SEGN.com has an exclusive audio interview with Julia Jones:

Some highlights include:

✩ On Vanessa Hudgens rumored to be auditioning as Leah: “No. No truth to that.”

Audition Process: “It wasn’t too tricky. David really spent some time working on the character with me.”

When she found out she got the role: “Maybe the last day of July”

On reading the books: “I got very obsessive and went through all 4 of them. In the last week and a half, I’ve read the first 3. I just finished Eclipse today. I think the books are incredible. Stephenie Mayer managed to capture a level of humanity, especially with Bella’s character. Her inner thoughts are the similar thoughts you’ve ha d in similar situations but they’re so deep down, ones that you sometimes don’t even admit to yourself.”

Starts shooting: mid-September

In the rest of the interview, Julia discusses not meeting the cast yet, and more about her fav parts of the book, how she’s prepared and more. In Part 2, she goes more in-depth about her character, Breaking Dawn, filming in Vancouver, and how she is preparing for this Twilight madness. Plus, she answers fan questions! Stay tuned.

    everyone says the same thing when asked about the books. obviously she’s going to say she loved it and was hooked. she’s not going to bash it now that she’s in the movie.

  • Jun:

    She’s not a good Leah at all. I dont like Vanessa hudgens,but she may have been a teensy bit better.

    I suppose I shouldnt judge,until I’ve seen her hair cut,or a short wig on her. ^^

  • TAYLORLAUTNERLOVER:

    I agree with Jacqueline! Duh, you can’t really bash it now that your in it. You can’t really trust them if they say they like it or not. But I guess you can tell if their a fan if their really pumped about the movie. I just don’t really like this girl. I don’t know what it is about her, but I just don’t like her at all. BUT I LOVE SETH! Just not her…

  • Alice_fan 1:

You’re really not that good a mechanic, Edward. Maybe you should have Rosalie take a look at it tonight, just so you look good if Mike decides to let you help, you know. Not that it wouldn’t be fun to watch his face if Rosalie showed up to help. — Bella Swan, Eclipse | Chapter 2
