Carlisle Cullen, Twilight
Character of the Week
Rosalie Lillian Hale
(born 1915 in Rochester, New York) is a member of the Olympic coven.
She is the wife of Emmett Cullen and the adoptive daughter of Carlisle and Esme Cullen, as well as the adoptive sister of Jasper Hale (in Forks, she and Jasper pretend to be twins), Alice, and Edward Cullen.
Rosalie is the adoptive sister-in-law of Bella Swan and adoptive aunt of Renesmee Cullen, as well as the ex-fiancée of Royce King II.
Στο κατώφλι µιας νέας εποχής για τη Ροδεσία, η Μάντριγκαλ, έχοντας χάσει τον άντρα της λίγες µονάχα ώρες µετά τον γάµο τους, θρήνησε βαθιά την απώλειά του και αποφάσισε να ζήσει µε τη θύµησή του. Όµως δεν φαντάστηκε ποτέ πως θα της ζητούσαν να πάρει τη θέση της συζύγου του βασιλιά.
Ο βασιλιάς Έντουαρντ, αφού γνώρισε την απόλυτη ευτυχία δίπλα στη γυναίκα που λάτρεψε όσο καµία, την Άµπερλιν, δέχτηκε το σκληρότερο χτύπηµα της µοίρας όταν εκείνη πέθανε πριν προλάβει να φέρει στον κόσµο το παιδί τους. Ωστόσο, προκειµένου ν' ανταποκριθεί στα βασιλικά του καθήκοντα και να χαρίσει έναν διάδοχο στη Ροδεσία, είναι υποχρεωµένος να παντρευτεί ξανά και απ' όλες τις υποψήφιες επιλέγει τη Μάντριγκαλ.
Μήπως όµως το όνοµα της νέας του συζύγου κουβαλά µια σκοτεινή µοίρα; Άραγε υπάρχει ελπίδα να αλλάξει το πεπρωµένο; Θα καταφέρει η Μάντριγκαλ να ξυπνήσει την αγάπη στην καρδιά του άντρα και βασιλιά της; Κι εκείνος θα είναι σε θέση να αναγνωρίσει και να αποδεχτεί τα αισθήµατά του πριν χάσει τα πάντα για άλλη µια φορά;
The long road came to an end with the world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, and now the L.A. premiere at the AFI Film Fest 2012 on Saturday, Nov. 3, at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. In one of the most star-heavy events at the festival, Kristen Stewart, Garrett Hedlund, Amy Adams and Salles all attended.
Stewart, who will wrap up her duties as the lead in the Twilight film series with the release of the final film this month, plays the free-spirited MaryLou in On the Road.
“We were allowed to know so much about the people who stood behind the characters,” the actress, wearing a black and white Balenciaga jumpsuit, told The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet before the premiere.
While Stewart walked the red carpet solo on Saturday, she was joined by her Twilight co-star (and current beau) Robert Pattinson at the AFI Fest afterparty at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. They mingled with friends and Stewart’s co-stars around a large fire pit near the pool area.
Stewart says that Salles enrolled the main actors in a four-week “beatnik bootcamp” of rehearsals before shooting the film. Stewart’s character in the book was based on Kerouac’s friend Luanne Henderson, and Stewart got to spend a lot of time talking to Henderson’s daughter while researching the role.
“We were allowed to know things about her that people do not know,” she tells THR. “I think as soon as you know the people who inspired those characters, everything makes so much more sense. It’s not the easiest thing to live that life. It takes a really particular person to carry that out.”
Stewart says she first read the book when she was 14 or 15, and it’s been a pivotal piece of literature in her life.
“She definitely helped me break down a few walls,” Stewart said of playing MaryLou. “But I think that project actually started when I read the book.”
“At the time, there was no way I could ever possibly imagine that I could play a part like that,” she added. “I thought that the characters in On the Road were people I wanted to be able to find in my own life. I wanted to find people who really stirred me up and kept me moving and kept me pushing. And she’s that type of that person."
INTERVIEW WITH WONDERWALL MSN
A rekindled romance with Robert Pattinson has done wonders for Kristen Stewart, who shined bright on the red carpet at the AFI Fest screening of "On the Road" presented by Audi at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Calif., on Nov. 3. The 22-year-old actress showed off her toned midriff in a cleavage-baring Balenciaga pantsuit and black Christian Louboutin heels, and said she knew the outfit would turn heads.
"The first time I saw this thing, my jaw kind of hit the floor," Stewart told Wonderwall. "I've never seen anything like it."
