Like the moody Bella Swan, her Twilight alter ego, Kristen Stewart prefers the shadows to the limelight.

When your first screen credit rolls up after the names Glenn Close and Joshua Jackson, fame is going to be difficult to avoid – even when you’re 11. Kristen Stewart has had nine years to get used to it, but the Twilight star still craves celebrity like a vampire seeks out sunshine. “I grew up in the business, so the attention isn’t surprising, but it is inhibiting,” says Stewart, who landed a role in 2001’s The Safety Of Objects after an agent spotted her in a primary school play. “I love acting and I’m so grateful for Twilight and the opportunities it’s given me. I’m just not very good at dealing with the idea of being followed everywhere, and not being able to walk down the street or sit at a cafe with friends without getting mobbed and Twittered.”

And don’t start her on the romance issue. The latest instalment of the Twilight saga, Eclipse, only ramped up the hysteria surrounding her apparent relationship with co-star Robert Pattinson. “Nothing I could say would change anything, so I’m not going to say anything,” sighs the ethereally beautiful Stewart, whose brittle manner suggests that a hotel suite remains her true sanctuary. A role reversal doesn’t hurt, either. And what better therapy for an angsty ingenue than a role as seminal rock chick Joan Jett in this year’s biopic The Runaways. As Eclipse and the critically acclaimed The Runaways are released on DVD, Stewart opens up about life in the Twilight zone and how she is managing to balance life, career and her conflicted bargain with the devil of celebrity.
Do you sometimes feel exhausted by the attention you’ve had to deal with?

It’s hard to talk about that without giving the impression that I’m being negative or complaining. I love acting – I’m so passionate about the process, but there’s a helpless feeling when you can’t do the things you used to be able to do without attracting a large crowd. I knew the business very well before I had the chance to be a part of these films and so it’s not like it’s a shock to me. I would just rather not have to worry about where I can go just so that I’m not going to be followed. Sometimes I stay in my hotel room when I’m working on films or while I’m doing publicity for them. It’s less aggravation.

Is it important to you to have the chance to work on other films in between the Twilight movies?
I love to work. I don’t have any master plan as far as my career is concerned. I just choose projects on instinct. It was so interesting for me to be able to do The Runaways and play such a fierce personality, and the other films I’ve done have all had something that was really meaningful to me. I try to find roles that connect with me rather than think about how big the film will be or what it will do for my career. I could never structure things that way.

What is your take on Eclipse?
We see a more confident and determined Bella. She’s evolving and learning more about who she is and what she wants out of life. She also has to deal with the possibility that she’s lying to herself about being in love with Jacob when she is still, in fact, deeply in love with Edward.

Is it a case of Bella overcoming a lot of her self-doubts?
Bella is surer of herself and not as moody and despairing as she was in New Moon. It’s a really interesting progression that we see in Eclipse. It was interesting for me to take the character into a different space. I enjoy being able to leave one film and one chapter in her life and then get to explore her again. Most films force you to leave your character and that’s the end of the journey. So with Bella it’s exciting to be able to revisit her and rediscover new elements to her character.

Do you think Eclipse is a classic love triangle situation?
It is in the sense that Edward and Jacob are both fighting for Bella. She thinks she knows what she wants, but now she has to be able to stand up and say, OK, so maybe every choice isn’t completely impulsive. Maybe there are different levels of love, and maybe my ideological views of what I think you are to me are wrong, and maybe I could look at somebody else.

Do you feel you understand better now why the public is so fascinated with the Twilight story?
I think you have these intense personal dramas and the kind of deep feelings that Bella is experiencing, and everything that is going on between Bella and Edward and Bella and Jacob, that these very intense and private stories are developing where there’s all this chaos and danger surrounding them. So you’re thrown into a world that most people can relate to on a personal level, and then there’s this incredibly exotic and threatening backdrop to that world.

You have to do your fair share of red carpet appearances and awards shows. Do you feel pressure to look your best and find great outfits to wear?
I like to dress simply, but you always like to look good or wear something that makes you feel good. I don’t know that much about fashion and I don’t think I have very sophisticated tastes. I’m not that comfortable being photographed in general, so most of the fashion shoots I’ve done have been kind of awkward, although I guess I’m learning each time.

Some of your directors have said you have a very good bullshit detector…

I don’t like to create any false image about myself or try to pretend to be someone I’m not. I guess I can be too serious sometimes and get too intense and involved when I’m working, but that’s [my] nature.

