Jackson Rathbone interview.

Jackson Rathbone (Jasper) plays a vampire who has the ability to manipulate emotions in the big screen adaptation of Twilight, the bestselling book by Stephenie Meyer. At Twilight's Los Angeles premiere - surrounded by hundreds of fans who didn't stop screaming for three hours. Rathbone talked about Meyer's take on vampire mythology.

So we don't really see his special powers in this one.
Jackson Rathbone: Oh no.

Why?
Jackson Rathbone: We've a lot to do in this film and Jasper's powers are one of those that you don't really want to give up right on the onset. I think, hopefully, we get to do the second and third film and by the third film I think it'll be very obvious. However I think we do a little subtleties here and there. I don't know if you catch up on them but whenever Jasper meets Bella for the first time inside the Cullen house, there's a little bit of a moment. It's a slight, very subtle thing that Catherine [Hardwicke] worked on with all of us.

It's not something that you can outwardly show anyway.

Jackson Rathbone: You know, it has to do with other people. It's the ability to manipulate emotions. Maybe if turned around they'd yell all scream.

Are you tired of signing your autograph yet?
Jackson Rathbone: You know, no, but I think my hands have gone numb.

So why do you think people love Twilight so much?
Jackson Rathbone: I think everybody's always attracted to the vampire genre. I've always been, myself. And the mythology of being immortal and invulnerable basically, it's something extreme. I've always been attracted to extremes in life and in stories and art. I think that's why people are here because it's extreme yet at the same time, it's grounded in morality.

Did you miss not having fangs?
Jackson Rathbone: You know, I was worried because that was going to be a mess. I'd be talking like this the entire time. I have fangs in my mouth and I can't speak properly. No, no, no. We all talked about that and we're really happy because it makes it more realistic, a little bit more modern, you know?

Why does it make it more modern?
Jackson Rathbone: Because it's always been the old fairy tale that Nosferatu has these long fangs or Buffy the Vampire Slayer where their faces go and the forehead and the teeth grow out. So it's like we're in a new age, a new age that says, 'Hey, you've got some pretty nice canines. I've got some pretty good canines. We can sink our teeth into some flesh. We could do some damage, couldn't we?'

Are you ready for New Moon?
Jackson Rathbone: I don't know if anybody is. I don't know what's going on with it. I think that we're going to wait until tonight and then we're going to figure that all out.

But you're hoping?
Jackson Rathbone: Of course. Yeah.

Kellan Lutz Interview.

Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen) admitted to being overwhelmed by the response of fans at the Los Angeles premiere of Summit Entertainment's Twilight. Lutz has been out and about so he knows how passionate the supporters of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight book series are, yet the response in LA caught him a little by surprise.

Good to see you again. So are you tired of doing your autograph?
Kellan Lutz: Never. I don't want to see the movie. I just want to keep on going around and around.

You know they would love it if you did that?
Kellan Lutz: I know. I know.

Did you expect this? I mean you've see the fan reaction already, but this?
Kellan Lutz: No, not at all. This is…I still haven't had time to take it in. It's very humbling to be a part of it and to sign so many things. And especially to have fans make posters for us. That's really cool.

People yelling out your name…
Kellan Lutz: Yeah, yeah. And they get it right actually. No Keelans or Kielans.

So tell me, these fans have huge expectations. The movie's going to live up to it, right?
Kellan Lutz: I hope so. I haven't seen it yet so I really can't wait.

Why haven't you seen it yet?
Kellan Lutz: I don't know. No one likes me. No one invites me to these screenings. I've been out of time every time. I think a part of me really wanted to wait and just see it with all the fans, and experience it the best way I could and that's right now, tonight.

Tell me about bonding as the Cullen family.
Kellan Lutz: I mean, I had the honor to work with a bunch of my friends who I'd been friends with previously. And, you know, just work with our shooting schedule which was only like 8 hours a day versus the 14… We had a lot of time to mingle and to talk and to get dinners. We really grew super close.

But you had a really short shooting schedule too, only 44 days.
Kellan Lutz: But we still, most of us live in LA so we're here to hang out.

What was it like on that set with the weather and everything else?
Kellan Lutz: I love the weather. That was my favorite part of it. I'm from the Midwest so I love the hail, the rain. While everyone else is trying to get warm in the camping tent, I'm out there just running around, eating the hail. It was fun.

Are you ready for New Moon?
Kellan Lutz: So am, so am.

