New Kristen Prout Interview - Discusses Eclipse Audition, Filming & More

Full Interview Here but I've included a few of my fave parts with links to other blogs and info related to what she is talking about. Enjoy!

Nineteen-year-old Canadian born actress Kirsten Prout has been making a name for herself in film and television, since getting bitten by the acting but at the very young age of two. After her feature film debut in 2005 as Abby, sidekick to Jennifer Garner's character in the superhero flick Elektra, she went on to play Amanda, the girl-next-door love interest for Kyle on the ABC Family drama Kyle XY.
This June, Kirsten Prout will be in her most visible project to date, as vampire Lucy in the highly anticipated The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. In the third installment of the popular film franchise, her character is seen in flashbacks that give insight into the backstory of Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) and how he was created.

Q: How did you get involved with The Twilight Saga: Eclipse? Was it just a regular audition?

Kirsten: Yeah, it was just a regular audition. I had just come off of two films, and it was after Kyle XY, which was a television show I worked on for three years. I had been working on it for so long and, before that, I hadn't taken a real break because I had been working steadily since I was 10 years old. So, at the end of Kyle XY, which also happen to coincide with the end of my high school career, I decided to go off to University and leave the industry. I went for a year to McGill University and I majored in English literature, and I took all my advanced classes that I prepared for in high school, and I had a great time there. I got straight A's and was on the honor roll. But then, when I came back to Vancouver during the summer, I went for an audition because it was what I was used to doing, and I booked it. And then, I booked something right after that was a mini-series that would shoot into the school year. So, at that point, I decided to put off going back to University.

I had just come off of two shows and, in between filming them, I had gone for Eclipse. I read for a different vampire, called Bree, who is a brunette with short, short hair that is 13 years old and completely not me, but I went for the audition just because it was a big project. I can tell you that I've never felt that level of nervousness in an audition room, in my whole career. I had read the books, but it hadn't really sunk in what a huge phenomenon Twilight was. I went into it and it was an important audition, but I wasn't really nervous. I was just focusing on my work, but a lot of people were just so stressed out. I went to the audition room, and then I heard back about the audition that I was wrong for the character, but they wanted me to come back for another vampire that was essentially the same size role and everything, except she had long blonde hair, was extremely pale and was older. So I went in, did one audition and a week later, I got a call and then showed up on set. It was pretty rapid. I only had one audition for it because I'd already auditioned for another character and they'd seen what I could do.

IESB: How secretive were they with you, when you were auditioning? Did you get to read actual scenes?

Kirsten: No. The technique that they used for the audition was that they made the scenes exact transcripts from the book. It was very strange to audition with them because they were written to be read and they weren't adapted yet. They didn't give the screenplay out. So, the audition side was just reading a page of Twilight and reading the lines that were interspersed between the descriptions. That's what it was like. They could never distribute that. Even when I got the job, the secrecy was so high in the Twilight world.

IESB: While you were shooting, did you have any experiences with the paparazzi?

Kirsten: Oh, yeah. The first day that Jackson came into work, he almost tripped on the stairs, coming out of his house, because there were so many photographers that he couldn't even see. The circus around all the trailers and everything was crazy. They had giant black dividers to keep paparazzi out. On the first day, they took down all the signage and blocked everything out. All the actors had to wear bathrobes to cover their wardrobe in between scenes. It was really intense.

I was born and raised in Vancouver, and I've done a lot of film work in Vancouver. I worked with Jennifer Garner on Elektra and there was a lot of paparazzi on that as well. But, Vancouver has changed a lot since Twilight. It's changed the whole media culture there. We didn't used to have paparazzi. You'd get five, tops. And then, on Twilight, all of a sudden it was like, "Where did all these photographers come from?" They were hiding everywhere. There were hundreds, just waiting. It's part of the whole phenomenon of Twilight. You have to just take it as it comes because it's just nuts.

Kristen Prout Interview

Popeater did an interview with Kirsten Prout who plays Lucy (one of the vamps who turns Jasper) in "Eclipse". She spoke about the "New Moon" mania involving all the cast and also about Robsten. Here are the parts where she mentions Rob to read the full interview head over to the source.

