Kristen Stewart As A ‘Breaking Dawn’ Vampire ‘Scared Me,’ Elizabeth Reaser Says

‘Twilight’ co-star tells MTV News, ‘I thought, ‘This might not end well. She’s looking pretty pissed right now.’ ‘ By Terri Schwartz Elizabeth Reaser Photo: MTV News PARK CITY, Utah — Ever since Kristen Stewart spilled the beans at the that she had been filming “Breaking Dawn” as a vampire that day, it’s all we can think about when we get the chance to talk to one of her “Twilight Saga” co-stars. Elizabeth Reaser, who plays Esme Cullen in the film franchise, teased at the Sundance Film Festival this week that there have been some crazy vampire scenes on set recently. “There’s been some really cool stuff in the Cullen house with Bella,” Reaser revealed to MTV News. “There’s been some interesting transformations happening.” Sounds to us like director Bill Condon has been filming the famous “Breaking Dawn” birthing scene, and that Reaser got a chance to see Bella’s transformation into a vampire. already shared that the birthing scene will be shown from Bella’s perspective to keep with the film’s PG-13 rating , but as Reaser witnessed the whole scene unfold, what was her impression of Stewart’s transformation? “She scared me a little bit on Thursday, I’ll be honest with you,” Reaser said. “Because when vampires are newborns, they’re stronger than any other vampires, so for a second there I thought, ‘This might not end well. She’s looking pretty pissed right now.’ It was great.” Reaser’s praise of Stewart’s performance as vampire Bella matches with what co-stars Robert Pattinson and Peter Facinelli had to say about it at the Golden Globes. Pattinson told MTV News it felt like Stewart “wanted to do it the entire time.” “It’s really funny, it’s like a completely different environment on set when she’s a vampire and when she’s not,” he said. “I think she’s going to do it really well.” In the books, Bella becomes much more confident after transforming into a vampire, so it’s fitting that Stewart is coming into her own with the role. Facinelli jokingly credited vampire contact lenses as the real reason Stewart is doing so much better. “She’s doing really well. She looks fantastic,” Facinelli raved. “For some reason, once they put those contact lenses in, you look very statuesque.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

Kristen Stewart Wants To Set Up Charity For Sex Workers

KStew tells Vogue how her Welcome to the Rileys role inspired idea. By Eric Ditzian Kristen Stewart in the February issue of Vogue Photo: Vogue/ Mario Testino Kristen Stewart has said on several occasions that her role as a runaway prostitute in “Welcome to the Rileys” was the most personally affecting of her career. “If you do a movie, especially this one — it’s not the easiest thing subject-matter-wise — it stuck with me,” she told MTV News in October. The film continues to stick with her, so much so that she hopes one day to take her vast earnings and set up a charitable organization to aid women in a similar situation to her character. According to an interview in Vogue, the 20-year-old actress is assembling a plan to establish a network of halfway houses to support runaways who wind up in the sex trade. “That would be amazing,” she said. “Right now, it’s the thing I feel most connected to.” At the moment, though, she’s fully consumed with filming the two parts of “Breaking Dawn” in Baton Rouge. “It’s starting to enter my head a lot more than it used to because it’s at the end, and it’s come such a long way. I just want the fans of the book to be happy. I don’t necessarily care about anyone else.” Returning to the “Twilight” franchise after filming the low-budget adaptation of “On the Road” was an experience she likened to “going back to school” — except she’s hardly an average schoolgirl. As she has discussed time and time again, Stewart continues to be affected by the isolating aspects of worldwide superstardom. “There’s no way to eloquently put this,” the 20-year-old said. “I just can’t go to the mall. It bothers me that I can’t be outside very often. And also to not ever be just ‘some girl’ again. Just being some chick at some place, that’s gone.” Instead, she often stays inside, watching the Food Network and working on various recipes. “You build a perimeter of people that are really important to you,” she explained.

What Lunar Eclipse? A Look At The ‘Eclipse’ Cast’s Top Quotes

We pay homage to the recent astronomical event by paying homage to ‘Eclipse.’ By Jocelyn Vena Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in “Eclipse” Photo: Summit On early Tuesday morning, astronomy freaks had the pleasure of seeing a lunar eclipse take place on the winter solstice for the first time since 1638. It certainly isn’t the first eclipse to take place this year, however. This summer, Hollywood saw a major “Eclipse” when the third film in “The Twilight Saga” was released in June. So, in honor of this week’s historic event, we take a look at some of the castmembers’ best quotes about their own “Eclipse.” Everyone was buzzing about that tent scene and it seems like it delivered. When MTV News spoke to Elizabeth Reaser about the scene, which Taylor Lautner admitted was his favorite , she had a very interesting take on the whole thing. “The tent scene is sort of a three-way — I mean, it’s a chaste three-way, but it is, nonetheless, a three-way,” Reaser said. “So I do think that ups the sexiness factor in this movie, but I don’t know. The first movie, I thought, was intensely sexy, because [Bella and Edward] couldn’t touch, and to watch them fall in love was so sexy. And I love that, in the books, they all have great chemistry. So it’s fun to watch.” Much of the Bella/Jacob love story is chaste, but as Kristen Stewart pointed out around the release of “Eclipse,” she could see why Bella would consider life with Jacob, especially during that epic battle sequence. “There’s a moment right before the big battle happens; Jacob gets emotional and crazy, and he’s gonna try and hurt himself and fight,” Stewart said about one of her favorite scenes. “And [Bella] gets to a point where the only way to save him is to kiss him, and what surprises her is, she’s not only able to do it; she can clearly see that he offers a really desirable path that, before, because she was so obsessed with Edward … she just had to like nothing else. She had no perspective, and so it’s a moment.” Robert Pattinson apparently doesn’t enjoy filming action sequences for the “Twilight” movies, but he said he had less of a problem with the ones in “Eclipse.” “You’re always wearing skinny jeans, a little blazer and a kind of woolen sweater and trying to act like you’re tough,” he laughed. “You just know it’s not going to happen. For some reason, I felt a lot more comfortable with the action stuff this time.” Of course, no “Twilight” movie would be complete without seeing Jacob shirtless, and Lautner admitted that disrobing for this film was a lot easier than in the series’ previous installment. “It’s better when it’s warmer,” Lautner joked . ” ‘Eclipse’ was better than ‘New Moon’ because we filmed it in the summer. But it’s still a little different when I’m the only person on set with a shirt off.” Related Videos ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ Clips ‘Eclipse’ Hits New York City Related Photos ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’
