FEARNET.COM: NEW INTERVIEW WITH KELLAN LUTZ, RACHELLE LEFEVRE, AND EDI GATHEGI

Fearnet.com has a great, and very long, new interview with Kellan Lutz, Rachelle Lefevre, and Edi Gathegi of ‘Twilight’. It is very in-depth and they are asked about their characters, filming, the new director, and much more:

How have you all of you guys perceived the attention you’ve been getting? Do you find you have it a bit easier than Robert and Kristen or do you still feel like you’re drowning in it?

GATHEGI: A little easier? No man, I can’t imagine what they’re going through. Jokingly, I think Rob can’t leave the house without full security detail. He’s full-blown A-lister, presenting at the Oscars. He’s getting it bad. It comes with the territory though. It’s an icon right now, a full blown pop-culture phenomenon, this movie. I personally can fly a bit under the radar since I look different in person than I do in the film. I’m not wearing huge locks. I think people are starting to know who I am but my character is not big enough or significant enough to garner that kind of public attention. It’s nice when I do, but I can definitely retreat and enjoy a meal at a restaurant.

Those dreadlocks. I’m going to grow them out now. [Laughs.] I get a table at a restaurant, they’ll be like “Edi who?” “Edi dread.” “Oh, This way!”

Regarding New Moon, you’ll all be in the film.

LUTZ: Yeah we’re all confirmed.

LEFEVRE: It’s vampire camp. I keep calling it vampire camp.

LUTZ: It’s nice to be part of it. It’s very similar to the book. I loved the script, we all enjoyed it and I think it’s just great being back together again.

LEFEVRE: Yeah.

Rachelle, you’re badder than ever in this film…

LEFEVRE: Oh yeah, I’m bad. [Laughs.]

How do you get into that mindset?

LEFEVRE: For me I’m not treating it any differently because Victoria’s a vampire. For me it’s very straightforward in terms of what has happened here. The person who I loved and the person who I was going to spend literally eternity with has been taken from me in a pretty horrifying way. It’s something I see as an injustice, and it’s channeling very human emotions because vampires are humans with a virus. For me it’s channeling devastation and revenge. All the darker human emotions.

With this film you’re working with a new director. Can you talk about any differences you’re sensing? Is the vibe any different?

LUTZ: I don’t know if any of us have had the pleasure of meeting Chris.

LEFEVRE: I’ve talked to him on the phone.

LUTZ: Oh, good. You like him?

LEFEVRE: Yeah, he’s great. He’s quite different than Catherine. Because with Catherine there was a real sense of energy coming through. It kind of comes out in a different way with Chris. He’s more measured. I think because he comes from being a writer and has come off of a film like The Golden Compass that he’s just thought it through completely. He’s ridiculously smart. You can tell by talking to him. I think he went to Cambridge. He’s a real intellectual. It’s real interesting because he has a fresh take. At the same time, you can tell that he’s seen the movie, read the book and respects that we’ve already established something, and that it needs to be continued and fans expect some continuity.
