In the series' third installment, 'Eclipse' a dark tone pervades and limbs fly from bodies in a climactic battle involving vampires and werewolves. The love triangle between lead characters Edward, Bella and Jacob burns with even greater intensity.
In terms of the violence, I guess that makes it a little bit more grown-up," said Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward.
"It's just a more accessible story line. Being torn between two lovers doesn't really happen when you're eight. It's more grown-up in that respect."
Kristen Stewart, whose character Bella must choose between the two magical beings, compares the emotional trauma of making that choice to the violence of battle.
"I think there's always one person that loves the other person more. And that's so heartbreaking. In this case, you add another person," Stewart said. "And it's interesting because she actually loves them both. And so you're going to have to absolutely slaughter one of them, no matter what."
Taylor Lautner's werewolf Jacob does get in one big kiss in the film directed by David Slade, and forces Bella to confess her love for him. Lautner smiles at the opportunity his character is given.
"It was different. It was weird, just that Jacob actually got to kiss Bella. It was good," he said. "I mean, it was kind of the ultimate movie kiss. Because we were on top of this mountain. There was a beautiful background. The camera is circling around us. And there we are kissing."
Pattinson shot down the suggestion that 'Twilight' author Stephenie Meyer's Mormon values are integrated into the book and movie series. His character will not have sex with Bella, even though she wants to, until they are married.
Pattinson said fans are not responding to the chastity of the characters but to the anticipation and longing that accompanies it.
"If they said at the beginning of the saga, like Edward and Bella: 'Listen, we're never going to have sex. That's just how it is. I don't have genitals,' I don't think it'd be half as successful," he concluded, laughing.
