As Cullen family ringleader Carlisle, Peter Facinelli has faced off with the Volturi, rallied his clan to keep Bella and Edward safe and, in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1, walks a tightrope trying to keep Bella unharmed during her unexpected pregnancy. Facinelli talked with Movieline about working with writer/director Bill Condon and Stephenie Meyer on the final two films and the daunting task of shooting them — at the junket for the film earlier in the day, Facinelli was still marveling at the screenplay’s heft.
So the script for Breaking Dawn was 250 pages?
I remember getting the two scripts, and it was very intimidating. The two scripts stacked up together, it was like War and Peace, and you’re sitting there going, ‘Wow, we’ve got to shoot all that.’ So it was intimidating in that way, but you just take it one day at a time.
As the cast grew you maybe had less screen time and also the stakes are higher, so you have to cram in this massive story. How was that a challenge for you?
For me, Carlisle was established in Twilight, so it wasn’t like the character goes through these great emotional arcs where he changes into something else by the end of these films. It’s a matter of him going through different experiences. So these dramatic things are happening to him and his family, and how is he dealing with it? So the challenge was playing each scene, scene by scene, how is he dealing with trying to keep the family together in a time where it’s divided where half the family wants to keep the baby and the other half wants not…
