Friday I was able to make the trip to Atlanta with a friend for the official Twilight convention. Peter Facinelli was there, and we got some fun tidbits from him. I thought I'd share.
First things first, they also showed some interviews from the New Moon press conference that are exclusive to the convention (meaning you can't see them anywhere else). This is what I learned from those (Sorry,, but Rob's was the shortest and didn't tell me anything I hadn't already heard before):
Kristen Stewart:
- The only thing she splurges on are sneakers. She has too many of them.
- She said they filmed a scene for New Moon (although I think she confused it with Eclipse) where Bella and Jacob kiss and she sees what her life would be like if she picked him. She said the vision includes their children and Kristen in old-age makeup.
- When asked if she's looking forward to playing a young mother, she said she feels like she has already played a young mother because of the aforementioned scene, but that yes, she's looking forward to that aspect of Breaking Dawn.
- New Moon is her favorite book in the series.
Robert Pattinson:
- His favorite superhero is Gambit from the X-Men. (Yes! Gambit rules!)
Ashley Greene:
- If she could steal any car, it would be an Ashton Martin.
Taylor Lautner:
- He and Kristen Stewart share a friendship in real life similar to the playful friendship between Jacob and Bella.
- If he could be either a werewolf or vampire, he'd still choose to be a werewolf.
Finally, during Peter Facinelli's Q&A, we learned the following:
- On a scale of 1 to 10, he'd rate Carlisle as a 12 in terms of fatherhood. He said he now finds himself trying to think of how Carlisle would react when he deals with his own children. He said Carlisle's best feature as a father is that he truly understands everyone's point of view and uses that to keep the peace.
- He doesn't know anything about Breaking Dawn. He said the fans usually know information before he does. He hasn't yet been contacted about filming it.
- He hopes Eclipse will please the fans because it is his favorite book in the series. He said every director brings something different to the films, and the actors have placed their trust in David Spade not to do something that looks like "The Munsters." He has seen an early B&W watermarked copy of the movie that wasn't finished, and Peter thinks it will turn out to be a crowd-pleaser. He said the tone reminded him a little bit of Twilight but that it also retained the sweeping epic feel that made New Moon so great.
- His most embarrassing moment on set happened during the filming of Twilight. When James says, "You brought a snack" and the Cullens huddle to protect Bella, he decided it would be cool if he leapt into the huddle. He leapt and landed on top of Rob instead.
- When asked who his favorite cast member to work with was, he answered, "That's like asking me which one of my kids I like best." He said he loves everyone in the cast. He considers them all to be great friends, although he said he really enjoyed working with Kristen in their scenes alone for New Moon.
- Of all three movies so far, he had the best time filming Twilight with Catherine Hardwicke.
- At the last convention he told a fan that M&Ms were his favorite candy. He then received boatloads of it. He said when they were filming New Moon, Rob was very concerned about keeping his body in shape for the shirtless scene, but he kept coming over to Peter's room to hang out and he would always eat a bunch of M&Ms. He finally told Peter, "You're trying to ruin me!"
- Peter is producing and starring in a 3D film. It's a comedy about angels and demons.
