Budding 'Twilight' heartthrob Robert Pattinson and bad vamp Rachelle Lefevre talk about their favorite movie vampires, kissing mortals (with tongue), and glittering diamond skin.
Premiere met with Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Rachelle Lefevre at Comic-Con in San Diego. Pattinson plays the lead character in Twilight, sensitive vegetarian vampire Edward Cullen who's desperately in love with the mortal Bella (Kristen Stewart). Rachelle Lefevre plays Victoria, an evil vamp who's on a quest to stamp out Edward and Bella's love (and Bella herself). Check out what they had to say about playing vampires, making out with humans, action figures, and the craziness of the Twilight phenomenon.
Tell us who you play in the film.
Robert Pattinson: I play Edward Cullen in Twilight, who's a semi-reluctant vampire. [He's] 108 years old, maybe 109 this year, and he's stuck in the body of a 17-year-old school kid pretending to be a human and then he meets... well, for pretty much 100 years he's wanted to either die or become a human again, and then he meets what becomes the love of his life, a mortal girl called Bella and he falls in love with her. The story is the trials and tribulations which occur when a vampire falls in love with a normal girl who he wants to kill all the time.
Have people learned nothing from Highlander? You can't fall in love with a mortal!
RP: It's true. No, I mean, it's arguable. Essentially, it's the same thing. Edward knows that he is a vampire and that he will always be and that she will always be a mortal until she's dead. There's not a huge amount he can do about it, but it's essentially a pretty happy situation at the end, I think.
Did you read the books?
RP: Before the movie? I hadn't, no. I read them after my screen test, and I'd never even heard of them before. Then when we were doing the movie, it kind of got exponentially bigger and bigger and bigger, and then everybody knew about it. It was kind of strange.
Did you do a lot of research on vampires?
RP: Not on vampires, really. I mean, I guess it's kind of easy to make it [a] cliché, because there are so many hundreds of thousands of vampire movies, and also in the story, they're not really conventional vampires. They don't look like vampires, and they don't die in the sun. It's kind of every little characteristic of vampires is just abandoned, so I was trying to do it in as basic a way as possible. You just get bitten by somebody and then you're a vampire and then you live forever, and you are super strong and stuff and you don't really know what happened.
