Hello PopWatchers! Today was an epic ‘Twilight’ day. Not only did we get to see Bella and Edward in the flesh, along with the climactic ballet studio scene, but I had the wonderful opportunity to interview the one and only Stephenie Meyer (pictured). What a great woman. We chatted all things ‘Twilight,’ from her first reaction to the screaming Comic-Con fans to her thoughts of turning her beloved creation into a Hollywood movie.

She’s amazing. And humble! I agree completely about Rob playing Edward. Surprisingly though, she said the exact opposite of what I thought about Kristen. Even though she’s good actress, she’s no where near how I pictured Bella. And so sounds nothing like the Bella in my head. But if Stephenie’s satisfied then so am I!
Stephnie Meyer is truely incredible to have created a series so powerful and amazing. Thank you so much to EW for posting this for those of us who were unable to go because we live in Australia
so jealous! But I can’t wait for Breaking Dawn. Team Edward don’t let me down!
I know this is so not the point of this video, but I can’t get over how fantastic she looks! She’s always pretty, but she looks especially nice here. Mother of three, unbelievably prolific and successful author, AND super cute…you go, Stephenie!!!
Nicole, what a great interview! Intelligent, relevant… I can’t say enough…. what a treat! Thanks!
Stephenie Meyer is SOOOOOOOOO amazing!!!! Her books are all FANTASTIC!!!!!! The movie looks pretty good… but it will never compare with the books. I don’t love Patterson playing Edward… but maybe when the movie comes out I will be surprised (I hope!).
Very much looking forward to both BD and the theatric release of Twilight. Was personally thrilled with the reception Rob Pattinson got at ComicCon. I don’t think a more perfect Edward could exist and after all of the negative reaction he received initially, it’s time he received some of the adoration he so rightly reserves for being a fine young actor, a humble individual and well, just truly all around beautiful.
Great, great, great interview!!!! I am happy that Stephenie is so pleased with the movie. Anytime an author gives their stamp of approval on a film version of their work, you know it’s going to be good!
I love what she said about Kellan. Although I’m kind of surprised, in the book, Emmett is described as much larger and muscular than he looks in the previews, but I still think he will be great.
I thought she was supposed to answer questions in this interview.
I am a little disappointed.
When I say questions I mean questions about the series people had. Wasn’t she also going to reveal something from Breaking Dawn?
Kaitlyn S., she was going to reveal them on Monday. Not today.
It’s only one out of four, so we’ll have to stay tuned for the breaking Dawn stuff! GREAT INTERVIEW. Wow, Stephenie is just a totally awesome person, isn’t she? I don’t know her, but I’m pretty sure I love her. XD This is so great
It’s not often we hear Stephenie speak actuallt, and well, Stephenie speaking is the closest you can get to Twilight X).Thank you for this interview!
I’m so glad that Stephenie is so pleased with how the book plays out. That’s all I really wanted. I’m so reassured now that the book will be amazing. One week everybody!
I think Kellan was the only one that initially when I saw the cast I was excited about – the rest have grown on me.
I am bummed about that Midnight Sun will be the only one from Edward’s point of view. As depressing as things maybe, it would be a great read.
I’m wondering if she would pick up stories about the others. We got little background information on everyone – how they became they way they were – but spinoff some folks. Ok, I’m being selfish…
Thanks Nicole for the interviews.
I was 3 rows form the stage and it was awesome!! They are all beautiful!! I was pretty mad about the one person that asked if they wore boxers or briefs and asked Kristen if she knew!? You could tell that Kristen was uncomfortable!! I felt bad!! That lady was rediculous!
I think that it was a great interview and I love the Kristen playing Bella i think they did a great job on that on and Rob is a good Edward too. And Kellan is a good Emmett they pick all great people to play the parts. I cant wait tell Breaking Dawn comes out….. I am a BIG FAN…
That was great thanks for the interview. I’m a big fan of the books! I’ve got EW’s July 18 issue (I think it’s the 18) and i’ve learned alot about Breaking Dawn and the movie. I also got penelope and that was a great sneak peak. The scene was very true to the book. I’m spending all my time on Stephenie’s website it is great that she has that for the fans. I think we should give her husband and kids a big thanks for letting us take their wife and mother to us to give us the greatest story EVER! ONLY 7 MORE DAYS TILL BREAKING DAWN!!!
PS The cast is great. I was so sure about Nikki Reed as Rosalie but she has grown on me.
PSS Thanks to Summit Entertainment for bring the true story to the big screen!

