NEW MOON NEWS

FANDANGO’s Scott Huver had an exclusive interview with Robert Pattinson recently and we get a decent insight about NEW MOON and of course  more of Robert’s movie Little Ashes and his new project ‘Remember Me’ initially called Memoirs.  COOL ARTICLE read more here!

Fandango: You’re just getting started shooting New Moon. How are things going? 
Pattinson: The interesting thing about this one is that so much of my character is in Bella’s head. It’s based on a mixture of memories and nightmares. Bella thinks she is going mad. I get to do some really creepy stuff. In other words, Bella is really frightened of [her hallucinations]. It’s really, really different than Twilight. I think that a lot of people will be kind of scared by this one. I wanted to try and put that into Twilight but I couldn’t really find a way to make Edward scary.

Fandango: How is working with the new director, Chris Weitz? 
Pattinson: He’s a great guy. He’s very, very talented, and articulate. I guess it must be kind of stressful for him to take this on. It’s got so much expectation. He just seems very calm about everything.

Fandango: What was it like attending the Academy Awards for the first time? 
Pattinson: I got there and then I’m sitting in the second row. It was unbelievable. I keep thinking that something terrible is going to happen. “Death” is the only thing I’m thinking the whole time. I just used up all my luck so I’m probably going to die at 23 or something.

Fandango: You contributed a couple of songs to the Twilight soundtrack. Are you still pursuing music, and will you be doing more for New Moon? 
Pattinson: I’m in talks to do a soundtrack for another movie, composing. I cannot say what it is yet, but I really, really, really want to do. I don’t think I’m going to have anything on New Moon, but never say never.

There’s another interview of Peter Facinelli at the “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” premiere by Rebecca Murray at About.com: Hollywood Movies. Peter’s talking about the scenes that he has done and look out for the huge spoiler about Breaking Dawn (for those who have not read the book!) and a new series where he’ll will be starring as a doctor who has this really weird tourettes, a new dramedy.

Where are you so far?

Peter Facinelli: “Well, nothing’s shot in order but we’ve shot the…let’s see…the birthday scene. We’ve shot that. And we’ve the voting scene. I’m not going to tell you what we all voted, but read the book. What else did we shoot? I shot stitching up Bella which was a lovely little scene. I pretty much mostly almost finished. I have a couple other shots to do in May and then we’re done.”

Have they added more Cullen family scenes?

Peter Facinelli: “You know, it’s hard because when you’re doing stuff that’s based on a book, if you add too much that’s not in there the fans don’t like it. I think we’re… There’s always going to be creative interpretations of stuff. But as far as adding stuff, there’s so much in it already, it’s hard to add. You have a 500 page book that you’ve got to squeeze down to two hours.”

Have you gotten used to the Twilight fans?

Peter Facinelli: “I don’t know if you ever get used to them. They’re not weird. I love them. I love each and every one of them. No, they’re great. They’re the best fans that you can have. They’re so loyal. We’ve had people camping out all night long on the sets.”

For this one, too?

Peter Facinelli: “Yeah, oh yeah. People are like literally in sleeping bags. We shot all night – you know, night shoots – because vampires like to shoot at night. And then we’d come out at 5 in the morning and they’d be in sleeping bags.”

And having Chris [Weitz] as the director this time?

 

 

Peter Facinelli: “Fantastic. You know, the second time around it’s a little easier. You feel like you have like a little bit more money it feels like. The atmosphere is calmer. I think it’s going to be good. It’s kind of nice having different perspectives, you know, film to film. They just announced the third director too.”
