The London Free Press posted an interview with Rachelle Lefevre where she discusses rumours around Rob & Kristen (and their "love child" ha!) as well as director changes and much more.

"They have fantastic chemistry together on-screen and you know that's the kind of thing that becomes the source of rumours," Lefevre says.

"People want them to be together. People would love to hear that -- that they fell in love on the set and so they read that into everything they see.

"But all I've seen are two people who have beautiful chemistry on-screen and are bonded. Kristen, before Twilight, already had a huge resume and had worked with some heavy hitters, but she had also flown under the radar.

"And Rob, he was in Harry Potter (and the Goblet of Fire), so he had some experience with fame, but it was nothing remotely like this. So when two people go through that experience together -- the fandom and everything -- it's going to bond them."



This has been said time and time again and seems to be true. When you are tossed into this new world of crazy-fandom-success.... you tend to bond and share that experience... if there's more to it than that, they'll let us know if they want to... right?

Also regarding the director switch:

Usually when a film succeeds, a studio clings to its creator. But in the case of New Moon, Catherine Hardwicke is out, replaced by Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass).

"It could have been bad," Lefevre admits. "But I think because Harry Potter went through it first to their benefit, we were like, 'The Potter kids went through a director shift and they were OK, so we'll be OK, too.'

"And we were. Chris came in with such a clear idea of what the movie was. And he paid respect to what had come before -- so it was kind of seamless."

A third transition will happen later this year in Vancouver when another director, David Slade (30 Days of Night), takes the reins of the next sequel Eclipse.

"It's perfect timing for David because Eclipse is darker than the other two. There's more action. It's not a horror movie, but it is darker."


I am so excited about David Slade directing, I have said many times before how he is so much "darker" and even known for his gore and rawness... I think it will play out beutifully for Eclipse, just has Chris Weitz and his magical abilities will do wonders for New Moon...
