LimeLife: Exclusive Interview w/ Eclipse’s Julia Jones
LimeLife has an exclusive interview with Julia Jones, Leah in Eclipse.
LimeLife: Julia, you were cast with a pretty dynamic and somewhat complex character. Can you tell us about Leah Clearwater?
Julia Jones: Yeah, totally. First of all she’s the only werewolf who’s a female, which is in itself a very cool thing, but she has this complicated backstory where she is heartbroken because the head of the pack Sam Uley left her for her best friend and her cousin. So in addition to that she’s dealing with all the changes that you have in your body when you become a wolf, and as a girl there’s really nobody who knows what’s happening to her - she’s really alone and out there and heartbroken at the same time. And it makes her very angry and mean, and really she’s just in a lot of pain and she doesn’t know how to ask for help so she lashes out.
LimeLife: What did you bring to Leah’s character? Did you relate to her?
Julia Jones: The heartbreak is a very universal emotion and most of us have felt that - I have. So that was clearly part of it. But also just being so caught up in what’s going on in your world emotionally that you can’t connect to the outside world, that’s something that’s a hard thing. Anytime you go through something dark and painful, it makes you want to just withdraw from the world, except you can’t. I explored what that’s like a lot when I was preparing.

How old is she?! In this pic she looks good for Leah,but I seen the other one and she looks kind of old, I read a comment that said she was 28, but idk. Then again, I guess they’re supposed to look pretty old from the maturing when a wolf

she’s almost 30, i don’t really like her.
why did they made an open call and then made another casting with people they already know?
i think that was just to make people more anxious.
right now i just hope she make a really good job.

She’s really pretty! It sounds like she really understands Leah as a character, too, so hopefully she will be good for the role. ^.^
