AceShowbiz - One of the major plots in the highly-anticipated "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" is the complex love triangle between Bella, Jacob and Edward. Recently, two of its leading stars, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, have addressed issues surrounding it with MTV, including the heartbreak and breakups.
Sharing about breakup in the movie, Stewart admitted that shooting it was tough. "Yeah, and just like everything in our movie, it's such a heightened version of reality. It's like, people don't just break up [in the 'Twilight' films] - they break up and it literally kills you. It's not like you just say, 'Oh, I'm really depressed and crying.' Everything is supposed to be a fantasy version of that," explained the 19-year-old.
Lautner then chimed in revealing that this second "Twilight" movie will deal with many heartbreak. "['New Moon'] is very complicated. There's a lot of heartbreak, there's a lot of things going on. Edward leaves at the beginning, she goes into this depression, I come to try and bring her out of it," he said. "Then I go through my own issues, and then she leaves me. It's all over the place, and there's a lot going on, and there's many of those scenes that you described."
When asked about the favorite scene to shoot, Lautner pointed out on the so-called breakup scene between Bella and Jacob. "My favorite one was - well, we call it the breakup scene - but it's the scene right after she sees me shirtless and I've cut off my hair, all different for the first time. I have to tell her that we can't be friends anymore," the 17-year-old hunk shared which was quickly responded by Stewart with, "He attempts to break up with me - but it doesn't work out."
Targeting a November 20 U.S. release, "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" is penned by "Twilight Saga" screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and directed by "The Golden Compass" helmer Chris Weitz. It centers on Bella Swan. Devastated by the abrupt departure of Edward Cullen, she finds herself drawn into the world of the werewolves, ancestral enemies of the vampires, and her loyalties tested as her relationship with Jacob grows.