Are you still as intense as ever when you’re working on a film?
I like to throw myself into the character and feel that I’m giving everything I possibly can to the performance. I feel I need to bring that intensity and commitment to each film and it’s my responsibility to the audience to give everything to the part. Sometimes that can be hard on you and you feel exhausted and a little empty after each film. You’ve also been a part of this particular world; the other actors; the crew; whichever city you happen to have been shooting in. You then have to leave that setting and go back to your own life, and that’s not always an easy process.

Is that why you sometimes seem nervous in public or on TV talk shows?
I’m not the kind of person who wants or likes to be the centre of attention under any circumstances. I love the fact that fans are so appreciative and have such a great love for Twilight; I feel privileged to be a part of this, but it can be intimidating. I don’t have that interesting a life apart from my work, so when I’m discussing things about myself I feel strange. I wind up looking either really stressed or nervous or too laid-back – when the truth is that I don’t want to come off seeming overly serious about my work or complaining about all the attention that comes with the job.

What about awards shows?
(Grimaces) I’ve had some pretty bad experiences. I’ve even dropped an award and watched it break into a million pieces. I’m kind of clumsy and so as long as I don’t trip, I feel I’ve pulled it off. I should try to relax more.. I don’t know.

When you worked on The Runaways, where you played singer Joan Jett, what was your take on the sexual aura she cast?
There was a sexual revolution going on when she was coming up in the music world, and it is still having an effect on us now with people feeling much more comfortable at a young age doing stuff like that. But these girls, they were the first ones to rebel. Like, it wasn’t normal for girls to be sexually aggressive in any way.

How do you approach choosing scripts and then the character you’re playing?
A number of things draw you to a script. It’s not just like wanting to live out this experience; sometimes it is thematic. But that’s not your job; people you’re working with can keep that together, and you need to make sure you do everything you can to do your part. But in terms of intellectualising acting, you have to do it a little bit, but I feel way more than I think, and I think that’s good for an actor.

You’re 20 now. What’s your take on everything that’s happened to you?
I’ve been very lucky. I love being in the position now where I’m going to be able to do more and more good films and just keep working at something I love so much. I don’t really know how to do anything else. I just wish maybe photographers would stop chasing me.

Given that they haven’t actually filmed any part of Breaking Dawn yet, and the cast members haven’t seen a script it’s probably not that surprising that there isn’t a big Twilight roll out at this year’s VMA’s. It’s not like there is an exclusive clip or anything to debut. The most anyone could talk about wardrobe possibilities. Peter Facinelli tweeted the other day that he was left feeling a little chafed having tried on so many items. (Alas, he isn’t advertising for any assistance to rub lotion on the sore spots.)

Despite some reports that the VMA’s would be entirely Twilight free, MTV has just listed Ashley Greene among the presenters. No word on what specifically she’s presenting, but she’ll be there. You never know who might pop up in the audience last minute; however, both Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart would be doubtful since they are currently filming other projects.

this is  trivia i got from imdb. hope you guys like it, it was interesting  :)

• Kristen Stewart has naturally green eyes. She wears brown contacts for filming to match Bella’s eye color.
• Kellan Lutz intended on keeping his natural curly hair for the role of Emmett Cullen. However, his previous role in “Generation Kill” (2008) required a buzz cut and his hair didn’t grow fast enough for the filming of Twilight (2008).

