Mona von FBb besuchte die Comic*Con in London mit Justin Chon, Peter Facinelli und Alex Meraz
Am Wochenende des 18. und 19. Juli 2009 besuchte unsere Redakteurin Mona die "Film und Comic Con" in London, bei der Peter Facinelli (Dr. Carlisle Cullen), Justin Chon (Eric Yorkie) und Alex Meraz (Paul) zu Gast waren.
Bei dieser Gelegenheit traf sie Justin Chon, der durch ein kurzes Video einen Gruß an die Forks-Bloodbank-User ausrichten ließ:
Neben dem Gruß hatte sie dabei auch die Gelegenheit, ein kurzes Exklusivinterview mit dem jungen Schauspieler zu führen.
| Q: How did you get into Twilight? Justin: Just like in any other movie. I auditioned for it and got the part. Although I know some people who auditioned for several parts in it but I only auditioned for Eric. Q: How did you get into acting? Justin: My dad was an actor in South Korea where he was growing up. I was watching his black and white movies and when I was going to university to gain a business degree, half way through it I decided that I didn't want to work in a cubicle. So I decided to try acting out and to take a 2 year acting course and just kept going from there. Q: You were working with a very musical cast in Twilight. Are you into music and do you play any instruments? Justin: I play a lot of instruments. I played the violin for 10 years, I play guitar, I play saxophone, piano, ukelele Q: How did Twilight change your personal and professional life? Justin: Personally not too much. I'm still friends with the same people. So that doesn't really change. I still hang out at the same places, go to the same theatres, everything Š Professionally it's pretty much the same, I'm still an auditioning actor, I think the type of actor I am, I'll probably be an auditioning actor for the rest of my life and I love that. I love the whole process of it and it makes me appreciate the roles I do. So, not too much. I mean, it does get me in the door Š I don't get crazy movie offers but that's fine. A little bit here and there but for the most parts it's pretty much the same for me. Q: What is the next project you're working on? Justin: Possibly the third Twilight. I don't know yet. They haven't told me yet. So hopefully they'll put me back in. You guys should write a letter to summit saying: "You got to put him back in!" Q: Have you been to Europe before? Justin. Yes, one other time and I love it. I love it here. I've been to Venice and then this time I went to Barcelona, Rome and Paris. I would love to come to Germany. I would love, love, love to. Q: Are you a lot into fantasy like Twilight or was that your first project in this context and do you like it? Justin: For this type of context it is my first. I haven't done too much fantasy, a little bit but not too much. Do I like it? Yes, it's great! I did read comics when I was growing up. I've read a lot of comics. These days I haven't so much but actually after all this whole hype, I'm starting to planning to get back into it. I recently watched "Watchman". It's actually really good. People were giving me mixed thoughts about it but I watched it and I thought it was amazing! Q: Is there any character you'd really like to play or comic hero you want to be? Justin: I would love to be "Akira" or something in "Akira". One of the characters in "Akira". A dark comic. I'd love to play like a really dark character. Q: But didn't you just play a bad guy in a movie with Harrison Ford? Justin: Kind of a bad guy, a punk kid, a troublemaker but it wasn't really a bad guy. But I'd love to play a bad guy. I think I can do it but I just usually get casted for a lot of comedies. But that was a very dramatic piece. You should check it out. It's called "Crossing Over". |
