Just when anticipation for November’s release of New Moon didn’t seem like it could get any higher, the new footage presented by the stars of the film at Comic-Con sent the crowded room of Twilighters into a whole new level of vampire frenzy.
As soon as the “Twilight” portion of Summit Entertainment’s panel began, fans started screaming and it didn’t stop once director Chris Weitz was joined onstage by Ashley Greene, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson. The room of mostly female fans erupted into deafening screams when Lautner and Pattinson entered, with dozens of them yelling, “I love you, Rob!” or “I love you, Taylor!” As the stars were asked about the filming of the movie, Lautner talked about how important his character’s various transformations were to the way he approached the role. “Jacob goes through a lot in this movie — he transforms mentally and emotionally,” Lautner explained. “The most challenging for me was physically, so I had a lot of hard work cut out for me after filming ‘Twilight.’ I worked really hard to transform Jacob’s body so I could portray him correctly for all you guys. And I hope you guys are pleased when you see the results.” Pattinson, on the other hand, joked that he didn’t have to do a lot of preparation for the scenes where he is a hallucination of Bella’s imagination. “Chris and the special-effects team designed a thing that basically allowed me to stand on a green box and look and stay basically expressionless,” he laughed. Because she loses Edward in “New Moon,” Bella is almost insane afterward. But Stewart said she thinks most people can identify with the experience in some way. “I don’t think you really truly know yourself unless you get to a point that’s as low as she gets in this,” she said. Stewart said it was difficult for her to play the role of Bella in this movie because it was so emotional, but credited Weitz for helping her get through the experience. “Chris is sort of the perfect guy to have done this. In the first one [with director] Catherine [Hardwicke] … everything was impulsive and natural and fast,” she said. “And in this case, we had more time to think … it was a little more cerebral. And considering what I had to go through in the movie, he’s one of the most compassionate, considerate people I’ve ever met. He made it so easy.” Weitz shared two sets of footage from the film, and both Jacob’s transformation and Bella’s hallucination were the subject of the first scene shown. Readers will remember the scene from the book when Jacob helps Bella ride her rebuilt motorcycle for the first time. The footage made it clear that if fans thought there was a lot of sexual tension between Pattinson and Stewart in Twilight, they’re going to see even more of it when Lautner’s character begins his transformation into Bella’s best friend.
In the footage, Bella gets on the motorcycle and then looks in Jacob’s eyes as he puts his hands on hers. Once she starts the bike, she begins to see Edward as a vision, telling her to stop as she rides it defiantly. She ends up falling and after Jacob rushes to her side, he sees the blood on her forehead.
The entire room of “Twilight” fans erupted in shrieks as the scene then showed Jacob removing his shirt to stop the bleeding. As Jacob treats her wound, Bella looks up at him and says, “You sure are beautiful.”
Jacob smiles and shakes his head. “How hard did you hit your head?”
The second set of footage also got screams of approval. A fan favorite from the books, it was the scene in Italy where Alice drives Bella to save Edward from an act of desperation. After riding in the yellow Porsche so familiar to “Twilight” fans, Bella runs from the car through a crowded celebration, running through the town square’s fountain when she sees Edward removing his shirt and stepping into the sun.
“Stop! Stop!” she yells. “Edward! Don’t!”
After the footage was shown, Weitz revealed a few surprises of his own. During the making of the film, Stewart twisted her ankle. And one line in the film is delivered by Jacob — in the Quileute language.
“I’m excited for you guys to hear it,” Lautner said. “It’s kind of fun.”
The director also told the audience that there is a lot more CGI and intense action in “New Moon” than there was in the first movie.
“And Taylor did every single stunt that he could possibly get his hands on. Every stunt except the ones that the insurance company said he wasn’t allowed to do,” Weitz said. “Really, if Jacob is doing something impressive in the film, it’s pretty much Taylor doing it.
“And Rob just kind of stood there looking good, basically,” the director joked to another round of screams from fans.
During the question-and-answer period, Pattinson and Stewart both alluded to all the attention they’ve been getting from fans and the media. When one fan asked the stars how they’ve grown since doing “Twilight,” Pattinson used what he called “a bad analogy” for the change he’s experienced since becoming so well-known.
