Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner Talk New Moon
Posted 08.26.09 by reelz
In an exclusive interview with MTV, New Moon stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner talk about filming the second installment in the franchise, and the many relationships in the movie.
On a particularly emotional Jacob-Bella scene, Stewart had this to say:
Just like everything in our movie, it's such a heightened version of reality. It's like, people don't just break up [in the "Twilight" films] — they break up and it literally kills you. It's not like you just say, "Oh, I'm really depressed and crying." Everything is supposed to be a fantasy version of that. So I always had a really hard time figuring out, "Am I doing enough? Do I look like I'm going to die?"
Lautner added:
"New Moon" is very complicated. There's a lot of heartbreak, there's a lot of things going on. Edward leaves at the beginning, she goes into this depression, I come to try and bring her out of it. Then I go through my own issues, and then she leaves me. It's all over the place, and there's a lot going on.
We're all hoping that KStew's acting improves in New Moon, because she really has to nail the i'm-too-depressed-to-live scenes — after all, The Twilight Saga is all about angst and melodrama. If Stewart doesn't pull it off, the whole movie's success will probably end up riding on Taylor Lautner and his popularity with the teenage ladies. What do you think, Twilighters? Are they up to the task?
