Ashley Greene's upcoming vampire drama movie "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" will be released in U.S. theaters on November 20. Hinting at the "Twilight" sequel, the depicter of Alice Cullen said in a recent interview with Vanity Fair, "It's more dangerous; it's darker in the costumes, scenery, and tone. The Volturi come in, and they definitely make them look scary. I think that's why the lighting was so important; it was key. A good part of it is in Italy."

Sharing about her experience when filming "New Moon", the 22-year-old beauty stated, "It was incredible, and I think the timing was right. I'm glad that [my role] wasn't that big in the first one because I was wide-eyed and nervous." Later, she added, "By the second one, I had the time to fully develop this character, and I'm really comfortable with Alice Cullen now. It's going to be sad to be done with it. I was really excited when I read the script because I had, of course, read the book and you never know how they're going to translate it, how it's going to read, and filming it was great. Chris [Weitz, the director] was awesome."

Still in the same interview, Greene opened up about her favorite scenes on the highly anticipated flick. "Driving the Porsche was really fun. [Laughs] I got to drive it up these tiny, cobblestone roads having to deliver lines. I'm actually proud that I did it and didn't crash!" she testified.

"But filming one of the first scenes, where Alice throws this party and [Kristen Stewart's] Bella gets a paper cut, was really fun because we were all there," she explained further to Vanity Fair. "During ['New Moon'] it was basically me and four or five other cast members. The Cullen family was really only there for a week. It was nice because we started out with coming back, reuniting, and seeing everyone again ... and we got to see [Jackson Rathbone's] Jasper in action."
