Written interviews and useful information

Parte de la entrevista con el Telegraph (entera aquí). Sólo recojo la parte de Rob y Kristen y también la del sistema de trabajo de David Slade, que me parece interesante (de cara a la película y como fuente de roces), como que no quería hacer guiños a la audiencia con las frases más míticas y que no mostraba las tomas a los actores, lo que parece haber ayudado a conseguir las mejores interpretaciones hasta ahora.

“This film is definitely a bit darker than the others,” says 20-year-old star, Kristen Stewart.

“Bella’s conflicts intensify – she must choose between Edward and Jacob – and the climax of the movie is more violent than anything we have dealt with before. Also, it feels as though the characters can handle a little bit more of a mature storyline, because they are older,” she says.

Ageing with their target readership, the characters in Eclipse do get a little frisky. Whereas, previously, sex had remained a subject for future discussion, here it bubbles to the fore, with Bella keen to give herself to Edward in every conceivable way. Even loyal Jacob gets a bit beyond himself, and steals a kiss from Bella. Victoria’s vampire army, meanwhile, prove merciless, destroying whatever gets in their way. These are dark times in Bella’s world.

The latest chapter in the film saga also features the sharpest script, with regular screenplay writer Melissa Rosenberg, who also writes and produces hit serial killer television series Dexter, feeding in a number of wry lines, one of which acknowledges the proliferation of naked male torsos on the screen. “They’re good lines,” Slade says, “and the thing I had to be delicate with was how to get those lines across without being overly cheesy or too knowing. We didn’t want to wink at the audience.”

Slade coaxes the best performances yet from the Twilight cast, who are growing into their roles. The principal cast-members also seem to benefit from their director’s decision not to show them any of their takes on the monitors during the shoot.

“By doing it that way I think that young actors become more confident,” Slade explains, “because they can’t worry about what they look like. They’ll just stay in the scene.” Billy Burke, who plays Bella’s father and has many of the more amusing moments, was allowed to improvise, but the other, younger actors stayed tightly on script.

Of the three principle players, Stewart is the most accomplished actor, having worked for 13 of her 20 years. The two male stars, though, Pattinson and Lautner, also show signs that they are beginning to discover their chops. “With Eclipse, everything’s bigger,” says the 24-year-old, rather bashful English heart-throb Pattinson. “The budget is bigger and everyone’s more famous, so this was a very different experience.

“David Slade was saying in the week before we started shooting that he wanted this to feel different from the last two films, so trying to figure that out was a little bit different as well. But we are pretty comfortable with the characters now.”

También ha salido una entrevista de Kristen con el Daily Inquirer, en la que habla sobre "On the Road" y Eclipse (pero lo que dice de la película me suena al junket...aunque ya todo me da vueltas ;)
