As you know, to pay back the fans for all their support, Peter has set aside some time to answer your questions concerning the filming of Twilight.  Hope you enjoy the information, and look for more some time this week. 

Chelle

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q - Can I ask if you have read all three books?

A - Yes, I have read all three books. I read one each day. They are such quick reads, and I could not them put them down.


Q - One of my favorite Carlisle moments is the beginning of New Moon when he stitches up Bella. His comments just sum up who he is and what he is about.  What is your favorite scene?

A- I would have to agree that the scene where he is stitching Bella up in New Moon is a very powerful and informative scene, and one of my favorites as well.


Q - Does it feel weird to play the father figure when you aren't that much older then the other characters?

A - It is a little wierd playing the father of people who I am not that much older than, but having children myself, and being a father where none of the other "adopted children' do not have children helps me understand Carlisle, and helps me establish myself as paternal figure within the cast. A few of them have even started calling me "dad", which I find amusing.


Q - How do you like Portland?

A - Portland is great. I actually shot the first film I ever did here called FOXFIRE, which starred Angelina Jolie, in one of her first film debuts. So it's kind of like going full circle for me to be here again so many years later.

Thanks again to Twilight Moms for all the amazing support on the film. I hope you enjoy it as much as the book.

You're awesome!! I'm a HUGE fan of the Twilight series, and I've very pleased that they cast you to play Carlisle!! You, along with the rest of the casts, are going to be amazing! I'm counting every second 'til December 12th!

Well, the fact that you've read the books convinces me you'll do wonderfully as Carlisle (well, reinforces that belief, since I already knew you would). So, can't wait until the movie... and until that scene in New Moon (one of my favorites as well)! ... "Dad..." =P

Thanks for answering those questions! We think your going to do a great job as Carlisle!!!

I love that scene with Bella in New Moon too! Looking forward to seeing you help us enjoy that scene all over again.

Thanks for saying nice things about Twilight Moms. We really appreciate it!

From what we hear...it sounds like your "son"- Robert Pattinson needs some love. Will you have a father/son talk with him and let him know we think he's going to do a great job as our Edward! We can't wait to see the both of you on the silver screen!!!

Say hi to your lovely wife!

Hi Peter! I think it is WONDERFUL that you are taking the time to answer questions. This shows that not only can you pull off the hot side of Carlisle... (let's just say Jenny Garth is a lucky woman)... but that you can also pull off the nice side because you are a genuinely caring guy. I have complete faith that one of my favorite Cullens is in your very capable hands.

I have a question for you, and I don't know if someone has already asked you this or not.
Did you read the books BEFORE or AFTER you got the part? What first attracted you to the role of Carlisle? If you read the book BEFORE you got the part, were you confident you could play the part of Carlisle (obviously I think you can as do most fans and as did Catherine Hardwicke and the casting director), but were you confident that you could do the part justice? Does that make any sense?

Anyway hope that makes sense and you answer it, I think it's great that the cast calls you dad, it sounds like you're already getting close which will only help the onscreen portrayal of the Cullen family from one of my all time favorite series Twilight. Thank you so much and I can't wait for December 12, 2008!!!

Thank you, thank you.

You gave the exact answers I was hoping for. You are too kind and perfect :)

I remember Foxfire, but I didn't realize it was filmed in Portland. That is very cool. And we are very happy you are back here.

Thank you so much for taking time out your busy schedule to answer questions for all of us. I really appreciate the fact that you have read all of the books. When you read a book and love it you already have the movie playing in your imagination so I can't wait to see your interpretation of Carlise (he is one of my favorites). I hope that you have a wonderful experience making this movie!

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you'll be playing Carlisle, one of my favorite movies is Can't Hardly Wait, so at last a name that I recognize! (Besides Robert Pattinson... I love Harry Potter as much as I love the Twilight series...)
Good luck!
You'll be a great Carlisle Cullen!

PETER! You sexalicious bag of sex, you!
I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful of a Carlisle you are going to be! You, Rob, Kellan, and Jackson are all absolutely FABULOUS Cullens!
I know Rob has been getting some awful fan mail lately, so when you see him, tell him there are is a stronghold out there that loves him. :] And we love you too.
