MyAnna Buring Says ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2′ will be epic
MyAnna Buring (who plays Tanya) recently opened up about how she got cast in Breaking Dawn, and also says the final film, Breaking Dawn Part 2, is going to be ‘big.’
On Breaking Dawn Part 2:
“It’s going to be big,” she says. “Filming the final scenes was so epic. All the original characters and all the new vampires were there, it was just huge.
“One hundred actors on one set creates quite a special atmosphere, and you got a sense of what you were part of.”
On Rob, Kristen and Taylor:
Her relatively recent addition to the cast list means she’s avoided the worst excesses of hero worship experienced by Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.
She says: “I’ve only had lovely experiences with fans but I think it must be crazy for the main group.
“They handle it with amazing grace, but if people actually experienced it I think they would think again about how cool it is because it can be really tough.”
On Getting cast in Breaking Dawn:
“I was shooting Kill List and I got a call saying they just couldn’t find this character.
“So on the off chance that they might look at a tape, I sent one off, already being a fan of the Twilight series, particularly the books. I sent it off thinking ‘This is a big Hollywood franchise and I’m little old me and they’re looking for a beautiful vampire’.
“I must have done something really right because I got the job two weeks later. I’d never met [director] Bill [Condon], I’d never met author Stephenie [Meyer], I’d never met any of the producers until I stepped foot on set. So after being confirmed for the job, I spent the next few months worrying they were going to call back and tell me they’d changed their minds.”
She didn’t get such a call, so she went into preparation mode: “I went back to the books, first and foremost. I went back and re-read them all and focused on the sections where Tanya was mentioned, focused on the sections where the Denalis were mentioned, what the Denalis said, how Stephenie had written them.
“And there’s a lot of backstory. I did a bit of research on vampire folklore and then obviously when I was on set, I had Stephenie there, so if I had any questions I could go to the original creator. It was just how I’d prepare for any part.”

Breaking Dawn‘s MyAnna Buring (aka Tanya of the Denali Coven) has said watching co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart deal with the spotlight has made her realise fame isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be.
From MSN:
The 27-year-old Swedish actress – who plays vampire Tanya in Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2 – is impressed with the way the actors, who are a real life couple, deal with the attention, but is pleased she doesn’t get as much.
MyAnna said: “I’ve only had lovely experiences with fans but I think it must be crazy for the main group.
“They handle it with amazing grace, but if people actually experienced it I think they would think again about how cool it is, because it can be really tough.”
The Kill List actress revealed working on the final instalment of the hit vampire franchise had been really exciting.
She said: “It’s going to be big. Filming the final scenes was so epic. All the original characters and all the new vampires were there, it was just huge.
“One hundred actors on one set creates quite a special atmosphere, and you got a sense of what you were part of.”

MyAnna Buring Talks Breaking Dawn To Glamour!
MyAnna Buring talked to Glamour Magazine about Breaking Dawn and her character Tanya!
What appealed to you about the role of Tanya?
I was a big fan of the Twilight books, and also Bill Condon. So when Bill and Stephenie Meyers wanted me to play Tanya it was a chance to work with two people whose work I love. On top of that I loved the idea of playing a vampire, and to be one of the new characters introduced in the final Twilight Saga installments.
Your relationship with Edward Cullen is quite complicated. How did you get that to come across in Breaking Dawn?
Well Tanya has always held a torch for Edward, which sadly for her is a feeling that has never been reciprocated. To go into the details of that story was impossible in Breaking Dawn – as it is a separate story and we simply didn’t have the time to incorporate it. So it just functioned as information and history for me playing Tanya. As she never displayed any jealous behaviour towards Edward and Bella’s union in the books, Bill and I decided that she had the experience and the grace to let go of the things she could not change. We did however shoot a scene where she teased and joked with Edward about being jealous that he’d tied the knot. But it had to be cut because it was too long.
You have some exciting scenes coming up in Breaking Dawn 2 – which was the favourite to film?
The final scenes – and the scene when Renesmee was revealed were my favourite.
Did you have to do any stunts? Did you find them fun or dread them?
I love doing stunts. One stunt involved me having to throw myself onto snow, and ice, and slide on my front for a couple of metres, in rather thin clothing. Initially our stunt woman was going to do it but, at the very end of the day, Bill came up to me and said “it has to be you”. It was freezing cold, we were loosing light, up against it with time, and everyone was cold and tired. I managed to do it in one take – I’ve never seen a crew happier! That was fun.
