By Louisine Frelinghuysen
 Ashley Greene, 21, plays Alice Cullen, the adopted daughter of Carlisle and Esme Cullen. Alice’s visions of the future lead her to the Cullen family and her powers play a crucial role in protecting Bella Swan. Greene has appearances on the television shows Crossing Jordan, Desire, and Shark.
VF Daily: Had you read the Twilight books before getting the script?
Ashley Greene: When I was going to audition, I actually went out and got the first book and read it before the first meeting. I read it in a day and a half, and then I read the second and third. I’m finishing up the fourth so I can have it done before the movie comes out.
Which book in the series is your favorite?
I liked the first one. I think that it was my favorite, which is funny because Alice’s part gets larger and larger in the second and third books. The fourth one is very interesting and different. It’s turning out to be really cool.

By Adrienne Gaffney
 Taylor Lautner, 16, plays Jacob Black, the teenage son of Billy Black, an elder of the Quileute Indian tribe [of which Black is a part]. Lautner was the title role in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D, and now stars as Christian Slater’s son in the TV series My Own Worst Enemy.
VF Daily: Had you read the Twilight books before getting the script?
Taylor Lautner: Actually, before I was cast I hadn’t even heard of Twilight. So then when I was actually cast I did my research, and I was like, “Oh, what am I getting myself into?” I’m just excited to be a part of it now.
What did you do to prepare for your role?
Before I went up to Portland, I did some research on the Quileute tribe. I set up a meeting with some real Quileute tribal members in Portland and I got to meet and talk with them. To my surprise, I learned that they are just like me. What they love is sports and girls.

Q&A: Twilight’s Rachelle Lefevre

Vanity Fair
By Cassandra Handley
 Rachelle Lefevre, 29, plays Victoria, a fiery, feline-esque vampire who assists her lover and leader, James, in hunting Bella Swan. Lefevre has also been seen this year in bit parts on prime-time television shows such as Swingtown, Boston Legal, and Life on Mars.
VF Daily: Had you read the “Twilight” books before getting the script?
Rachelle Lefevre: I hadn’t. I heard about the audition first, and all I saw for the audition was the appointment sheet. It had a little breakdown on it, and I can’t remember exactly what it said, but it was something along the lines of “Victoria: fiery, red-haired, evil, nomadic vampire.” And I was like, I have to play this part. So I ran right out to the bookstore and I bought Twilight. I read it in two and a half days. I was absolutely hooked.
What did you do to prepare for your role?
I read all three books available at the time, got as much information from the books as I could about Victoria, and then sat down and put together a fake backstory on who she was before she was a vampire. I realized that vampires are unique because they are humans first and they were not born monsters. So I thought, How do I bring that kind of humanness and a kind of humanity into playing a vampire? As a result, when I found myself playing the “evil” part, I could not look at her as a monster. I can’t play a character that I am judging. She clearly doesn’t see herself as evil, so what is it about her? What came of this thought process was that she is a kind of menace.

Q&A: Twilight’s Kellan Lutz

By Kate Ahlborn
 Kellan Lutz, 23, plays Emmett Cullen, the tall and intimidating vampire husband of Rosalie and adoptive brother of Edward. Lutz’s credits include HBO’s Generation Kill and this year’s revival of 90210.
VF Daily: Had you read the ”Twilight„ books before getting the script?
Kellan Lutz: I hadn’t. I didn’t even know there was a book series. I read the script while I was in Africa and fell in love with it. I loved the vampire story. It felt so new and fresh, not the typical “lets kill the vampire with a pitchfork” idea. It was really unique. They first sent me out for Edward’s role, and as much as I would have loved to be the lead, it wasn’t possible for me to fly back from Africa where I was shooting and audition as many times as they would have needed me to. So I read Emmett and he seemed so cool. Once I was cast, I was flown out to Oregon to start shooting, and my friend [and cast mate] Ashley Greene had all of the books. She asked me if I had read the books, and I was like, “Ha ha, you’re joking, there are no books.” So she gave them to me and I did my homework, I read all three of them. The fourth wasn’t out yet.

By Louisine Frelinghuysen
 Jackson Rathbone, 23, plays Jasper Cullen, Alice’s vampire love, who has a strong conscience. Rathbone had the lead role on the television series Beautiful People and a part on The O.C.
VF Daily: Had you read the Twilight books before getting the script?
Jackson Rathbone: No, but many friends of mine had and filled me in on the story. Then I read Twilight and I saw what all the fuss was about. Once I landed the role of Jasper, all my cousins wrote me—I have a huge family—and told me how excited they were that I was in the movie because they loved the books so much.
What did you do to prepare for your role?
I ate my steaks blood rare.

Q&A: Twilight’s Elizabeth Reaser

Vanity Fair
By Adrienne Gaffney
 Elizabeth Reaser, 33, plays Esme Cullen, the wife of Dr. Carlisle Cullen and the adoptive mother to Edward and his vampire siblings. Carlisle turned her into a vampire when she tried to kill herself after losing her son. Reaser’s breakout performance was as Jane Doe, the mystery patient in Grey’s Anatomy, and she starred in the now defunct The Ex-List.
VF Daily: Had you read the “Twilight” books before getting the script?
Elizabeth Reaser: I had never heard of the books before the audition. In fact, Catherine Hardwicke [the director] told me in the audition that it was a book because I was like, “What the hell is going on here?”
What do you make of the books?
I think the books are insanely popular because Stephenie is a great storyteller. And it’s romantic wish fulfillment.

Q&A: Twilight’s Nikki Reed
07 Nov 2008 | Comments (0) |
Vanity Fair
By Kate Ahlborn
 Nikki Reed, 20, plays Rosalie Hale, the sublimely beautiful vampire who kept her last name after being adopted by the Cullen family. She dislikes Bella and disapproves of her relationship with Edward. Reed’s past film credits include Thirteen, which she co-wrote and starred in, and Lords of Dogtown.
VF Daily: Had you read the Twilight books before getting the script?
Nikki Reed: No. I got a phone call about Twilight months before the film was going to be made and there was very little hype about the idea, at least in my world. I hadn’t heard of the books, to be perfectly honest. I read the three books that were available when we were in rehearsal in Portland. This script revolves around Kristen Stewart [Bella] and Rob Pattinson’s [Edward] characters, so the rest of us who wanted to give the movie a deeper feel had to read the books. Rosalie’s character doesn’t really get fleshed out until the third book, so I had to read it to know where she was coming from and to make her more than just background.