“You just walk down the street and you just step on a stone,” he said in his British accent, reaching nervously for his hair. “And you’re just trying not to drown afterward. That’s my life.”
When another fan asked what each of the panel members were looking forward to filming in future movies, Stewart leaned forward and said, “I can’t wait to actually get pregnant,” she said with a laugh, alluding to not only Bella’s future pregnancy, but also the fact that one Australian tabloid ran a story saying she was pregnant with Pattinson’s child. The crowd knew what she meant and cheered in support.
Greene said she’s looking forward to working with director David Slade, who is slated to direct “Eclipse,” which starts filming next month. “I’m excited about this whole intense fight scene we’re supposed to have,” she said.
Lautner said he’s excited for the love triangle that builds in “Eclipse.” “And when me and this guy,” he said, pointing toward Pattinson beside him, “have to try to become friends to protect Bella.”
After the crowd yelled in support, Lautner admitted, “The sleeping bag scene! The sleeping bag scene! Yes!”
Weitz and the cast all acknowledged the fans several times, with Weitz saying it was a transformative experience for him professionally. “It’s been a tremendously rejuvenating process to me,” he said. “I remember now how fun it is to make a film.”
Robert Pattinson’s Twilight character, Edward, may remain a perpetual teenager – but the actor celebrated turning 23 on Wednesday. The star was joined by several of his New Moon castmates, including leading lady Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene and Jamie Campbell Bower at The Glowbal Grill and Satay Bar in Vancouver where they are filming. Pattinson and his pals were treated to champagne cocktails in the the V.I.P. section of the restaurant. They ordered rounds of shooters and feasted on Kobe beef meatballs, lamb, steak, salads and roasted vegetables. “Everyone enjoyed a hearty meal and had a good appetite,” said a source. But it’s wasn’t just a cozy night with friends. Pattison’s location was posted on Twitter, and soon hoards of fans descended on the restaurant trying to get pictures and autographs. “There was a lot of buzz and energy in the restaurant,” said the source. “Being in the same restaurant as Rob Pattinson for his birthday is great.” A fan told PEOPLE: “I was so happy to see Rob and help him celebrate his 23rd birthday. He took the time to meet us and take a picture with us, that was so cool.” After dinner, a platter of desserts was taken to the table where guests could choose between cheesecake, créme brulee, warm chocolate coffee cake and white chocolate mousse. Later, the group made their way to Afterglow, a small bar attached to the restaurant where they had drinks, talked and listened to music until close to 1 a.m.
Kristen Stewart thinks Robert Pattinson, Jackson Rathbone and the rest of the Cullens did a great job in Twilight. She thinks the way they showed their ‘connection’ was great. Kristen told Cinematical.com: “Yeah! They absolutely seemed to portray people that have been together not just for however long a normal family would be together…
“Families don’t always want to be together all the time; (the Cullens) have chosen to be together all the time; it’s different when you choose that, and absolutely I think they portrayed that; It’s something you see that’s so admirable, and you want to be part of it.”
We can’t wait to see the birthday party scene in New Moon and how Jackson goes for Bella. Kristen admitted that the worst part of making a film is doing interviews which we found really funny because she was doing an interview at the time. She was also asked what was the best part. Kristen replied: “Being done. At the beginning of a project, it’s like, so daunting. A lot of people were very celebratory (at the beginning of filming) because they knew that this was gonna be, like, “Oooh, it’s a big movie! We have a built-in fan base! You guys are doing great!” Yeah, but our job is so far from being done. “I’m always incredibly stressed out in the middle of making a movie, and once I’m finished, it’s like “Whew… done.” It’s finished, and I don’t have to stress out about it anymore; it’s a done deal.”
Seeing Kristen Stewart and her visiting boyfriend, Michael Angarano, walking hand in hand near the New Moon set in Vancouver might be a little disheartening to fans hoping for a real-life romance between the actress and her costar Robert Pattinson. Yet despite such wishful thinking on the part of many Twi-hards, Stewart insists it hasn’t affected her relationship with Angarano, telling USA Today that he’s “totally not a threatened guy.” Of course, the nonexistence of an offscreen love affair between the Twilight stars does keep the fantasy alive for millions of girls longing to one day find themselves in the comfort of Edward’s, er, Pattinson’s embrace. “They covet him,” says Stewart. “I think half of them are so jealous that they hate me.” Now there’s an understatement if we ever heard one.
