FILM.COM – RACHELLE, EDI AND TAYLOR INTERVIEW

Here are a few excerpts from Film.com’s interview with Rachelle, Edi and Taylor:

LL: So is it odd for you guys to do a project where 95% of the people are familiar with the source material?

Edi: Yes, only because you have to take them into consideration. You can’t deviate too far from the template. Everybody has to be on the same page. That’s why we were fortunate to have Stephenie Meyer on set as a consultant.

LL: Her cameo in the film was fantastic, by the way. Though she was pretty down on it at the press conference. How do you guys deal with negativity in general? Because I know this has been kind of a roller coaster project.

Taylor: I understand where the fans are coming from. They are so passionate about this and they have a detailed picture about what the characters are supposed to act and look like so when someone is cast that’s not exactly like that… but I understand. We can only do what we can do. I do think they’ll be proud of the outcome.

LL: What was it like with Cam Giganet on the set when he was done? Because all the rest of you guys are in for the sequel, but Cam is finished. Was it like “Poor Cam!”?

Rachelle: I saw Cam in a hoodie advertising for The Gap. Ain’t no poor Cam.

Edi: I saw him on E! the other day, his own little special.

Rachelle: We were all in the woods so we started making up Native American names for each other, and Cam’s was “SmokesAloneIntheWoods.”

Edi: Definitely a lone ranger. We know we’ll see him again though, and it will be nothing but love. He definitely has his own thing going on though.

Rachelle: I feel like there were two sides to him, there was the guy who liked to be alone and do his own thing. But then we had days on set where he’d have these moments where he opens up. And when he smiles stuff moves out of the way. He has a megawatt smile. He’s so lovely. But he’s just quiet. He’s never rude, and never mean, and he won’t blow you off or anything. He’s just quiet. He just keeps to himself.

LL: Allright, last one, give a message to the fans.

Edi: Thank you so much for your support, you are the driving force behind the entire thing. We tried to do our best to bring you the best film. And from Taylor: You’re not a real fan unless you see the movie at least five times.

Taylor: If you want to call yourself a Twi-Hard you are seeing it minimum ten times!

LL: On opening weekend, or spread out?

Taylor: You can space it.

Edi: Yeah, we’re generous.

Rachelle: In addition to the thank you I want to take this opportunity to say go easy on Rob ladies, when you see him in public. He’s a nice guy. Saying hi is one thing, but please don’t attack him, we care and worry about him!

SmokesAloneIntheWoods reall cracked me up. I wonder if they made up names for all the cast? I’d love to hear all their names.

If you had to make up Indian names for the entire cast, what would their names be? What do you think of this interview?
