Lefevre Hints at Parallel Plot: Love Triangle / Victoria on Hunt


The more interviews I read with New Moon cast members, the more I get the gut feeling that the New Moon movie will have a sort of parallel plotline that gives Bella’s perspective and Victoria’s perspective. It certainly hints at this with the last scene of Twilight–and the same screenwriter is writing both movies. Rachelle Lefevre hints to this in a new interview–

“The books are all from Bella’s point of view,” she told me. “So there are things in New Moon that get talked about and are referred to, but don’t get described. Victoria spends all of New Moon trying to get to Bella. As a result, she fights werewolves and has encounters. They’ve basically tried to show more for the film. We want to keep the love triangle going, but we’ve kept more of the dark action, vampire-y stuff to keep those fans happy.”

Coupled with the “flittering images” of Edward Cullen that Ashley Greene mentioned , it seems that we’re closer to understanding what they’ll be shining a spotlight on in the movie. I wouldn’t be upset if this was the case–film is a very different medium than print, and the movie doesn’t need to be strictly first-person perspective like the book is.
