CANMAG.COM - INTERVIEW WITH ASHLEY GREENE
CANMAG.COM - Ashley Greene hasn’t even hit it big yet and already she has a following. These fans aren’t devoted to her episodic stints on Shark and Crossing Jordan. As soon as she was cast as Alice Cullen in Twilight, they found her.
Ashley Greene on Twilight“Yeah, I didn’t realize it was going to be such a huge deal until we were filming in Portland,” Greene said. “My mom said, ‘You have a fan site.’ I was like, ‘People don’t know who I am.’ You know, before the film’s even done, so it’s a pleasant surprise. They just saw photos of us online.”
Were she not in the film, Greene might have been one of those fans herself. “I actually read the first one before my first meeting. I wasn’t aware of them before that but my manager came to me and said this is a really great opportunity. It has the potential to be good and don’t mess up, basically. But they didn’t send the script out and they didn’t send breakdowns so they read the book in a day and a half and fell in love with it and read the second and third, just because I wanted to. So I get why people are so in love with it. When I finally got cast in the part, I was ecstatic and cried and super happy.”
Even Greene marveled at her vamped out self. “They did a fantastic job at kind of transforming all of us. We’re supposed to be these exquisite people but then we’re supposed to be these exquisite people trying to fit in, so it was a really hard [balance].”Flying around wasn’t too bad either. “Wirework was amazing. It was super fun. You know, it’s not actually that difficult to take to I don’t think. You know, they rehearsed it 20 times. The first couple takes were kind of embarrassing actually, us trying to do it.”
It was the film’s set piece baseball scene that gave her the most difficulty. “I actually hit a cameraman with a baseball,” she admitted.

Ashley cried when she got the part. Nice to know she wanted it that bad after reading the script. I think she makes a great Alice. And she seems to be really nice to fans. What do you think? Have you met her? Is she super nice to fans? Is she your ideal Alice?

I think Alice made the show! I hope New Moon gives her and the rest of the Cullens as much material as it can.
When I read the books, Alice was my 3rd fave character, after Bella and Edward. I love Alice and wish she’d been in Twilight, the movie, more than she was. Ashley did a super job and I look forward to seeing more of her and Alice in New Moon and Eclipse. So funny that she hit the cameraman with a bat-I’m sure she felt awful.
Great interview and I’m glad Ashley’s getting some attention, finally!
Hoping that she is the REAL AMG on FB, then yes, I’ve talked to her twice. She’s super nice and tries to make an effort to contact her fans. I think she makes the perfect Alice! She seems genuine in her fun/great attitude. Go Ashley!

Alice is, by far, my favorite character….and I think Ashley has done her justice.
I haven’t had the privledge of meeting her or talking to her, but she does seem really nice.
All the people cast in this movie, seem to be really down to earth, it’s refreshing.
