Fearnet interviews Julia Jones

Fearnet has posted their interview with Julia Jones-
In person, Julia Jones couldn’t be farther from Leah Clearwater, although she understands the reasons for Leah’s hostility towards the world. I caught up with her last weekend to discuss her Eclipse character, her rapport with her co-stars, and her role in this week’s comic book-based supernatural Western, Jonah Hex (unfortunately, I just learned that her scenes from the latter film have been cut). She had high praise for Twilight co-star Taylor Lautner, with whom she’ll get to play more in the upcoming Breaking Dawn films — and almost as much passion for the hours of real life wolf footage she watched to prepare for her Eclipse role. Although she agreed that being a werewolf would have its definite drawbacks — namely, finding yourself naked in the woods after reverting back to human form — she looks forward to helping Leah reach her full bad ass potential in future Twilight sequels.
Describe the audition that landed you the role of Leah Clearwater.
I have had a relationship with the casting director, Rene Haynes, for a couple of years; she cast me in at least one other thing. I went in and I read for her and for David Slade, spent about 20 minutes working on the character and figuring it out, and I came back about a week later and read for Renee and David and some of the producers again. And then I waited a whole month and heard that I got it, and then I waited another month until I could tell anyone! So it was normal in the beginning, and then pretty bizarre.
