New Moon Drama ‘Literally Kills You’

Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner talked to MTV about filming their scenes in November’s The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and they both still sound a little damaged from all the heartbreak the film deals with:

Stewart: [Bella and Jacob are] light; they actually have fun with each other. Edward and Bella are always so strange, you know? … Everything in our movie, it’s such a heightened version of reality. It’s like, people don’t just break up [in the "Twilight" films] — they break up and it literally kills you. It’s not like you just say, “Oh, I’m really depressed and crying.” Everything is supposed to be a fantasy version of that. So I always had a really hard time figuring out, “Am I doing enough? Do I look like I’m going to die?”

Lautner: It is very complicated. There’s a lot of heartbreak, there’s a lot of things going on. Edward leaves at the beginning, she goes into this depression, I come to try and bring her out of it. Then I go through my own issues, and then she leaves me. It’s all over the place, and there’s a lot going on, and there’s many of those scenes that you described.
