New Moon News

Brazil’s Globo.com has video of the New York premiere of The Twilight Saga: New Moon and the cast were asked about they’re obsessions.

EW did an interview with Michael Sheen who plays Aro. The writer is pretty oblivious of Sheen’s credentials in the horror-action genre. The guy played Lucian the Werewolf in the Underworld series. And to call the Twilight Series frothy? Michael Sheen obviously has more insight puts it right with the quoted text.

What do you think audiences are responding to with Twilight?
I think it’s a whole combination of things coming together. Especially for adolescent girls and also for older audiences, Stephenie [Meyer] takes the incredibly powerful experiences you have as a teenager and treats them absolutely fearlessly and gives them the respect they deserve. The first book and film are about the first time you fall in love. And New Moon is all about the first time your heart is broken. These are some of the most powerful experiences you can have in your life, regardless of your age. And there is a tendency to kind of trivialize those things as you get older, to kind of be patronizing about those things. And Stephenie treats them absolutely seriously. She also, very cleverly in a way, said that the vampires are stunningly gorgeous as a way to lure their prey. That’s very clever because in casting the film you have very beautiful people who are very good as well.

Happing.com from Spain asked Rob why he doesn’t Tweet or do Facebook and a couple more interesting questions. Thanks to Robert Pattinson Life’s pinkvintage for the translations.

Questions translated – by pinkvintage

1.- You once said that if there was ever a fight between Edward and Jacob, Edward would be the winner. Could Robert also win over Taylor?
2.- There’s something that intrigues me, if Jacob is in love with Bella, and he’s also really hot, why do you think Bella doesn’t like him? Could it be because he doesn’t own a Volvo?
3.- Could you tell us how do you deal with going out on the streets and running into a lot of girls who are screaming how hot you are? Do you sign autographs for all of them or do you just run out of there screaming ‘Jumanji!!!’
4.- Yesterday I was watching some interviews on YouTube and I found one that happened during the Teen Choice Awards in which Kristen was asked where you were. She said that you were probably in the bathroom looking in the mirror and playing with your hair. Do you really spend that much time on your hair?
5.- Could you tell us a funny anecdote that happened during the filming of the movie?
6.- A couple of hours ago I was live tweeting all of what was going on during the press conference. Aren’t you interested in sharing your thoughts with your fans through Twitter or Facebook? The Jonas Bros, who were here yesterday, are already doing it.
