MTV: What’s the one scene in “New Moon” you most enjoyed filming?

Campbell Bower: Well, there’s a particular scene where we rip this guy apart, and I just sit there smiling and really enjoying it. When I got the script, I was like, “That’s the one I want to do the most!,” because there’s nothing to say. It’s really sordid, gross and really grim — that was pretty fun.

RadarOnline.com has a new interview with New Moon wolf pack Alpha, Chaske Spencer. In the interview they discuss the training the ‘wolves’ went through. Also know as : Wolf Camp. And apparently the Vamps all went to ‘Vamp Camp’. How cute! Chaske also once played Dracula!  -

Radar: I understand that Chris Weitz said for the last movie you guys did Wolf Camp? Tell me about that?
Spencer: Yeah, I like the choice of words, Wolf Camp. It was like a basic training

. I had been going to the gym before I went up to Vancouver and just to keep in shape I go to the gym regularly but when we got there it was a whole different beast all together. They got us a trainer, and he had helped out the actors in 300 get in shape. It was really cool, me and the other guys, the wolf guys, we were pretty jacked that we were working out with the guy who was affiliated with 300. I think we were more excited about that than anything else. So what they did is he threw us into circuit training and muscle confusion workouts and we hit it pretty hard for about an hour and hour and a half.  First thing in the morning that’s what we’d do. And then we just eat all day. It’s pretty much four to six meals a day plus three to four protein shakes a day as well.

Radar: I know quite a few years ago you actually played Dracula, so what do you like better, vampires or werewolves?
Spencer: You know, I really like the werewolf. There are positive things about both characters. I like the werewolf because I’ve gained some weight; I’ve put on 20 lbs of muscle! When I came back from shooting New Moon my friends said, my God, you’ve just gone gigantour! I like that. It’s good to look at your arm and say, wow, that’s mine!  Sometimes I don’t even know what to do with my own body; I’m like a 13 year old kid who just went through a growth spurt.

Radar: You said that you like that the vampire is the cool skinny guy. Rob is basically the only guy in the show that isn’t working out in between scenes because he’s not buffing up, right?
Spencer: No, actually he was training with us.

Radar: Did he go to Wolf Camp?
Spencer: No, he did Vampire Camp!  I don’t know what his workout regimen was but he would show up before or after us because we were on two different shooting schedules during New Moon and most of the vampires, I met them for dinner once but then boom, we all went our separate ways to work. I would hear the trainer say oh Rob lifted this much weight, and I’d say really?

Lion_Lamb was awesome enough to scan and transcribe, a new interview with New Moon director Chris Weitz from Bliss Magazine. In the interview he talks about Rob, Fans, and Robsten -

Body Beautiful:
“It’s impossible to take a bad picture of Rob, even with these motion picture spots all over him! I think the hysteria over him is greater than for any of the other guys because the character he’s playing is unattainable and perfect. Thankfully, Rob has a highly developed sense of the absurd, so he doesn’t suffer as much as he otherwise would. However, when we were in Vancouver, there were days when he would just stay indoors and read or watch movies. If he went to his window, people would scream! He was kind of a hermit, really/ It’s hard for me to judge how he’s changed because I didn’t know him in the last movie.”

Fan Frenzy:
“I tried not to check what fans were saying on the internet until the film finished, as I knew I’d be influenced by them. We had a lot of crazy fans show up during filming, especially in Italy. I mean crazy only in a nice way! More and more fans showed up every day until the entire town was just awash with young people. They didn’t even sneak around – they were just there. I’d say 90% were what you’d think of as typical Twilight fans – young girls – and then there were the parents, the Twilight Mums… even the occasional heterosexual male! The only difficulty is when you have a camera, all the lighting gear and you’re in a little city with small alleyways and there are thousands of fans there, it’s actually hard to move from one place to another. That posed a practical probelem.”

Robsten’s Snog Secrets:
“I was surprised at how clever Rob and Kristen are. That’s not to say that I thought they were dummies before, but they had such a strong sense of their own characters and they’re very serious about what they might say at any given moment. In a way, you expect people to coast a bit in the sequel or to think, ‘This is not a realistic situation because I’m playing a girl who’s in love with a vampire, so I have no responsiblilty to convey realistic emotions.’ But they both want to put some kind of truth into everything, even when the scenes they’re playing are just bizzare.”

Chris also talks about Kristen you can check it out here!

In a new interview with New Moon Volturi leader Aro aka Michael Sheen he talks about how tight security was on set. He also touched base on why he wanted the role as Aro -

He said: “I remember someone whose job was containment and I thought: ‘What does that actually mean? Does that mean stopping people from getting on the set?’

“And it wasn’t, it was to stop people on the set taking pictures and sending them out.”

He said: “The best thing about it is I’m now a poster on my own daughter’s wall, which is about the best thing that could ever possibly happen.

“When they first asked me if I wanted to do it, I hadn’t read the books or anything, so I had to ask my daughter what the character was like without tipping her off… because I didn’t want to get her all excited if I didn’t end up doing it.

“She said she thought Aro, my character, was bald but he’s got long black hair so I hope I haven’t ruined it for her by not being bald. She cried when I told her.

“No matter what happens I have to be at the premiere in LA. That’s the whole reason she wanted me to do it, so she could go to the premiere.”

I sure hope that they are werewolf proof. I wouldn’t want to see such expensive jeans scattered every where, in pieces…. then again…

HA!
