Kristen Stewart grows with role in “Twilight: New Moon,” releasing on DVD at midnight
At entertainment portal Planet 46, “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart talks about how the blockbuster film saga has changed her life in a feature I wrote after attending the press day last fall for the sequel “The Twilight Saga: New Moon”:
Breaking up is always hard to do, but Kristen Stewart learned on the set of “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” that acting out an “iconic” split from a book adored by millions of fervent fans presents a special set of challenges. The sequel to the vampire hit “Twilight” comes out on DVD on Saturday.
“I know what’s it like to get broken up with, but I don’t know what it’s like to get broken up with by a vampire who I’ve now been physically and chemically altered by. Suddenly, you take an addict, you take whatever they’re addicted to away from them and there’s withdrawal. So, that was the most intimidating scene in the entire movie,” Stewart said at a news conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles.
In “New Moon,” human Bella Swan ( Stewart) is heartbroken when her vampire boyfriend, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), ends their romance over concerns for her safety.
The depressed Bella finds a new chance for love in her burgeoning friendship with Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), only to discover he is a werewolf.
