The LA Times gets candid with Twilight producer Wyck Godfrey, where he talked about making the Twilight films, the concerns for New Moon and how Taylor Lautner is going to impress the critics. Here is an excerpt:

GM: Stephenie is here on the set today — has she been present for the majority of the shoot? How involved is she in the day-to-day production?

WG: In terms of authors being involved with their works as they turn into movies, she’s definitely on the more involved end of it, and that was a very purposeful thing on our part. When you do a beloved book and turn it into a movie, you’re beholden in some sense to the fans to really get it right. From our standpoint having her constantly there during preproduction, during the script stage, coming to production four or five times for really pivotal scenes, you have her as the person who created it constantly there telling you, “Know what? We might be missing this.” It’s just great. She’s always supportive. It’s been a good presence. Whenever you make your decisions about directors or actors, you have Stephenie telling her fans, “I love this idea,” and that means a lot to them and us.

GM: Did she have specific concerns about “New Moon”?

WG: The major thing is trusting that Jacob comes to the forefront in this movie. You need to have Edward depart so that you can allow Jacob to be that life preserver that he becomes for Bella, that friend that sort of pulls her out of her deepest despair. The instinct sometimes as a filmmaker, it’s like, OK, we’ve got Rob Pattinson, we need to put him in the movie as much as possible. In reality, the design of the book from a narrative standpoint works. The heartbreak of losing Edward in the first act, you won’t have it if he’s constantly present through the rest of the movie. Keeping the movie subjective, keeping it from Bella’s perspective [is important] because that’s how you experience it when you’re reading the books. That’s what everyone loves about the books. It’s really about Bella’s emotions and what she’s going through, those universal emotions that every girl and boy in some sense goes through at that age.
