Nikki Reed Was 'Intimidated' By Rosalie's Backstory In 'Eclipse'

Nikki Reed Was 'Intimidated' By Rosalie's Backstory In 'Eclipse'
'I know that the fans have expectations,' she tells MTV News.



"Twilight" was all about Bella and Edward. Then in "New Moon," Jacob really stepped it up. While "Eclipse" definitely focuses on the love triangle, fans also get to learn a bit more about their friends and family.

When Nikki Reed had to shoot Rosalie's backstory, her biggest moment yet in "The Twilight Saga," she was feeling the pressure.

"I was torn, because I was definitely looking forward to it. I mean, I read the first three books before we began filming 'Twilight,' so I knew what I had in store if we made all three movies," she told MTV News about going back in time and showing the fans Rosalie's story. "But I was obviously very intimidated, and I felt a little insecure, and I was nervous, and maybe I should not be saying all these things, but I was."

For those unfamiliar with the "Twilight" series (spoiler alert!), when she was a human, Rosalie was attacked by a group of men, including her fiancé, and left to die. Carlisle Cullen came to her rescue, turning her into a vampire and bringing her into the Cullen clan.

"It's scary. I never felt the pressure until 'Eclipse.' It was really Rob and Kristen and Taylor," Reed said. "But I really was nervous about having to shoot that whole sequence. I think it's a very dark and dramatic backstory, and Stephenie Meyer certainly gave me plenty to work with. I know that the fans have expectations, and I've never been a part of something that existed before."