They seem to have a great time together….either having fun in the snow, at a house party or just having a smoke….they still seem happy. Please let me know how u feel about all this……
New Moon is stocking up on new blood. Last week we told you that Kristen Stewart is getting some gorgeous competition in Noot Seear, but now Robert Pattinson had better watch out for Jamie Campbell Bower. Pattz’s fellow Brit, who also played a young lover (and singer) in Sweeney Todd with Johnny Depp, has been cast as Volturi leader Caius in the Twilight sequel. “Shooting has already begun, and I’m going over in June,” Campbell Bower tells the BBC, admitting that being a part of the popular series is “very exciting…It’s a great thing to be a part of, and it did very well last year.” He joins Seear and Dakota Fanning as the members of the Italy-based group of vampires, the casting of which has been slowly announced. “I do know who else will be in it—but I can’t tell you, unfortunately. But go online and have a look at the rumors,” he says, adding, “They’re all false. You’re putting me in a terrible situation.”
The rising star admittedly questions whether he’ll have the same effect on the ladies as a certain costar. “I doubt I’ll get the same sort of adulation as Robert—but it’s always nice when people recognize you for your work.”

Diligently at work on their new movie, Kristen Stewart teamed up with Taylor Lautner to film scenes for “New Moon” in Vancouver on Tuesday (March 31). The superstar pair stood side-by-side to start things off, with Kristen then filming a few action scenes during a solo shoot to cap off the day. Meanwhile, Kristen and Taylor’s co-star, Nikki Reed, took her turn on the set the previous day, looking in high spirits as she wandered about the set.
“New Moon” is the much-anticipated sequel to “Twilight,” with a theatrical release date set for November 20, 2009.
Late Tuesday night, mere hours before it was officially April Fools’ Day, blogs started to report that Robert Pattinson wouldn’t appear in “Twilight” sequel “New Moon.” All the sites had different reasons for RPattz’s exit from the film. PopSugar reported that he wanted out due to all the fan frenzy surrounding him and that he hoped to stick to smaller films in the future. The blog also said Taylor Lautner would assume the role of Edward Cullen. “Enraged fans have already started sending costume vampire teeth to Robert as a plea to get him back,” the post read. “But it looks like he’s sticking to his decision.” Meanwhile, ScreenRant.com reported that the “production of ‘New Moon’ has shut down due to a dispute on the set,” adding, “It seems that star Robert Pattinson has been butting heads with director Chris Weitz over not only script decisions, but apparent favoritism towards cast newcomer Dakota Fanning. Fanning has a much more established acting pedigree than Robert Pattinson, and according to reports, he’s pretty torqued about the difference in treatment on the set.” The site also had a new Edward Cullen lined up: Zac Efron. “Apparently the director and producers were impressed by Zac Efron’s performance in another teen-targeted film: ‘High School Musical,’ ” the post read. “They think Efron could be a good fit, and maybe even better than Robert Pattinson in the role and for the box office of future ‘Twilight’ films.”
For Twilight movie fans who are anxiously awaiting the sequel but haven’t read the second book in the vampire series, New Moon, the film’s star Robert Pattinson offers this advice — be ready for something different and perhaps a little strange. Pattinson became an overnight sensation playing a lovestruck vampire in the smash hit that sucked $373.4 million from global box offices, and he is in Vancouver this week starting production on the film version of New Moon. Before that sequel lands in theatres in November, Pattinson plays eccentric painter Salvador Dali in Little Ashes, which opens in art houses May 8 and tells of a homosexual love affair between Dali and the poet Federico Garcia Lorca. But for now his turn as immortal vampire Edward Cullen, who falls in love with high school girl Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) in Twilight, has catapulted him to fame and his fans are dying for details on New Moon. Pattinson, for one, is cautious. “The book of New Moon, the majority of it is incredibly depressing,” Pattinson said. “Obviously Twilight was about finding first love and the difficulties of that, but New Moon is really about loss and reconciliation, but the reconciliation isn’t completely full. It’s a strange story to have for a market that, I guess, wants to see a love story. “Nevertheless, the London-born Pattinson said everyone involved is working to make New Moon as big a success as Twilight.
