Thinking of Rob translated the interview in Premiere magazine!! Check out part of it!

P: The last time we spoke you were filming New Moon. Now one year later we meet again for The Twilight Saga Eclipse. I have trouble following it’s going so fast…
RP: Only two months went by between the filming of New Moon and Eclipse, during which I filmed Remember Me. Everything, went by so fast that I feel like I never really left Twilight. That being said, I still felt lost when I arrived on the set of Eclipse. I didn’t have any preparation time and it took me a few weeks to adapt.
P: What did you expect from David Slade and was he different on set from what you imagined?
RP: I had absolutely no idea what to expect from a Director who was specialized in movies more for adults, who doesn’t back away from very explicit brutality. I sincerely wondered how this universe would merge with the Twilight universe, which isn’t known for its unbearable violence. David had very specific ideas of what he wanted to do, with a work method and approach that was totally different from Catherine Hardwicke or Chris Weitz.
P: For example?
RP: Eclipse introduces many new characters; the atmosphere is less confined than the others. Twilight was based on the romance between Edward & Bella, New Moon on the relationship between Bella & Jacob with Edward in the background. Eclipse allows each character to have his “moment”, the spectrum is larger. The film also has more rhythm; it’s less based on intimacy.

NEW Eclipse Clip With Robert Pattinson Intro: Blood Is Thicker Than Water

Julia Jones In DeMan Magazine!

Julia Jones (aka Leah Clearwater) is featured in DeMan magazine’s recent issue with Kellan Lutz on the cover. Julia looked stunning photographed by Mitchell McCormack.

On her favorite Eclipse scene to film: “[My favorite was] one of the last scenes in the big battle toward the end. Those scenes have a great combination of action and emotional depth. Also, most of the characters are in them. I found shooting in the midst of all that chaos was great fun.”
On why she likes playing Leah Clearwater, a Native American: “One of the best parts about playing a member of the wolfpack, all of whom are Quileute, is that I don’t think of us in ethnic terms. Each character has so many intricate layers of detail that have to do with our back stories and our individual struggles. That is something I relish.”
On the five people she’d invite to her dream dinner party: “Former U.S. president Bill Clinton, former Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham, novelist Louise Erdrich, actress Katharine Hepburn and Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson.”

Photo: Courtesy of Volvo

A brand new still image from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse of Bella and Edward (Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson) with Edward's Volvo XC60 has just been revealed.
As you know, Volvo has begun its Eclipse-related promotional launch with a premiere sweepstakes and the introduction of the "Lost in Forks" contest to win Edward's Volvo (pictured right).
The "Lost in Forks" game begins on June 22nd, and apparently Twilight fans will be seeing some commercial footage from the company before too long because the company was reportedly filming a promotional video of some sort in Forks, Washington. Check out that story here.

Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner to hit 'Letterman' to promote 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse'

Looks like Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will be headed to The Late Show With David Letterman at the end of this month - not at the same time though.
Gossip Cop reports that Kristen Stewart will be hitting the talk show on June 28th while Lautner will make his way there on July 1st.
The two have already been busy promoting the film's release around the globe - having already stopped in Australia and Korea. They're also scheduled to appear in Rome, Italy on June 17th and Stockholm, Sweden on June 21st (after this weekend's Los Angeles, California-based Twilight convention stop and press junket).

Chaske Spencer talks about the effects of being a 'Twilight' star

A little over a year ago, Chaske Spencer became a part of one of the biggest film franchises in modern popular culture, the Twilight Saga, and there's just no way that being a part of it wouldn't affect his acting career.
In a recent interview with Australia's Blacktown Sun, Chaske Spencer talked about the quality and quantity of the series' impact upon him.
"I'm gonna be forever attached to this franchise and it's a double edged sword," he explained. "[I]t's giving me opportunities . . . but at some point you've got to distance yourself and take other roles where you keep your shirt on."
While the series does create the potential for being pidgeon-holed on one side, Spencer also explained it offers him a chance for a new experience as well.
"[T]he fans of Twilight don't see us as native American actors, they see us as actors, which is something new. It's a breath of fresh air that when the character's introduced you have some rock music playing in the background, they're not looking at you as long-haired native American. They're looking at you as a werewolf that happens to be native."
Aside from being a part of the Twilight series, Spencer is also involved in other pictures including Shouting Secrets (which he just filmed with Gil Birmingham) and projects like Be The Shift.