| Q: Wie bist du zu deiner Rolle in Twilight gekommen? Justin: Genau wie bei jedem anderen Film auch. Ich war beim Vorsprechen und habe die Rolle bekommen. Ich kenne einige Leute, die sogar für mehrere Rollen vorgesprochen haben. Ich habe mich allerdings nur um die Rolle des Eric bemüht. Q: Wie bist du auf die Idee gekommen, Schauspieler zu werden? Justin: Mein Vater war in Südkorea, wo er aufgewachsen ist, Schauspieler. Ich habe mir seine Schwarzweißfilme angesehen. Als ich dann auf die Universität gegangen bin, um mein Wirtschafts-Diplom zu machen, habe ich, als ich schon halb durch war, festgestellt, dass ich keinen Arbeitsplatz in einem Großraumbüro haben wollte. Also habe ich beschlossen, es mit der Schauspielerei zu versuchen, habe einen zweijährigen Schauspielkurs belegt und von dort aus einfach weiter gemacht. Q: Bei Twilight hast du mit sehr musikalischen Kollegen zusammengearbeitet. Spielst du auch ein Instrument? Justin: Ich spiele viele Instrumente. Ich habe 10 Jahre Geige gespielt, ich kann Gitarre, Saxophon, Klavier und Ukulele spielen Š Q: Wie hat Twilight dein Privatleben und dein berufliches Leben verändert? Justin: Mein Privatleben eigentlich kaum. Ich bin immer noch mit denselben Leuten befreundet. Also verändert sich nicht viel. Ich hänge immer noch an denselben Orten rum, ich geh in die gleichen Theater, einfach alles ist gleich Š Auch beruflich ist es eigentlich noch ziemlich dasselbe. Ich bin immer noch ein Schauspieler, der zu Vorsprechen geht und werde wahrscheinlich auch für den Rest meines Lebens so ein Schauspieler bleiben. Und ich liebe das. Ich liebe den ganzen Prozess und es bringt mich dazu, dass ich die Rollen, die ich bekomme, zu schätzen weiß. Also hat sich nicht viel verändert. Š Ich bekomme nicht verrückt viele Filmangebote. Aber das ist ok. Ein paar hier, ein paar da, aber bei den meisten Parts, ist es für mich immer noch so ziemlich dasselbe. Q: Was wird das nächste Projekt sein, bei dem du mitwirkst? Justin: Möglicherweise der dritte Teil von Twilight. Sie haben es mir noch nicht gesagt. Ich hoffe, ich bin wieder dabei. Ihr solltet einen Brief an Summit schreiben, um ihnen zu sagen: "Ihr müsst ihn wieder besetzten!" Q: Warst du schon einmal in Europa? Justin: Ja, schon einmal und ich liebe es. Ich LIEBE es hier! Das letzte Mal war ich in Venedig und dieses Mal war ich in Barcelona, Rom und Paris. Ich würde wahnsinnig gerne nach Deutschland kommen. Ganz, ganz, ganz gerne! Q: Wie gerne magst du Fantasy-Filme, Bücher und Comics und ist Twilight dein erstes Fantasy-Projekt? Justin: In dieser Art, ist es mein erstes Projekt. Ich habe bislang noch nicht so viel Fantasy gemacht, nur ein wenig. Und, ob es mir gefällt? JA! Ich liebe es, es ist großartig. Als ich aufgewachsen bin, habe ich viele Comics gelesen. Zurzeit nicht mehr so viele, aber nach dem ganzen Hype jetzt, werde ich versuchen, mich wieder einzufinden. Ich habe kürzlich "Watchman" gesehen. Der ist wirklich gut. Die Leute haben mir gemischte Gefühle gegeben, deswegen, aber ich hab ihn mir angesehen und ich fand, dass er erstaunlich gut war. Q: Gibt es eine Rolle, die du unbedingt spielen möchtest oder einen Comic-Helden, den du darstellen willst? Justin: Ich würde gerne “Akira" oder einen Charakter aus “Akira" spielen. Ein düsterer Comic, ich würde es lieben, einen düsteren Charakter zu verkörpern. Q: Hast du nicht gerade erst einen bösen Typen in einem Film mit Harrison Ford gespielt? Justin: Eine Art bösen Jungen, nur einen Punk, einen Unruhestifter. Aber ich würde wahnsinnig gerne einen bösen Kerl spielen. Ich denke, ich kann das, aber üblicherweise werde ich für viele Komödien gecastet. Aber dieses Stück war sehr dramatisch: Ihr solltet es euch ansehen! Es heißt “Crossing Over". |
Auf der Veranstaltung fand außerdem ein Q&A mit allen drei Twilight-Stars statt, in dem es unter anderem um Boxershorts, Vampire und Doktorrollen ging.
