And for all that is freakin' holy..there are NINE days left until my butt will be in the theatre with a huge ass bag of popcorn,drink,some sour patch kids and quite possibly a brown paper bag for hyperventilating. That new TV spot? Yup. It made me fan girl. Not sure why.
Here we have the Gold Magazine scans, phew-this one took a lot out of me for my first post of the day!!
Enjoy!

9 DAYS!!
MORE SCANS AND THE TRANSLATION AFTER THE JUMP!!
In the book, eventhough you leave Bella, you are very present in her thoughts. It is difficult to represent it on the screen? How did you manage?
Rob: In the book, she hears the voice of Edward, but we used another method in the film: she has hallucinations, fleeting appearances of Edward. Would have been a bit corny to do it with only my voice.
Kristen: Everything is in the suggestion. It’s the memory she has of him, not necessarily what he really is.
Can you tell us about the transformation of Jacob and the transformation you had to go through for the role?
Taylor: I knew the character changed a lot and if I wanted to continue to play the character, I knew I would have a lot of work to do … So, when I had finished working on Twilight, I got into sports, I had a private personal trainer, I started to eat healthier: less sugar, protein and good carbohydrates, etc. In short, it was a lot of work, but it really was worth the shot.
Bella’s character developes more in this new movie. What is difficult preparing for this role?
No, I wouldn’t say it was harder to prepare for this movie than it was for the first. It’s a film full of emotions, that’s the big difference. We talks about the discovery or falling in love, a moment of intense emotions, then we talk about its ups and downs, the fact that basically she is a bit manic-depressive. Ror me there was no difference, it’s a bit more intense and I was asked to reflect more on it; it’s a role somewhat more mature, not only because she’s older but also because she faces many new things.
What fans will appreciate the most in the film?
Taylor: The action scenes. The history that was happened between Bella and Edward in the first film is broken early in the second movie. And everything is complicated until the very end.
Kristen: Yes, it’s not an easy story. Twilight was all about the internal conflict of two people who threw themselves at each other so very impulsively. But we had much more to think about this time, like it had much more to do with instincts in this movie. This film is much more intense. In here, people are not just sad. They’re so sad they want to die. Of course these things exist in real life, but in the film we made it seem stronger, harder.
Does the fact that the public is divided into groups, Team Edward, who wants him to stay with Bella, and Team Jacob, which prefers the couple of Bella-Jacob, influence your performance?
Taylor: Everything is crazy, about this franchise, that’s why we love so much, and that’s why fans love it so much. It’s true that many fans are split and take sides with one or the other. I happen to be a little nervous about this idea because I try to live up to expectations and defend Team Jacob the best possible. I do not want to disappoint, so I worked hard intellectually but also emotionally and physically for the role.
Edward is much less present in this film than in the previous … What did you do to ensure that the fans are not too disappointed?
Kristen: No, no. You’re still going to see him a lot.
Rob: They will not be disappointed. But if Edward has to be left a little behind, it’s so people can miss him. The film is precisely about the longing, the emptyness and the complete darkness because Edward’s gone.
With a new director at the helm of this sequel, did you feel like working on very different a film from the first?
Rob: It wasn’t just he change of director that made things very different this time. There’s also the fact that this time we knew the beast, we knew a little bit more what we were dealing with.
In this film, I have a more of a secondary role. I started three weeks after the start of filming and the first scenes I shot were many scenes of hallucinations, in which I did not say more than two words. So it was probably one of the most relaxing jobs I ever had! Chris has a very calming presence, and I feel so good with him. To have no stress from the job for three months was great. It was Taylor who had to deal with the pressure! (laughs).
Taylor, what did you feel like the first time you saw your transformation on screen?
Taylor: I thought the transformation into a wolf to be vey well done. I was very happy with it. I am very happy that there’s now werewolves in the story because their presence adds the double of action to it. They also bring a new dynamic: it is not just the love story between a human and a vampire either, it’s a love triangle. it’s very exciting.