If they started getting ready in January, you'd be there?
Kellan Lutz: I'm just in my bed, waiting.

Kristen Stewart and Ashley Greene Interviews.

Kristen Stewart (Bella) and Ashley Greene (Alice) hit the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of Summit Entertainment's Twilight looking gorgeous and ready to show the film off to Twilight supporters. Stewart and Greene were surrounded by the rest of the Twilight cast as well as a thousand or so fans who could not get enough of the actors who are bringing their favorite characters to life.

Kristen Stewart: Bella in Twilight.

How are you handling this mob of fans?
Kristen Stewart: I mean we were prepared. We were told. I understand why these guys are so passionate and hardcore. The book is sort of hardcore.

How is it for you to take on a franchise like this?
Kristen Stewart: Fine. I mean, I didn't even know it was going to be a franchise. I was totally compelled by the character in the book. It's oddly engaging and it's very fundamental. And it sort of has everything that a young girl would sort of connect with. And you have a really strong female lead, it's sort of complicated and really crazy and scary and convoluted and sexy at the same time."

Ashley Greene: Alice in Twilight.

Ashley Greene: Oh my god! It's quite amazing. It's a really great feeling to walk in there and have people chanting your name and be just as passionate about a film as I am.

What is so unique about the story that makes all these people come out?
Ashley Greene: One, for the guys it's a different kind of vampire story and it does have the sports and the fight scenes and all those elements. But when it boils down to it, it's a really kind of epic love story. It's the story about two people who just can't bear to be away from each other and I think everybody wants that, and everybody relates to that. And then you throw in the superhero powers and the glory of being a vampire and it just hits on every level.

That complicates things though.
Ashley Greene: It's a layered, complicated story.

Why do you think so many people love Alice?
Ashley Greene: She's so loveable. No, I mean she's just extremely happy to be alive, or be being – I don't know if alive is the right word – and to have a family who loves her. And she's kind of out for the better good, even though she is a vampire, of other people in her family. And she's just upbeat and happy, and then she has this kick ass power of being able to see the future. I don't think that hurts either.

What were your feelings while you read the books?
Ashley Greene: You know, I was in love with Edward, too. I'm not going to lie. I was like, 'Where is this guy? Where does he exist? Where can I find him?' So I was just in love with the story as everybody else, and then I got to film it. It's been amazing.

Rachelle Lefevre and Cam Gigandet Interviews.

Rachelle Lefevre and Cam Gigandet play Victoria and James, two of the bad vampires in Summit Entertainment's Twilight, based on bestselling book by Stephenie Meyer. Although they're the bad guys in the movie, the thousand or so fans who turned up at the Los Angeles premiere of Twilight didn't hold their roles against them. Lefevre and Gigandet were cheered on by the passionate crowd of Twilight followers right along with the rest of the cast.

Rachelle Lefevre: Victoria in Twilight.

Rachelle Lefevre: Oh my goodness, hello everybody.

It's kind of an onslaught tonight.
Rachelle Lefevre: It is, it is.

What do you make of it?
Rachelle Lefevre: You know what? It's incredible. We started to get some idea of the fan sort of frenzy at Comic Con, but I don't think that anybody could have anticipated this. I certainly never thought I'd be a part of anything where people were sleeping on concrete to get a look at us.

Why do you think this is such an international phenomenon?
Rachelle Lefevre: I think that the story is just so universal. Romeo and Juliet comes to mind. You know, it's survived 500 years. It's been translated into, I don't know, 8000 languages. I think that love stories are timeless and when they're done right, they appeal to everybody. That's the brilliance of it is that because they're vampires, it also adds this really dark element and allows for a lot of action, too. And so in addition to having this great romance, you have fight sequences and chase scenes and real, real sort of intensity. It's a real ride, this film.

Is there anything in your past that you would have slept out overnight to see?
Rachelle Lefevre: You know what? I was very, very young but I remember the New Kids on the Block being like… I think I sort of liked boys for the first time, you know? And going, 'What's this all about?' I just wanted Joey McIntyre to sing to me.

Maybe he will now.
Rachelle Lefevre: Maybe he will now. Joey, will you sing to me?

Cam Gigandet: James in Twilight.

Cam Gigandet: This is…it's just so unreal, really. I feel like they're going to call cut and we're going to like, 'Let's do it again.' It's like a movie, really.

I'm sure you anticipated quite a crowd but does this exceed it?
Cam Gigandet: You can never really… I mean, you can hope for the best. But I never would have expected this. This is just wild. Wild.

