More pictures after the break!!

Unlike Twilight, which was shot in Portland, you shot New Moon in Vancouver. What was that like?

Justin: The weather’s actually been better here. Portland was very, very, very cold and rainy. It’s a little bit nicer here.

Anna: One of the freaky things about shooting New Moon in a different location than Portland was the re-creation of things, like the high school parking lot. It was like déjà vu because we were in a different country but they completely recreated the parking lot from the school we shot at before.

You also got a new director. What was it like working with Chris Weisz?

Michael: Chris was really great. Catherine [Hardwicke] was wonderful too, but they’re just totally different in terms of their style and their process. And I think that as a result, you’re going to end up with a film that just feels very different. I think that Chris made more of a conscious effort to have a visual cohesiveness in terms of how the film is going to look and feel with the vampires, the werewolves and the humans. Visually, it’s more stylistic. And as far as the way he likes to work on set, he’s just very calm and very clear-headed and intelligent. He knows what he wants and puts a lot into the preparation so by the time we get to the set it’s all sort of mapped out for us.

Christian: He’s really awesome. He’s very well-organized, well-spoken, fun and carefree – simultaneously. It’s incredible.

If you weren’t playing humans, which would you prefer to play: a vampire or a werewolf?

Anna: I would personally rather be a werewolf since they seem to get to have a lot more fun. The vampires are very cool, but they have to be very calm and collected all the time. The werewolves get to let loose a little bit more.

Michael: I’d much rather play a vampire. Being a vampire would be cool, I think, for the first 100 years or so. It’d be fun to be able to play because vampires are just too cool; they’re just sexy and interesting and complicated.

Christian: I’d play a wolf. I’d play Leah, ’cause she’s sassy.

More after the break….

The mood for New Moon is pretty bleak for a lot of the film. You guys represent the normal world for Bella, but you also provide a lot of comic relief.

Justin: Bella’s really depressed throughout the movie so we really have to bring light to it, otherwise it’s just too dark the whole time.

Michael: Our job is to add a little humour, add a little levity, and just come across as realistic kids in a small town in Washington.

Anna: And I think that there’s an inherent comedy in our blissful ignorance of everything that Bella is going through in the supernatural world.

Have any of your characters changed since Twilight?

Anna: Jessica’s still pretty self-involved. I would definitely say she hasn’t done a lot of personal growth between Twilight and New Moon. She does provide a level of silliness at a point where Bella is feeling pretty hopeless. I don’t know that she necessarily cheers up Bella, but hopefully it ends up providing a little bit of a break for the audience.

One of the funniest scenes in the book is Mike’s “date” with Bella, when he takes her to a horror film and ends up getting sick. What was that like to shoot?

Michael: That was a lot of fun to shoot. That’s one of those moments that I think pretty much anyone can relate to. I’ve certainly had moments in my life that are almost unbearable at the time but as you’re watching it, I think the audience will find it very sad and funny. I think that’s what’s so great about playing Mike: I get to relive all of these horrible high school moments and it’s almost given all of that a purpose; it allows me to connect to that very easily.

Everyone always talks about Team Edward and Team Jacob. Don’t you think it’s time to start Team Mike and Team Eric?

Michael: Ya, I do! Actually, I’ve had friends who’ve jokingly made up some Team Mike t-shirts.

Justin: I would love to do that. I think you’d have to campaign. It’s political. I’d need lobbyists and stuff.

There’s a lot of new cast members in New Moon, including Michael Sheen, Dakota Fanning and all of the new werewolves. Who haven’t you shared a scene with that you’d really like to work with in the upcoming films?

Michael: It’s funny because I worked with Dakota Fanning years ago in an episode of Malcolm in the Middle. She played my younger sister; she didn’t have any lines and all she did was run around trying to bite the Reese character. And then like three months later she got I Am Sam and became a superstar. So I would be really curious to catch up with her again. And Michael Sheen is also just amazing.

Justin: I’d like to be in a scene with the Volturi, but it doesn’t happen in the books so it’s never going to happen.

Christian: There are so many great people on this project now. I can’t even believe how large and massive this cast is.

We have another awesome fan write up from, this time from JacobIsMyHerion who attended the Twilight Convention in Chicago (2-4 Oct) with I Love Wolves, RIMR_ and WolfPackChick.

