STARLIT NEWS ORIGINAL!
Elle was lucky enough to get an e-mail interview with rising star Justin Chon who will be appearing in the movie "Twilight," coming out in December. He plays Eric Yorkie, and answers some questions about the movie, the books, and his experience playing Eric.
Q: You've been in The O.C., Just Jordan, and Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior, so you're not new to the younger audiences. What was it like
working with stars like Rachel Bilson and Brenda Song? Do you keep in
touch with them?
"I had a lot of fun working with all those people. I try to keep in touch with people I work with but it gets hard to."
Q: How did you react when you found out you were going to play Eric
Yorkie in the...

...Twilight movie?
"I was ecstatic."
Q: The movie contains a lot of rainy scenes. What was it like filming?
"I have to say it was pretty hard, but we all managed to still have a good time."
Q: You're working alongside stars like Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Did you spend any time together as a cast before filming?
"No, we pretty much met on set."
Q: What was the most surprising thing on set?

Q: Have you read all of the books?
"I have now read all the books."
Q: Are you more of a vampire or werewolf person?
"I'm a more vampire person."
Q: Changing the book to screen requires a lot of careful adapting. Was there a change you thought was better in the script as opposed to the book?
"I couldn't really tell you. I think they did an amazing job adapting it."
Q: A lot of people had their own images of what the characters are
like. Did you feel any pressure to portray Eric as he is in the book?
"Not really, I just went with my instinct and played him as real as possible. I didn't want to play him like a caricature."
Q: You've mentioned that your father was an actor in South Korea. Do
you speak Korean?
"Yes, i speak fluent korean."

"I would definitely like to drive Bella's truck."
Q: Are you prepared for the amount of attention that'll follow come December?
"I really can't tell how crazy it will be. I guess I'll just take it day by day."
Q: Any news on a sequel?
"You guys would know better than I would :)"

Very short answers, not real exiting!
Seriously, they really were short answers. He needs to get more dynamic with them, talk about things that happen to you in more detail. he want to be able to know more, but we don't.

Yeah, VERY short. At first I thought they just made up his answers, 'cause it was very predictable. But I'd like to actually SEE him in an interview, and see if he's different there. 'Cause this, honestly, seems very unreal. X) I like him still, though. X)
the answers are only short because he will not be aloud to say much on the movie because he would of signed a contract.
good work ... great goin... visit mine...link1
that was a really cool interview!
his answers were short and sweet :]
haha yeah he's a pretty cool actor and he's gonna be a big star one day,...i think! =]
