Edi, Justin, and Gil Talk Twilight & New Moon
Twilight Examiner has a great transcript from the Twilife show in Orlando this weekend.
Q: In the books, some of the character ethnicity was a little bit undefined, so how has it been to approach portraying these characters with a diverse cast?
Justin: … the obvious one is ‘I didn’t know Eric was Asian.’
Edi: Do they say ‘I didn’t know he was Asian’ or do they say ‘he’s not Asian?’
Justin: ‘I didn’t know he was Asian’ or ‘When did Yorkie become an Asian last name?’ But I think those both are good things to worry about. You know? … being Asian, that’s cool too because it brings awareness that we need a cast that’s more diverse. And so I think it’s a good thing that people are talking about it.
Q: Okay, so favorite scene in New Moon?
Edi: The meadow scene …
Justin: The meadow scene … [laughs]
Gil: The meadow scene …
Edi: Yeah! Bring Laurent back!

I didn’t like how they kept mentioning that the others weren’t there. “Like the others who haven’t been to an event” or something, it just bothered me. “Yeah! Bring Laurent back!” Woot! Lol. =D
