Noel Fisher on ‘Breaking Dawn – Part 2′ Pranks with Guri Weinberg
Summit Entertainment’s “New Face Fridays” with the Twilight Fansites was back again this week last week, and this time we get the first member of the Romanian Coven. First we had the chance to hear from Denali Coven members Casey Labow and MyAnna Buring, then Amazon Coven members Judi Shekoni and Tracey Heggins, Egyptian Coven members Rami Malek and Angela Sarayan, Irish vampires Patrick Brennan and Marlane Barnes. Now we have Romanian vampire, Noel Fisher who plays Vladimir:
If you could create your own fan site, what would it be about? What are you really passionate about?
Oh, man, there’s a lot of stuff. I’m kind of all over the place with it. It depends on what I am currently obsessed with. Like right now I am really obsessed with a Showtime series called Homeland that I’m just totally falling for. Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead. Anything that’s fantasy is right up my alley. So anything involving that stuff would be pretty sweet. Breaking Bad is not exactly fantasy, but is another one that I’m pretty into.
Could you share some of your jokes, pranks or experiences with you and Guri [Weinberg] on the set?
The story that comes to mind a lot of the time for me, I was doing a scene where I had to — well, it’s not so much a prank because it wasn’t done on purpose, but I had a scene where I had to kind of squat down for a moment and it was right at the end of the day, and it was literally the last shot of the day and we were trying to wrap and everything. I remember they called, “Rolling!” and then, “Action!” and we started doing our stuff, and I do a squat and I just heard this big rip. I had basically ripped the back of my pants completely open, so everybody got a nice shot of my underwear. So I had to go over to the wardrobe lady and she literally sewed it back up while I was still wearing the pants in between takes. I had to run back out and get it one more time, and it ripped again. That was a good moment!
Did you and Guri try to work together to come up with the Romanian accent, or how did you guys work to make a cohesive Romanian coven?
We both sat down with Bill. That was something — I was just constantly impressed with Bill Condon because he sat down with all of the new covens and new vampires, including the Romanians, and he basically just sat us down and asked us what were we thinking? What were our thoughts on the characters? It was obviously something that we both wanted was to be able to do the accent and to do that in a way that was going to be really interesting and kind of unique. He was totally down for that and we got this dialect coach and came up with this — not a modern Romanian accent because they are so old, it had to be like an amalgamation of ancient Romanion and a lot of influence from the surrounding areas around Romania because they’d been around for so long and you add all of that into it. So we just created our own unique dialect. That was one of the really cool parts about doing the character, something that really helped me fall into the character, getting to put on that accent. I’m really glad that we got to do that.