Stewart was joined at the event by co-stars Garrett Hedlund and Amy Adams, and by Pattinson, who snuck into the after-party at the Roosevelt Hotel with Stewart after the two ate together at Public Kitchen while the film was running. During the party Pattinson chatted with friends, while Stewart talked to Adams and others from the film.
"On the Road" was a special film for Stewart, who found herself very connected to LuAnne Henderson, the real-life Marylou whom Stewart plays in the film.
"To be so aware of yourself and what you want, yet be so unaware of what other people think of you? You can have so much, you can live so rich," Stewart said of Henderson. "It's hard to explain, it's so ridiculous. So as soon as I read that, I thought I should find people like that in life so I can run after them."
As for her own road trip, Stewart says there are only a select few she'd travel with, but when they hit the road they'd be baggage free.
"I think it all depends on who you're with," she said. "There would only be a handful of people I would go [on a road trip with]. My circle is small. But if you have nothing it makes it more fun because you have to go find it.
When it comes to movie roles, Kristen Stewart gets the best of both worlds. When she's not taking on box office juggernauts like The Twilight Saga or Snow White and the Huntsman, she's biting into meaty roles in indies like Welcome to the Rileys, The Runaways and now On the Road.
So does Bella Swan herself ever want to just kick back and do a rom-com?
"Um, I guess so," Kristen told us at the AFI special screening of On the Road. "I don't know what I want to do until it's right in front of me. I feel like if I knew what story I wanted to tell, I'd be directing it. I don't think very tactfully."
The actress, who killed on the carpet in a black and white Balenciaga number, continued, "It takes such a particular thing to want to play a part. It's a really very strange thing to do, to pretend to be someone else and let other people watch you do it. They need to feel like real people, they need to feel like somebody that you need to be responsible for. So when I see that, I'm down."
Something she clearly saw in On the Road's free-spirited Marylou: "She was the type of person that was like a bottomless pit. You couldn't take too much, she was always getting just as much back from you," K.Stew explained to us. "That's a really rare person. She wasn't special because she was ahead of her time and it was a very conservative era, I think even now you'd be blown away by her."
And Kristen confesses that the timing of the movie couldn't have been more perfect. "Getting to know her and getting to know myself over the years," she said. "You know, I started thinking about this when I was like 17 and I ultimately did it when I was 20, it's good that those few years past."
She filled us in, "When you have the sense that you really cannot mess anything up, that [Salles] wants to see you mess up and that's actually what he would prefer…I think it's so much more interesting to watch somebody discover something rather than package it up and deliver it to you."
"It's weird, as soon as that weight [of Twilight] is lifted, you go, 'God! Can I have a little bit back?'" she told E! News at the On the Road premiere Sunday
"Twilight is a really phenomenal thing," she added, smiling at cheering fans across the street.
But as much as she loves vampires, vagabonds are pretty cool, too. "When I read [On the Road] for the first time, I was so young," she said. "I was like 15 years old—14 possibly. It changed me. For the rest of my life I will try and find those people that push you…Every character you want to like run after. I'm not necessarily that type of person, so I need to find people like that."
But at the end of a packed promotional tour (between Breaking Dawn and On the Road, K.Stew's been one busy lady), how does this 22-year-old girl relax? "It's pretty easy," she said. "Take the shoes off. It's kind of a done deal."
Γνώμη μου είναι ότι είναι το φώς. Ήταν χρονικά πιεσμένη, τα βιντεάκια είναι της προηγούμενης ημέρας & έτρεχε όλη μέρα με τις συνεντεύξεις. Πότε πρόλαβε να τα βάψει?
Η χθεσινή συνέντευξη στον Jay Leno & πολλές φωτογραφίες εδώ
Since her career rocketed into the stratosphere with the first “Twilight” film in 2008, Stewart has frequently been portrayed in the media as serious or sullen, intensely private and uncomfortable with giving interviews. But spend a few minutes with the 22-year-old, and it becomes apparent that nothing could be further from the truth. Seated in the corner of a Beverly Hills hotel restaurant in a simple white T-shirt and a baseball cap just days before the release of the final “Twilight” installment, “Breaking Dawn: Part 2,” Stewart seems at complete ease. She is thoughtful and warm; despite having only met once in passing six weeks earlier, she instantly recognizes and greets her interviewer with a friendly hug. She’s got a sharp sense of humor. And, for the record, “I actually like giving interviews!” She elaborates, “Given that I can talk to a hundred or more people at a press junket, at some point there is going to be something brought up that makes me see things I never considered. It’s fascinating to talk to so many people about one of the most important things in your life.”
