The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 Judith Shekoni Interview

Hi, I'm Judy Ciccone and this is FlickDirect.com. Hi, I'm Gina Prizzi with FlickDirect.com and I'm here with Judy Ciccone and the new release, the exciting release of Breaking Dawn 2 and DVD, I can't wait because I get to watch you over and over again in the privacy of my own home. (laughing) Fast forward, rewind, fast forward, rewind, and do it back and forth.

Tell us a little bit about your character and the powers that it had. - I play Zafrina, she is a leader of the Amazon coven and she has a special power. I have the ability to make people see anything I want them to see. So to project illusions in someone's mind. For example, I could fill this room up with Ryan Gosling and George Cloon as if I wanted to.

- Now, working on this film, the camaraderie between the cast, seeing as this has been their fourth one and this was your first one, how was it on the set? - It was great, it was great. I mean, I think they deal with having new people turn up to every film, so they have the new people in school so they really understood how to make us feel at ease and comfortable and there was just no divas going on and everyone felt equal.

We hung out together on set and off set. It was like just family. - You played your part perfectly. I mean, they couldn't have casted a better person for the role. - I think I could have played Bella pretty well as well. (laughs) That's always my aim. - We'll come up with something else. The fight scene was my favorite. Obviously, it's gonna be a lot of favorite.

I mean, this is a romance. This is, there's drama, there's action. You know, the action has grown tremendously from the first to the last. The last was obviously my favorite. Working with the green screen, how was that for you? Had you worked with the green screen before in acting? - I think I'd done a little, but nothing on the level of what we did.

We were, we spent like over six weeks in a place, and you'll really see on the DVD extras, like how it worked and how we shot it. But just in green screen for six weeks with someone on the microphone shouting, "And vampires are flying in to the left, to the right!" And it was a lot of imagination work to be able to really see that in your mind and convey it.

- Yeah, that's what I was wondering, 'cause I know it's totally different than acting when you have somebody to act with. You're not getting any of that. - So different, you have to just make it all up. It's like being a child again, just using your imagination. - Were you Team Jacob or were you Team-- - Team Edward. - Team Edward. Who were you? Before you were a vampire, before you knew which side you were gonna be on.

- Oh, I'm totally Team Edward. I'm like, I'm a loyal girl and I saw him first and he had me at hello, so I'm Team Edward, yeah. It really was a film I feel that the whole family could enjoy. Not only was it for husbands and for moms and for children, so it was a total movie. So I can't wait until this film comes out. And I get to watch it over and over and over again and bring it into my home on my screen.

Thank you very much for your time. And what are you doing now? What are you in Miami? You're in Miami. I'm in Miami. I know. I'm so excited. I love Miami. Are you going to go to South Beach and do the club thing? Are you gonna dance? - I said I bought my bikini, but it's still in my case because, please, Miami, what's going on? I just, like, I did a little bit of shopping and I went to South Beach for a little bit of food and I'm just loving it.

It's really great. - Good, good, well, we're glad to have you here. - Thank you.
