ABOUT.COM: INTERVIEW WITH PETER FACINELLI
ABOUT.COM caught up with Peter Facinelli and got a great interview, he talks about seeing Stephenie Meyer at Disneyland, filming New Moon, and even some about his new movie:
So you have started filming?Peter Facinelli: “We have started filming.”
Where are you so far?
Peter Facinelli: “Well, nothing’s shot in order but we’ve shot the…let’s see…the birthday scene. We’ve shot that. And we’ve the voting scene. I’m not going to tell you what we all voted, but read the book. What else did we shoot? I shot stitching up Bella which was a lovely little scene. I pretty much mostly almost finished. I have a couple other shots to do in May and then we’re done.”
Have they added more Cullen family scenes?
Peter Facinelli: “You know, it’s hard because when you’re doing stuff that’s based on a book, if you add too much that’s not in there the fans don’t like it. I think we’re… There’s always going to be creative interpretations of stuff. But as far as adding stuff, there’s so much in it already, it’s hard to add. You have a 500 page book that you’ve got to squeeze down to two hours.”
But everyone wanted more of you guys in it.
Peter Facinelli: “Yeah. They’re going to have to wait for the third one. We’re more in the third and fourth for sure. I saw, which was really funny, I saw Stephenie Meyer at Disneyland. We went to Disneyland – just randomly went to Disneyland with my family and we both were eating dinner at the [Blue] Bayou restaurant, you know, Pirates of the Caribbean. And it was so odd. She walked over and I was like, ‘This is too coincidental.’ But, I should have told her, ‘You know, why did you take the Cullens out of the second book so much?’ I did tell her, ‘You know what? I’m a little upset I didn’t get to go to Italy.’ I said, ‘Carlisle could have shown up in Italy.’”
He knows those guys.
Peter Facinelli: “He knows those guys. He’d be like, ‘Hey, you know, it’s all cool. These are my kids.’”
You know, if she’s not going to do Midnight Sun, maybe she should just do one focusing on you.
Peter Facinelli: “I think so. I think so. I’ll have to meet her up again at Disneyland.”

I find it pretty exciting to know that all those scenes are done already.It’s exciting to know we’re just that much closer! How funny that Peter and Stephenie just happened to go to Disneyland at the same time, and even eat at the same place. Again, you can’t help but love Peter he is always so sweet, friendly and appreciative about the fans in his interviews.
What did you think of this interview? Are you excited to hear which scenes are done?

Peter is a sweetie. What a nice photo of him too. That’s funny about meeting Stephenie. It does make sense that Carlisle might have helped with the Volturi, but I’m glad they didn’t change it from the book.
Also glad to hear the voting scene will be in. I can’t wait to see Rob stomping out of the room growling and tearing stuff apart.
Of course my heart skipped more than one beat when Midnight Sun was mentioned. I feel it is a jinx to even suggest she won’t finish it. That’s too upsetting to even think about. Shhh!!
Oh my gosh.. what a great idea. take carlisle off and tell his story. that’s so got to be a good one. I can only imagine what kind of escapades happen with him.
He seems so nice, sweet, and appreciative, like you said.
Wow, that is a coincidence that both of them ran into each other.
I would love a book about Carlisle, especially how he started!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen/read an interview of Peter that I didn’t like. This one was no exception…he’s always thoughtful & clever in his answers. Love how he told SM “You know what? I’m a little upset I didn’t get to go to Italy”!
OMGosh I have always liked Peter but this interview just blew me away. He is such a cutie and so down to earth. I can’t wait to see New Moon. I am looking forward to seeing the scenes that did and didn’t make the cut.
P.S. I might have a budding crush on Peter now!
Awww Peter
He is too cute! I really like it when they do interviews with people other than Rob and Kristen, even though I adore their interviews too!
wait..did he just said that the movie was ONLY 2 hours?????shuucksss..I really wanted it to be more than 2 hours…=(
Peter is sweet and funny, and hopefully Stephenie finish the Midnight Sun, its make sense and Edward’s mind reading is funny, with other people especially with Emmet and Rosalie, Mike and Jessica.
I love Carlisle! And Peter, of course. He’s such a sweetheart. I wish I could meet him in person! =]
hahahahha, he’s so funny! i’m glad he’s carlisle.
