Nikki Reed on Rosalie, changing directors, and Heath Ledger

Posted on 15. Nov, 2009 by Amanda31 in News

Phillyburbs.com has posted about their phone interview with Nikki, where the actress talks about the potential difficulty in switching directors between Twilight and New Moon:.

“I never had an experience like this, where I had worked with a director (Hardwicke) and developed a character and then worked with a new director (Weitz) coming in,” she says. “It did flow, and it wasn’t a bad thing, because I like collaborating.

“It (changing directors) could have been a painful process, but I really enjoy listening to what people say.”

Nikki also talks about working with the late Health Ledger on Lords of Dogtown in 2005.

“He was really an angel,” says Reed, who plans on moving behind the camera to produce and direct in the future. “I was 15 or 16 when we shot ‘Lords.’

“Being young and exposed to so many people in an adult world, you tend to feel intimidated, especially by men, but I felt so safe with him.

“I still can’t believe it (that Ledger is gone). It still doesn’t sound real.”
