While “Twilight Saga” sweetie Kristen Stewart doesn’t have to do any stunts in the vampire battle in “Eclipse,” she faced an equally challenging scene — a very passionate and extended kiss with Taylor Lautner. And she confessed how nervous she was about kissing Lautner at the “Eclipse” press junket on Saturday (June 12).
“I just stand behind people who are stronger than me,” she admits. “One of the most challenging scenes was kissing Jacob for real, finally for the first time, and seeing there was a different road to go down that was desirable as well.” She admits she was “nervous as hell about it” because of how important the scene was and how different the kiss was from any other in the film. If you took out all the mythical characters — the vampires and werewolves — Kristen thinks “Twilight” would still stand as a fascinating human love story.
“I think it’s just about how whole the characters are. … I don’t think it [the films’ success] has anything to do with the vampires.”Asked about the very, very tight close-up shots in “Eclipse,” she admits that she always asks their director of photography, Javier Aguirresarobe: “‘Hey, how close are you?’ Most actors are crazy and neurotic and don’t want to know that the camera is up their nose, but it’s good to know.” She also reveals that she has known for ages that “Breaking Dawn” would be two movies and she’s glad she can finally talk about it. The shoot will actually be six months long! And she’s totally psyched about becoming — and playing — a vampire, and a very powerful one at that.
“I can’t wait to have a kid and get married,” she says. “I think [Bella] will be the coolest vampire of all of them — nothing can touch her and she can protect the whole clan,” she explains, adding that it will be “awesome to see the change from a 17-year-old girl…. to become this matriarch.”
Kristen says she’s not sure if the films’ ratings will be more than PG-13 due to the graphic nature of the sex scenes in the final book. Her bet is that the film will not go down that road. Robert Pattinson has told reporters that he thinks the films should be dark and they should just “go for it.”
What do you think? Will they stay true to the books? Should they?
