In an interview with MSN Australia, Xavier talks about working on the set of Eclipse.
The Twilight Saga is one of the most popular and successful film series of all time.
Samuel plays Riley, a newborn vampire on a mission to kill Bella (Kristen Stewart).
“It’s a really action-packed film and I had a really great time running around on wires and learning how to fight like a vampire – however that is,” he laughed.
“Whenever we weren’t shooting we were in stunt training or in the gym running around. It was pretty intensive actually.”
Samuel said the third film would have a darker look, thanks to new director David Slade.
“It seems like David has approached it very differently to the previous directors – I think he’s really embracing the darker side of it, which is really cool,” he said.
“He’s uber intelligent, very technically astute director.”
Since shooting Eclipse, Samuel said he’s been receiving more new scripts than ever but hasn’t signed on to anything else yet.

Australia’s Adelaide Now has a new interview with Xavier, whi will play Riley in Eclipse.
DRESSED in jeans and scuffed boots and climbing out of a beaten-up Ford Falcon, Xavier Samuel looked like any other young bloke when he turned up for his city hair appointment on Thursday.
That was only because the hordes of teenage girls who have been following his every move on the internet for the past few months were nowhere to be seen – they didn’t even know he was in town.
International paparazzi have hounded the former Adelaide drama student since he landed a role in the third Twilight movie, Eclipse, which completed filming in Canada two months ago.
Due to be released next June, the film, which also stars Twilight leads Kristen Stewart and heart-throb Robert Pattinson, is set to make Samuel, 25, a major Hollywood star.
This week he was enjoying some downtime in his home town, where he caught up with mates at Rundle St spots The Exeter and Sugar nightclub, before spending Christmas relaxing with his mum Maree and dad Clifford, brother Benedict, 21, and sister Bridget, 28.
“It’s a bizarre thing, the whole celebrity phenomenon,” Samuel told the Sunday Mail.
“But to see it in action is another thing. It’s a little strange having someone follow you to get a coffee.
“I wasn’t used to that sort of attention, so I just took it in my stride, I guess.
“I think Robert and Kristen do a really good job in dealing with fans.
“They seem to handle it really well, so if I can take a leaf out of their book I should be OK.”
Life in the US has also given Samuel a chance to catch up with fellow Adelaide actor Teresa Palmer, a former castmate from the local indy film 2:37.
“Teresa and I actually spent Halloween in LA together,” he said.
“It was my first Halloween and I went as a Canadian because I just came back from Vancouver. It just involved me putting on a cap, I didn’t really put a lot of effort in. It was either that or go as a Playboy bunny.”
Samuel may have a celebrity lifestyle, but he certainly doesn’t have a car to match – he bought his canary yellow Falcon with Benedict for just $500.
After the New Year, the two are planning to drive it to Sydney, where Benedict is studying at the National Institute of Dramatic Arts.
“The car only has a tape deck, so that’s what we’ve been asking everyone for Christmas – car tapes,” he laughed.
“We were listening to a fair bit of ’50s rock and roll on the way here.”
Meanwhile, Samuel has an obvious tip for Twilight fans wanting the inside scoop on the new film: “If you want to know what happens in the movie, just read the book.”
TeenVogue.com has a Q and A, and a video with Xavier Samuel! Here’s an excerpt:
How was filming Eclipse?
Playing Riley was cool–I get to boss around a bunch of newborn vampires. I had a really good time hanging out with everyone in Vancouver. I play the guitar, so Jackson [Rathbone] and I had a few jams together–Rob plays as well, he’s really good. It’s kind of awesome when you go to the other side of the world and find a bunch of people who are all into music and like the same bands as you.

Moviehole has an exclusive interview with Xavier Ssamuel who will play Riley on ‘Eclipse’. Here’s an excerpt of the interview.
Question: Are you prepared for the female adulation that will result from this gig?
Samuel: [LAUGHTER] Look, I don’t know how you prepare for something like that. I bet you just sort of take it in stride, and try to manage to lead a reasonably normal life, even if people are following you around while you’re getting your coffee.
Question: You realize that you’re going to be probably at Comic-Con next year.
Samuel: Probably, yeah.
Question: I covered Comic-Con, and I was talking to Kristen at Comic-Con this year. And it’s clearly a very surreal experience, even somebody like her, who’s sort of used to it. But, it’s – you’ll be in for an interesting experience.
Samuel: Yeah. Yeah.
Question: If you treat it with a sense of humor, you’ll probably be fine.
Samuel: I think so. And I guess I’m not under the microscope to the degree of intensity that other cast members are, so I’m kind of engaging with it in a way that hasn’t been too overwhelming.
Question: The upside of doing a movie like that, I guess, is that it does open up a lot more doors for you. I mean, did you notice that the doors were opening a little bit further, that you’re associated with such a big movie?
Samuel: Yeah, certainly. I think – you know, work kind of breeds work. And this opportunity has perhaps opened doors that may not have otherwise been open to me. Yeah. That’s a wonderful thing.
