"When you put your heart and soul into something as intense as the duration of a film production, you become completely lost in it. You
focus on doing your very best to get it right each day and you work on
this for so long that you assume an ownership of it.
When shooting The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, I always felt an awareness of
how many people this film would reach and as a result, knew that this
film did not just belong to myself, the producers and the studio, but
more so, to all of you, the fans of The Twilight Saga.
At the end of the day, after all the hard work is done, all that's left
is the film itself, and your overwhelmingly positive and supportive
responses have made me feel like we must have done something right. As a
filmmaker, this is a rare and strange feeling of connection with an
audience of which I will never forget and I thank you all for it."

USA Today - Xavier Samuel rising star
USA Today writes:
When Australian actor Xavier Samuel shipped off an audition tape to Twilight producers, insta-fame seemed oceans away.
"It's kind of strange because you send them off into oblivion and you don't know if anyone watches them," says Samuel, 26.
That was last year.
Fast-forward to the Eclipse premiere, where thousands of fans are not only screaming but are screaming for him. "It's kind of 360 degrees of hysteria," Samuel says just hours before the Los Angeles premiere of the third film installment of Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster series. "The sound (of Twilight's fans) does really knock you off your feet."
BOX OFFICE: Nothing outshines 'Eclipse'
Samuel steals not only the first five minutes of one of most anticipated movies of the summer, but much of its finale. He plays newborn vampire Riley Biers, who, alongside vengeful vamp Victoria, leads a bloodthirsty army of young vampires with one goal: killing human Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and those who protect her.
Hailing from Adelaide, he now joins Hollywood's short list of hot young Aussie men in the spotlight, including brothers Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek) and Liam Hemsworth (The Last Song), and Sam Worthington (Avatar).
There was only one problem en route to the Eclipse set.
"I was going through the book going, where's Riley?" says Samuel, whose character gets a major upgrade in the screenplay version of Eclipse. But director David Slade slipped him an early top-secret copy of Meyer's recent novella, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, in which Riley and Victoria's relationship is more deeply explained.

Jack Huston in Details Magazine
“With a breakout role in Martin Scorsese’s new project, the 27-year-old Brit proves he’s got more than Hollywood good looks and a famous last name (as in Grandpa John and Aunt Anjelica)—he also has a legitimate knack for the family business.
Details: In The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, you play the former fiancĂ© of Edward’s sister, Rosalie. How did you land the part?
Jack Huston: I auditioned for another part—a newborn vampire—and kind of shocked the producers. I acted like a junkie. I hadn’t slept the night before and had drunk lots of coffee. Everyone was like, “Um, a little too edgy.” But they liked me enough to offer me this part instead.”

Mandy's Mind - Also in the Eclipse Movie companion they talk about how Jack's hair was long for another role so they slicked it back and stuck a fedora on him for his wandering through the ark with Rosalie. I looked at that scene again and you totally can't even tell.
