AceShowbiz - Alex Meraz has gone too far with Kristen Stewart during "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" shooting. On Saturday, August 29, the second day of Summit and Creation Entertainment's official "Twilight" convention at New Jersey, the actor who plays Paul in this "Twilight" sequel and his co-star Chaske Spencer revealed that Meraz was overly aggressive while filming a confrontation scene with the Bella Swan's depicter.
The scene was supposed to be a simple confrontation between Bella and the wolf pack. However, when dissolving into his part, Meraz played the scene overly aggressive by screaming, grabbing Stewart by the throat and hurtling his line at her. But apparently, director Chris Weitz did not agree with Meraz's take on the scene as the actor was halted by the filmmaker.
"Chris Weitz comes off-set like, 'Yeah, I like the energy Alex, but just take it down a little,' " Spencer, the depicter of Sam Uley, helped his co-star recalling the shooting process which involved Meraz and Stewart. "Meanwhile the producers are freaking out back there." Meraz jokingly added, "'Cause nobody touches Kristen Stewart."
The official "Twilight" convention was kicked off on Friday, August 28. Gil Birmingham who plays Billy Black, Edi Gathegi who stars as vampire Laurent, and the depicter of Eric Yorkie, Justin Chon, appeared at the event in addition to Meraz and Spencer. Meanwhile, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz, who were slated to attend, pulled out earlier this week due to the filming of "The Twilight Saga's Eclipse".
"The Twilight Saga's New Moon" has Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart back to reprise their roles as Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. The story centers on Bella, who is devastated by the abrupt departure of her vampire lover Edward Cullen but her spirit is rekindled by her growing friendship with the irresistible Jacob Black. Suddenly she finds herself drawn into the world of the werewolves, ancestral enemies of the vampires, and finds her loyalties tested. The movie will be released in the U.S. on November 20.
