Awkward New Moon date movie: Face Punch

For anyone who has read New Moon, we know we can look forward to the awkwardness that is the “date” between Bella, Jacob and Mike Newton. In a recent interview, Mike Welch who plays Mike Newton in the Twilight movies, discussed the scene, as well as the action flick the trio were there to see: Face Punch.

So the name is quite ridiculous, but Bella is desperate to see a film that doesn’t involve any kind of romantic story line. So it makes sense when she chooses the most action-packed movie she can find. However, according to this interview, Welch says he doesn’t know if Chris Weitz did any filming to create this fake movie. Instead, the article states that

they were repeatedly shown the trailer for “Defiance” while Weitz’s camera caught the flicker on their faces.

In addition, Welch says

We started out with a few other comical names, but it turned out those were actual films so we couldn’t use those titles,” Welch laughed. “I forget the first few titles, but it was like ‘Crazy Explosion’ — and it turns out, there actually was a ‘Crazy Explosion.’

Sounds like Weitz has a fun sense of humor. I look forward to these lighter “comic relief” portions of New Moon.
