New Interview: Ashley Greene on The Apparition, Life After Breaking Dawn

Ashley Greene is moving past the Twilight Saga and one of her first carry a film on her shoulders roles is in The Apparition. The horror movie finds Greene’s Kelly moving into her parent’s “investment home” with her boyfriend Ben (Sebastian Stan). Almost immediately it becomes clear that something is not quite right about their new abode
When it comes to leaving the Cullen family behind with the arrival of Breaking Dawn Part 2 in November, Greene admits it’s going to be difficult, but she is ever positive about the future.
“It’s going to be hard. At the premiere it’s really going to hit us and impact us. Comic-Con was the first event where I realized it was the beginning of the end. It’s crazy. It has been such a huge part of my life and my career… it started my career! You do get comfortable and you do get to be a family with these people. It’s weird knowing we’re not going back to that,” Greene said.
“I like to be positive. One, at least I have it on DVD forever. And two, it’s afforded me a lot of opportunity. I just want to keep moving forward and jump at those opportunities, rather than be that sad about the past.”
One of those career chances is her headlining part in The Apparition. The film is inspired by a 1970’s experiment where a group of paranormal researchers attempted to summon a spirit that they created solely in their mind. When the experience became too scary, they abandoned the effort.
Filmmaker Todd Lincoln wondered what would happen if someone in modern times recreated the experiment and things went horribly wrong. Although she leapt at the chance to delve into the horror genre, Greene tells us exclusively that she cannot put her finger on why we adore being scared silly.
“It doesn’t make sense why we as a people like to be terrified. I know why we as tortured artists like them,” Greene said. (more…)