Pattinson’s rising star has turned the former model into a favourite target of the paparazzi. Only last year, he was a relatively unknown actor whose big film credits were supporting roles in a pair of Harry Potter movies.
The gorgeous, violet-eyed vamp that leads unsuspecting humans to their death in “New Moon” will be played by a fashion model, according to E Online. 25-year-old runway model Noot Seear will be the face of the vampire vixen that is described in the book as “not only the fisherman, but also the bait.” Anna Lynne McCord, who plays Naomi on “90210,” was in talks for the role last month. The news that she will not be joining the cast will likely disappoint her good friend, and rumored boyfriend, Kellan Lutz, who plays Emmett Cullen. If you haven’t heard of Seear, don’t feel bad. Known for her “pout and cheekbones” according to New York Magazine, the Canadian model was styled as the Mona Lisa for Yves Saint Laurent’s 1998 ad campaign. Her runway and advertising credits include Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Vera Wang and Pantene Pro-V. She has also been featured in such heavy-hitters as Cosmopolitan and Vanity Fair. This beauty was born in Vancouver, where Chris Weitz and team are currently shooting “New Moon,” Does this mean that she won’t get to take the trip to Italy? Here’s a fun bit of Twilight trivia: her real name is Renata Seear. If that name sounds familiar, it is because Renata was Aro’s bodyguard, mentioned in Breaking Dawn.
Will Renata do justice to the role of one of the most beautiful and deadly vampires in the series? Please let all of us Twilight fans know below!!!
As legions of “Twilight” fans no doubt already know, the vampire Edward Cullen leaves behind his town—and his true love, Bella—at the beginning of “New Moon.” That’s some heavy stuff, so it’s no surprise that the actress who plays Bella views the second book as considerably more harsh than the first one. “It’s a struggle,” Kristen Stewart told the Los Angeles Times. “It’s almost lower-key, almost depressing. It’s more tragic this time around. It’s not as sunshine and roses.” That’s not to say the original movie was some G-rated, feel-good popcorn flick. After all, Edward and Bella had to fight off blood-thirsty vampires throughout the film, and Ms. Swan eventually wound up in the hospital after a nasty bite. But a vampire noshing on your flesh is nothing compared to being left behind by your true love. “[Bella] loses him, which is certainly a crazy concept for me to accept because that’s the basis for the entire first movie,” Stewart said. Losing Edward means Bella dives into the troubling world of werewolves with her friend Jacob Black. But that adversity seems to be an opportunity for the teenage character to mature. “She grows up quite a bit,” the 18-year-old actress said. “She’s forced to, and she’s got strength and inner determination. A lot of people in her situation would be like, ‘OK, done.’” While Bella is beset by challenges throughout “New Moon,” Stewart believes that with “Twilight” under her belt, making the second movie will be, if not easier, than certainly a fresh experience. “The beginning is different,” she said. “Pre-production is different. I’m not trying to make something. It’s already there, just going back into it. Different. It’s just a continuation.” The continuation, of course, has already began. Filming is underway in Vancouver and the cast grows almost every day. The latest additions are Canadian model Noot Seear (who will play Heidi) and British actor Jamie Campbell-Bower (who will play Caius). “It’s a different movie,” says Stewart, “but a lot happens.”
Which of the first two books did you prefer? Does darker “Twilight” material mean a better movie—or just different? Please make comments and let us know!!
Despite the near Twi-Twit riot Kristen Stewart caused via her interview in Nylon Magazine, in which she seemingly bashed the crazed fans, K told us she’s actually thrilled to get back into New Moon. And we sorta believe her. “We’re going to pick up right here we left off,” she said with as much enthusiasm as Kristen can possibly emit (she’s not exactly the bubbly chick). That said, she had deets to offer:“I’m so excited because the story is scaled down a little bit. [Edward] leaves her, and that’s sort of what the entire first movie is based on,” K.S. semi-enthused. So if you take that away, there is still a story, which I think is impressive.” Holy smokes, Twi-Twits! Is that a genuine compliment about the Twilight franchise Stewart previously termed “ridiculous”? Maybe. And which costar is Stewart most decidedly unambivalent about seeing again?
