Whenever I think of Twilight, I usually picture a long line of rabid psuedo-goth girls waiting impatiently for a glimpse of Robert Pattinson as he exits a Starbucks. Not that a line of goth chicks is a horrible picture (actually I kinda like it…), but it does convey Twilight’s problem: how to appeal to dudes?
“There’s more fighting and that should appeal to the boys,” The Twilight Saga: New Moon director Chris Weitz told Empire magazine. “There is also a male character, Jacob [played by Taylor Lautner], who is inherently a more viable character for most boys because he’s like an ordinary guy.”
Weitz adds that glittery cookie loving (not a double entendre…or is it?) Edward only appeals to “perfect” men and metrosexuals. “[Jacob] works on cars, whereas Edward is a perfect man, and maybe he only appeals to perfect men. That makes the demographic rather small! So there’s more of a way into this one – we do hope to up the male demographic!
Word on the street is that New Moon will have lots of fighting. You know, crap us guys care a lot about.
“The effects are going to be great on that part of the movie,” said Weitz as he left. “Oh, one last thing, I was so joking, New Moon is straight up for the ladies. Jacob is naked during the entire production. Yeah, it was awkward for a bit but we all got used to it. What we didn’t get used to was Javier, the food cart guy. Homie was pant-less…and underwear-less when he served us scrambled eggs. If Kristen Stewart wasn’t dating Robbie, she told me that she would ‘fix his ferris wheel like a drugged-out fairy’…I don’t know what that means either.”
New Moon enters U.S. theaters on November 20th.
