Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone and Kellan Lutz Discuss the Told and Untold ‘Twilight Saga’ Tales
We’ve had some great fansite interviews from Comic Con with Mackenzie foy and then Peter, Liz and Nikki, now Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone and Kellan Lutz are here to chat on the Twilight Saga as well. Here the trio of Cullen siblings discuss who got to tell their backstory from Stephenie Meyer and who didn’t, and why Kellan still really wants his story with that bear. Check out more below:

Speaking of that, is there any moments that haven’t made into the films for your characters that you wish did, and are there moments that you were, like, “Thank God that did make it!”
Ashley: Apparently him (Kellan) making out Rosalie did not make it in.
Kellan: You know, they both got backstories, and I never really got to show my backstory.
Ashley: Mine didn’t get shown! (Pause)
Kellan: What movies? No, Ashley’s didn’t as well. It was Rosalie’s and Jasper’s. And I wish we could do… there was an excerpt that Stephenie Meyer wrote of “Emmett and the Bear,” and I loved it. It really showed that connection of Edward and Emmett. And I’d loved to see a little backstory of how Emmett reminded Rosalie of a little boy that she had really loved. And how she fell in love with Emmett, and how he was almost dying from the attack, and how she saved him. And I think that’s the one thing that was really lacking is their connection, Rosalie and Emmett’s, and how it’s so pure and strong, and why Emmett just views Rosalie as this guardian angel, you know? I wish they had shown that.
Jackson: I wish they had shown the end of my backstory coming into the Cullen clan, because I think that was really amazing, and magic and beautiful.
Ashley: Yeah.
Jackson: And yeah, we just get into it like, “Civil War! On a horse!”
Ashley: Bye! I was like, “Where is Alice in this?” There’s like a Maria somewhere.
Jackson: Yeah, she’s like, “Who is this Maria chick?”
Ashley: Who is this lady?
Jackson: She comes up, like (bangs the table for emphasis) “I hate this story!” Get to the good part.
Ashley: This is so stupid. (sarcastic) “Are you still filming that? Is that what you’re doing today? That’s great.”
Jackson: Yeah, it would’ve been nice to kinda go into that. I think what Stephenie did with these books is that she created this amazing tapestry with all these, lush, lush textures, you know? Every character is deep, and every character has this side to them that gets revealed here and there in the books, and sometimes it’s really hard to translate that into a film series, even when you have a franchise five films long, it’s still not enough time to really go into it, and dig it.
