Although the LA press day for New Moon was focused 99.9% of the time on all things Twilight, A Nightmare on Elm Street came up during the press conference Lutz was a part of. When asked about the dream sequences and what audiences can expect from the 2010 film, Lutz joked that his character actually becomes the steel-gloved killer.

“It’s great. I kill Jackie Earle Haley and take away his glove and sweater — the sweater itches,” said Lutz, laughing. “No. You know what? It’s such a blessing to be a part of something that for me, I grew up with. And a lot of things scared me growing up – mainly my brothers picking on me. But as far as Jason or Chucky, I had a Chucky doll, like those things didn’t scare me. But Freddy Krueger, there’s something… It’s this psychological thriller that can take you in your dreams, you know? It’s something that you can’t physically take care of on your own. You know, working with Platinum Dunes guys, I mean, Brad Fuller, and Andrew [Form], they’re great. And to work with Sam [Bayer], the director. And then the great cast: Thomas Dekker was always pumped on Red Bull every day, [Rooney] Mara’s great, Kate Cassidy has been a great friend of mine forever. And meeting Michael Bay was so cool.”

Right before The Twilight Saga: New Moon star Kellan Lutz began filming for 2008′s Twilight, he filmed an HBO series entitled Generation Kill. That series has been nominated for an Emmy in the category of “Miniseries” alongside Little Dorrit.

The series starred “True Blood” star Alexander Skarsgard, James Ransome, Lee Tergesen, Jon Huertas, Stark Sands, Billy Lush, Jonah Lotan, Wilson Bethel, Pawel Szajda, Marc Menchaca, Rey Valentin, Lutz, and many others, and had a total of seven episodes (Lutz appeared in all seven).

Generation Kill has been said to be “both ambitious and rife with a casualness of daily war routines that lulls the viewer into the story line. It tells a big story through myriad small characters (defined well enough to be enriching, not just paper cutouts).”

Generation Kill was also nominated for “Outstanding Art Direction for a Miniseries or a Movie,” “Outstanding Casting For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Special,” “Outstanding Cinematography For A Miniseries Or Movie,” “Outstanding Directing For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Dramatic Special,” “Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing For A Miniseries Or A Movie,” “Outstanding Sound Editing For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Special,” “Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Miniseries Or A Movie,” “Outstanding Special Visual Effects For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Special,” and “Outstanding Writing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Dramatic Special.”

Twist Magazine recently spoke with Twilight star Kellan Lutz, who plays Emmett Cullen. In the short new interview, Kellan talks about New Moon, his fans, and his role as Emmett

On filming New Moon:
“I’m done with New Moon. It was really easy to work on with [Director] Chris Weitz. It all starts with the director, and he really moves the tempo with shooting. And he’s just so mellow and relaxed that it trickled down to the crew. And they were really prepared and it trickled down to the actors, who were really comfortable. And since Twilight was really accepted by the fans, it really allowed us to feel comfortable in our shoes.”

On what to look forward to in NM:
“Something to really look forward to is Jackson Rathbone’s scene when he’s playing Jasper, and Bella cuts her finger at her birthday party. He really loses himself there. He really transformed himself and got there, so it was really cool to see. And I think the fans will really like to see that and be surprised with how fierce he looked and got.”

On continuing to play Emmett:
“Emmett has quite a larger role with Eclipse and then Breaking Dawn, so I’m really excited to shoot Eclipse coming up soon and then hopefully Breaking Dawn!

On encountering fans:
“As far as the fans, I guess nothing too bizarre [has happened]. The conventions are always on lockdown, and at the publicity events, we have security. But when I’m in LA and I’m walking around — I was driving one day, leaving my neighborhood and this car pulled up right next to me and they started screaming out their window! They told me to roll the window down, and I’m like ‘What the heck is going on?’ And I roll my window down and it’s “Emmett!” Just screaming! And I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s why!’ I forgot and this was right after we were done shooting [Twilight], so I really didn’t know the hype for the movie. Or that fans had so much love for it! So when that happened, I was just realy taken back.”
