Elizabeth Reaser on Working With Emma Roberts, Twilight, and Nipple Confusion
Elizabeth Reaser isn’t anybody’s idea of a perfect mom in the upcoming indie The Art of Getting By. Her Charlotte Howe is a woman who spends her days lounging around in negligees and trying to slip midday lovers past her teenage daughter, played by Emma Roberts . That's about as far as you can get from Esme Cullen, the flawless matriarch of the vampire clan in theTwilight films, Reaser’s most well-known role to date. She’s also popped up on Grey's Anatomy and as Will’s girlfriend Tammy on The Good Wife (watch your back, Alicia), and she’ll soon be seen in the new Jason Reitman–Diablo Cody film, Young Adult. Vulture talked to Reaser about tickling Freddie Highmore , drumming in an all-mom movie band, and — the big question — which is sexier: Twilight orTrue Blood?
Was playing Charlotte an antidote to playing Esme, the picture of maternal perfection?
That was exactly it. I was fascinated with someone who would behave like that, who was clearly free of inhibitions, who’s okay with herself and is not a perfect mother. Esme is perfect. There’s not a bad word you can say about Esme. She does everything right. She just loves with every ounce of her being, while Charlotte is drunk, walking around in a negligee and tickling her daughter’s underage boyfriend! [Laughs.] I think women who don’t understand boundaries are fascinating. I sort of modeled her after a girlfriend of mine who is the most fun, the most outrageous, life of the party — hang out with her and you will end up in the hot tub at the end of the night. And that’s what I thought about in terms of Charlotte. It was a little bit of a leap for me, that scene in the garden where I tickle Freddie Highmore, because I kept thinking of him as the boy from Finding Neverland. But he’s not a boy. He’s a young man.
Emma Roberts plays your daughter, Sally, but your relationship to her feels more sisterly than it does maternal.
It is more sisterly, more like friends. They’re close. Charlotte sees something in Freddie’s character because she’s been around the block, and she knows that we don’t appreciate those boys when we’re young. She tries to impart that wisdom, but Sally’s not having it. I love how Emma calls me “Mom” offscreen; she even called me on Mother’s Day! We just really hit it off. We ran around the Lower East Side, the meatpacking district. She knows, like, 8 million people! She’s really smart, sophisticated, worldly. She’s like a 45-year-old woman in the body of a 20-year-old.
Did she pepper you with Twilight questions?
Yes! She’s a bit of a Twihard. I remember she was Team Jacob at one point. She definitely played it cool, though. Those movies, I’m always surprised when older kids are obsessed with them. You’d think they’d be too-cool-for-school for them. But the films seem to capture all ages. I’ve met a lot of Twi-Moms. I get a little uncomfortable when they start talking about TaylorLautner’s body, because I’m like, “He’s a baby! Don’t talk about him like that!” But the movies definitely capture the imagination of even older women. I’m 35, so I guess I would be a Twi-Mom.
You’re too young to be playing all these moms!
Bless you! And I’m not a mom myself. People who don’t know me see me as motherly, for some reason. People who know me, they think it’s really weird that I’m playing the mom.

True Blood is about to start up again. Are you a fan, considering the show shares Twilight’s vegetarian-vampire idea?
I love True Blood! I’m definitely Team Eric. And Team Alcide. I must say, I just love how he’s protective of her and sweet to her. The way Bill betrayed Sookie, that was so upsetting. I didn’t even expect that at all. And I love Anna Paquin. She’s such an odd, cool character. It seems so completely outside of the world of Twilight. I mean, theirs is so much more sexy!

Elizabeth Reaser talks about the BD Wedding Scene and Rob Being Nervous
Tags: Movie Trailers, Movies Blog
Elizabeth Reaser (who plays vampire matriarch Esme Cullen) said it was an emotional moment on the set when Kristen Stewart walked down the aisle as Bella, anticipating her transition from her old life as a human to becoming a member of the vampire Cullen clan.
"Well, the wedding scene was like a real wedding, in that it was stressful. It took a lot of planning, a lot of organization. That was stuff we were all dealing with [and it was like] you were planning a real wedding," she told MTV News before screening and chatting about "The Art of Getting By" for MTV's Sneak Peek Week.
"And the nerves ... I mean, there was an added element of nervousness when we were shooting it, maybe because there were helicopters and people jumping out of trees with cameras, but it was definitely a heightened couple of days on set," she continued, alluding to the paparazzi who were stalking the set, hoping to capture the shoot before its official release. "It took several days to shoot, and at a certain point you don't want to be in a corset anymore."
In the end, it was worth the uncomfortable clothing and obnoxious press.
"But it was really magical, and vampires aren't supposed to cry, and that created a real obstacle for all of us vampires," Reaser said. "Seeing Kristen walk down with aisle with [her movie dad] Billy Burke. I mean, seeing Billy Burke killed me. I understood in that moment what it's like to be a parent and seeing Kristen and see her really be nervous and see Rob really, really be nervous, and the two of them [together with] the families coming together; it was an emotional day for real."
There are plenty of scenes from Stephenie Meyer's "Breaking Dawn" that fans are looking forward to seeing translated to the big screen (and a few we might have to cover our eyes for). But the moment most can't wait to catch a glimpse of is the long-awaited wedding between Edward and Bella, shot earlier this year as the cast and crew wrapped up years of filming the entire "Twilight Saga."