• Henry Cavill was Stephenie Meyer’s first choice to play Edward. However, but by the time production was to begin, he was 25 years old, and no longer looked the part of a 17-year old. He was then offered the part of Carlisle Cullen but turned it down due to his commitment with “The Tudors” (2007).
• For the role of Edward Cullen, Robert Pattinson flew from England to director Catherine Hardwicke’s house to audition. There, he and Kristen Stewart, who was already cast as Bella Swan, rehearsed the “Love Scene”/”Meadow Scene” on Hardwicke’s own bed.
• Taylor Lautner had to wear a wig for his role as Jacob Black.
• Over 5,000 actors auditioned for the role of Edward.
• According to a July interview between network.nationalpost.com and director Catherine Hardwicke, Kristen Stewart was recommended for the role of Bella Swan by Emile Hirsch, her co-star from Into the Wild (2007) and whom Hardwicke directed in Lords of Dogtown (2005).
• The script was finished in 6 weeks.
• Robert Pattinson stated in an interview that this is his first American role and he had no formal training to perfect his American accent.
• When the ‘evil vampires’ make their first appearance, actors Cam Gigandet, Rachelle Lefevre and Edi Gathegi are all wearing little slippers painted like bare feet.
• Jessica in the movie is a combination of the characters Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory from the book.
• Eric in the movie is a combination of the characters Eric Yorkie and Ben Cheney from the book.
• Kristen Stewart wore hair pieces so they didn’t have to waste time doing her hair, and therefore had more time to shoot.
• Kristen Stewart turned eighteen while filming the movie and was rewarded with a birthday cake – and a full night of shooting.
• Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale) and Jackson Rathbone (Jasper Hale) learned how to play baseball left-handed for the famous baseball scene.
• Christian Serratos wore her own glasses for her part as Angela Weber.
• When Bella is searching the internet and finds the link for the bookstore in Port Angeles, the link above it is for Little Brown. Little Brown is the publisher of the Twilight Saga.
• Before casting, Robert Pattinson had never heard of the Twilight novel. He only attended casting because he liked Kristen Stewart’s performance in Into the Wild (2007).
• MTV Films & Maverick Films were the original owners of the rights to produce the film. Paramount was set as the distributor. Eventually MTV Films wasn’t able to get a script they felt was good enough for the film and Summit Entertainment ended up getting the rights and actually producing and distributing the film.
• Cameo: [Stephenie Meyer] The author of the original books can be seen next to a laptop ordering a vegetarian sandwich in the diner at the beginning of the scene where Charlie asks Bella if she likes the boys in town.
• With its $69.6 million opening weekend gross the movie had the biggest opening ever for a film directed by a woman, and also for a film starring a women.
• At the cafeteria salad bar, Bella drops an apple which Edward picks back up and then cradles in his hands, copying the cover image of the Twilight novel. On the one of the DVD’s special features Catherine Hardwicke said that took them 13 takes to get it right.
• Stephenie Meyer cited the band Muse as her source of inspiration to write her books, and another of her favorite groups is Linkin Park. Both bands contributed a song to the movie’s soundtrack.
• Kristen Stewart’s stunt double, Katie Powers, also plays a waitress at the diner.
• During the filming of the prom scene, Kristen Stewart didn’t like the songs playing so suggested ‘Flightless Bird, American Mouth’ by Iron & Wine which they decided to use.
• In almost every scene involving a television, the ending ballet studio scene is being played.
• Robert Pattinson performed two songs in the movie, however only one of these songs, “Never Think,” appears on the soundtrack. His other song, “Let Me Sign”, is a bonus track.
• In the hospital scene, when Bella and her mother are talking about the accident, the TV in the background can be seen playing the previous scene.
• It took 36 hours to turn Nikki Reed’s naturally brunette hair to blonde.
• All of the Cullens can be seen wearing jewelry with the same symbol on it. Edward, Jasper, and Emmett all had the same wristband, and Alice and Rosalie had similar necklaces with the symbol on it; Esme had a bracelet and Carlisle had a ring.
• The jacket worn by Solomon Trimble in the LaPush beach scene was handmade by his mother from a Pendleton blanket.
• Robert Pattinson unknowingly contributed two songs to this film. Apparently, he didn’t know that “a mysterious third party” had given the director a copy of music he had recorded years ago. She decided to use two of the songs, and he was surprised to hear them when viewing early film footage. The songs are: “Never Think” [playing during the restaurant scene] and “Let Me Sign” (plays during the scene where Edward has to drink Bella’s blood to save her). Pattinson said he was overwhelmed by how well “Let Me Sign” fit into the film.
• Stephenie Meyer wrote a parallel novel (unfinished) to “Twilight” called “Midnight Sun”. It tells the story of the first book from Edward’s point of view. In it, he comments that the arrival of Bella to the school has all of the boys “acting like they’re in first grade and she’s the shiny new toy”. This thought is spoken aloud by Jessica during Bella’s first lunch in the cafeteria.
• The original release date for Twilight (2008) was December 12, 2008. When the release date for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) was moved from November 21, 2008, to July 17, 2009, Twilight’s release date was moved forward to November 21 in a attempt to fill the Harry Potter gap.
• Catherine Hardwicke has said that she filmed a scene with Robert Pattinson taken directly out of “Midnight Sun”, the unfinished novel by Stephenie Meyer telling the story of Twilight through Edward’s perspective. According to her, this scene will be on the DVD.
• The Cullen family crest (seen worn by all the Cullens) is a lion with a hand over its head, and a downward pointing chevron with 3 clovers. The lion was added because of the famous line “And so the Lion fell in love with the Lamb”, but the other portions (chevron, clovers, and hand) are from the actual Cullen Coat of Arms, although there are fewer clovers (2), more hands (3), and a sheaf of wheat on the real one.
