- Description:07:57:30 - Sound Bite: Taylor Lautner, Rachelle Lefevre, Edi Gathegi when did you first hear of Twilight Lautner It uh, actually it was right after I got the role. I had no idea what Twilight was when I auditioned for it and um my agents and managers were telling me uh they were like, This ones pretty big. You want this one. I was like, Okay. Ive never heard of it. Um and then when I was cast I immediately did my research and found out how big this was and what they were talking about and I was blown away, I was like, Wow, I mean, what am I getting myself into? This has the potential of being huge, so now Im just like stoked to be a part of it. (talks) Lefevre Sure I read uh I had heard of the books but I hadnt had a chance to read them yet and I got the audition, picked up Twilight, read it right before the audition, and then um immediately after the audition without finding out whether I got the part or not I read the 2 books. (talks) Gathegi I didnt have much understanding of what this movie was before I auditioned but it was meeting Catherine Hardwicke in the room and feeling her energy and her enthusiasm for this project that she was gonna direct that made me want to be a part of it and it wasnt until like I found out that I was being seriously considered for Laurent that I read the books and I just became an instant fan and I understood why this was such a popular series because I sort of fell in love with it as well. 07:58:51 - Sound Bite: Taylor Lautner, Rachelle Lefevre, Edi Gathegi why did you fall in love with the books? Gathegi Well for me um I think that Stephanie Meyer has created uh a world which is our world um and its about this romance between a human and a vampire and once youve invested in this romance between the 2, you sort of just go with the whole vampire thing. Um and I think thats accessible, its not otherworldly, its our world. 07:59:20 - Sound Bite: Taylor Lautner, Rachelle Lefevre, Edi Gathegi was he surprised at how much they changed his look? Lautner Yeah I mean I uh I read the books so I knew that I was going to have to have longer hair than what I have uh but I didnt realize how long it was gonna be, and I was really anxious because I was like, What is it gonna look like? Um so yeah I was, when I had my wig fitting, I was very surprised, and I was like, Wow, this is gonna be fun. Uh yeah and uh the wig an adventure itself for me. It was uh it was crazy. It was itchy, it was always in my face. Yes Im telling this again. Lefevre No I just love it that he was like so hindered by his hair. Lautner I was. (talks) Lefevre Yeah yeah it was even longer before so I mean he turned to me at one point and he was like, how do you do it? I was like, I manage. Lautner How do you eat? It was in my face! Lefevre Yeah I mean its, you know, its not like its alive in any way, you know it isnt clawing on me. Lautner Thats what it felt like. 08:00:27 - Sound Bite: Taylor Lautner, Rachelle Lefevre, Edi Gathegi do you say you play the bad vampire? Gathegi Thats the easiest way to describe it, you know its about this vampire whos trying to protect this the love of his life from himself as well as from the bad vampires, but I wouldnt go so far as to call my vampire a bad vampire. Hes a vampire. He eats human beings, thats what makes him creepy. But hes actually somebody with a conscience and you know some sort of a moral compass and not entirely bad. 08:00:50 - Sound Bite: Taylor Lautner, Rachelle Lefevre, Edi Gathegi your moral compass isnt as good Lefevre I actually think that Victorias moral compass is spot-on. Um because you know its survival of the fittest and I woke up one day and I was the fittest. And I think its as simple as that. Everybody else is below me on the pecking order, and um and thats just the way Victorias gonna keep it. Gathegi She also subscribes to eye for an eye, doesnt she? Lautner Yes, yeah, or 4 eyes for 1 eye. Gathegi Right. Lautner Right?