| Fan: Apart from Twilight is there any other vampire or werewolf character you would like to play? Peter is thinking and passes the question on to Alex. Alex: I really liked Gary Oldman's performance of Dracula in the recent movie so that would be a character I'd love to play. Justin replies without even thinking: Kirsten Dunst's part in "Interview with a Vampire". After thinking for some more time and telling the audience he had no idea, Peter says: Wait! Buffy. But to be honest, I don't know many vampire stories. Fan: How much of yourself were you able to bring into your character? Justin: I had a lot of freedom to bring into my character as Stephenie hasn't clearly described Eric. Alex: Chris casted people that were naturally like their character. He did only one casting for Sam Uley and they picked up all people (wolf pack) out of that casting. As I played kind of aggressive that is why I got Paul. Peter: Catherine gave me a lot of freedom with Carlisle, besides from dying my hair blond. I basically created Carlisle and she formed it. I created his speech pattern, though. He's originally from London but I thought he would have lost his British accent by that time already. So my idea was that Carlisle talks very properly. I made him speak with a very proper American accent, as I thought he would have lost his English accent after such a long time being away. Fan: Question to Justin. Are you Team Jake or Edward? Justin: I'm Team Justin. Peter: He likes worms. They're all seated in a row but are having trouble hearing the fans' questions. So Peter stands up and walks through the audience with his microphone to be able to better understand the questions. Fan: What song would you put on soundtrack if you could choose from any? Peter: All the single ladies for sure! Then a girl stands up and asks Peter to pass a little paper on to Kristen Stewart. He takes the message. Peter: You want me to be a messenger pigeon. I'm telling you, I'm going to read this. Oh, it's a phone number. I'll give the number to Kristen but I can't promise she's ever going to call. Peter has a question for Alex: Tell me, how is it to have such a fanbase before the movie even came out? Alex: It's amazing. I can't imagine how it's going to be afterwards. Peter: So you know how we felt. None of us had an idea on how big it would be. When we went to the premiere there were 5000 people there and it was great. And I thought, wow, it's going to be amazing when they like the movie. But it was threatening at the same time as I thought that they might turn into an angry mob if they didn't like the movie. I'm happy they did. Fan: What is it you like best in your character? Alex: I really like how Stephenie created the characters of the wolves. I like that Native Americans are not demonised in the Twilight-Saga. Instead they're something big and fantastic. Peter is getting people to come to the front to ask their questions. Fan to Alex: How do you feel about joining the Twilight-team? Alex: I was pretty nervous. I felt like at my first day in school, as if I was a junior, and the others were seniors. So I asked a lot for advice. But everyone was pretty open. I found it pretty refreshing. Peter: I bought him (Alex) a donut. I remember we were all hanging out at Kristen's apartment 'til 2 am and Rob was playing the guitar. Fan to Alex: Would you play a vampire if you had a chance? Alex: NO! I always had a fascination with wolves since I was a kid. I really like their eyes and the strength of a wolf. Peter: For a vampire he needs to workout more. Peter asks Alex: Do you transform? Alex: Yes I do. Peter: I haven't seen anything that he has done at all. Fan: Did you read the books or see the first Twilight movie? Alex: I watched Twilight. And I read the first two books. I bought Eclipse to read it on the plane. Fan: What Twilight character do you like most? Alex: I really like Leah! She's pretty interesting. She's got the powers of a man, as she is the only woman of the wolf pack and the only woman being able to transform. Justin: My favourite character is Carlisle! Not because Peter is here. I think he's pretty cool. Peter: I have Edward envy. I take Carlisle as a roundup. But I really like Edward. Fan: Who gets recognised more often in the streets you (Peter) or his Jenny (his wife)? Peter: It used to be Jenny. But I have to admit that when I'm with my family I'm not much aware of my surroundings. I guess, now it's about 50:50. Peter is encouraging people to come to the stage: Come here we don't bite. Fan: How did you all adjust to the huge female attention? Peter: Quite comfortably. It's been fantastic. Fan: How does your wife deal with it? Jenny is pretty secure. She's ok with it. She knows I'm not going anywhere. Alex: I'm quite comfortable with it. Fan: Could you tell us any embarrassing or funny stories from the set? Justin: We were shooting a scene and I slapped Mike in the ass really hard. But he just kept going and