Is there a scene in the movie that you particularly enjoyed more than the rest? If so, which?
Kristen: In fact, your favorite scene was found not to be your favorite scene of all, if I remember correctly.
Taylor: Yes, it’s true! There are many scenes like that, so it’s a very difficult question for me. I liked the action scenes, but there was this very short scene that I found adorable.
Kristen: Which one?
Taylor: One it’s when I walk Bella to her front door, and the second one when I say good-bye before going off to fight in the woods. We see that she is concerned, she is afraid for me. I thought it was cute. But I also like the scene of the break up.
Kristen: Yeah, me too. It was my favorite scene too. He means Bella and Jacob’s break up scene, because he basically says to her that they can’t be friends anymore, after he transforms himself into a wolf.
Taylor: And it was difficult to shoot because it was two degrees and they had to pour water on us because it was supposed to be raining, and it was water that was directly taken from a nearby spring, it was awful.
Rob: For me, it was my break up scene that was my favorite. This will make their relationship heavier in a sense, and a little bit more responsible, the it was in Twilight.
There were like fifty pages of dialogue in this scene, it was so interesting, it completely bypasses the supernatural elements of the story also, I think.
In your opinion why is it that so many people enjoy this story? Is it because the themes, the characters, the subject of darkness, the sentimental story?
Kristen: The reason is the same with other movies, people identify themselves with the characters. I often say that because it is a narrative in the first person, so it’s like being inside this person’s head and they feel even closer to that person. It almost feels that it’s happening to us. What do you guys think?
Rob: I think we’re the last persons you should be asking. But I don’ know. The thing is, I never saw the story as a vampire story to begin with. When I play the character, I try to eliminate the vampire element as much as possible and not to see a tool to make their relationship a little more intense. Immediately after passing the audition, I felt strangely invested in this story when I did not even read the books before, and I am more and more attached. In
recent weeks, talking about the scenario of Eclipse to friends, I realized that I was very argumentative, which is not like me much. This story has real power.
As readers, what book do you prefer, and as actors, on which movie are you most looking forward to work?
Taylor: My favorite book is Eclipse. There’s so much action. There’s more and more action as the series progresses. I like this aspect. Twilight depicts the love story between Bella and Edward, New Moon sets up the friendship between Bella and Jacob, but in Eclipse, the three are all together. They have to team up and make sure to agree to everything to protect Bella. I find this to be the most important part in the series, when we see the love triangle in action. Can’t wait to work on that.
Kristen: I liked New Moon because it allowed me to push my limits. I feel that after this, everything else is piece of cake for Bella, she is very, very strong, satisfied and happy. But in the second book, she’s nothing, she is literally, totally lost. But yes, without a doubt, it’s my favorite.
Rob: I think I also prefer New Moon. Edward is such an extreme character that everyone sees as a romantic hero and suddenly, in New Moon, at least is the impression I had while reading it, he receives a lesson in humility. He says he loves her too much to stay with her and deliberately destroys their relationship. I think this is very painful, which I can identify with. And then there is the battle scene at the end, during which ultimately Bella saves Edward.
It’s funny that the whole world see him as the hero when it is systematically the damsel in distress who saves him.
How much have your lives changed since last summer?
Rob: I think that my life have not changed too much. I do not think I have changed too much either. I am walking very much with my head down these days, I wonder if I’ll have neck problems soon! (laughs). No, it’s quite extraordinary and I think none of us expected this, especially since the amplitude of the franchise keeps growing. We first realized it at last year’s Comic Con and it got bigger and bigger after it. It’s interesting to be confronted with it.
Taylor: Another thing for me, that has changed a lot, even if it’s obvious, it’s my schedule: I’m busy doing promotion and working on other projects. And it’s crazy! None of us had imagined it, but since last year, it really exploded.
Kristen: I got a haircut.
