Metro had an interview with Taylor Lautner while he was on the set of New Moon in Vancouver, and the whole thing is now online. Here are some particularly interesting bits–first, concerning stunts–

A. So far. Let’s not jinx it, but basically you get an evaluation at the beginning of filming. They took me to a gymnasium to see what I could do. They put me on some dirt bikes to see how well I can do. I think they’re just figuring out how much they’re actually going to allow me to do. So far, I’ve been able to do everything, so I’m hoping that doesn’t change too much cos the stunts are a lot of fun.

Q. What is the biggest challenge this time around?

A. It’s actually the same biggest challenge we had for the first one and it’s the weather. It’s really funny because I think the “Twilight” saga is the only movies where we have to stop filming when the sun comes out. So whenever it’s sunny, we have to either go to an interior shot or just stop filming.

The NY Post interviews Peter Facinelli concerning his TV series that premieres tonight, Nurse Jackie, and they manage to ask a bit about his thoughts on New Moon–

PW: The last time we talked, you had just wrapped production on “Twilight,” how are things going with the sequel?

Peter: I found there to be a little less pressure because everybody knew their characters. There was less questioning on the set as to what we were doing — we trust that there is a fan-base out there. Our main job with the first one was to make a good movie for the fans…we just didn’t know it would explode the way it did. So I think we’ve carried that feeling along to the second movie. But now knowing there is a bigger fan-base out there, we do feel some pressure to live up to the first one.

PW: Well, the subject matter — European escapades — makes the film grander in essence, right?

Peter: It definitely feels like a bigger picture. The first one felt like making an indie, this one feels like a summer blockbuster. “Twilight” was more intimate in some ways because you’ve got a smaller crew and are working against the clock, but with “New Moon” there are so many more people around and the food is better.
