'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' filming recounted by Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner

'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' - Summit Ent.

After their appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show's taping a couple of weeks ago, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner all stopped to talk about The Twilight Saga: Eclipse with USA Today, and among the many things revealed in the interview was how Lautner assisted co-star Stewart in bringing to life a rather challenging scene.
As you might recall with The Twilight Saga: New Moon, bringing CGI werewolves to the big screen is a rather mechanical process, and many of the Twilight series' castmembers have reflected on the difficulty of (or at least humor in) bringing emotion to a confrontation with what is basically a piece of cardboard shaped like (as Edi Gathegi has suggested before) a "cow."
So, Kristen Stewart's task in being affectionate to and petting the werewolf version of "Jacob" was difficult, but Taylor Lautner stepped up to ease the process.
Here's the story as told by USA Today:

He waffles over the wisdom of sharing an anecdote about the scene in which the vicious horse-sized beast sweetly nuzzles Bella and she scratches his ear. After a little coaxing, he relents.

"That day I came on set and put on this tight gray spandex suit ..."

"There is dialogue and I talk to him," Stewart explains. "I said, 'How am I going to do this without Taylor?' " So instead of the actress pretending that a massive computer-animated wolf was nearby, Lautner volunteered to be its stand-in.

"Basically, it looked like a Teletubby," he continues about his outfit. "I had this circle on the face but everything else was covered. It was weird. But, yeah, I stood there and would literally bend over ..."

"I would actually pet his head," Stewart adds.

Robert Pattinson also revealed that he was extremely nervous about the day that they would shoot the Eclipse proposal sequence.

"I was dreading the day it was coming," he says of the scene that was held until the very end of the shoot. "The first time I read the script, I thought, 'This is impossible.' " References to "promenades" and sharing "iced tea on the porch" as Edward explains how he would have courted Bella in the old days especially stuck in his throat. "It's so earnest. I finally convinced the producers that you can play it with a bit of awareness of not being a fictional character. I'm not trying to be part of a Gothic novel."

When Pattinson finally watched it, however, he was pleasantly surprised. "It seems different when you see it."