How did Twilight become such a pop culture phenomenon?
Cam Gigandet: How? It's got the best of both worlds. It has like this dark mystery with these vampires. But then it's like a relatable love story that you've seen. It's like an old classic love story so, you know, those two combined.

How much fun is it to play the bad guy?

Cam Gigandet: I love it.

They keep casting you that way.
Cam Gigandet: I know, but it's just so much fun because you have unlimited amounts of freedom and I think that's why I like it.

Taylor Lautner and Solomon Trimble Interviews.

Taylor Lautner (Jacob) and Solomon Trimble (Sam) don't have a lot to do in Twilight, the movie based on bestselling book by Stephenie Meyer, but Twilight readers all know both Jacob and Sam play important roles in the sequels to Twilight - New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. And at Twilight's Los Angeles premiere both Lautner and Trimble said they're definitely ready for New Moon whenever Summit Entertainment, the studio behind Twilight, tells them it's moving forward.

Taylor Lautner: Jacob in Twilight.

What's the appeal of Twilight?

Taylor Lautner: All of the fans can relate to the characters. I mean, a lot of our fans are in high school so they can relate. The other thing is it's a romance. The girls love the romance. But it's not only a romance – it's an action romance. So I think the movie is for everyone. It's got romance, action, horror, it's got everything.

Have you had any strange fan encounters while out on the Twilight tour?
Taylor Lautner: The tour, it wasn't bad. But actually just over here there was some middle-aged woman. She's like, 'Guess what Taylor? I'm wearing the Team Taylor panties!' I'm like, 'No way.' And she's like, 'Would you mind signing them?' And luckily my publicist was right there and she's like, 'We've got to go do an interview.' And I'm like, 'Okay, yeah, I'll think about that one.'

Would you have done it if you hadn't been pulled away?
Taylor Lautner: Maybe. I don't know. No, I'm kidding. No!

Are you ready for New Moon?
Taylor Lautner: I am. That's why I'm telling all my fans see it three times and we should be good.

What do you think of the vampire versus werewolf issue?
Taylor Lautner: Personally, I don't get the vampire thing. They're cold; werewolves are hot. I mean, cold, hot, come on! And I think Bella is just confused at the moment. She doesn't know what's best for her and the Team Edward fans, but they'll come around. They'll come around.

There are a lot of Team Jacob fans.
Taylor Lautner: I was surprised. There are a lot more than I expected. It's awesome. I love just diving into the crowd and giving them hugs. It's fun.

Solomon Trimble: Sam in Twilight.

How are you doing?
Solomon Trimble: I'm doing really well.

Are you eating this up because it looks like you're having a good time?
Solomon Trimble: I am.

So how are you at signing your autograph?
Solomon Trimble: I'm getting tennis elbow. This is new. No, I'm doing pretty good. When I first started it just wasn't good. Now my signature's got a little flow to it. The faster I go, the better it is.

Did you practice?
Solomon Trimble: Yeah, I did, twice. Just once before for friends and then yesterday at Borders. There was a podcast and a signing with some of the cast there. That was only 200 people and I remember thinking my arm hurts and they said, 'Wait till tomorrow.'

Maybe you should just do your initials?
Solomon Trimble: I thought about that but it's too quick. It just looks like, I don't know, like Stonehenge. It's bad.

So you didn't know about Twilight, right, going into this?
Solomon Trimble: My sister in law she was a crazy Twilight fan.

And then the screaming really kicks up because Robert Pattinson has made an appearance.
Now go.
Solomon Trimble: She was a crazy fan and when I got cast I tried telling her, 'Yeah, I got cast as Sam Uley.' She thought I was lying, made it up. I'm like, 'Twilight, isn't this the book?' I knew quotes before I even read the book or was cast because she was so into it. And then, yeah, when she saw that I had the script she tried to rip it from me. I got a scar on my neck. She didn't get it.

So the next one, you should play a next bigger part, right?
Solomon Trimble: Yeah, my schedule is open. I'll just say that. I have no idea what's going on but yeah, my schedule's open.

Are you buffing up?
Solomon Trimble: Yes, I'm buffing up. I'm eating nothing but chicken and salmon and lifting heavy metal. The Twilight Awesomes are a group. They bought a gym membership. I went to my gym and like out of the blue they're like, 'Oh, you're three months ahead,' because I went to pay. It's like, 'Really?' And then I get this card for my birthday and they were like, 'Hey, we want Sam to be buff…' It's kind of a backhanded way to… I was like, 'Thank you Miss Jan and everybody in Twilight Awesomes.' Thank you.

