Intoxicating Scent

As most of you know, this weekend was the press junket for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” here in Los Angeles.  Since so many of the cast were in attendance, Summit Entertainment divided up the actors by who they played in the movie.  Since Michael Sheen (Aro), Jamie Campbell Bower (Caius), Dakota Fanning (Jane), and Cameron Bright (Alec) played the Volturi in “New Moon”, it made sense they would share a press conference.  So if you’d like to read or listen to what they had to say about their characters and being in “New Moon”, hit the jump.

As always, you can either read the transcript below or click here to listen to the audio.  Finally, look for my one on one video interview with Michael Sheen in a few days.  It was a great interview that you’ll really enjoy.

Question: Dakota, as such a fan of the series, you’ve said in many interviews before that you were really excited about this so what were the highlights of playing Jane and do you get to do more in the next movie?

Dakota Fanning: I think the highlight of playing Jane was getting to wear that costume and to have the red contact lenses — I was really excited about that – and getting to play an evil character. The next movie I already finished doing, Eclipse, and it’s about the same. It’s still not very much in the movie.

What did you think when you saw yourself for the first time with the red lenses in?

Dakota Fanning: I know. It’s really scary. I think it makes anyone look automatically evil. But yeah, it was really fun. You get used to them after a while. You can see pretty good, but it’s still kind of weird.

Michael, I wanted to know what you were saying into that tape recorder, but secondly, I wanted to know about you finding your voice. You mentioned the Blue Meanie. Did it take you a while to come up with that or was that kind of an instant thought when you read the script?
