Hollywood Life: What can’t this star do? At just 22-years-old, she’s gorgeous, a great actress, and a talented writer who’s already working on her second screenplay!
Before she was playing vampire Roaslie Hale opposite Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in the Twilight saga, 14-year-old Nikki Reed penned the screenplay and starred in the well-received movie Thirteen. Although she’s busy gearing up to film Breaking Dawn, when we saw her at the launch of the Swatch new gents collection at the Gansevoort Park Avenue on Oct. 6 in NYC, she said she’s also working on her second screenplay!
“I’m writing it now,” she said when asked if she planned to penn another movie. “It’s going to be a drama, not a romantic comedy.”
Considering how good Thirteen was, now that the intelligent actress is older I’m sure her second movie will be widely well-received — although the star was totally down to earth when we asked her about the project. “I hope it gets to a place that you’ll be able to see it,” she said. I completely agree, Nikki — although I’m sure I’m not the only one looking forward to it!
OK! caught up with Nikki Reed last night, and the Twilight beauty dished on all the details of Breaking Dawn filming! First stop — not Vancouver. “We’re heading to New Orleans first, in just over a week,” Nikki told OK! exclusively at the Swatch New Gents launch. She also shared some set traditions and what her co-stars enjoy when they have a break from shooting!
So first stop is Louisiana and from the sound of it Nikki is exciting for a good “set” cooked meal from co-star Peter Facinelli!
“Well Peter’s like a chef – a super chef. He makes a mean pasta with a vodka sauce,” Nikki shares. “Everyone is so different and the nice thing is we spend a fair amount of time apart even when we’re working, so it never gets weird or funny. Jackson brings his whole band when we’re shooting and they do their thing, Elizabeth and I go to the gym and do fun stuff like that.”
So what about Kristen Stewart?
“Kristen does her thing,” Nikki told OK!.
K-Stew probably wants to spend some alone time with on/off screen boyfriend Robert Pattinson.
Besides working out, Nikki will be extra busy this time around, as she plans to take classes!
“I’m going to school actually while we’re shooting. I’m taking a couple of courses. I’m talking five, but I was just told that two are unavailable so I’m waiting to see. I’m taking a language course, I’m taking a writing course, I’m really trying to take a Greek mythology course and a psychology course. There’s so many prerequisites for this psychology. ”
As for her routine between takes, Nikki said, “I always try to stay productive and do things that I feel nourish the brain.”
“I produced a movie a few years ago that just came out with my best friend DJ Coles and things other than shopping and reading weeklies — not that you’re not lovely,” she continued.
Nikki is very excited to begin filming, but she didn’t have the script in her hands until last week!
“It looks really fantastic. I didn’t know how it was going to happen, how much they’d separate from the book, but it’s all there, it’s great. All the really comic moments that Jacob and I have together are all in there. And also, she [Rosalie] really is a sympathetic character in a sense. You get to really understand why she’s been the way she’s been.”
“And to see her interact with a child — if I do it the right way, let’s cross our fingers that I portray it accurately – it’s kind of a really intense bond that we have that I think is really relatable. I’m look forward to humanizing her a bit, if you know what I mean. Wink wink.”
As for the highly anticipated birth scene, Nikki shared, “It’s intense.”
“Once again, it’s going to be a whole other thing to see visually. We have the book and then the transition to the script.”
We can’t wait!
MTV: Hot off the not-so-surprising news made by "Twilight" godmother Stephenie Meyer—Mackenzie Foy will play Renesmee—we have more "Breaking Dawn" dish. Courtesy of MTV's "The Seven," who recently caught up with Nikki Reed at a NYC event, the actress teased that she's finally received the script, and that her scenes with a certain hot-blooded co-star are quite "entertaining."
"We start shooting soon and we just got the script a few days ago, so that's exciting," Nikki revealed. "They really do capture the essence of the books and the story and they're very faithful, and I think what the studio, as well as the actors and the writers, have all sort of realized is that's the success of this, the origin [a.k.a Stephenie's source material] is obviously where the success came from," she said. "So we would be sort of silly to stray away from that."
Nikki went on to say that her character's interactions with Jacob (Taylor Lautner) definitely stand-out.
"I have to say that in 'Breaking Dawn,' Jacob and Rosalie have an especially... their relationship is pretty unique," she said with a smile. (Fans of the book know that Rosalie and Jacob have a few very heated interactions regarding the birth of Renesmee.) "It's quite entertaining."
We think those scenes will definitely be fun to watch, especially given the fact that Nikki has already expressed how much she enjoys her younger co-star.
"I love Taylor so much and I'm so proud of him and what he's doing," Nikki told us back in August.
