Starrymag entrevisto a Christian Serratos sobre twilight:
ENTREVISTA EN INGLES:
Q. What are some of the recent projects you've been working on?
A. I just have been focusing on Twilightactually, we just got done filming that. That's been my main thing that I've been working on.
Q. What can you tell us about the premise for Twilight and about your character?
A. Twilight is based off of a book by Stephenie Meyer and it's a group of four books based on a girl named Bella who is a human that falls in love with a vampire. My character is Angela, she's one of Bella's friends in school and she's a human girl. The book basically goes back and forth between two worlds, the human world with Bella at school with her friends, and the vampire world which is Edward Cullen who she falls in love with and his family of vampires.
Q. How much does the movie compare and contrast with the book series?
A. It's pretty much identical, everything that the fans want to see happen in the movie, happens. They're going to get to see the main exciting things that they got from the book.
Q. What is it about the film that drew you to want to be a part of it?
A. I heard about the books before I started filming but I didn't get a chance to read them. When I found out that they were casting for the movie I read all of the books and I just fell completely and totally in love. I understand why people are so infatuated with this book. It's absolutely just epic and it's really just intriguing and everyone wants to be a part of this. I am really thankful that I got a chance to work on it.
Q. Were you able to draw from the books for your portrayal of Angela?
A. I think that everybody who read the book on set really used it to help them. It's not as if you're going into a film with the idea of a character, you literally have it right in front of you. You can research and it's easy to research because you have the books right there for you to go and get and read.
Q. Was there anything about the role that was challenging?
A. I wouldn't say that it was so challenging, I think the only thing that really kind of game me a hard time was wanting to please all of the fans. I know they have really high expectations and I know how much this book and these characters. For me, it was just about pleasing the fans of the book.
Q. How was getting to work with the director Catherine Hardwicke?
A. So amazing, that was one thing I was really looking forward to because I have seen all of her movies and she's very creative and the mood of all of her movies is really fantastic. I had always wanted to work with her and finding out that I got was incredible. Actually doing it was completely different, it was out of this world. She's so much fun and she makes you feel like you've known her forever. It's like she's the cool aunt or something.
Q. Did the chemistry with the cast come naturally or did it take some time to develop?
A. I think everybody just came to set already knowing the people because before we even started filming everyone knew about each other and what we worked on just because the fans are always talking. I think we all came to set like we already knew each other.
Q. Do you have a really memorable moment from filming?
A. Oh they were all pretty memorable! There is a scene with me and Anna Kendrick in a dress shop and they were just quick little scenes for editing and I don't think anyone really knew what we were doing. We just kind of had fun with it and play with it and I just think we had a really good time in that dress shop. I mean, looking at all of those dresses and throwing Anna in and out of dresses and I had this really cool purple dress on and I had glitter all over me. I don't know how I had glitter on me because nobody put glitter on me, but it was on me and I couldn't get it off, I think it was on the dress.
Q. What would you like to say to your fans and supporters?
A. A big, fat thank you! I am so happy that these fans are actually interested, I think it's really cool that they're interested in what I'm doing. Not even that, just interested in something that I happen to be doing, that's really cool. I'm just really excited to be a part of something like this.
ENTREVISTA EN ESPAÑOL:
Q: ¿Cuáles son algunos de los proyectos en los que has trabajado recientemente?
A: Me he estado concentrando en Crepúsculo, acabamos de terminar de rodar. Eso ha sido en lo que más me he centrado.
Q: ¿Qué puedes decirnos de Crepúsculo y tu personaje?
A: Crepúsculo está basado en el libro de Stephenie Meyer y es una saga de cuatro libros sobre una humana llamada Bella que se enamora de un vampiro. Mi personaje es Angela, una de las amigas del instituto de Bella, y es humana. El libro oscila entre dos mundos, el mundo humano de Bella en el instituto con sus amigos y el mundo de los vampiros, con Edward Cullen, de quien se enamora, y su familia de vampiros.
Q: ¿Cómo se compara y contrasta la película con la saga?
A: Se parece mucho, todo lo que los fans quieren que pase en la película, pasa. Se verán las principales cosas emocionantes del libro.
Q: ¿Qué tiene la película que te hizo querer formar parte de ella?
A: Había oído de los libros, pero no había tenido la oportunidad de leerlos. Cuando me enteré de que estaban haciendo el casting los leí todos y me enamoré de ellos. Comprendo por qué la gente está tan loca con los libros. Es simplemente épico y tan intrigante que todos quieren formar parte de esto. Estoy muy agradecida por tener la oportunidad de formar parte de esto.
Q: ¿Te sirvieron los libros para representar a Angela?
A: Creo que todos los del set que han leído el libro obtuvieron ayuda de ellos. No es como si fueras a filmar con la idea del personaje, sino que literalmente la tienes delante de ti. Es fácil investigar sobre ellos porque tienes los libros ahí para leerlos.
Q: ¿Tuviste algún desafío con tu personaje?
A: Diría que un gran desafío. Creo que lo que me costó fue tratar de agradar a todos los fans. Sé que tienen grandes expectativas. Para mí, todo trataba de complacer a los fans.
Q: ¿Cómo fue trabajar con la directora Catherine Hardwicke?
A: Fue increíble, esa es una de las cosas que deseaba porque he visto todas sus películas y ella es muy creativa; el humor de sus películas es fantástico. Siempre he querido trabajar con ella y lograr hacerlo fue increíble. Ella es muy divertido y te hace sentir como si la conocieras desde siempre. Es como una tía guay o algo.
Q: ¿La química entre los personajes surgió de forma natural o llevó algún tiempo?
A: Creo que todos los del set se conocían porque antes de que comenzáramos a filmar lo sabíamos todo sobre todos y en qué habíamos trabajado porque los fans siempre están hablando. Creo que todos llegamos al set como si ya nos conociéramos.
Q: ¿Tienes algún recuerdo memorable del rodaje?
A: Todos son memorables. Tengo una escena con Anna Kendrick en una tienda de vestidos, y nos lo pasamos muy bien allí. Mirar todos esos vestidos y probármelos con Anna... Además, tuve ese vestido púrpura tan guay y me llené de purpurina. No sé como acabé así porque nadie me la echó, creo que estaba en el vestido.
Q: ¿Qué te gustaría decir a tus fans y a los que te apoyan?
A: ¡Muchísimas gracias! Estoy muy feliz del interés de los fans, creo que es muy guay que se interesen por lo que hago. Estoy muy emocionada por formar parte de algo como esto.
