The family that slays together, stays together.
At least that’s the case for the Cullen brood.
In “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” which hits theaters June 30, Seattle is ravaged by a series of killings caused by an army of newborn vampires controlled by revenge-seeking bloodsucker Victoria. To combat the threat against Bella ( Kristen Stewart) in this third installment of the franchise, the Cullens must band together and join forces with their sworn enemies, the wolf pack.
“The whole family is in a vulnerable position because of the love we have for Bella,” said Elizabeth Reaser, who plays matriarch Esme Cullen. “If she’s not OK, we’re not OK.”
In the past, we’ve seen the clan hit baseballs so hard that they can play only in a thunder storm, to block out the sound. And we’ve watched the buttoned-up human imposters welcome Bella into their home as the human girlfriend of one of their own — the handsome Edward.
“This time around, you get to see their true vampire-ness,” said Peter Facinelli, who plays head vampire Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the series based on the bestselling books by Stephenie Meyer.
What can we expect from the pale-faced Cullen family (which includes the Hale siblings) this go around? Here’s what the actors say audiences can expect from the story and their characters:
Robert Pattinson (as Edward Cullen): Snagging a phone interview with the brooding dreamboat — who was overseas shooting his latest film, “Bel Ami” — proved difficult. So what can we expect from the lovesick Edward? He promises to love Bella “every moment of forever,” as the trailer reveals. He’s still hesitant about her becoming a vampire. He’s determined to protect her from Victoria. And he’s vying with Jacob for her affections. Oh, the life of an antique teenage vampire.

Golden Girl Betty White says she is too busy to do a nude scene with Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson who is 65 years her junior.
But the 88-year-old actress says she should write to the 23-year-old Brit for reportedly calling her the sexiest woman in the US.
‘I should write him a thank you note,’ White tells the New York Post.
When asked if she would do a nude scene with the heart-throb though, White squashed the idea.
‘No, sorry. I wouldn’t,’ she says. ‘There really isn’t much spare time these days.’
TV veteran White will guest host US TV show Saturday Night Live on May 8 after fans launched an internet campaign requesting that she appear.
‘I don’t understand it all,’ White says. ‘I’m the luckiest old broad on two feet.’
White, who co-starred alongside Sandra Bullock in The Proposal last year, is in hot demand of late, despite nearing 90.
The Saturday Night Live guest spot is just the latest in a string of recent projects that includes her new TV series Hot In Cleveland.
Speaking about her upcoming schedule she says: ‘I do the show Saturday night. Sunday I fly back to California and Monday I start the new series I’m doing for TV Land.’
The demanding commitments won’t slow her down though, White insists.
‘I think energy builds on energy,’ she says. ‘I love the business I’m in and the more you do, the more it works.’

The physical role included a fight scene with Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward.
Pattinson is a heartthrob to Twilight fans the world over, but Cudmore said the handsome actor was keen to do as much of his own stunt work as possible.
“Rob’s a great guy, he’s really game for anything,” Cudmore said.
“He was nervous at first, because he was like, `you know I’m not the most athletic guy out there, I don’t think I’m going to be able to do this’.
“After rehearsing for a few hours he was really, really having a good time with it. He had a blast.”

But despite the fansites, wiki-entries, hype and teen-screamers, Meraz is more than happy to leave the hysteria frontline action to Twilight’s pasty Brit heart throb Robert Pattinson, who plays the 104-year-old Edward Cullen.
“Rob’s much better at it than I am,” says Meraz. “While it’s all very flattering, it’s not something that I’d like to experience every day.”

