Ashley Greene covers December issue of Flare Magazine


Here’s a bit of information on the cover shot, as well as a few tidbits from the interview
Ashley Greene is gorgeous in a gown by Marchesa and jewellery by Laruicci on the December cover of Canadian fashion magazine FLARE. Inside, Ashley goes for holiday glamour in a Gucci dress, MCL cuff, and Brumani ring. In FLARE’s exclusive interview, the star of Breaking Dawn talks about her close-knit cast, the Twilight superfans, and what she wore for the most-anticipated onscreen wedding of the year.
On her protective instincts toward Taylor Lautner: “The guys get some very intense um… propositions. We all got a little ‘momma bear’ on Taylor because women were giving the guys their numbers and their panties and it was just a little insane.”
On staying in touch with the cast: “We’ll do dinners and game nights. This whole experience was really special to a lot of us, and we certainly don’t want to lose that family aspect just because we’re not filming.”
On Alice Cullen’s telepathic powers: “Seeing the future sounds really cool, but I think it would drive me crazy, honestly. I think it takes away the mystery, and that’s one of the best things about life… You never know what’s going to happen and you have to live every day like it’s your last.”
On embracing the single life: “I’m not dating anyone right now, which is nice. I’m choosing to take it as a really great opportunity to focus on myself and figure out what’s next in my career.”
On filming Bella and Edward’s wedding scenes: “Watching your friends get married, onscreen or off, is a very interesting, delicate thing.”
On her vision for her character’s bridesmaid’s gown: “I wanted Alice’s past incorporated into her dress a little bit. She’s from the 1920s and 1930s, so we kind of kept that in mind.”

Rob, Kristen and Taylor's Interview with 15 a 20 Magazine- Mexico

Let’s talk about the wedding, Kristen’s dress, all the details…
Rob: Yes, the weddings are all about the girl, right? I was just standing there, waiting (laughs). Kristen was going crazy with the dress and everything, and I just kept thinking ‘I have to wear this stupid suit!’.
How has Kristen evolved all these years as an actress?
Rob: Well, she became an adult. She was 17 when we started, she’s 21 now. Her personality has changed a lot. As an actress, she’s always been very confident, that’s why I laugh when people say she’s shy. She’s not shy at all (laughs)
____
As an actor, was it difficult to shoot these scenes with Rob?
Kristen: Yes, filming these scenes was weird. In the end I didn’t feel like we had filmed a sex scene, because we were both so uncomfortable and insecure, and because it’s something very subjective. There’s times when there’s weird close ups, and everybody has such high expectations for these scenes.
So giving birth was easy in comparison, right?
Kristen: Oh, it was just as hard. Those three things: wedding, sex, baby, were very hard.
____
What do you like the most about Kristen?
Taylor: We’re very close, she’s very special to me. She’s definitely one of my best friends. An amazing person.
And Rob?
Taylor: He makes everyone laugh. He’s a great guy, he’s funny, he’s always having a good time, and we all have a blast together when he’s around.
What was the funniest part about filming this movie?
Taylor: Rob had to pretend he hit and I had to fly across the room, and it was so fun to shoot because Rob tried to be all kung fu master, so we were both cracking up, but the final shot looks amazing. It was the first time he did a scene with absolutely no doubles, so it was very funny. We had to do like 10 different takes.

Bill Condon talks about the Breaking Dawn Birth Scene

Boxoffice recently chatted with Bill Condon, the director behind the last two installments of the beloved Twilight Saga. Check out an excerpt of the interview below.

We interviewed Robert Pattinson a while back and he said the only other director he could imagine handling the blood of Breaking Dawn was David Cronenberg [The Fly, Naked Lunch].

And then he went to work for him! [In 2012's Cosmopolis] But I know what he means because it is very, very intense in the last part—it's almost like a horror movie. And he's certainly delivered the most intense images in the last decade or so. I tried to get my Cronenberg on a little bit and I think within the confines of a PG-13 rating, I think we've got something that's pretty powerful.

Everyone has been saying for years how hard it would be to make Breaking Dawn PG-13. How did you pull it off?

The whole movie is very immersive, kind of like in the book, which is in the point of view of Bella and Jacob [Taylor Lautner]. We tried to do the same thing in the movie—there's a whole chunk where you get inside the head of a wolf. And in terms of the birth, it was, "Let's do it from Bella's point of view. Let's see whatever she can see." Once you decide on an approach like that, it's amazing how powerful you can be without being overly explicit. She gets glimpses of a lot of things—and hears everything—but it's not the cutaway to teeth clawing through flesh. But you certainly know what's happening.

Kristen Stewart on Bella in Breaking Dawn Part 1

A new interview with Kristen Stewart regarding The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 was unveiled by La Semaine recently, and a few fans snagged a copy and put together a translation.

The whole interview is great, but one part which sticks out to me is at the very end when she talks about what “Bella” goes through in Breaking Dawn, as compared to her experiences in the first three films.

“It gives you what you’ve been waiting for. Bella is a fighter. She fought for what she believed was her destiny. When you see her, you see her fight and you realize that she’ll die, you understand what she keeps saying throughout the series that she’s ready to die for her destiny and that now, she’s fully ready to do so.”

Wyck Godfrey Talks ‘Breaking Dawn’ and Bill Condon with Syfy Magazine

In the December issue of Syfy Magazine, Wyck Godfrey, who is the producer on The Twilight Saga, talks about Breaking Dawn and how the filmmakers decided to hire Director Bill Condon.

With Breaking Dawn, it’s a journey into adulthood. It’s a very mature step for Edward and Bella, moving into marriage and sex for the first time, pregnancy, birth. All of that really speaks to finding a filmmaker who could help our young actors, who hadn’t gone through any of that stuff … go through that process. Bill’s work has always come from a place of maturity, I found … He’s always directed films about misunderstood outsiders. And I feel that Edward and Bella are misunderstood outsiders, in terms of what they want. And Condon’s work also has some visual scale to it. Dreamgirls showed that he could direct a movie that had a really beautiful visual style to it.

Charlize Theron talks about Kristen

"I haven't gotten to work with [Kristen] yet ... it's mostly been me and my kingdom, alone, while everyone is out looking for her," she said. Production will resume in two weeks in London, where the pair will finally go head-to-head.
"We've had one day together, she did some off-camera for me and we got to hang out a little bit. She's super cool and she's going to be amazing in this,"