• Even though there is a song by Radiohead in the movie, it never made it to the official soundtrack album.
• Stephenie Meyer had her own personal cast before all the roles were officially casted. They including Emily Browning as Bella Swan, Henry Cavill as Edward Cullen, Charlie Hunnam as Carlisle Cullen, Mary-Louise Parker as Esme Cullen, Rachael Leigh Cook as Alice Cullen, Trent Ford as Jasper Hale, Tom Welling as Emmett Cullen and Olivia Wilde as Rosalie Hale.
• The movie was shot in 48 days.
• Nikki Reed was the one who got the producers to add Robert Pattinson’s songs to the film. Reed secretly started recording him from her laptop, while he was singing, and playing his guitar. She then took it to the film producers, were they fell in love with his songs. The next day, they asked Rob if he could sing a few of his songs for the soundtrack, and he accepted.
• Cam Gigandet was originally cast as Emmett Cullen, but asked director Catherine Hardwicke if he could play the role of James instead. She agreed.
• The beer that Charlie drinks in the movie is “Rainier Beer”, a brewing company originally based out of Seattle, Washington. Charlie refers to it as “vitamin R”, which is a common nickname for Rainer Beer.
• Robert Pattinson actually plays the piano in the scene where Edward is playing “Bella’s Lullaby”.
• The song playing on the background when Bella comes to “have dinner” at the Cullen’s is the aria “Libiamo” from La Traviata. “Libiamo” literally means “Let’s Drink”, which is exactly what the Cullens do when they “have dinner”.
• When Bella and Edward are lying in the meadow, the sun coming through the trees makes a heart between them.
• Prior to the release of the soundtrack featuring Carter Burwell’s scored theme of “Bella’s Lullaby”, Yiruma’s piano composition, “River Flows in You”, was largely and erroneously believed by many fans to be featured in the movie as the lullaby. This was due to a popular fan site including the piece by Yiruma on a playlist of songs that served as their personal soundtrack for the Twilight book. While this song was how the fan site imagined the lullaby to sound (and subsequently thousands of fans online), it was never a part of the movie.
• Matt Bellamy of Muse gave Carter Burwell music for Bella’s Lullaby, but it wasn’t used.
• While entering the building at the prom, Victoria can be seen at a slot machine to the right of Bella, her hair in a bun, fur, and dress.
• As soon as Robert Pattinson was cast, he moved to Oregon and began working on his character, both physically and mentally. He worked out five hours a day with a trainer: learning to fight, play baseball, and do stunts. He also had to learn to drive and get an Oregon driver’s license.
• When Edward enters the cafeteria, Robert Pattinson’s sister, Lizzie, can be heard singing vocals on the soundtrack.
• Robert Pattinson moved to Oregon a few weeks before filming began and didn’t talk to anyone to try and feel as isolated as Edward Cullen.
• The apple on the cover of the book is not only a symbol for the forbidden; in Scandinavian mythology the apple is a symbol for eternal youth and beauty. However, on her official website ‘Stephanie Meyer’ states that she used the apple on the book cover because of the past literary connections (causing trouble every time) like in Snow White and the Golden Apple Paris gives to Aphrodite in Greek Mythology and because to her apple represents “choice”.
• The first scenes filmed for the movie were the ballet room showdown and the baseball scene as Cam Gigandet had to leave the set to shoot another movie.
• Edward’s car is a Volvo C30.
• The dress Kristen Stewart wears in the prom scene was only twenty dollars. The suit Robert Pattinson wore was the most expensive item of clothing from the entire shoot.
• When Carlisle bit Edward, he whispered something into his ear. The first time it was “I’m sorry” then “My son”. On about the fifth take he said, “You’re sexy”.
• In the kissing scene Kristen is wearing one of director Catherine Hardwicke’s shirts.
• The playing cards used during the prom were from Rio, a Las Vegas casino.
• In the hospital scene at the end with Edward and Bella there is a drawing of the ballet studio.
• In the scene where Bella goes to the Cullens house for the first time, when Nikki Reed’s character had to break the bowl, she actually cut her hands. This is why she is wearing gloves for the scene in the film.
• When the high school students are getting ready for prom, Eric tells Bella he’ll need to borrow her iPod for dance music. ‘Kristen Stewart’ (Bella) actually suggested the song “Flightless Bird, American Mouth” by Iron & Wine to play during the dance scene Bella shares with Edward at prom.
• Peter Facinelli was the second choice to play Carlisle Cullen. When he found out that he lost out on the final round of auditions, he wrote a note to Catherine Hardwicke, saying, “I hope to work with you sometime.” At the last minute before shooting, the original actor withdrew due to shooting conflicts. Hardwicke then offered the role to Facinelli, who immediately took up. He had to dye his hair blond before starting work.
• While doing location scouting work in La Push, Catherine Hardwicke and the crew saw people surfing and suggested to screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg to add beach surfing scene. Rosenberg agreed and added it but the scene had to be scrapped because of budget constraints.
• In the script, the climatic Bella’s “limbo” scene was intended to be an underwater sequence but budget constraints will not allow the scene to be filmed. As the alternative, outtakes from other scenes of Bella and Edward together were used, albeit digitally modified.
• Bryce Dallas Howard was offered the role of Victoria but turned it down as she found the role too small. She later took the role when Summit Entertainment fired Rachelle Lefevre from Eclipse (2010).
• In addition to Robert Pattinson and Jackson Rathbone among the 4 finalists for the role of Edward, the other two, according to Catherine Hardwicke were Ben Barnes and Shiloh Fernandez. Rathbone was eventually offered the other role of Jasper instead.
• When Edward and Bella are standing in the doorway of the Cullens’ kitchen, there is a chess set on the dining room table behind them with red and white pieces, like the cover of Breaking Dawn, the final novel in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga.
• The red contacts worn by Laurent, Victoria, and James were hand-painted by the director, Catherine Hardwicke.