Here is what JIMH had to say:

I Love Wolves, RIMR_, WolfPackChick, and JacobIsMyHeroin (me!) met up from all corners of the country to attend Twi Con in Chicago last weekend.  We are all avid NMM.org and EM.org fans, this is where we all first met and became friends!  None of us had ever met anyone from the site in real life before, but we took a chance and decided to go on this crazy adventure together.  It turned out so great; we had an amazing weekend and wanted to share our experience with everyone.

More after the break…….

Friday we attended panels with Tinsel Korey and Charlie Bewley.  Tinsel is really nice and very sweet in person; we got the first look at the picture of her as Emily with her scar.  Charlie has extreme ADD and kept forgetting what question he was answering!  He talked about the scene where his character Demetri chokes Alice.  Apparently it was an improvised moment between him and Ashley, and he told us there’s a cool story behind it.  Friday night we went to the concert where Mike Welch and Tinsel performed.  Words can’t describe how energetic and hilarious Mike is in person, we were completely entertained!  Tinsel is an amazing singer; we think she should be on the Eclipse soundtrack.  She has a Norah Jones/Jewel type of bluesy voice, and Never Think is even more gorgeous in person.  After the concert we headed back to our hotel, and WolfPackChick spotted Charlie Bewley coming from the bar.  We had a fangirl moment and almost stampeded her like wildebeests running for the lobby when she told us!  She had to block the door to tell us he’d left already.

Saturday morning, WolfPackChick the celeb magnet spotted Charlie again; we had a brief moment of indecision, but decided to calmly go talk to him.  He was personable and so sweet, he asked our names and shook our hands, and told us how much he had enjoyed meeting everyone at the convention.  We’re all crushing on Charlie now, definitely big fans!  Next we headed to the convention for panels with humans Mike Welch and Justin Chon, and wolf pack members Kiowa Gordon, Bronson Pelletier and Tinsel Korey.  Mike and Justin were hilarious, running all over the stage being complete goofballs.  It was pretty much the Mike and Justin Variety Hour!  It can be summed up by one crazy photo, which we’ve attached.  Kiowa is so adorable in person, very laid back and a good sport, he even did pushups and howled for us!  Bronson was unexpectedly quite a firecracker and a big flirt, he was always smiling.  Saturday night was the Vampire Ball, we all got glamorous and were joined by oh_my_cullen, another one of our NMM.org girls!  I had received a spot on the Vampire Court by winning a trivia contest, so I got my hair and makeup done and got a special dance with Justin Chon at the ball.  He was hamming it up the whole time, pulling me around the dance floor and being silly.  I couldn’t stop laughing, it was definitely the most unique dance I’ve ever had!

Sunday we attended individual panels with Kiowa, Bronson, and Tyson Houseman.  They guys were awesome, as always!  Tyson was a very pleasant surprise, his answers to all the questions were thoughtful and interesting, and he came off as very intelligent, humble and sweet.  He revealed that although we don’t physically see Claire in Eclipse, his character imprinting on her is discussed in the movie, setting the stage for Jake to imprint on Renesmee.  Between panels, WolfPackChick competed in the costume contest with an amazing outfit that she handmade herself.  She re-created Bella’s green dress from the birthday party scene in New Moon, and looked gorgeous!

Video of Wolf Pack pannel: Question which vampire they’d play in the saga if they had to choose. Also pick between the Volturi and the Cullens, Kiowa playfully insults the Cullens….

Here is Tinsel talking about playing a serial killer, and how awkward it would be if the person you imprinted on didn’t feel the same way….

Kiowa playfully calling Alex the biggest complainer on set:

Overall, it was a fabulous weekend filled with amazing memories!  We hope our great experience inspires others that have met on here to get together in real life too.  Thanks NMM.org, for bringing us together and making this weekend possible!!!  We even gave the site a shout-out on the special shirts we had made for the convention!

You can check out the video’s from the event here!

[Thanks I Love Wolves, RIMR_, WolfPackChick, and JacobIsMyHeroin!!]

Jolene Tangerine: What do you think would be your vampire power if you had one?

Michael Welch: Well that depends. Can I create a new power or do I have to choose one that already exists? If I could make my own, I would either want to fly or shoot lasers out of my eyes! Oh yeah. If I had to pick one that already exists, I would either want to see into the future like Alice or be a BA tracker like James. I know I’m not supposed to, but I love James.

SydneyAlex: How much like Mike are you? Hopeless romantic?

Michael Welch: Oh yeah, very much so. Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies if that’s any indication. The fulfillment of love is more important than the excitement of fling.
