The Humans of New Moon Speak Up!

We forget everyone in Twilight isn't a vampire or a werewolf

Sometimes it seems like everyone in the Twilight movies is a mythical creature, whether it's a vampire or werewolf. Except for Bella, of course. But we can't forget about all of Bella's classmates, some of whom have some pretty big roles in the movies. And now we finally get to hear some of them talk!

You know Anna Kendrick, Michael Welch, Justin Chon and Christian Serratos as Jessica, Mike, Eric, and Angela, respectively. They're the "humans" in the Twilight books; Bella's classmates who are clueless to the vampire world. We feel like we don't really get to hear enough from them about Twilight, so we're happy they're speaking up to the Calgary Herald!

Mike Welch describes what it was like working with Chris Weitz, "Chris was really great. Catherine [Hardwicke] was wonderful too, but they're just totally different in terms of their style and their process. And I think that as a result, you're going to end up with a film that just feels very different." Christian adds his two cents as well: "He's really awesome. He's very well-organized, well-spoken, fun and carefree - simultaneously. It's incredible."

We've always wondered if the "humans" wish they could play vampires or werewolves in the Twilight movies. The Herald asked them what they would rather play; a vampire or werewolf. Anna claims, "I would personally rather be a werewolf since they seem to get to have a lot more fun," while Michael would rather play a vampire; at least for the first 100 years. But we like Christian's answer best: "I'd play a wolf. I'd play Leah, 'cause she's sassy."

Mike also talks about the infamous movie theater scene in New Moon: "That was a lot of fun to shoot. That's one of those moments that I think pretty much anyone can relate to. I've certainly had moments in my life that are almost unbearable at the time but as you're watching it, I think the audience will find it very sad and funny." Just like we did in the book!

Justin does a good job of describing what the humans do for the New Moon storyline: "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." Thank goodness for that!

Sometimes we forget about the awesome cast of humans in the Twilight movies, but now we're super excited to see Jessica, Mike, Eric, and Angela in New Moon!
