While you might not be able to visit the Vancouver set of Eclipse while Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are hard at work, don’t worry — OK!’s got you covered with all the best behind-the-scenes secrets from the set!
1. Kristen kisses Rob — then laughs!
Not to ruin the illusion, but after Rob and Kristen, who play Edward and Bella, shoot their big kissing scenes, they break out laughing — then go chain-smoke. “Kristen’s the first to laugh, cracking up like a schoolgirl,” an on-set source tells OK!. On the other hand, the passionate Bella-Jacob kissing scene in Eclipse is serious business. Author Stephenie Meyer insists it be faithful to the book. During that one kissing scene, “Taylor Lautner was way into it,” the insider says. “He didn’t break character after director David Slade yelled, ‘Cut!’ ”
2. Competition in the weight room
Cast members spend hours in the gym (the vamps need upper-body strength for flight scenes; the wolf pack have to show off their abs). Chaske Spencer, who plays wolf-pack leader Sam Uley, charts Rob’s reps. “Chaske keeps track of how much weight Rob lifts,” castmate Julia Jones (Leah Clearwater) tells OK!, “and, if he can, tries to beat him!”
Peter Facinelli is a 'Twilight' doctor who is in demand
He has been acting for years, but wasn't prepared for the movie series' rabid fandom.
Peter Facinelli strolled into a Los Angeles television studio on a recent Saturday morning for another "Twilight"-related appearance. But you wouldn't know he was part of a worldwide phenomenon. He wasn't flanked on either side by brawny Hollywood-standard security guards. And there were no screaming "Twi-hards" lurking nearby. Just Peter and his backpack. And he prefers it that way.
As "New Moon," the latest installment in the massively successful "Twilight" saga, continues its reign in theaters -- it has grossed more than $230 million since its Nov. 20 release -- Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen, the patriarch of the Cullen clan, still finds the frenzy a little daunting.
"There's not many movies -- I can't even think of five -- that people would camp out for," Facinelli, 36, said before going in front of the camera. "It can be overwhelming. I feel very fortunate to be a part of something like that. Not many actors can say that."