– I HATE TO FLIRT!
He has never flirted with a girl, and he’s not very romantic. But we love the it-boy Robert Pattinson (23) anyway.
– Hi! Robert yawns loudly.
Tired or what? I ask.
– Hehe, I’m sorry. I’ll shake off my tiredness. It’s my first day off in a long time, the hunk answers.
Robert wears a brown wool jumper, black trousers, sneakers and a caps when we meet him at The Dorchester Hotel in London. With a huge beard and messy, half long hair, it’s difficult to imagine Robert as the clean shaved vampire Edward Cullen. But he still looks handsome when he takes a sip from a bottle of Cola Light that stands in front of him at the table.
The last years have passed by fast for the English man. Right after he was done filming Twilight, he started shooting the film Remember Me, which arrives in cinemas soon. To be the new it-boy both in Hollywood and other places in the world takes a lot of energy from the 23-year old. Sometimes, it would’ve been good not to be recognised everywhere.
If you had 24 hours when no one recognised oyu, what would you have done?
– Nothing special, really. It’s a little bit weird, because I’ve been in London for a while now, and I can walk around and live my life as usual, something I didn’t think would work. In the USA it doesn’t work, though.
Maybe it’s because of the beard?
– Yes, I think that might be a reason.
Why did you grow a beard?
– I want to try to go to an audition without anyone knowing who I am, and see what happens. But I don’t think they’ll let me keep it in my next movie anyway…
ROBERT IS PREGNANT!
With the Twilight hysteria in mind, Robert now focuses on doing other movies in his career. These days, it’s his new movie Remember Me that he’s trying to promote. It’s a movie where Robert plays the angsty teenager, Tyler, who’s in deep sorrow after his brother’s suicide, and who’s at a point in life where nothing happens.
What attracts you about playing a teenager with problems?
– Usually when I read a script it’s about an innocent, virginual boy who goes through and inner experience, and it always ends with a happy ending. But Tyler, on the other hand, I feel he was different. He was so lost. Therefore, the role gave me more room, and I couldn’t compare the movie to something I’d seen before, Robert says.
Do you recognise something about yourself in Tyler?
– I wish I could. Tyler has that ability that he doesn’t worry about the consecueces about things because he has so little to loose. But I can’t live the way he does. I can’t say something completely random because it will haunt me in months afterwards. Because of that, I never try to say anything controversial.
But the press still manages to find a lot of information about you. What is the worst thing you’ve ever read about youself?
– I especially remember one time when someone claimed I was pregnant. It said on the cover of an Australian magazine. It was a little weird.
LOVES VINTAGE AND MARC JACOBS
Robert’s goal wasn’t to become famous, and he has never had a big dream of becoming it. But over night he went from being an unknown acor to a sex symbol for a bunch of girls. To keep his feet on the ground with such huge success, can be difficult.
What’s your key to relax after becoming an idol for a lot of people over the night?
– I think that’s the reason. The people who loose their minds, have fought to become famous their whole lives. And when they reach the top, they thinks “Yes, I deserve this!”. Many people appreciates fame so much, it’s scary.
For many people, a status as a celebrity involves a change in their style. Robert, on the other hand, looks very normal and relaxed in his clothes.
What kind of clothes do you like to shop?
– I like second hand very much. I love vintage, and I wish I could shop in vintage stores the whole time. But because a lot of paparazzis follows me around, it can be difficult.
What do you usually wear at finer events?
– I use a lot of Marc Jacobs. I almost always use his clothes on premieres because I feel it fits me, and I can’t always buy something new.

Film has an interview with Melissa Rosenberg where she discusses writing each of the Twilight movies, Dexter, and writing to meet a rating.
“LL: If an adaptation felt to you like an R rating, but the studio wanted you to bring it in at a PG-13, would that be doable?
MR: Oh yeah. It’s completely doable. You don’t sacrifice story by cutting language. Nor do you sacrifice story by showing less blood or gore, or whatever it is that’s bringing you to an R rating. It doesn’t hurt it. When Dexter was aired on CBS they had to re-cut some of it for network television and all they had to do was cut some language. There’s more blood and gore in an episode of C.S.I., though of course Dexter is more disturbing. Not because of what you see, but because of what’s implied. I don’t think you take away from suspense or character by altering a few things like that.
LL: Having read Breaking Dawn, where things get ratcheted up a notch, do you still go for that PG-13 rating?
MR: Oh yeah, absolutely. That’s your audience. In this series you don’t sacrifice anything. There are some movies that wouldn’t play at PG-13, like The Hangover, but this is just not one of them for me. Again, if you’re capturing character, emotion, and emotional journey, you’re OK.”
Read the full interview here.
One thing that is not covered in the article is an issue that for whatever reason repetitively comes up. Breaking Dawn will not go to screen with a rated R rating because contractually it can’t. It would have to be recut to get a PG-13. Part of the deal for Summit to have the rights to the film is no more than a PG-13. You can still have blood and guts (ER’s final season anyone), and steamy romance (Remember Me and the Notebook) without broaching the R-rating.
