Mariel Belanger, Taha Aki's 'Third Wife' Talks About Kristen

Mariel Belanger, is the Canadian actress who played the role of Taha Aki’s third wife in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Yes, she was the one who sacrificed herself so that her husband could destroy the female vampire that had killed her son (and half the village) in the flashback “History of the Quileutes” scene, as told by Billy Black.


QWP: Were there any memorable moments on the set of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse that you can share with the fans?
MB: I spent as much time as I could on set and not in my trailer just so I could take in the whole experience. I got to watch Kristen Stewart as she mimicked my performance for the morphing into Third Wife part. She was nice, introduced herself to me. I felt welcomed by pretty much everyone I got to meet. I really enjoyed watching the stunts, it happens so fast, but when you’re on set – you know exactly how many falls and hits they take.

It's sad that Kristen's scene wasn't included in the Eclipse DVD 'deleted' scenes. It would be interesting to see Kristen do the same scene.

Maybe they'll include Kristen's scene in a deluxe boxed set after all the movies are released as individual DVDs. I'm very hopeful that they do the series justice with a major offering after the singles, with more commentary (David Slade not having commentary, I feel, is a glaring omission and I also want to hear the stuff that Wyck wanted to say and didn't get in), more BTS and interviews with more of the cast, more photos, more deleted and extended scenes, jump to Edward and Jacob on all films, plus the theatrical releases and exclusive director's cuts of each film... AND... another exclusive: the movie of Bree's story, which I'm hoping was filmed while they had David Slade and all the actors. Surely, they did it. Seems a no brainer to do it as a surprise to keep under wraps until the time comes to make the Twilight boxed set the most epic of all time. Since Bree's story was published and facts used in Eclipse, it deserves to be included in a deluxe boxed set of the Twilight Saga. A set of deluxe trading cards would be cool, too, plus it should be in a very cool box with the Cullen crest, black velvet with red ribbon and pewter accents. And if they could keep the price to $99.95 or less, the sales will probably surpass any other box set ever offered. I've been wanting this set for over a year now so surely those in a position to actually make money from it are already way ahead of me, with even more goodies and surprises. And to make it even more available to all maybe they could have three levels of boxed set, like $49.95, $99.95, and $179.99 to have autographed photos or movie posters added or something. Man, I'd sure love to be on the team developing and marketing this project. I'm so excited I can't stop thinking about it and I'm just going to be buying it. It's going to be awesome, a once-in-a-lifetime offering that millions will buy and love and enjoy for years to come. Fingers crossed they do it right. I have to believe they're already all over it and it truly will be epic and beyond.

@RockFan I had to laugh. I can tell you're very hopeful for all the above things to be included in the tiered deluxe DVD sets. I'd like for you to be on that marketing and developing team too. Your post made me feel like I just have to have that 179.99 set. lol You are good

They should make a DVD that has all the behind the scenes that they didn't put in any of the DVDs. Like the new moon from italy(especially the kiss scene :) ).well basically all the Bella/Edward (Robsten) scenes. Hopefully they do, it will be like a goodbye present when there will be no more new twilight films.:(

jbells97 said...

@Jean, yes, I would love to see that kissing scene. Also, there was the NM dream sequence where Edward and a wolf was in Bella's bedroom. There's probably lots more. I don't care how cheesy it is, I want to see it all. But what I want to see most is R/K's audition tape on Catherine Hardwicke's bed! I hope they don't wait 5/10/50 years to put it in the anniversary edition.

I would LOVE to see the audition tape.

Misty said...

A special boxed set would be so awesome. With everything said here. Although I highly doubt a Bree movie was made already, RockFan. Weren't they on an extremely tight schedule shooting Eclipse? I doubt David had time for anything extra.

Oh and bloopers, please! Plus some footage of when they wrap for the very last time. I want to shed some tears along with the actors!

Man, Hubby's right, I can be demanding. LOL

RockFan said...

Lol, thanks @MaggieJane. I didn't realize I had gone on so long until I saw it just now. Marketing is my profession so I tend to look at everything from that perspective and I'm really, really excited about what they're going to dream up for us as a deluxe box set offering.

@jean, yes, that would definitely be a popular feature, all the E/B scenes for when you really, really need them. I watch part or all of one or more of the three we have now every week. I am completely hooked to the saga, books, movies, all of it, and most especially Edward and Bella.

Misty said...

@jbells97 Yes, forgot about the audition tape!! Oooo and how about the clip of when Rob got so into it he fell off the bed?

kathk said...

I've lurked here for quite a while, but never commented before...I LOVE all your ideas, but just want to add one thing...extended version of Rob playing piano...I would definitely buy the ultra-deluxe version for that!!!!!

RockFan said...

@Misty, you're right, they were. Just extremely wishful thinking on my part. I want to see Fred and Diego and some of those scenes, like what, for sure, really happened to Diego, and I want to see Fred run off and it'd be cool if they spin a movie off about him. To me, he's the most interesting character in Bree's story and if they do that, it's possible some of the other characters could be in it, too. Renesmee, Jacob, Charlie, so many, and it could actually center around Renesmee and Jacob. It seems logical to continue the saga on screen with Jacob and Renesmee's story. The saga is too much of a juggernaut to just drop it after BD2. They have the most devoted fan base ever created. As long as they do the story and films justice, the fans will buy tickets. I know I'd enjoy seeing more, and reading more for that matter. Makes me wonder how many have already written continuing stories just to have more of the saga to read. I haven't tried but once everything is over and there's nothing more coming, I can imagine I probably would give it a shot and let the words come (just for my own personal satisfaction since I couldn't publish it). Fingers crossed though that more is coming. I'd sure love to read the final version of Midnight Sun. It'd be the best gift ever if we could have all four books from Edward's perspective.

