Apr 14th, 2011 | By Stefanie | Category: Featured Articles, Movie NewsLisa Howard, who plays Siobhan in Breaking Dawn: Part II, tweeted a fantastic interview she did with Broadway World. The interview covers all sorts of info on Lisa’s experiences on the set of Breaking Dawn: from what her audition was like, working with Bill Condon, what scenes she’s in, to a nice mention of Renesmee’s Lullaby–which as y’all know Rob will be performing in Breaking Dawn: Part II. Here’s an excerpt and go to Broadway World to read the rest of the interview. It’s a good read so be sure to check it out!
PC: Moving to movies: you are making your feature film debut in one of the most hotly anticipated films of all time, TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN, yes?
LH: Yes, yes, I am! (Laughs.) Isn’t that crazy!
PC: What an accomplishment! And to work with Bill Condon – he’s a real Broadway baby; plus, he directed DREAMGIRLS!
LH: I think that’s probably why he even considered hiring me – because I am a Broadway gal and he understands our world, you know?
PC: Precisely.
LH: I think that may have even been the reason I was even considered.
PC: The theatre connection. What was the audition like? How did it come about?
LH: Jen, my manager, got me the audition. Of course, I was a huge TWILIGHT fan and I had read all the books and seen the movies. You know, I was like, “Oh, that sounds fun! Great!” never thinking that I would get it – even though I fit the character description perfectly, and that doesn’t happen all the time for a gal like me!
PC: Where did you audition?
LH: We went in and I put myself on tape and we sent it in. The next week, I got the call that I got the job.
PC: Wow.
LH: I know! It was kind of surreal. I was like, “What. Is. Happening?!” I was so excited.
