Calgary Herald: New Moon’s Humans Keep It Real

If you weren’t playing humans, which would you prefer to play: a vampire or a werewolf?
Anna: I would personally rather be a werewolf since they seem to get to have a lot more fun. The vampires are very cool, but they have to be very calm and collected all the time. The werewolves get to let loose a little bit more.
Michael: I’d much rather play a vampire. Being a vampire would be cool, I think, for the first 100 years or so. It’d be fun to be able to play because vampires are just too cool; they’re just sexy and interesting and complicated.
Everyone always talks about Team Edward and Team Jacob. Don’t you think it’s time to start Team Mike and Team Eric?
Michael: Ya, I do! Actually, I’ve had friends who’ve jokingly made up some Team Mike t-shirts.
Justin: I would love to do that. I think you’d have to campaign. It’s political. I’d need lobbyists and stuff.
The mood for New Moon is pretty bleak for a lot of the film. You guys represent the normal world for Bella, but you also provide a lot of comic relief.
Justin: Bella’s really depressed throughout the movie so we really have to bring light to it, otherwise it’s just too dark the whole time.
Michael: Our job is to add a little humour, add a little levity, and just come across as realistic kids in a small town in Washington.
Anna: And I think that there’s an inherent comedy in our blissful ignorance of everything that Bella is going through in the supernatural world.