'Twilight' star finds uneasy fit with fame.

"Twilight" star Rob Pattinson was only a short time into his heartthrob publicity tour when he arrived in Philadelphia last week, and the magnitude of his role as teenage vampire Edward Cullen was already getting to him. Not quite a typical It guy, the 22-year-old actor wasn't exactly oozing charisma or confidence.
In two hours he would be facing 1,000 shrieking fans at the King of Prussia Mall, but in his suite at the Four Seasons Hotel he cringed at every mention of the word fame.
The London-born actor bashfully stared at the floor and ran his fingers through his now infamous hair as he answered questions about the cultlike following of "Twilight"-obsessed teenage girls and their mothers.
"It's really strange when you go from like no one caring to people going like, 'Oh yeah, I saw that guy from 'Twilight' being an idiot.' I mean, it's strange," Pattinson mused. Refusing to make eye contact or even use the first person when discussing his outrageously successful press tour, Pattinson tried to disassociate himself from his character.
But that might be impossible.
Thanks to his role as Edward, Pattinson has already attracted a fan base of thousands of teenage girls willing to camp out in the rain for hours for a two-second encounter.
He is trying not to let it go to his head.
"So many young people who get a big hit kind of get hyped up," he said. "They start to believe their own hype and then everyone starts to, like, cut them down immediately. And I just feel like I'm being propelled by something I have absolutely no control over.
" . . . I always feel like I'm going to get my head cut off."
The intensity of the past few weeks confuses him. Dressed in black jeans, a nondescript black jacket, black leather Nikes and a white(ish) T-shirt, Pattinson looks more like a gawky, shy, awkward teen (albeit with perfect bone structure and no acne) than the brooding vampire the "Twilight" legion wants him to be.
He got a taste of life in the spotlight after playing Cedric Diggory in two Harry Potter movies, but then he "squandered away" his Harry Potter momentum and just hung out with some L.A. waitresses until returning home to London. That's where he was when he landed "Twilight," living with his best friend in a tiny apartment with one chair, a TV, and homemade furniture.
"It was so cool," he said nostalgically. "You had to walk through a restaurant kitchen to get up to the roofs but you could like walk along all the roofs . . . I didn't do anything for a year, I just sat on the roof and played music . . . it was like the best time I had ever had.
"I never set out to be an actor," Pattinson offered as an explanation of why he isn't worried about failing. "Though I'd be quite annoyed if it fell apart, because I quite enjoy doing it."
Before acting, he imagined a very different life. Pattinson planned on going to the prestigious London School of Economics to study international relations and politics. He ended up making Harry Potter movies instead, which gobbled up years of his teen life.
"It went on for so long," he said, "I didn't have to decide what to do and I didn't have to do any exams or anything. It seemed like a really easy option."
After his time off "doing nothing," Pattinson tried to reignite his acting career in part because he needed some structure.
"I guess I must have matured a little bit last year," Pattinson reflected, laughing. "And I guess maybe I missed school and I missed kind of working in a structured way and so I started looking at scripts and acting in a very structured way. I forced myself to feel like I was working."
Besides the movie-star thing, Pattinson is also trying screenwriting. He has already written a few scripts, the most recent one about the slave trade. And he wants to have a production company by the time he is 26.
"I guess I'm just a control freak," he said. "I don't like the way the film industry is . . . If you come with a good script and then it goes to the studios and gets financing, it all gets changed because they want to make money. And it's like, how do you know if it's going to make money or not? All you're doing is making it generic when you do that, and making it generic is no guarantee that it's going to make money either.
"The only way to abandon that is to take risks," he added passionately. "And you need to be able to trust people. So you get a company together with people you know are good and you know work hard and you can make good stuff. That's kind of what I want to do."
But for now, Pattinson must get through the "Twilight" of his young career.
He said all the press is tiring and he has "an overwhelming urge to say something really terrible" every time he has to face 1,000 screaming 14-year-olds. He has been traveling with the same bag of clothes since he was in Italy almost a month ago.
"It's weird how odd your clothes start to smell," he confessed, half-seriously.
His character's loner image seems to ring true in his own personal life as well.
"I'm good at disappearing," he said. "I don't have too much of a problem with it. There's hardly anyone I want to speak to . . . I spend most of the time just avoiding phone calls, just avoiding everything."
