New Interview — Jodelle Ferland Talks Eclipse, and Bree Tanner!

BSCReview.com has a new interview with Eclipse Vampire Jodelle Ferland (aka Bree Tanner).
In the interview Jodelle talks about being cast in Eclipse, her character and more -

Elena Nola:  So, were you a fan of the Twilight series before you got cast as Bree?
Jodelle Ferland:  I had read the books, and I’d seen the movie, and I definitely loved the books.  I mean, I’m a major book horse, and I also really liked the movie too.  So I was a fan of it before I got the part.
What did it feel like to get a part in a story you like so much?
AMAZING!  I mean, it was completely unreal, when you see people pretty much every day and then suddenly they’re ACTUALLY in front of you.  It’s insane, I mean it feels so unreal!

How did you end up getting cast?  Was it something you had reached out on, like have your agent let them know you were interested, or did they just happen to throw the audition at you?
Well, it was the same as any other audition process.  I got a call from my agent that I had an audition for Eclipse, and I went and I did my audition, and then I got a call back, and after that I found out I got the part.
Did it make you nervous going into it, knowing that this was a project you were going to really want to do, or did it help?
I tried to think of it like any other show, because (giggles) if I started to think of it like, “Oh, my gosh, this is Eclipse, if I fail at this audition it’s going to be horrible,” it’s just too much pressure on me.  So I tried to stay calm and act like it was any other show.
Who is your favorite vampire?
Well, my favorite Cullen is Alice—she’s so cute. I love her!
How can you not?  She’s adorable!  How different do you think your experience has been, coming into Eclipse after the franchise was already a national phenomenon, as opposed to the cast members who went into Twilight thinking it was going to be a nothing movie?
(Laughs.)  Well, definitely everybody already knew each other really well. The whole cast was already established.  But they made me feel really welcome, and I was so happy to be a part of it.  It’s a lot similar to when I do a guest star on a series, because everybody already knows each other really well.  They’ve been working with each other for a long time, and then I come on just for a little while.  But I still had a really good time.
On the same line, have you been the recipient of much of the crazy fandom attention yet, other than you know, people like me randomly showing up at your other movies?
I definitely don’t get it as bad as the main stars, who have been doing it since the first movie—Kristin, Rob, Taylor (laughs). They have it a lot worse than I do.  But I’m sure that when I go to the premiere it’s going to be crazy!
Be ready to get screamed at.
Uh-huh.
How much have you gotten to work with the three of them, and the rest of the principles—the rest of the Cullen family?
I was filming for around two weeks, most of that was with the Cullen family.  I also worked with Xavier Samuel, he plays Riley.  I actually didn’t have any scenes with Taylor Lautner.
Not even during the big fight scene?
Naw.  I didn’t get to work with him, which sucked, but I did get to meet him.  So I was happy about that (laughs).
