In an interview with IESB.net, Welsh actor Michael Sheen talks about picking roles for a movie, preparing for his character and filming New Moon. Here is an excerpt:
Q: Where do anda start, when you’re doing a literary adaptation, like with New Moon atau Alice in Wonderland?
Michael: Well, I start at exactly the same place, which is always the story. My first contact with anything I’m going to do is the script, whether it’s a script I’ve been offered, atau I’ve been sent it, atau whatever. I sit down and I read it. That first Membaca of the script is very special to me because I know it’s my first point of contact with the story and the world of the piece. I don’t read things in bits, and I don’t read it whilst I’m doing something else. I have to have full concentration. I read it because, if I end up doing this film, that first reading, the impressions I get, the connections I make and how it sparks my imagination, will fuel everything I do for the whole rest of it. It’s always that first contact with it, so that’s a very special moment for me and that doesn’t matter whether it’s based on real events atau not, whether it’s New Moon atau anything.
That’s the world. That’s the beginning point. And then, it’s just about letting your imagination go. I look for clues. Any script is like a whodunit. The writer has certain intentions, whether they’re conscious atau unconscious, and they come out and are expressed in the script.
So, for instance, when I was doing New Moon, it wasn’t just the script, it was the book as well. I used to have the book with me every hari on the set, all the time. I’d re-read it and re-read it and re-read it. It’s not like I had to read the whole book, because Aro’s bits are not as much, but nevertheless, I try and immerse myself in the world of the piece, whatever the piece is.
So, if it’s Brian Clough’s life, then I immerse myself in Brian Clough’s life. If it’s New Moon, then I immerse myself in Stephenie’s world, but also the world of vampires, generally. With the Underworld films, I watched everything that ever has been on werewolves, and I read everything. anda never know where the one little thing will come from that just sparks your imagination. It doesn’t happen all the time, but anda never know where that thing’s going to come from. It can come from the most unlikely of places, and usually does. It’s what The Lord of the Rings is all about. The most important person in the whole The Lord of the Rings story is the one that is over-looked in Tolkien’s world. It’s the little Hobbit. It’s the little unlooked for thing.
I’ve always found that that’s the same with what I do. I might be reading, atau there will be a chance remark that someone I’m talking to makes about something, and it sticks with me. When I find my core stuff for research, at the time, I don’t know why that’s important to me, but I just know there’s something about it. Eventually, I’ll be doing a scene and maybe the director will say, “At this point, could anda do something here?,” and suddenly something will occur to me from the research. Which means anda have to do loads of it, even though anda might end up using just a tiny amount of it, but anda never know where that stuff will come from.
That was the same for New Moon. Weirdly, I found myself on the set and I suddenly heard the voice of the Blue Meanie in Yellow Submarine. There’s a thing that Stephenie writes in the book that his voice was like feathers, and just suddenly I heard this voice that really disturbed me when I was a kid. It was very gentle and soft, but there was something very scary about it. So, for little things like that, anda never know where it’s going to come from.

Danie turned into a blob of epal, apple sauce, then shape-shifted back into a human. "There" She said.
"Hey Erin! So I see anda got my text."
"Yeah! Congrats! anda have to tell me all about this Parick."
"No, anda tell me about anda being part of the Volturi."
"How did anda know?"
"Well me being a vamp and everything, I get one power which is shape-shifting."
"What does that have to do with it?"
"Oh nothing I just needed to tell you."
"Ok, how did anda find out?"
"Your friend Alice told me."
"Oh,ok. Yeah, so anda know my dad is Aro and my little sister is Jane."
"I didn't even know that!" Alice said."Why didn't anda tell me?"
"I wasn't ready to yet."
"Erin, anda are my best friend; I tell anda everything, anda should tell me the same."
"Ok,sorry."
"It's fine. Now come on, let's go shopping for your friend's big day."
"Ok, let's go."
Two hours later, Alice, Erin, and Danie were still roaming around when they found the "perfect dress".

1.Erin is part of the Volturi, but she is half human-Spoiler!
2.not everything will be exactly like the books,it will be dramatized a little.
3.Erin is my best friend in real life, so I try to make her as realistic as possible.
4.This one is lebih about me:I don't like cussing in my stories because I don't cuss a lot in real life, but it makes my stories funnier,agree?
5.We might make a movie out of this when we are done-Spoiler!
6.Erin was telling me about one of her friends, Danie, and she might be in a few chapters-Spoiler!
7.Erin tries to kill Alice later in the story-Spoiler!
ok so this is a old song from the fiftys but i think it relates to how bella feels after edward leaves her in new moon so here it is
Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to pantai
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause anda don't Cinta me any lebih
Why do the birds go on Singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I Lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my hati, tengah-tengah go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when anda berkata goodbye
Why does my hati, tengah-tengah go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when anda berkata goodbye
Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to pantai
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause anda don't Cinta me any lebih
Why do the birds go on Singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I Lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my hati, tengah-tengah go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when anda berkata goodbye
Why does my hati, tengah-tengah go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when anda berkata goodbye
The 22-year-old Twilight bintang recently sat down with E! Online and dished on the upcoming film and what exactly he thought was weird about it all. “Sometimes anda feel uncomfortable Membaca this thing [the book] and I think a lot of people would feel that it is…and in the same way it’s kind of voyeuristic. It’s kind of like a sick pleasure…It’s really honest, really, really honest and that’s kind of what’s weird about it.”

hei ladies! Ok, I wrote this the other hari while I was at work. I had my head down on the desk, sat up, wrote it, and put my head back down. LOL I ask that anda don't use it without my permission, as it is my original work. But here is a little poem I wrote, that I thought anda Twilight obsessed peminat-peminat might like. I kind of pictured Edward after I wrote it and reread it. There are lots of people (including people who anda might be dating right now) that this can apply to. Enjoy and tell me what anda think!
Young girls think of Cinta and picture a prince.
Women, who have loved and been hurt see not a prince but the truth.
Just a man, imperfect and unsure.
But it's those memories of Prince Charming that make them keep loving, even without hope.