RobStenation said...

Woah loving all your inputs. Lemme call Summit... haha

RockFan said...

@katgk, oooooohhh, yes!!!!! Edward playing piano is so awesome. I hope they get his playing into BD. You are so right, that alone would be worth the ultra-deluxe version. While we're building our wish list, let's add music videos of Rob's songs, too. :-) There's just so much. I'm all excited again. Lol, I'll never get to sleep tonight. That just gave me a thought... fingers and toes crossed that Rob does a song for the BD soundtrack and it'd be double awesome if Kristen and her amazing voice would do one, too, or better yet a duet of them together for a song while they're loving each other in the cottage. I'd pay right now for a fast forward button to November though it's probably going to be harder getting through the wait to see part two.

Delle1 said...

God I can't even comprehend having to wait until next year to see the final part...that's a lifetime away.

RockFan said...

@Misty, love your idea about BTS from the end of the shoot! It would be awesome to experience that.

Anonymous said...

Wow ladies, Summit needs to take note!!! I would preorder this and pay any price to own it!! I especially agree with a blooper reel, and BTS in Italy, the audition tapes, oh and most of all the one with Rob getting a little to into it and falling off the bed!! Does Summit know what a land mine they have, they could make a pretty penny if they take your advice!! LOL LOVING THE IDEA OF THIS!!!

TS

sharilee said...

Wow, @RockFan, you must really "rock" at your career!! I am blown away by all of your ideas and marketing strategies, and all of the other ladies' ideas are epic as well--just the thought of an extended version of Rob playing the piano has got me all worked up already this morning! Makes me look forward to the set that will eventually be put out by Summit, but I'm thinking it will pale in comparison to the one we've got going here!

Malia said...

OMG, RockFan & sharilee...I'm w/ya both bbs, haha! Bring on PIANO PLAYING ROB & all of the rest...I'm THERE LOVELIES & so wide awake this morning,lol...Thanks & Hugs to ALL...Can You See Me Swaying My Little Hula Hips?? HaHa......

Malia said...

Oh, & I forgot to say, I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want SM to finish Edward's "Midnight Sun", PLEASE, I'm BEGGING here...Twilight's still not complete to me without it...@RockFan, what's your thoughts on it hun?????

sharilee said...

@Malia, ITA, I want Midnight Sun finished, I think it's some of SM's finest writing yet!! I will lie down on the ground and beg if I have to! Please, please, please, with little sparkly vampires on top??!!

RockFan said...

@Malia, ITA, too. I so want Midnight Sun to be completed. I've read the excerpt so many times, just again last week. I'm with @sharilee--I'm willing to lay on the ground and beg if it would do any good. Whatever it takes to have this book in print, I'm willing to do whatever I could possibly do. I'm so hoping Stephenie does all four from Edward's perspective. They'll be completely different books, especially New Moon (I wonder what the alternate title would be?? Eternal Abyss?), and so awesome and instant best sellers. Absolutely, ladies, I'm adding my please, please, please with little sparkly vampires on top, too!!

@sharilee, thank you. I enjoy what I do, and certainly have lots of fun coming here and interacting and reading everyone's comments and ideas. It's nice to be part of group that understands how it feels and what it is to be a true Robsten fan, especially here at RobStenation where we are free from the hater BS that litters and spoils so many other sites. This type of fan experience is new to me and was definitely unexpected but now that I've succumbed to it, I just enjoy it and am so grateful for S. She's like our Robsten Guardian Angel, but packing heat to knock down the crazies and haters. Lol.

Ladies,

For some reason I am still unable to log in with my own name so for now I'm using 'anonymous' but I'm Catherine a very Dihard Twihard. I check into this site as often as I can every day. I love to follow all the comments and totally agree about the boxed set - WOW! that would be so terrific. I also detest the idea that although they (Summit) are finishing the last part 'BD2' this April - they are not releasing part 2 until one YEAR after part one. What the H---- is that about???? Why are they making us wait a full year being Scottish polite... THAT'S RUBBISH! Is Summit really trying to squeeze every last dime out of us - thinking that if they make us wait... more people will go and watch the movie??? Are they nuts??? Who do they think the fan base is? If they release the second movie the month after the first ... We'd ALL still go to see it. aking us wait an entire year is absolutely ridiculous!
I'm NOT a teenybopper. I'm not 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 something. I am 62 years old and certainly not alone in my facility (age wise). I have read all four books exactly 6 times and watched every movie more times than I can count. YES I'm a HUGE fan of Robsten and wish them only the best for their love and their future.
Ladies and 'S' I Sooooo appreciate this blog because we have you 'S' to thank for keeping the 'nasties' away. Thank you so much. In caseyou need to contact me you can use... ccullen@hotmail.com.
