FANDANGO: ‘NEW MOON’S’ JAMIE CAMPBELL BOWER
The folks at Fandango have a brand new interview with Jamie Campbell Bower from their exclusive set visit. Jamie talks about the contacts, Caius and the future:
Q. How would you compare Caius to your role of Anthony in Sweeney Todd?
Campbell Bower: Anthony was a nice guy, and Caius is – I don’t want to say not nice but he’s a little bit more broody and dark. Brooding – not broody. He doesn’t want to have a baby, he’s brooding. [Laughs]Q. How come you’re not wearing your vampire red contacts right now?
Campbell Bower: They hurt. They don’t hurt so much as make me feel a bit sick because my peripheral vision is very much impaired when I have them in.Q. How would you describe Caius’ look?
Campbell Bower: I had a discussion with (costume designer) Tish (Monaghan), and we figured out that Caius probably doesn’t get to go out that much, so… he just steals his clothes from previous victims. The style is nice and smart and sleek and slim and – yeah, I like it. It’s very Italian, and I like the shoes, particularly.Q. How much is expanded on in the 18th century flashback scenes?
Campbell Bower: A little bit – not very much as far as the Volturi go. It’s awesome. It does look really cool and it will be kind of shocking. I don’t want to go too far and ruin it for anyone.Q. Are you signed on for Eclipse and Breaking Dawn?
Campbell Bower: I possibly will be coming back for number four. Number three, not at the moment. I don’t think Caius appears at all in number three.Q. Were you prepared to be a part of the Twilight madness?
Campbell Bower: Nothing has really prepared me for that. I got off the plane the other night when I arrived and there were five guys waiting there asking if I could take a picture with them. That was weird enough! I was like, “Why? Uh, OK. Yes, of course I can. You know I’m nobody, right?” It’s really interesting, and I only hope that, with the support that I’m getting from people at the moment, I will live up to it in the film. My Twitter fan base between last month and this month has gone up 6,000 people. That is craziness! That is really, really bizarre.

Jamie always sounds like such a cool guy. I was skeptical at first, but he really sounds like he’s ready and will be a good Caius. It’s too bad the contacts continue to be so uncomfortable for the acotrs.
What do you think of Jamie’s interview? Did you see him in Sweeney Todd?
