Movie Feature
Twilight Time
Friday 18 November 2011
How did you get cast in Twilight?
It was pretty conventional. I had auditioned for the first one originally, for Jacob and I kind of submitted my stuff way later and they cast Taylor (Lautner). And then for New Moon I was already ready, I wasn't going to miss out on it, my background being part-Native American so I knew that I had a really good shot at it.
Can you tell us a bit about your character Paul?
Paul is volatile, hot-headed, thick with pride and just has fun, just a furry furball of fun!
Do you feel a bond between you and the other guys in the wolfpack?
Oh yeah, it's pretty great, we've known each other now for two-and-a-half years, we've travelled the world together promoting the movies, and meeting fans together and kind of going through the growing pains of it too. There's a lot of new things and experiences that we all learned and luckily enough we had each other to console, or ask advice. It's kind of nice; it feels like I've definitely added a couple of new family members to my life.
Have you found the Twilight fans' fervour difficult?
I have to have reminders sometimes that I'm even in a move like that. I do it and then I do other movies in between and you know, when I walk on set on another movie, I'll get random Twilight fans there and I'm like 'Oh yeah that's right, I'm on Twilight!' You kind of forget. Once you start promoting the movie, that's really when it's most hectic.
Can you give our readers any hints of what to expect in Breaking Dawn?
There's a lot of really great stuff. The endings are the greatest things about them, reading them in the scripts I was really entertained by them just from the book to the screenplay, they had a really slick of way of keeping with the material but tweaking it a bit so the endings are really solid. I think it's going to be a huge surprise to a lot of fans. I think some are going to be kind of scared and p***ed off until this great reveal happens, and then they're going to be really excited by the pay-off. I was happy to read it, I was like 'Yes, finally!' but that's all I'm saying!

- The Real Mr & Mrs Assad: Channel 4 Dispatches
Channel 4 Dispatches reveals a portrait of a golden couple who have become global hate figures. The programme shows intimate footage of President Bashar al-Assad and his wife Asma as they've never been seen on British television before, and images that help explain why the West bought the idea they were true modernisers. When Bashar took the reins of power after his father's death in 2000, the West was drawn into a hope and belief that Syria would be a new force for change in the Middle East. The Assads were seen as a glamorous couple with modern Western morals and values; he was hailed a reformer, she was the 'Rose of the Desert'. Key leaders and figures in the West welcomed the young couple, convinced that the softly spoken London-trained ophthalmologist and his beautiful British-born former investment banker wife would bring reform and modernisation to a country that had been run by an iron-fisted dictator for nearly 30 years. But it seems the West was duped. Instead of a transparent and progressive leadership, what has emerged during a year-long bloody uprising is evidence of the regime's gross systematic human rights abuses, including widespread killings and torture, while the Assads look on. Channel 4 Dispatches investigates the extent of the Assad family's culpability and the chains of command that link the President and select inner circle to the brutal crackdown.

- Afghanistan: The Great Game - A Personal View By Rory Stewart
Afghanistan: one of the most isolated and barren landscapes on earth is a strange place for an empire or superpower to invade. But for three of the greatest powers the world has seen, it became an unlikely target and an enduring obsession. The 19th century British invasions into Afghanistan, immortalised by Rudyard Kipling as "The Great Game", ended in huge loss of life and British retreat, and set a template for the perils of incursion in this mountainous country. In this two-part series, author, journalist and former Deputy Governor during the coalition's occupation of Iraq, Rory Stewart MP travels to Afghanistan to uncover the fears, the paranoia and perceived threats that led three very different Ssperpowers: Britain, Russia and the United States into Afghanistan from the 19th century to the present day.
