Things we learned at Comic-Con
Costume for Comic-Con
Asked which costume he’d want to wear if he attended Comic-Con as a fan, Cam Gigandet said that he’d like to bring back the impressive abs he showed off in the movie «Never Back Down.» «What are the guys from ‘300‘?» he asked about Zack Snyder’s barely clad Spartans. «I’d like to be one of them.»
Ready
Gigandet revealed to us backstage that he might be a bit more prepared for Hall H than some of his co-stars, because he had appeared in front of a large crowd once before. «It was the MTV Movie Awards,» he remembered of his recent appearance. «But I didn’t really speak. I just kinda mumbled a few words.» Still, he said that answering fans’ questions on the spot is tougher than acting: «I’m not good. I wish they were all written for me — my lines just kind of posted up on the wall [of Hall H] would be great.»
Honey and chicken
«Once we got to get in there with each other up against the mirrors and stuff, it was pretty wild,» Gigandet said of the ballet-studio fight scene they revealed to the audience. “We had honey and chicken flying everywhere! That was our substitute for human flesh. Honey and chicken [were all over us]. I’m serious!»

«There were a couple moves I did actually have from the movie that they let me incorporate,» revealed Cam Gigandet, adding that if you look closely, you might see some mixed-martial-arts moves in his epic battle with Robert Pattinson. «[I worked in] a lot of things that I do well. But it was so much different from the fights in ‘Never Back Down,’ because [the «Twilight» vampires] have superhuman strength. So every hit and every throw and everything, really, had to have such a huge effect. [We'd] go flying into the rafters, through windows — having that much wirework made it on a much grander scale than ‘Never Back Down‘.»
