Kristen Stewart talked to MTV reporters at the Sundance Film Festival and answered some New Moon questions that Twilighters are all buzzing about. She displayed genuine confidence in new director Chris Weitz, concern over the film becoming a living nightmare machine, awe over Taylor Lautner's transformation, and sympathy for Robert Pattinson having to deal with being away from home while dealing with his new fame. Below are some excerpts from the interview:
[...]' Regardless of her excitement, however, the always-frank Stewart admitted that the film's fast turnaround, higher visibility and directorial change still needs to serve as a caution to the "Twilight" crew. "It's such a machine now. All of a sudden, this movie has become [something bigger]," she explained. "With all the expectations — usually, you make a movie and think, 'If it touches people, great; if it doesn't, then you move on to the next one, and no one's personally affected by it.' [But] everyone's really sensitive with any changes right now.
"Everyone needs to be on the same page to make the same movie [as the original 'Twilight' was]," she said of the upcoming "New Moon" shoot. "Or else it will be a very disoriented project."
One of the most dangerous changes in the eyes of many fans has been the swapping of directors, from Catherine Hardwicke to "The Golden Compass" director Chris Weitz. Stewart, however, is one of the few actors from the film who has actually met with Weitz, and she told us that her fears have been put to rest.
"Chris is — on top of him being a really sweet guy — he is entirely devoted," she explained. "And he's very clearly not doing the movie just because it's the next big thing. He really likes it a lot."
Another concern in Stewart's mind over the past few weeks had been which actor will play the pivotal role of Jacob Black — and whether she and this mystery man would be able to establish the same sort of chemistry that she had with Robert Pattinson in "Twilight." Now that Taylor Lautner has been re-cast in the role, however, she's convinced that they can make it work.
"Yeah, absolutely," Stewart said. "I'm so glad they didn't have to find somebody else; we already had him! I didn't understand all the deliberation on [whether to bring him back]. But now that it's set, we can all rest.
"He's really buff!" she exclaimed of Lautner, who's packed on nearly 30 pounds of muscle so far to prepare for Jacob's werewolf growth spurt. "He definitely is. It took him a lot of time."
And although she may be with Jacob for much of the upcoming film, Bella could never forget her Edward. So, appropriately enough, the famous-since-she-was-12 actress was also eager to heap some praise on Robert Pattinson — who has spent the past three months dealing with an onslaught of paparazzi, wild fans and rapidly increasing fame unlike anything Hollywood has seen in quite some time.
"I think he's OK," KStew said of RPattz. "He's back in London now, which makes it easier for him. It's funny. It only affects you when you come to something like [Sundance Film Festival]. And then, other than that, he's totally the same guy he always was." '
In a separate interview Robert Pattinson amidst that he is homesick admits all of the new wave of obsessive followers. While not planning on permanently settling in Los Angeles, he has had to rent an apartment due to his schedule for New Moon and he terribly misses his companion dog, Patty. Dealing with his new fame is a slight challenge for the somewhat shy introvert and it seems to be almost overwhelming:
' "I miss the smell of London ... I almost cried because I missed it so much. And I miss my dog [Patty, a female West Highland white terrier]," so he reveals, adding, "I miss being able to go for a walk."
Speaking of his current residence, Pattinson says he stays in Los Angeles, but has not yet decided to permanently settle in the city. "I haven't moved to L.A. for good. I live in a rented apartment where all of the furniture is rented," he openly admits.'