that's the take they were using in the movie. Other than that, people were mixing up lines all the time. Alex: Actually I have one. I was trying to teach Kiowa a proper punch. And he got a little too excited with practising and hit me pretty hard on my face. He actually broke my nose. You're a bit too far away but look at it now! It used to be straight. But it was my fault and it was rather embarrassing for me. Peter: Did you sue him? Alex: No. But from then on I made a chase around him. Peter: I have a story that was actually pretty funny for me, I don't know how you like it. When we started filming New Moon, I was in a card shop. I don't remember why I ended up there but then in front of me there was this card saying. ONE DAY WE WILL FIND A PROPER JOB FOR YOU THAT REALLY SUITS YOU. And so I decided to give it to Rob as a joke. He didn't understand it at first and after I explained he decided to pass it on to Kristen. Then he came back to me telling me that Kristen actually got mad at him. Well the thing is, it's basically like saying to an actor: You suck at your job! Fan: What would you say that someone needs, who wants to become an actor? Alex: I always say, acting is not only a race it's a miracle. You get turned down so often. So you have to have a passion and knowing that this is what you have to do. Peter: If you want to be famous, just rob a bank. If you want to be an actor, just act. Fan to Peter: Dr. Cooper or Dr. Cullen? Peter: You mean, as Dr. Cooper is some kind of jerk and Dr. Cullen isn't? I'd say they're different types of character. Dr. Cooper seems to be very strong on the outside but is a mess and Dr. Cullen is just a solid rock. I liked playing them both. Fan: What's your favourite scenes in the Twilight movies? Peter: I wish I was hanging out in the trees somehow. Alex: I was about to say the same. I really like the scene with Emilly at her house. When the whole wolfpack is there, like a family. There is something pretty real about them. Justin: I'd like to have done some action, like the vampires. Fan to Peter: After all the doctor characters, do you ever play doctor at home with your wife? Peter: No. Sorry. Fan: How did you feel when you got the part? Justin: I felt awesome. Anytime you get to work as an actor, it's amazing. I was stoked. I was ready by day 1. Peter: Someone else originally got my part and I was very disappointed as I thought I was good in the audition and Catherine and I got along well. But the other actor didn't work out. So I was next on the list. I was actually very connected to the character and when they chose me, I had the feeling it was meant to be. Alex: It's kind of winning the lottery. I heard about some statistic that 4000 people went out for the wolf pack roles. It felt right at this time of my life. When I found out that they chose me, I was relieved. It was destiny. Fan: Are there any kind of super powers that you would like to have? Peter: I'd like to fly that would be really cool. I kind of felt I got the short end of the stick. Edward can read minds, Alice can see the future and Š. Carlisle has compassion Š Even if I'm the most compassionate man in the room, I still want to have both. Fan: Will you do something like this Con in Australia one day? Peter: I think they've done one already and they'll do another one I think in September. This is actually something I really like that this movie gives us the possibility to travel. I would love to go to Australia. But I'm working then. If I had no day job, I'd just fly around and meet people all the time. Fan to Peter: In what way was it different to do Twilight, which was a low budget movie, and New Moon? Peter: Well, Twilight was a 30Mio dollar movie, but considered independent as Summit was not one of the big studios then. It was pretty chaotic at some days as we were literally racing though it. New Moon is more of a studio picture and the food was better. I'm excited to see to where the extra money lead us. Fan: Boxers or briefs? Peter is checking. Alex also: I mix them. Justin: it's depending on the situation. One fan girl: I just wanted to say that the others might be Team Edward or Team Jacob, but I'm Team Paul. Alex raises a fist: Thank you! I like that a lot! The moderator asks Peter to only do one more question as he has to go. Peter: I'll do whatever this guy likes as he's bigger than me. But what he actually meant to say is: More questions. Moderator: I'll shut down your microphone. Fan to Peter: Were you nervous to play Dr. Cooper? Peter: No. I'm an actor. I play different roles. I remember that people were angry when I got the role as they just saw me as Dr. Carlisle. But I really have to mix it up otherwise I get bored. Fan to Peter: Was there any scene in the book that you would have liked to be in the movie? Peter: In Twilight the book went more into detail on Carlisle Then the moderator shuts down Peter's microphone as they have to go and do some more photo shoots. |
