PopEater.ca recently interviewed Eclipse newcomer Kirsten Prout (aka Lucy, one of the vamps that changes Jasper).

In the new interview they discuss how Kirsten landed the role ofLucy, and she gives what little Eclipse details that she could (but they are new details!) -

I hear you are a bit of a bookworm. Did you read the books before this all happened?

“I’d read all the books beforehand, because my sister is not a very big reader. We’re complete opposites. She’s completely inclined towards math. And I’m kind of an avid reader. So I saw her reading and I was like, ‘What are you reading that’s holding your interest?’ And she said, ‘Oh, there’s this series called ‘Twilight’.’ So I went and I borrowed her books. And I read one a day. I just shot through them.”

I actually wanted to ask you about the audition process. Did you go after this one? Did you get the call?

“I just got the call. I went for one of the other vampires, Bree, and the vampire Bree is supposed to be thirteen years old with very short brown hair. So physically I was absolutely wrong for the part. But I went in, and the casting director and the director liked me so much that they said, ‘OK, you know what? We have another part.’ So they fit me in through that audition, into Lucy, who is also a newborn vampire, and she actually is the one who turns Jasper, which is interesting. The thing about Lucy is that she has long blond hair and very very pale blue eyes and skin, so physically I was a big match for Lucy. I went in for one more audition for Lucy and I ended up showing up on set a few days later.”

From what I recall, Lucy is described, but you don’t actually see a lot of her…is that right?

“The thing is, if you read the book, it’s done in a very different way. In the book, it’s kind of a flashback. In the book she’s more of a vampire who…she was just kind of part of turning Jasper, whereas in the movie, it’s kind of featured, and it’s actually a scene, and Lucy is a lot more prominent in turning Jasper, so it’s a bit different. But I can’t tell you much.” [laughs]

I’m assuming, since it was 1863 when Jasper is turned…

“Wow, look at you!”

[laughs] It’s been a while since I read them, so I did my homework. You’re in period costume then?

“Yeah, well, I mean, again, I can’t really tell you too much, but it was cool because I’ve never actually done anything period. You look at my past parts and they’ve been ninja and girl-next-door and crazy random stuff. But I’ve never ever done a period piece, so for me, this whole project, being able to do a period piece was huge for me. And to have a character that was back in time was a lot of fun.”

Because the character is being done a bit differently than it was in the book, did you have any leeway to create the character? Everyone else has a pretty detailed character description.

“I think we’ve all played vampires differently. The way I think about it, everyone is so different. I think about how some people express their hunger, some people express love, some people express all there emotions, they have these certain characteristics that, when they’re hungry or when they love something, their reaction to it is so different, so playing a vampire was interesting for me. Because who’s the authority on what it’s like to smell blood?”

[laughs] You make a good point there.

[laughs] “And how do you react to that, right? So we all kind of took our own approach. Do you seduce your prey? Do you scare them so they’re scared stiff? Do you seduce ‘and’ terrify them? It was something to play with that was definitely fun because you’re playing make believe. Which is the most fun as an actor.”

So will you be doing any stunts in ‘Eclipse’?

“Um, yeah. I mean, there are lots of stunts in the movie. I can’t really disclose a lot, so…” [laughs]

Yeah, I’m sure that non-disclosure agreement was ‘huge’!

“Oh my god! You should have seen it! My agent was like, ‘Yay, you’ve got the part. You just have to come in and sign a couple things.’ I went in and there was this stack on the desk that was bigger than my entire head! And I was like, ‘Holy crap!’” [laughs]

Kirsten also got some pretty good advice from Jackson Rathbone! Check out what he said and the rest of the interview here!
