Twilight Eclipse

Twilight Eclipse actress Jodelle Micah Ferland admitted she wasnt up to speed on the twilight saga but that has all changed as she has managed to get a major role in the upcoming latest movie Twilight Eclipse

Since seeing the first film with a few friends and auditioning for the movie, she has borrowed and read all four books.

“I hadn’t heard much about Twilight Eclipse when it first came out,” she said in a recent interview from her home in  Vancouver.

“I’m home-schooled so sometimes I don’t hear about things like that. But my friends were all freaking out about Twilight and I was like ‘What’s that?’”

“Now I know what it is obviously,” she laughed.

“I got about 2,000 new followers on the first day,” she said — from young actor to global phenomenon with the flick of a switch.

“I got Twitter just a couple of weeks ago and I had 136 followers and I was like ‘Wow, I have 136 followers,’” she said. “And then the Twilight Eclipse news came out and we checked and it was 800 and something right away.”

“I started freaking out, I couldn’t believe it.”

The young actress has been working in film and television since the age of two,  first film was  at the age of four (Mermaid) and playing the lead in a suspense thriller (Silent Hill). She has worked with Renee Zellweger, appeared on Late Night With Conan O’Brien and just wrapped The Cabin in the Woods written by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Drew Goddard (Lost), but nothing of the magnitude of the Twilight saga.

“I’m so excited,” giggled Ferland. “It’s not that I didn’t think I would get the role, it’s just that things like this never happen. I’m still having a hard time believing it.”

Eclipse will be Ferland’s second time working with Twilight Eclipse star Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella Swan, the mortal teen who falls for vampire Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson.

Stewart and Ferland aslo starred in the movie The Messengers, a film about children who can see  supernatural horrors. Ferland admits she is often cast in mostly horror films and television shows with a ghostly edge. Indeed, her list of acting credits is as long as her arm.

“I’ve never played a vampire before so I am really excited about that,” she said.

“I’m not allowed to say, but I can tell you I am playing a newborn vampire,” she confirmed. “But I’m not a newborn, I’m newly turned; some people don’t get that.”

“I don’t know, but that would be fun,” she said.

“Usually I read the script before I take a role, but I haven’t read this one,” she explained. “It’s Twilight Eclipse, of course I’m going to take it.”

“Some people say that would be so great to be famous and have people ask for your autograph and that does happen in acting if you get really famous,” she said. “I can’t say it’s something I’m looking forward to, but I won’t hide.”
