Taylor Lautner and Chris Weitz talk New Moon: 'The effects are going to be great, and more fighting'


Summit Entertainment

Everyone loves the love story portrayed in the Twilight Saga, between the main characters Bella and Edward - but now, in an interview with Empire Online, New Moon star Taylor Lautner and director Chris Weitz say that the male demographic will be quite pleased with the upcoming film.

Weitz says of New Moon's appeal to men: 'You've got the werewolves coming in, and the effects are going to be great on that part of the movie. Also, there's more fighting and that should appeal to the boys. There is also a male character, Jacob, who is inherently a more viable character for most boys because he's like an ordinary guy. He works on cars, whereas Edward is a perfect man, and maybe he only appeals to perfect men. That makes the demographic rather small! So there's more of a way into this one - we do hope to up the male demographic!'

Taylor Lautner comments on his character 'Jacob': 'In Twlight, Jacob is this happy-go-lucky kid, but in New Moon when he shapeshifts into his wolf self, he becomes a totally different person. It was almost a split personality in the same movie and sometimes even in the same day.'

Do you think that the first Twilight film was geared toward women or do you think that these movies appeal equally to box genders?
