New Moon - Rachelle Lefevre's big struggle
Tuesday, 21 July 2009
Rachelle Lefevre didn't enjoy filming New Moon sometimes.
She spent most of her time doing stunts in the woods on her own. For three weeks she hardly saw Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as she did her fight scene.

Rachelle revealed all to Hit Fix.
She said: "It's scary for me because I don't like heights so there's a really interesting thing that happens which is that I am absolutely terrified when I'm up there and then they go okay, we're rolling. And something happens and you're like wow, I don't know where I'm going to bring myself to jump from here - this freefall leap - and then they said "action" and you just do it.
"It's just one of those things that happens to you, so as me I'm afraid and as Victoria I kind of just do what they tell me to do.
"There's leaping off trees to the ground. There's leaping up in the air from trees to other trees. I was about 40-feet up just hanging out looking like I was just kind of standing there. There's a lot of that. And then my stunt double, who spent five years with Cirque du Soleil did some very cool like backflips and things like that on the wires. Yeah, being thrown around by werewolves you'd be like in one place one minute and then they pull (and) you're like hooked up to wire and then they'll pull the wires and then you get yanked up flying into the air and your body's folded in half. It's very cool."
Rachelle did some cool underwater stuff too.
She said: "I spent six hours in a pool doing all the underwater stuff.
"Yeah, the sort of swimming with the hair underwater and then they did a really interesting thing where they did this amazing stunt where Bella gets caught in the tidal wave. So, we were all in the pool doing the same stuff on the same day. I got to film all my underwater stuff and then I got to watch them film that.
"It was incredible because there was no CGI involved that at all. There was a green screen so they could put it wherever they wanted, but there was nothing involved whatsoever in terms of adding it after the fact. They literally took, I think must have been 2,000 gallons of water in (what) looked like those huge cargo rectangular cargo containers you put on the back of trains.
"They had two of those pumped up with 2,000 gallons of water and first they did it with the stunt double and they did it with Kristen's photo double and then they literally on 'action' pulled the hatch and she got pummeled with an amazing tidal wave. And you could watch underwater, which I got to because I was in the pool, or you can watch on the monitor and you could literally see her spinning. It created a tidal wave and they just filmed until she got spit out. When it spit her out, the cut was over."
