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.

Apparently, New Moon actor Peter Facinelli keeps things exciting with wife Jennie Garth in an unusual way–

The actor admits his wife is so fond of the fang-toothed doctor she makes him constantly roleplay to keep their eight-year marriage steamy.

He tells the New York Daily News, “She has me dress up like all the time. She says, ‘Put the doctor’s coat on!’ I’m like, ‘Again?’”

Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen in New Moon, was interviewed on the red carpet for the premiere of his new show Nurse Jackie and talked about New Moon as well as Eclipse. He also notes that New Moon director Chris Weitz reminds him of the character her plays in the movie–

“I always tell him, ‘You remind me of Dr. Cullen,’ because he’s very thoughtful and always thinking and always calming,” he said. “If there’s any chaos going on, you can look to him and it’s all calm, so he really is Dr. Carlisle Cullen.”

“He even started wearing scarves,” Facinelli continued. “I was like, ‘Hey, you’re stealing my thing, man.’ “

New Moon stars Michael Welch and Peter Facinelli, who play Mike Newtown and Peter Facinelli, both agree that Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke is quite a bit different than New Moon director Chris Weitz. Michael Welch says that–

“We have a new director, Chris Weitz. (He) was amazing. It’s interesting because between him and Catherine, they’re so different. Catherine is somebody who can only function at a cluttered desk. She needs chaos to success. That’s wonderful. Chris is the exact opposite. Just couldn’t be more cool, clam and collected and had his stuff together. It’s the people at the top that affect everyone below them — so the energy was more calm.”

Peter Facinelli agrees, stating that–

Catherine (Hardwicke) is a ball of energy and infuses passions when she comes on the set. Chris is more laid back, insightful and thought provoking. It’s completely different. It’s like two different rollercoaster rides, but you still love the rides. They’re fantastic.”
