Kellan Was The Action Stunt 'Guinea Pig' On The Set Of 'Eclipse'

Despite how much we love the Cullens, they really lose a lot of screen time in "The Twilight Saga" to the love story between Bella and Edward. That leaves the actors cast in the roles without too much to do in the earlier films, and is one of the reasons Kellan Lutz said they were most looking forward to "Eclipse."

"It sucks that I can't rewrite the books and add more dialogue for Emmett, because I really do have more action scenes than dialogue. So it's great when 'Eclipse' came around, 'cause I do love the book the best, and I think it just had such a great mix of the romance and the action and the collaboration of the two," he told MTV News.

And though Kellan does like receiving lines as Emmett, he also confessed that he just loves to do the action sequences.
"I just love doing my own stunts. I love stunt work," he said. "I love to work, so it's really great when Emmett's in there, and he's there to fight. So I really just loved doing stunts."
Fortunately there are a lot of those in "Eclipse," but Kellan actually ended up getting a bit more work than what appears on the big screen.
"The producers know I like doing the stunts so much, to the point where they make me the guinea pig," he laughed. "So we were doing this treadmill running sequence, where you're wearing these contacts and you're breathing in exhaust from the truck, and it's cold as hell up there, so you're trying to run and I'm trying to look cool and not pant, 'cause I'm a vampire, and you do it like eight times and I'm like, guys, do we got this? And they're like, Oh, we haven't even shot yet. We're just rehearsing to make sure the trees are right."