A.T.: Who are you most excited to see when you get up to Vancouver?
K.T.: “Taylor Lautner!” screamed the woman who supposedly romanced—onscreen and off—mega-vamp hunk Rob Pattinson. “[Lautner]’s still playing Jacob and that’s, like, the coolest thing.” Stewart practically drooled: “He’s buff, too. ‘Cause that’s so important,” she added sarcastically, as if that snap-save was going to throw us off one damn bit. (She totally didn’t get the uproar ‘bout cutie Lautner not being able to play Jacob because he wasn’t strong enough, and we didn’t either.)
A.T.: So is he up to the challenge of taking Rob’s place?
K.S.: He’s so good, and that will be a feat, but I think he’s got it.
A.T.: You’re excited then about the new direction of this film?
K.S.: I can’t wait to see how [Jacob] is able to pull [Bella] out, but he does. She’s like a zombie and he’s the light. It’s such a tragic story. It’s like, ‘That’s who I should be with, but I’m totally in love with the guy I shouldn’t be with.’ Girls are like that. It’s relatable.
Relatable or retardable? Both?
Oh, and judging by the way K.S. gushed, looks like Taylor has almost dethroned Patz in her mind. Maybe Rob and Kristen really are just good friends? Now, maybe.
We kinda think Taylor and Stewart look kinda cute together…no?

Robert Pattinson’s Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart has denied that she is romantically involved with the handsome actor.Kristen admitted she is fed up with people assuming they are a couple in real life: “If we go out in public, every little detail is scrutinised, like the way I stand next to him. And it’s like, I know this guy really well.” Kristen told Nylon magazine: “Rob and I are good friends. We went through a lot together, so we feel very close.” But the onscreen romance ends when the cameras stop rolling, she added.
We all understand why fans want Kristen and Rob together in real life….because Bella and Edward are together! The way fans llok at Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart is as Bella and Edward but if you look at them as who they really are in real life then you might look at it differently. For example, if instead of Robert Pattinson playing Edward….another actor would’ve played Edward…then most likely the fans would want those two together…and that’s what the media wants you to believe because that’s when the fans buy the magazines and the publisher makes money that way. I am not saying that they don’t look good together and that they don’t have chemistry because they really do…that’s why the movie has such a great romance plot. Like look at them in this picture….it’s just like good friends…now I also understand that you see what your mind wants you to see. But don’t you guys have real close friends that you get along with a lot but it’s just better to stay as friends you know….Kristen has her boyfriend for years now so before fame and everything came her way he was there for her so you have to respect that…… But please don’t take it out on the actors….it’s just very stressful for them….ttyl and until the next one!!!

Huge news, everyone! (Yes, every little piece of Twilight is a major deal.) The sequel’s official name and title artwork have been unveiled. And despite earlier reports that the movie would be known as The Twilight Saga’s New Moon, the title will remain New Moon according to the movie’s rep. They just have Twilight Saga in the artwork to identify it for anyone less devoted than your average fanggirl. But there is a distinguishing difference in this title sequence, which will be in orange rather than the blue of the original. Also in our Twilight Internet monitoring… Rumor has it that Paramore will remain the series’ official house band, penning another title track to add to “Decode”. And now for some bad news for those looking forward to more Robert Pattinsonwarbling over his acoustic guitar: The moody but sparkly vampire just might not appear on the soundtrack. Pattz tells OK!, “I really didn’t want it to look like I was trying to cash in.” So humble and self-aware that one. Well, that’s all we got for now, but don’t worry—we’ve still got nine months left to uncover little details like these.
