New Moon a “Summer Blockbuster” Compared to Twilight

Peter Facinelli Nurse jackie

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.
