12 Minutes 49 Seconds with Chris Weitz

Time writer Lev Grossman has a great interview with Chris Weitz, it is probably one of my favorites!

Chris Weitz: It was this crazy thing, which everybody was kind of warning us about. 7,000 Twilight fans in a room screaming for Rob.

Me: It's an uncanny sound. I think only teenage girls can make that sound.That high, keening noise.

It's like Beatlemania.

That's the only thing I can think of, the Beatles. You see old footage of that type of thing. It happened in Montepulciano, when we were shooting there. It was like The Birds, but with young girls. You'd turn a corner and there would be one or two or three. And the next time you looked there would be 10, 20, 50, 100.

Then before you know it gas stations are exploding.

Exactly. I think basically the panel today would have worked perfectly for the fans if it had just been us sitting there, and they could just look at Rob and Taylor. Maybe Rob and Taylor would move a little.

I liked the vibe between Bella and Jacob. It felt real, but also different from the way she interacts with Edward.

Taylor's very much like the character, tremendously sunny and upbeat. And Kristen is very protective of Taylor, actually. He's 17 now, and Kristen's been working since Panic Room if not before that. She wanted to make sure Taylor was protected from the world, and that works perfectly with the dynamic of the book.

And my favorite excerpt:

I hope there's sparkling in this one.

There will be lots of sparkling.

Make sure you go and read the whole thing here. It is really a good interview!
