Taylor Lautner talks about the global hysteria over New Moon and how it has changed his life. Taylor talks about his celebrity fan and takes questions from the audience.
The movie "Twilight", which has won wide acclaim among teenagers in Europe and America, now is available in the Chinese mainland. And it's expected to be a major contender in the New Year Season fray.
"Twilight" is a 2008 romantic-fantasy movie directed by Catherine Hardwicke and based on the novel of the same name by Stephenie Mayer. The focus of the film is on the development of a personal relationship between human teenager Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen, and the subsequent efforts of Cullen and his family to keep the girl safe from hostile vampires.
Since its North American release last November, "Twilight" has been a smash hit at the box-office, grossing over 35-million US dollars on its opening day. According to its producer, the movie took nearly three years to develop, partly because its writer created a screen adaptation that is drastically different from the novel. Currently the sequel titled "New Moon" is showing in North America.
Now imported into China as a strong contender for the New Year season, "Twilight" is expected to create a similar sensation among Chinese teenagers.
The success of "Twilight" has been attributed to the reputation of the novel series of the same title. The volumes penned by Stephenie Meyer have reached the top of bestseller lists in dozens of countries. So far the novels have sold over 80-million copies in 40 countries across the world.
To prepare the Chinese audience for the story, the films promoter has released a handbook providing some background of the production.

Jackson Rathbone a.k.a Jasper Hale in Clive Barker's Dread.
“Rathbone describes Dread as a Kinsey-esque study of fear. “It has those base elements: What are you afraid of? Why are those urban legends urban legends? Why are they told over and over again? Because, those ideas are scary. There have been many documented cases of a complete stranger murdering many people and getting away with it and no one ever knowing why. It’s very rare that you’ll find a film or a piece of literature that delves into the mind of someone that’s been affected by that and what they do to get over it. We all have something in our lives that causes that dread, that inspired it and that’s kind of what we’re trying to get to the root of in this film. Barker’s story did it with such lyrical prose. It’s just beautiful and the imagery is haunting, it really is. We filmed scenes that just made a lot of people sick. Not just because of the gruesome element, but the idea of those situations where you’re like, ‘Yeah, if I was in that situation what would I do?’ And you know what you do a lot of times and you just wouldn’t ever want to think about it.”
Anna Kendrick a.k.a Jessica in Up In The Air
“Q: What did you enjoy most about your character, Natalie?
Anna: I love that she’s unapologetically ambitious. I don’t have that and I wouldn’t really want that for myself, but I admire it so much, in her. I love that she’s independent and strong. I know that the audience really falls for her, after she completely melts down, and I love her even when she’s in her bratty mode. There was almost a desire for me to not show as much as Jason [Reitman] wanted me to show, and keep her protected and not give as much away because I feel protective of her and I wanted her to maintain her dignity. I love her, even when she’s a nightmare… I think she’s a control freak, and I think I’m a control freak, but we react to being out of our element in very different ways. I get more awkward and I fumble and things immediately fall apart. And, Natalie’s rigidity and self-awareness increases exponentially, when she feels out of control. She tries to cling to anything that she can control or keep orderly, whether it’s her hair or her computer. It makes for some very interesting comedy.”

In latest issue of Rolling Stone cover, Taylor Lautner admits, "I feel like I have lived as Jacob" and how his wild ride from martial arts star to famous teen wolf in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga. Taylor Lautner reveals how he went from a skinny martial arts kid to starring in the blockbuster Twilight franchise.
Don't you think that when some fans see New Moon, they may be disappointed, because you're kind of the villain in a way.
I have some pretty passionate team Jacob fans [laughs].
Right. But you're also the obstacle getting in the way of the great romance between Bella and Edward.
I can see where you're coming from. The thing is, Jacob and Edward are two completely different guys. They are opposites. And it's just what kind of girl you are. If you like that more mysterious, dangerous type, then that's one guy. I personally love Jacob and Bella's relationship, and how they began as friends. They are so much more open, and can tell each other anything. And Bella and Edward's relationship, it's always tense. It's always serious. But Jacob and Bella's friendship starts growing stronger and stronger and you just wonder if they can go past friends. It looks like that at some points.
But when your character hangs up on Edward in New Moon, it sets off the whole chain of events that almost lead to a major tragedy. That's something a villain would do.
Yes. that is part of Jacob's character. He can't really control himself. When he gets mad, he gets mad. And all Jacob has on his mind is on Bella. That's who he cares for. That's who he loves. If somebody gets in his way, it's not good. And he will explode. So I guess you could see that either way.
And then Bella is always lying to Edward so she can see you. This is supposed to be like true love forever, so why can't she just be honest?
You know, she's serious with Edward and then she meets best friend Jacob. She gets confused.
But you're not really her friend. You have an agenda with her, and you're always making snide comments about Edward.
If I was Jacob, and I feel like I have lived as him, it gets so annoying. Because she's in the car with you one moment, about ready to kiss you and then she leaves and is with Edward. And then she's back with you, you know.
Then she even says she loves you.
That's why Eclipse was actually my favorite of the series. It's the height of the love triangle. I think it's going to be good. That tent scene is the biggest thing possible. She's cold and I'm hot, so [since vampires are cold], are you going to let me crawl in the sleeping bag with her, or are you just going to let her die?
That's what I mean. Why don't you be like, "You guys stay there. I will get you an extra blanket so you can stay warm?" Or, "I'll turn into a wolf and go skin some animals and make you a blanket."
No, no, no. Oh my.
That said, I understand the book's appeal: it's a great fantasy for someone to have two powerful good-looking guys who can have anybody fighting over her. It's a classic romance, with fangs and fur heightening it.
Definitely. And I admit proudly that I enjoyed the series. I was not a book reader at all. But then when I read them, they hook you. I feel like each book, and more so the movies, are just getting more exciting and better and better. With New Moon, you know, it's not just the love story between these two anymore. Now there are three people, and it's dangerous.
But when you're reading the book, aren't you sometimes thinking, "Come on, when is there going to be some action?"
It's a tease.
Why do you think Jacob and Edward likes Bella so much?
Because she's different, meaning she's more of the plain Jane type. You know, she's not fake. I know that attracts me too. Just somebody who is down to earth and themselves. I mean, apparently Edward likes her smell. But Jacob's relationship with her is — Jacob has just always liked her. They used to be friends because their fathers are best friends. And he's just always had a crush on her since he was a kid. Now they are getting to that stage where things can start
What do you think of the whole part about Jacob's "brother" imprinting on a two-year-old and falling in love with her, then keeping her around until she's of proper age? Isn't that a little weird?
Yeah, yeah. Let's not go there.