So 'New Moon' is breaking records today. Have you felt the mania yet, even though your film hasn't been released yet?

"For sure. I think the real point when I felt complete and utter mania, was when I showed up to the 'New Moon' premiere. And there were fans, this was on Monday, there were fans that had been there since Thursday, camping out in tents. You walk out onto the carpet and your heart just stops, because it's like winding all the way down the street. There are these people who are screaming and they're crying. And Rob (Pattinson) and Taylor (Lautner) and Kristin (Stewart) show up and people are just bawling their eyes out. And you're like, what is going on here? This movie hasn't even come out, but still, I had people just screaming and asking for my autograph. And I get recognized in stores. It just goes to show you that, it's not even out yet and people have done their research already, and you're like, oh my goodness! They're so obsessed!"

I hesitate to even ask this, but what do you think about all the buzz around whether or not Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are a couple?

"Thank you so much for asking it that way. On the red carpet, you should have heard it. The questions that were being asked. But at the end of the day, it's funny. People want to believe that they are a couple so badly, because of the Bella and Edward storyline. It is what it is. When you're in the public eye, people tend to view you as your characters. But people just need to keep in mind that they're both people. And they both have their own dynamic that's completely separate from being a vampire and a human. [laughs] They're two actors...they work in the same industry. They have a lot in common to sort of talk about on set. They certainly get along very well. But the speculation about whether or not they're a couple, I mean, who can really say? It changes every day. The media's opinion on it. I don't know if at any one point it's accurate."

"I think they're handling it very well. They have a lot of fun with it. [laughs] At the end of the day you just have to focus on relationships and be able to laugh about stuff like that...they're very private people. They're extremely private people. And I mean, they'll do what they want and if they're not a couple, they're not a couple. They're just good friends. And if they are a couple, they make an amazing couple. At the end of the day, it is what it is."

Kristen Prout on red carpet for New Moon Premiere

The other Kristen, Kristen Prout, who will be in Eclipse not New Moon in Jasper's backstory - squeeeeee - can't wait!

Kristen Proute speaks about her part as Lucy in Twilight Saga Eclipse

width=300>

LimeLife posted an artcile about Kristen Prout, who plays Lucy in Twilight Saga Eclipse:
Kirsten Prout has finally spoken out about her work on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse as Lucy, the vampire from Jasper (Jackson Rathbone)'s history who doomed herself by her stint of betrayal.

Prout, a veteran of the television series Kyle XY, fits the bill for the character pretty closely. In Eclipse, Lucy is described as tall and blonde, and, as a vampire, she is pale. Prout embodies those characteristics pretty closely in real life, so the physical transition was probably pretty simple.

Prout talked with LimeLife about her character in Eclipse, and she seemed pretty excited about the type of person she'd have to become in order to be Lucy.

She says of her character Lucy, "The character is extremely predatory and what's amazing about playing a vampire is you are a predator and you lure in your prey and then you turn on them" and believes she was partly chosen for the role because of how pale she is! They didn't have to do any air-brushing on her because she's quite pale enough.

Lucy in Eclipse?

I do not know if this is confirmed or what is happening - Until I see it 100% from Twilight Lexicon or someone reliable like that I am hesitant to believe 100%

Also, I thought Jasper's back stories being filmed early on in production meant this part would have been cast and filmed but perhaps not?

According to BD Horror News Canadian actress Kirsten Prout has been cast to play the role of Lucy in the Twilight Saga – Eclipse. Kirsten is best known as Amanda Bloom in Kyle XY.

For those who do not recall who Lucy was, she served Maria (along with Nettie) helping her seek vengeance during the southern Vampire wars. Lucy and Nettie turned on Maria and were in return killed for doing so. Maria was Jasper’s maker, and this is told during Jasper’s back story (when explaining his story to Bella). Jasper describes Lucy as having “lovely and delicate voice” with “fair hair, and her skin was snow white.”

What do you think of their [alleged] choice for Lucy?
