Peter Facinelli Talks About The Training For ‘Eclipse’

Peter Facinelli (aka Dr. Carlisle Cullen) spoke with New York Magazine about the training they did for the fight scenes in Eclipse.

Ever since Taylor Lautner miraculously went from total weakling to strapping, eight-abbed man-beast during the short break between the shooting of the first two Twilight movies, his male co-stars have been inspired to play catch-up. Last night we ran into Peter Facinelli, who plays Carlisle Cullen (Robert Pattinson’s dad) in the series, at an absurdly long-named event in Los Angeles (Calvin Klein Collection & L.A. Nomadic Division Event in Support of L.A. Arts Month and ALAC, in case you were wondering). “I’m really excited about Eclipse — we did a lot of training for that movie, like six weeks of fight training,” he told us. “It was funny because it became almost like an in-house competition and everyone was always in the gym or working out. Sometimes we’d work out like three times a day. One time, I was in my apartment and I was going down to do my workout, and the elevator doors opened and Kellan Lutz was [in there] doing push-ups. I was like, ‘Okay, Kellan, you win! You win the competition!’”

Kellan looks like he’d be so competitive! LOL!

Hi Peter!! Hope you’re reading this again! Retweet! Retweet!

We’re all excited to see Eclipse! GAH! How much longer?!! 150 days!!! ACK!!

The weather here is just waay too strange! First it was snowing, then it stopped and it starting hailing! Then that stopped and there was just lightning and now it's hailing again! WTF?
DDB_DazzledByRob TeamElevator

It's hailing?! It's snowing like crazy over here:( There's at least 4 inches of snow now.
Wait..there was lightning?! *runs to grab a blanket* I hate lightning *sad eyes*
BellasLoveFlippy

Watch out that there isn't so much snow that you can't open the door to your house anymore tomorrow, ok? LOL Sorry, I've watched too many movies.. hahaha
*hugs DDB*
It's gone now, nothing to be afraid of.. Think about Rob, that'll make you feel better
DDB_DazzledByRob TeamElevator

Omg I could die being snowed in and I would have never consciously seen Rob *gasps*
Rob always makes me feel better:) Lightning is fun though, if you have a boyfriend to protect you:)
BellasLoveFlippy

Don't go all pessimistic on me woman!!

Correction: if you have EDWARD CULLEN to protect you.. LOL
But yeah, I guess any normal boyfriend would do the trick too.. LOL
DDB_DazzledByRob TeamElevator

Rob would be fine too (understatement)
Arghh I really need to find myself a guy again. But we don't have a lot of cute guys over here. And there mostly taken anyway *sigh*
Are there a lot of cute guys in Houten?
BellasLoveFlippy

Best way to find a guy is to stop looking for him.. Now I have to try to stop looking for Rob and he'll just come waltzing into my life! LOL

Some can be cute, but for the most part: not really.. ¬¬
RobsTounge

no keep going i want more
RobsTounge

*pats ceci on the back* its ok
TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI

*grins*
He'll like it too =P
DDB_DazzledByRob TeamElevator

Well I haven't been looking for the past year. And I just met one guy, but I met him on a holiday so he doesn't count. I'm probably going to go out next Friday, see what's left of the cute guys over here.
Small Town Cullen Girl

I saw a video of Kellan doing push ups and they were the sexiest push ups I had ever seen. I could just watch that all day long.
breesmom

Hey, there! Nice to see you in here.Been missing you lately.

Yes, I think so, too. It's be great to see all the Cullens involved with the fighting!
wannabeEsme

Im always up for a daddy C post. LOL
I usually put in a quiet comment when his gorgeous face graces a post if I can.
breesmom

Well, you're just not on here enough!

TeamDelish-CarolinaCullenCoven

This is random, but I totally thought of the movie “Friday” when I read your comment. lol
TeamDelish-CarolinaCullenCoven

Exactly! And, they're doing a mighty fine job of that, I must say…the anticipation is overwhelming. hmph
TeamDelish-CarolinaCullenCoven

Please, for the love of all that is holy MR, please have gotten this one scene right if nothing else! *mantra begins* Must stop thinking this way…keep expectations low TD…sigh
breesmom

So true! I actually dreamed about Eclipse last night, can you believe that?! I never dream about this stuff. Anyway, in my dream I accidentally found David Slade's director's cut of Eclipse that he just turned into Summit on the internet and I was watching it. I kept saying “This is really good…very sweet…not scary at all” From what Ii remember it was narrated not by Bella but by a cute little baby wolf!

I think we need a trailer now! I'm getting desperate. It's invading my subconscious…taking over my dreams!

LOL
my alter eggo & B-day girl ♬♪

LOL!!It is random, but I do love that movie
RobsTounge

was it on youtube??
TeamDelish-CarolinaCullenCoven

LOL Maybe you have semi-prophetic dreams a la Bella! I'll take a sweet movie narrated by a cute baby wolf over a bland, watered-down version not following the book a la the apparent leaked script. (haven't read it myself, but others' comments make me REALLY hope that version was completely rewritten by DS and the cast).
VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven

Hey sis,Been lookin' for ya. LOL. I'm getting ready to head to bed. I'm tired tonight. LOL I posted with nem once today. Been kinda quiet. I've been chatting on the Kristen Video. Did you see it. It's kinda sad. Just wanted to tell ya hey, and hope you have a wonderful night and a blessed day tomorrow. See ya!*hug*

Congrats home skilet!!! LOL, Ive been first like 4 times I think??? More or less. LOL

Twi dance ROCKS!!! LOL!. But isn't it great? I have spread a gangsta vibe all around here!!! LOL.
Small Town Cullen Girl

Actually I think it was on nmm.org
breesmom

Oh, I read the (leaked) script and really didn't find it that bad. It's all in how it's interpreted by the director and cast. Lots can be changed by the visuals. Can't tell everything just by the script.

I would like a trailer. Maybe we shouldn't have made such a fuss about “too much” New Moon!

Yes, would be nice if I were to discover I had a gift of prophesy! Could come in hady.
TeamDelish-CarolinaCullenCoven

I won't be too much longer myself…my son's been having night terrors

yeah…RL is hitting hard tonight. bleh