Stephenie wanted this dude to play edward.

The Uninvited star Emily Browning is setting the story straight about her turning down the role of Bella Swan in Twilight.
The 20-year-old actress shared with MTV, “Maybe I should set it straight a little bit, because there are so many rumors flying around. People are coming up to me and saying, ‘Oh, my God. You turned [Twilight] down?’ and all this horrible stuff! What actually happened is that I was asked to audition — not take the part, but to just audition — shortly after The Uninvited had finished filming.”
Emily continued, “And I’m not the type of person who can just work back-to-back. So I was just exhausted, and I was like, ‘I’m sorry, but I just can’t sign on to a trilogy right now.’ I was exhausted, and I needed to come home and hang out with my family for a little bit. And I’m hoping people realize that now. I haven’t actually seen the film, but I’m sure Kristen [Stewart] did a billion times better job than I would’ve done.”

You know I was thinking  with the preproduction already underway for Breaking Dawn (set building in Louisiana, Papa Cullen (Peter F.) tweeting about costume fittings, etc.) why haven’t we seen a *official full cast list yet*…. I know we keep seeing rumors floating around and the IMDB page (which mind you is fan generated and NOT a reliable source) starting to fill up, but actual production starts in as little as 2 months.
My thoughts are Summit either has the actors they want and signed, and they will leak them slowly over the next couple months, or they are really waiting until the last minute to fulfill the VERY large list of actors needed to play all the extra characters in Breaking Dawn.
With that being said, since they are filming BD1 and BD2 back to back and we all know movies are not filmed like they are actually on the screen, some of the actors that consist of all the other covens will be needed sooner than later in filming (going on the thought that this will be filmed out of order). Point being, some would say they have not casted the parts because they will not film until later, but in the movie industry as stated above, it does not work that way.
So what do you think … does Summit have the FULL cast locked down, or are they really keeping us on the edge and doing the casting last minute…. Chime in below…

IMDb has listed two new ‘rumored’ cast members to The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2. Drew Roy is rumored to play Nahuel and Guri Weinberg is listed to play Stefan. The Twilight Examiner’s Amanda Bell has information on these two rumored cast members.

The first is Drew Roy, who the site notes is “rumored” to play “Nahuel.” That character, if you can’t quite place the name, is the one which [*spoiler alert*] which comes in at the very end as proof that “Renesmee” wasn’t the only one of her kind in the world and that she would grow up to normal size like the mortal that she is. As the Twilight SagaWiki points out, ”Nahuel is described as an extremely handsome young latin man with rich dark brown skin, eyes the color of warm teak, and extremely attractive features. He wears his black hair in braid past his shoulders.” Drew Roy is a film and TV veteran of Hannah Montana, Greek, and others, and you can check out a picture of him here.

The second is Guri Weinberg, who IMDb.com has listed as “Stefan.” “Stefan” was one of the two Romanian vampires who had a particular distaste for the “Volturi” and hoped to see them fall once and for all. Per Twilight Wiki, “He has black hair and dresses in all black.” Guri Weinberg has been in films like Munich and You Don’t Mess With The Zohan. A good photo of him is available here.