Stewart is also an actor, and a good one at that, a fact that seems to get lost in all the media attention devoted to her personal life. But before “Twilight,” her talent was obvious to the likes of David Fincher, who cast Stewart at age 10 to play Jodie Foster’s daughter in “Panic Room,” and Sean Penn, who handpicked her to appear in his 2007 film “Into the Wild.” There are also her acclaimed turns in the indies “Speak” and as a young woman with a neurological disorder in 2007’s “The Cake Eaters,” a performance so convincing people would always ask director Mary Stuart Masterson where she had found an actor with the actual disease. Next month will see Stewart in one of her most challenging roles to date, as 16-year-old free spirit Marylou in “On the Road,” director Walter Salles’ screen adaptation of the beloved Jack Kerouac novel
Stewart actually met with Salles in 2007 after the director caught her performance as a melancholy teen in “Into the Wild,” but it took several years for the film to get made. It’s time that Stewart is grateful for. “The role was so beyond me at that point,” she says. “I loved the character, and I would have done craft services to be involved with that movie. But I drove away shaking because I was thinking, ‘Oh, my God, I think I’m going to get the job, and I don’t know if I can do it!’ ”
Playing someone as uninhibited as Marylou, who romances both her boyfriend, Dean (Garrett Hedlund), and the film’s protagonist, Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), required Stewart to be exposed, figuratively and literally. The nudity didn’t intimidate Stewart, who played a stripper in 2010’s “Welcome to the Rileys,” though she knew it was something the media would latch on to, anticipating headlines like “ ‘Twilight’ Good Girl Bares All!” says Stewart, “I know it’s an odd thing to say, but it didn’t worry me. I really do love taking walls down. I didn’t want to hide, especially as Marylou—she’s the last person who would hide.” As it turns out, it was a simple dance scene that frightened Stewart the most. “But whenever I had doubts, I was able to talk to Walter, and all my apprehensions went away,” she says. She starts to praise her director at length before stopping herself and saying, “What can I say—he’s fucking awesome.” Salles has nothing but kind words for Stewart in return. “Kristen is a seriously talented actress who’s going to surprise us many times in the future,” the director says in a phone call from Brazil. “She has the possibility to do pretty much whatever she wants, and she opts for roles that are very courageous choices—characters you might not expect her to play.”
While “On the Road” might seem like an attempt to break away from her “Twilight” image, that’s another misconception about Stewart; unlike many actors associated with a popular franchise, she’s not interested in putting Bella Swan behind her. “Other people try to distance me from her, but not me,” she says. “I’ve said it a hundred times before: I love Bella.” To that end, she admits to getting frustrated when people label the character as weak or passive; it does seem a faulty argument, considering how many times Bella takes action that endangers her life to fight for what she loves. “If Edward and Bella switched places, he would be viewed as someone to admire, someone who just lays everything on the line,” she says. “It takes such a strong person to completely subject yourself to something and give yourself over to something so wholly. It’s an equal relationship; they both give the same amount, so why is she condemned for it? I don’t get it.”
Aside from this year’s blockbuster “Snow White and the Huntsman,” Stewart has gravitated largely to independent fare between “Twilight” films, like playing Joan Jett in “The Runaways” or holding her own opposite Melissa Leo and James Gandolfini in “Rileys.” But “Twilight” has much more in common with those scrappy indies than people think; the first film was not a guaranteed hit when she signed on, just a modestly budgeted movie with unknown actors from an unproven studio. “It’s funny how people forget that,” Stewart says. “If I don’t look elated in a paparazzi photo, people say, ‘Well, you signed on to this!’ Well…not really, all right?” Stewart can pinpoint the moment she began to realize what the film would become. “It was at Comic-Con, when we were literally hit with the energy of 6,000 people like a brick wall in the face. That was the moment I went, ‘What the fuck is this going to be?’ ”
No one could have anticipated the phenomenon it would become, let alone Stewart, who tries to take the scrutiny and attention in stride. Which brings us to “Fifty Shades of Grey,” the erotic publishing phenomenon that began as “Twilight” fan fiction. Has Stewart read it? “Not really—I’ve skimmed parts of it,” she says. “When I read the first few pages describing her messy hair, I was like, ‘This is so strange.’ ” Stewart can’t resist an uninhibited laugh, adding, “But it’s just so raunchy! I mean, obviously, everyone knows that. But when I see people reading it on planes and stuff, I’m genuinely creeped out. Like, you’re basically just reading porn right now! Get that blanket off your lap!”
