you know, Stephanie always has to have a reason for every thing. So there was a whole conversation about why Victoria should be allowed to wear her shoes. And the idea was that the barefoot thing was something that they do together, I guess the three of them. Laurent, Victoria and James, and that was one part. And now it’s Victoria on her own and she’s a hunter and she’s out for Bella and it’s a mission. And so I insisted that if I wear shoes that they be like military of some kind to sort of symbolize that I was on a mission so I’m wearing combat boots.

Jamie Bower on Appearance of Caius in New Moon

Posted: 21 Jul 2009 08:15 AM PDT

Jamie Campbell-Bower, who plays Caius in new moon, spoke to Fandango about his role in the movie, along with his visual appearance in the film–

Q. How come you’re not wearing your vampire red contacts right now? Campbell Bower: They hurt. They don’t hurt so much as make me feel a bit sick because my peripheral vision is very much impaired when I have them in.

Q. How would you describe Caius’ look? Campbell Bower: I had a discussion with (costume designer) Tish (Monaghan), and we figured out that Caius probably doesn’t get to go out that much, so… he just steals his clothes from previous victims. The style is nice and smart and sleek and slim and – yeah, I like it. It’s very Italian, and I like the shoes, particularly.

Q. How much is expanded on in the 18th century flashback scenes? Campbell Bower: A little bit – not very much as far as the Volturi go. It’s awesome. It does look really cool and it will be kind of shocking. I don’t want to go too far and ruin it for anyone.

Rachelle LeFevre ‘Stunned’ Over the Role of Victoria Being Recast for Eclipse

Posted: 29 Jul 2009 03:46 PM PDT

As we reported earlier, Rachelle Lefevre will no longer be reprising her role as the evil Vampire, Victoria, in The Twilight Saga -Eclipse. Instead, Victoria will be played by none other than Bryce Dallas Howard.

We were given very little details as to how this came about, and the main reason being why?

Access Hollywood is now reporting that Rachelle Lefevre was “shocked” and “stunned” by what has happened -

“I was stunned by Summit’s decision to recast the role of Victoria for ‘Eclipse,’” Rachelle said in a statement to Access Hollywood.

On Tuesday, Summit announced that Bryce Dallas Howard would be taking on the role in “Eclipse,” due in May 2010.

“I was fully committed to the ‘Twilight’ saga, and to the portrayal of Victoria,” Rachelle continued, explaining the turn of events that led to the casting change. “I turned down several other film opportunities and, in accordance with my contractual rights, accepted only roles that would involve very short shooting schedules. My commitment to ‘Barney’s Version’ is only ten days. Summit picked up my option for ‘Eclipse.’ Although the production schedule for ‘Eclipse’ is over three months long, Summit said they had a conflict during those ten days and would not accommodate me. Given the length of filming for ‘Eclipse,’ never did I fathom I would lose the role over a 10 day overlap. I was happy with my contract with Summit and was fully prepared to continue to honor it. Summit chose simply to recast the part.”

The star concluded her statement with a regretful tone.

“I am greatly saddened that I will not get to complete my portrayal of Victoria for the ‘Twilight’ audience. This is a story, a theatrical journey and a character that I truly love and about which I am very passionate. I will be forever grateful to the fan support and loyalty I’ve received since being cast for this role, and I am hurt deeply by Summit’s surprising decision to move on without me. I wish the cast and crew of ‘Eclipse’ only the very best,” she said.

The Top 10 New Moon Facts Unveiled at Comic Con

Posted: 29 Jul 2009 03:00 PM PDT

Rotten Tomatoes unleashes the Top 10 New Moon Facts released at this years Comic Con in San Diego.

1. Summit Entertainment knows its audience, evidenced by the two scenes they brought to Comic-Con. Whether you’re Team Edward or Team Jacob, there was a shirtless scene for you. Who wanted to see the birthday party scene or the cliff diving scene, when they could get their first peek at Jacob Black hopping valiantly off a bike to strip naked to tend to an almost-drooling Bella? Or watch as Bella raced across Volterra in vain as Edward opened his shirt, stepping into the sunlight? It was such an amazing sight, Bella started running in slow motion.

2. Director Chris Weitz will use a lot of dialogue straight from the book. This was one of the biggest points of contention with the first Twilight, into which screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg had written quotes directly from Meyer’s text — with varying results. (”And so the lion fell in love with the lamb,” to which non-fans groaned inwardly.) In both scenes shown at Comic-Con, the majority of dialogue was taken from the pages of New Moon and filmed quite closely to what we imagined.

3. Taylor Lautner is the press-friendly celebrity star that New Moon needed. Compared to his co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, Lautner has just the right youthful vigor and enthusiasm (read: he’s not jaded yet) to turn Twilight press events into, well, downright energetic press events. Deposited between Stewart and Pattinson in Thursday’s early morning press conference, Lautner picked up the slack whenever his co-stars trailed off; the kid’s been well prepared. I mean, have you seen that Sharkboy-era dancing video?

