Eclipse¡¯s Stewart and Lautner Fly to Korea

I bet most of you¡¯ve heard about the Twilight series. Many people have been eagerly awaiting the third installment of the book-to-film phenomenon, which will debut next month. Yet if that wasn¡¯t exciting enough here is something really special: the two leading characters, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, visited Korea! The Teen Times paid a visit to the press conference held at Dynasty Hall in Silla Hotel, Seoul on June 3.

The Twilight saga, which was originally released in book form consists of four parts; Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Down. To promote the release of the third movie the two Hollywood stars paid a special visit to Seoul. They were met by hearty cheers from the journalists who awaited them at the press conference, giving thoughtful answers to the barrage of questions that followed.

Both of them showed expectations and interests in Korean culture, despite being on a tight schedule. ¡°I was really impressed by so many people welcoming us at the airport. I don¡¯t know a lot about Korea but the ¡®Bibimbab¡¯ that I had on the airplane was so delicious, I want to try it once more before going back,¡± Lautner explained with regards to their first impressions of Korea.

When asked about the new film Lautner explained, ¡°It is a story for everyone. It has action, romance, suspense, everything. I truly believe that the story is universal.¡± He added, ¡°The pressure from the success of the two previous movies encouraged everyone on the set to work harder.¡±

The first two Twilight movies, released in 2009, hit record highs in the movie industry.

With the third installment it is the love triangle between Bella (Stewart), Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob (Lautner) that will surely capture the imagination of many. These conflicting relationships are set to reach a peak in Eclipse, as Stewart explained; ¡°Bella and Jacob kiss on top of a mountain, without knowing that Edward is watching them. It is the most memorable scene.¡± The actress added that she felt the same way about love as her character does, and is reluctant to take the easy way with love and relationships.

After the first film in the series Lautner dropped many jaws by building an impressive muscle mass. The grueling training that followed was necessary in order to keep up with the physical changes that his character Jacob goes through in the story.

Naturally the star had to deal with a lot of questions regarding his physique. ¡°It was a lot of work crammed into about a year. Right now I¡¯m finding it is just as hard to maintain what I put on in the first place¡± he said. This constant struggle for physical perfection was aptly demonstrated by his request for a hotel with full gym facilities for the duration of their two day visit to Korea.

Eclipse is due to hit Korean theatres on July 8. The third installment of the Twilight saga is set to take you into a fantasy world of unparalleled potential, filled with dynamic, colorful images, and even more intense thrills. So if you get a chance to see Eclipse, don¡¯t hesitate as it already looks set to be the hottest movie of the summer. After all, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner¡¯s spell binding performances await!
