Mike Welch Talks Three-Way Date
Jun 29th, 2009 | By Krystal | Category: Featured Articles, Movie News
MTV has a new interview with Mike Welch, who talks about the Bella-Jacob-Mike movie date in New Moon!
“Welch stopped by the MTV studios to discuss such far-ranging topics as his concern for Robert Pattinson’s safety and the “three-way date,” a scene that has Bella, Mike and Jacob at a movie theater, watching a horror film. But, in the grand tradition of such films as “The Player,” “Bowfinger” and “The Purple Rose of Cairo,” director Weitz is inserting his own mini “movie within a movie” into the mix.
“The film is called ‘Face Punch,’ ” revealed Welch, telling us about the tongue-in-cheek movie that Bella, Mike and Taylor will be seen watching on the big screen. “It’s an action film.”
When the cast of “New Moon” began planning out the pivotal date scene, they got a laugh out of some of the silly, fictional action-movie names that Weitz and his crew had assembled. But in the end, “Face Punch” was the winner.
“We started out with a few other comical names, but it turned out those were actual films so we couldn’t use those titles,” Welch laughed. “I forget the first few titles, but it was like ‘Crazy Explosion’ — and it turns out, there actually was a ‘Crazy Explosion.’ ”
“Chris came up with the title,” he continued. “And apparently there is no ‘Face Punch’ that we know of.”
I can’t wait for the movie to come out!!! This is one of the scenes I am most looking forward to watching!!!!