LOS ANGELES—“I have been asked a lot about growing up lately,” Kristen Stewart said in a recent press conference, in reply to a question about what she had learned about herself, especially this year which saw her go through a turbulent few months.
“One solid thing I can say is that fear is not necessarily a bad thing,” declared Kristen, clad in a Stella McCartney dress and sporting Christian Louboutin shoes. “It’s something that, as you get older, you can get a bit more comfortable with. Fear is a very motivating thing in life. You should not be crippled by it—use it instead.”
Kristen said that with the release this week of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn–Part 2,” the media interviews were making her feel like she was “graduating from high school.” The actress remarked, “Everyone’s asking, ‘What have you learned at the end of this ‘Twilight’ experience? What did ‘Twilight’ do to you?’ You pick up, drop off so many different inhibitions and you’re never going to have none. Fear is a good thing.”
Back stories
Is this really the end of the “Twilight” series? How about prequels and sequels? “We’ve spoken to Stephenie (Meyer) about it since the beginning,” came Kristen’s quick reply. “Are there going to be more books? I think Stephenie has decided that Edward and Bella are allowed to be happy forever now. We’ve gotten them to a really good place. I think we should leave them alone.”
Then Kristen offered a tantalizing prospect to “Twilight” fans: “There are so many back stories that haven’t been explored. There’s the wolf pack …”
On the final movie itself, which costars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, of course, she had this to say: “Bill (Condon, director) really does twist the knife at the end of this one for anybody who doesn’t really want to say goodbye yet. I still feel like I don’t have to say goodbye, though. That’s the beauty of making movies. They’re not going anywhere.”
Last shooting day
She added: “There have been so many times when everybody thinks that the moment’s going to hit them. There are various degrees of letting something go. I don’t know if it’s more of me as a fan of the series, from an outsider’s perspective. It’s strange that we’re not going to sit here and talk about it directly anymore. It’s strange that we’re not going to be all together anymore but we all still have it. It’s not going anywhere.”
Kristen recounted the last shooting day: “[There were] two different times when we thought that we had finished. We wrapped on the majority of the production with the wedding scene and the entire cast was there. It was one of those moments that didn’t hit. It was almost like we all knew that we weren’t done yet.
“We had to go and do a little bit of additional footage for the honeymoon in St. Thomas. The sun was coming up. We had to stop shooting. We must have been finished hours before but we just kept going. It was weird. Nobody was tired at the end of the day. Typically, after a long day in the ocean, standing on apple boxes, everyone would be exhausted but there was this serious lightness that was unlike anything I’d felt.”
She continued to share her thoughts on the end of her “Twilight” era. What we’ve always liked about her is that she weighs the words that come out of her mouth. She does not just blurt out any empty statements. “At the end of a movie, whether it was like five weeks or five months, nobody really wants to let it go,” she pointed out.
“We got to live in this world for so long that it was like, suddenly this weight was lifted. There are so many beloved moments that weigh on you for years. The fact that it was all done—it was strange to actually miss the worry, to suddenly go, ‘Whoa, I don’t have this worry anymore.’ That’s when the pain gets you. You’re suddenly like … I’ve really desperately wanted someone to take it off my hands for so long. Suddenly, I want it back.”
Asked about Jodie Foster, whom she announced as the next recipient of the Golden Globes’ Cecil B. DeMille Award, Kristen said of the actress who played her mom in David Fincher’s “Panic Room”: “[At my age at the time] she was the perfect example to be around. This may not be the most remarkable thing about her. It’s always shocking for people to see—which is strange—that when she’s doing a movie, she’s like a hired hand. She completely understands that it takes a lot of people to make a movie. There’s no hierarchy with her. It’s a group effort. Most actors take themselves incredibly seriously. She’s just incredibly normal. I’ve always really identified with that. I have that mentality, possibly partly due to her.”
When a reporter touted the usual question about what special power she would like to have, Kristen graciously obliged with, “I would like to be able to teleport. I’d love to be able to jump. And that would be different a few years ago.” In her calm demeanor, she dished this year’s understatement: “I might be really obvious and say that I would want to fly but that would draw a little bit too much attention nowadays—if I started flying now.”
On her other film, Walter Salles’ adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s iconic novel that defined the Beat Generation, Kristen said, “I read ‘On the Road’ for the first time when I was a freshman in high school. One thing that’s said about the book is that it really does change as you get older. If you pick it up again and read it, you do start realizing that you can choose the people that you surround yourself with. You start to feel the choice in your life. You start to feel that you can actually reach out and grab something. Even if you don’t know what it is, there’s just that itching beneath the surface.”