4. Kristen Stewart knows that Bella is a head case in New Moon. Critics who thought Bella was unhealthily dependent on Edward in the first Twilight film, or even that his behavior was borderline stalker-ish, will likely seize on her obvious psychological issues in the sequel. When those criticisms come, Stewart’s fully prepared. “This is a severely emotional movie,” she told journalists. “That’s the one big difference. This movie is not about discovery or falling in love, which is sort of just an intense emotion, but this is low and there high points for her, too. She’s a manic depressive, basically.”

5. A year later, Kristen Stewart’s life is just as crazy and her answers just as wry as they were during Twilight. The build-up to the first Twilight film transformed its stars’ lives into a constant media circus, with fans even stampeding a mall just to see Pattinson. Asked if life was any different with the sequel on the horizon, Lautner said now he was “really, really busy” and Pattinson noted that he walks down the street hoping not to be noticed. Stewart deadpanned that her only life change was the stylistic kind: “I cut my hair off.”

Personally #7 is my fav, and is the funniest! You’ll have to refer to the rest of the list over at RottenTomatoes.com to see what it is!

Ashley Greene Talks About Kissing Kellan Lutz

Posted: 29 Jul 2009 12:30 PM PDT

Ashley Greene gets to lay a wet one on Kellan Lutz for their upcoming movie Warrior. And we are all jealous!

Ashley was interviewed by Celebuzz at this years Comic-con. When asked if it was awkward to kiss Kellan because they play siblings in the Twilight Saga Movies, Ashley responded:

“No, it wasn’t, because Kellan and I know each other so well, it was kind of a no-brainer. And again, we’ve already got this kind of chemistry, so no it wasn’t hard at all,” Greene told us. “I was kind of wondering about that because he is one of my very close friends, and we definitely have a platonic relationship, so playing romantic, I was wondering if it was going to be hard or easier, but because we are already so comfortable with each other it was actually less awkward than kissing someone I didn’t know.”

I don’t think I would have a hard time doing that either. I mean its a job, someone has to do it right?!

You can read the rest of the kiss all over here.

Here are some pictures from the set of Warrior (as previously posted). Enjoy!

Nerd World Interview with Chris Weitz

Posted: 01 Aug 2009 04:33 PM PDT

Nerd World (a Time magazine blog) sat down with New Moon director Chris Weitz recently, to discuss all things New Moon, and how massive the fan base is -

It’s like Beatlemania.

That’s the only thing I can think of, the Beatles. You see old footage of that type of thing. It happened in Montepulciano, when we were shooting there. It was like The Birds, but with young girls. You’d turn a corner and there would be one or two or three. And the next time you looked there would be 10, 20, 50, 100.

Then before you know it gas stations are exploding.

Exactly. I think basically the panel today would have worked perfectly for the fans if it had just been us sitting there, and they could just look at Rob and Taylor. Maybe Rob and Taylor would move a little.

Taylor seems the most comfortable with this level of scrutiny. He doesn’t squirm as much.

It’s funny. In a way he’s the least prepared for the intense scrutiny, but he’s very balanced about it. Whereas I think Rob and Kristen are very sheepish about it. Not that they don’t appreciate it. But they’re thrown a bit by it.

I guess I should ask you about the actual movie. How done is it?

It’s pretty done. It has to be done. It has to come out on November 20. Which means we sort of have to hand it over October 30. Which means the picture has to lock August 30. And so in a few weeks it’ll be locked, the visual effects are in good shape, all the R&D on the more complicated, more ephemeral effects is being completed.How weird was it, stepping into somebody else’s franchise?

It was a bit odd at first. But then again it’s pretty amazing to have a huge fan base just dropped into your lap. And it was a pleasure to be able to deliver faithfully on a book. With Golden Compass I felt that by being faithful to the book I was working at odds with the studio. But Summit understands that it’s Stephenie Meyer’s world, and really it’s about recreating the experience the reader has, in some kind of faithful manner. Creating a picture that doesn’t violate too badly the picture they have in their minds.

I hope there’s sparkling in this one.

There will be lots of sparkling.

Did you read that? LOTS of sparkling. Hopefully they can get it as realistic as a Vampire sparkling in the sun could be!!

Robert Pattinson’s Favorite Scene in New Moon

Posted: 31 Jul 2009 07:30 PM PDT

According to FanBolt.com, Robert Pattinson revealed what his favorite scene in New Moon is: The Break Up -

“I think my breakup scene was my favorite scene. I mean, hopefully it’ll come off as having quite a few more levels than the relationship in ‘Twilight’. It was interesting. It was like a five page long dialogue scene. That didn’t happen at all in the first one and it’s quite an interesting little moment. It completely bypasses all the supernatural elements of the story, as well, which I found quite interesting.” Pattinson explained.

I’m looking forward to seeing this on screen. It was extremely well written in the book, and I would love to see it played out. However, I will be well equipped with tissues and wearing water proof mascara!