I think that Stephenie is a TOTAL Genius. I loved all of her books and it really hurts me too when someone hates Jacob. I LOVE Edward and I LOVE Jacob. Just like Stephenie I am Team Switzerland! Great interview!
I think that Stephenie is doing great on her books. I love her website too. She is my favorite author and she desreves the best. I agree with her on Kristen and Rob. I didn’t know about Kellan Lutz either, but he is totally hot! So is Rob Pattinson, Jackson Rathbone, Cam Gigandet, Peter Facinelli, the totally and absolutely sexy Taylor Lautner, and pretty much all of the rest of the guys in the cast!
THANK YOU SO MUCH EW for posting that Stephenie Meyer interview! I would have quit my job here in Ohio to travel to San Deigo to go to the Comic-con if I didn’t like being NOT poor so much.. lol
I am really sad that Mrs. Meyer confirmed that Midnight Sun will be the only version on Edwards point of veiw that we will get!! The book i was most interested in his point of view was New Moon! For me its like…who cares if i get physically ill because of how sad it is…edward has alot of explaining to do about things that stem from New Moon and Bella doesnt make him explain anything!! I love Stephenie and Edward and Bella and i dont want their story to end, so hopefully there will be enough ppl like me that keep asking for more of edwards point of view and maybe just maybe she will be willing to continue his books!
ps im going to flip out when breaking dawn comes out!!
Thanks for the interview EW and Stephenie Meyer. I got a few of my questions answered. I’m so excited for breaking dawn! Seven days and counting!

i agree. i really wanted to see edwards point of view for new moon, mostly because he wasnt in it like at all. i wanted to know more about what happend in italy. and what first went through his mind when he heard bella jumped off the cliff. i would really really really like to see that, although i am also looking forward to hearing his side of the story on when they were first together in biology. i think that will be very interesting. but his point of view in new moon, if that book was ever written, i do believe it will sell just as well as the other 5 books. i love stephenie meyer for bringing twilight into my life, and although my friends think im a little too obsessed i really cant help it. the characters are just so well put together and the plot is just so amazing. p.s bella can have edward i want emmett and his hugs (: what i would do for a friend who could give hugs like emmett. p.s.s BREAKING DAWN IN 7 DAYS! im so excited. thanks steph twilight is amazing
To all of you who are craving new moon from Edwards point of view, go to Stephenie’s website http://www.StephenieMeyer.com, she has a couple short stories posted that is the fateful phone call from both Edward’s and Rosalie’s point of view.
AH! Can’t wait 7 days. Tooo. Loong. But then again I’ll be very, very sad when I am done.
Btw, I am sooo glad that they kept Kellan. I love Stephenie even more now, if that is possible. 12/12 better come fast! Yay Twilight! (turning my nerd switch off)
omgg omgg omggg OMGGG im so exctied for the book this interview was great!!
except EXTREMLY depressing at times to find out that she will not be writing the whole “twilight” series over again in edwards point of veiw..i feel that she should because unlike what she said about how it would be too painful to write the second book in his perspective i think it would be an amzing experience and would help more people to side with edward and not jacob because then we could more clearly understand edwards reasons for leaving bella in the first place witch i dont think are ever clearly said in the book.. so i really hope that stephenie changes her mind and writes the books over again is edwards view!! it will give me something and alot of others to look forward to in the future!! reconsider! =]