In a fitting move for her post-“Twilight” career, Kristen boldly plunges into her role as Marylou and appears in a threesome bed scene with Garrett Hedlund and Sam Riley. “When I read the book, I was so taken by how the characters were with each other,” she stressed. “I wanted to find people who pushed me like that. I wanted to move. I’m seriously opposed to anything that stays too stagnant. I do really appreciate things being fluid and there’s nothing more fluid than that book. It runs like water. I wanted to chase after it. It’s a pretty universal feeling, too.
How to escape
“A lot of people would say that I was fairly young to read that book. Between 15 and 25 is a big gap but it’s a period so completely full of desire. It was like okay for them to explore that and it was fun.”
At the AFI Fest gala screening party of “On the Road,” Kristen, fetching in an all-black outfit (she quickly changed from her red-carpet Balenciaga attire), surprised us with her answer on what challenged her the most in the movie. She said it was the dance scene with Garrett—a wild, uninhibited one to percussive rhythm. Sitting nearby at the party was Robert.
In the press con, Kristen offered this reply about how she escapes from it all: “I really love my car. I’m from LA so any time I can get behind the wheel, I feel good.” On the road. Of course.
he current issue of Backstage features Kristen Stewart on the cover, talking about her upcoming films “The Twilight Sage: Breaking Dawn Part 2” and “On the Road.” However, she chatted with Backstage about much more than that! Here are some outtakes from the conversation, where she talks about her other films, including the Mary Stuart Masterson-directed indie “The Cake Eaters,” in which Stewart delivered a physical tour-de-force playing a girl with an incurable neurological disorder.
On being misrepresented in the press: “There’s been a couple of things recently where I just went…what the fuck? It always ends up being something that you kind of said but it’s changed so…I don’t even want to say ‘masterfully,’ because it doesn’t take an intelligent person to do this, it just takes a very conniving, manipulative capitalist motherfucker. The thing is, some people live on the battlefield and some people don’t. I just don’t live my life like that so I never anticipate those things. But you encounter people in your life that are about divide and conquer, and it’s crazy.”
On leaving "Twilight" behind: "I’m so excited that the story is done and we don’t have that hanging over us anymore. There are so many moments that are beloved and typically, you have five months to think about things. We had five years. It’s amazing. How many times are you going to get that chance to focus on that one person for so long? But because everything’s been done so well, I think we’re excited to be moving on. Not that we want it to be over, but it feels right. It did not feel right at any point before this.”
On the question she's asked the most: “The most common question or comment I get about ‘Twilight’ is, ‘You must be so sick of it. Did things get stagnant? Are you bored?’ Well, no. Because we hadn’t done the whole story. It’s not like we did the same thing over and over. I also get the ‘responsibility’ question all the time, about being a role model. Also, I find it crazy when people ask quickfire questions like, ‘We just have 20 questions really quick, answer these…’ and they’ll be really heavy, deep questions like ‘What’s your greatest fear?’ What? How do I respond?”
On auditioning for director Sean Penn for “Into the Wild”: “After I did a reading, we met again like a week later and I played a song for him. I botched it so badly, it was awful. I learned “Blackbird” on guitar, but it was difficult to sing at the same time. It was very embarrassing, but he gave me the part anyway. He said he wanted me to be in the movie he just didn’t know in what capacity yet. Then he called me and said, ‘Hey you want to do this thing?’ I was like, ‘Jesus Christ, are you kidding me?’ ”
On her most difficult role: “ ‘The Cake Eaters’ was the most intimidating thing I’d ever done. I got to know a couple families that struggle with that disease, Friedreich's Ataxia. You can’t generalize it at all. It’s so distinct. I wasn’t able to try it before we started shooting, I couldn’t do it. Until it was the moment it was supposed to happen, it felt ridiculous to imitate something like that. Mary was amazing to have enough faith in me to wait until we started shooting.”
On doing indie films: “There is a part of indie movies that’s really appealing that is like, half of these people will think we’re fucking crazy, but half these people will be our friends. You can find people similar to you with stuff that’s a little bit more obscure. Not everyone’s going to like it. ‘Into the Wild,’ people either love that movie or fucking hate it. It really pissed some people off. But I love it, and he does too, and he does too. Its kind of an appealing part of doing these indies. They’re fun because it’s us and them.”
