As promised, here is the early edition of the paper’s Sunday story on ‘Twilight.’ Times writer Gina McIntyre spent a sunny afternoon -- read: scorching hot at 100 degrees F -- with the actors who play three Cullen sibs: Robert Pattinson (Edward), Kellan Lutz (Emmett) and Nikki Reed (Rosalie).
She learned about Robert’s ‘embarrassing’ on-set injury...
For the movie’s action sequences, the actors experimented with stunts and wire work, which Pattinson admits did not play to his strengths. ‘I got injured on the first shot of the first day,’ he said. ‘I wasn’t even doing a stunt. I was just trying to pick up Kristen and I almost tore my hamstring because I hadn’t been doing enough squats. It was very embarrassing.’
...and what the boys did to wind down...
‘When we did have those hard days,’ added Lutz, 23, ‘we would go back to Rob’s room. He had a couple of guitars in there and a lot of great music. It was really fun being able to relax and have the cast come together, having that time just to bond and not really be actors but friends.’

And I have more good news! I just confirmed that I will be talking to RPattz himself Election Day Tuesday. I’d like to devote that Q&A strictly to the best questions I get from you guys, the fans. I won’t be able to ask every single one submitted, but rest assured I’ll select a most representative bunch. Once again, fire away!
Also, don’t forget to check back in tomorrow to find out who won last Saturday’s Caption This contest, and to participate in the next.