Robert Pattinson at the 81st Academy Awards in Los Angeles
Natalie Portman
Robert Pattinson may have been a bit freaked out about the prospect of presenting at the Oscars, but rumor has it that the “Twilight” star found the perfect way to unwind later Sunday night: by flirting with Natalie Portman. “[Portman] seemed really into him and went right up to say hello once she spotted him,” a Pattinson pal told a source after they were spotted talking to each other at the famed Vanity Fair Oscar Party. The friend added that “whiskey and Natalie Portman” helped the young star deal with his nerves. Although Pattinson and Portman, who could possibly be a closeted Twilighter, were seen chatting it up at the party, Pattinson reportedly went home all by his lonesome (much to the relief of Team Edward members the world over). “It’s insane,” Pattinson said of his Oscar gig on the red carpet, where he also discussed work on the upcoming “Twilight” sequels: “New Moon” and “Eclipse”. “When they first told me about this, I was like, ‘No, no, no, no, no, you’re joking — or I’m going to have to do something really stupid like get gunged [slimed]!” The man who is better known as Edward Cullen represented “Twilight” alongside “Mamma Mia!” star Amanda Seyfried, where the duo presented a montage of romantic movies. “I had to become a vampire to find the right woman,” he joked onstage, demonstrating the difficulties of modern love.
For all you crazy fans that missed Robert Pattinson last weekend presenting at the 81st Academy Awards at the Mann Theatre in Hollywood, CA. Here is the presentation made by Robert Pattinson:
One of today’s most recognized guys in the world right now is Robert Pattinson which made an appearance at the 81st Academy Awards on Sunday, February 22, 2009 which was aired by ABC Network Live from Hollywood. What most people asked was: Why isn’t Kristen there with Robert? Well her dad commented that “she will present at the Oscars when she has done a great movie, not one that just sold a lot and made a lot of money”. You see last year’s Oscars were on of the lowest ratings the Oscar’s have ever had. So this year they brought people that are very recognized such as cast from High School Musical, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, which they even performed a song. What people forget about Awards such as Golden Globes, Emmy’s and..yes…The Oscars, is that even though it’s recognizing the best performance for that year and hard work from the production crew all the way to the post-production crew. It all comes down that it is a business and because it’s a business, it has to revenue. That is why a lot of actors which I don’t personally know Kristen Stewart or Robert Pattinson but you can tell that they don’t really like the whole PR part of the business. You see back 20 or 40 years ago, they were still movie stars but the people that were in it was because of their love towards performing not just for the money. Now of course you have to eat and sustain your self but you really don’t need 100 million in your account because you might not even use it all, now it’s good to have but not necessary. Actors like Kristen Stewart are the only reason why Showbiz is such a good business and that’s why a lot of her movies have had great performances made by her. Now, a lot of her movies have also been only to Festivals which stay within the industry but you realize that she really loves the industry and that’s very strange to find in a young actor as herself. I am not saying that Robert Pattinson or any of the other actors are in it for the money because come one it’s The Oscars but every person, and yes that’s including actors, has their own purpose in what they do, whether it’s entertaining people, trying to change their point of view, touch people in a unique way, the bottom line is that they all have their own purpose and their own goals and they work very very hard to get their and for that they deserve merits. Some actors don’t even want to be famous or an academy award actor. Like some would love to be in that position so please don’t judge any of the actors that participated at the Oscars or lack their of. Just accept the great performances such as Heath Ledger as The Joker.
With rumors flying that young stars like Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus and Robert Pattinsonare going to make appearances in one form or another at Sunday’s Academy Awards, it seems that producers are attempting to recover from last year’s all time low ratings, perhaps with a little stunt casting.
Efron is rumored to be presenting Best Original Song and hitting the stage with his “High School Musical” co-star and real-life girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens, E! Onlince reports. Sources told the site that the Disney stars will join Beyonce and host, Hugh Jackman onstage for a musical number directed by “Australia” helmer Baz Luhrman. “Mamma Mia!” stars Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper are also rumored to be participating in the number if their scheduling conflicts are resolved.
The show’s producers have said that for this year’s broadcast they want to shake things up, so lining up a roster of young megastars may be just the formula to do that. Rumors began surfacing on Monday that “Twilight” heartthrob Robert Pattinson will present an award. No word yet on what he’ll be presenting or if Kristen Stewart will be by his side.
Of course, we can’t forget the presence of the teen queen herself, Miley Cyrus. While Hannah Montana isn’t yet scheduled to take the stage to perform or present, E! reports that she will be present in support of “Bolt,” which is up for Best Animated Feature.
Reps from the Academy Awards had not responded for comment on the rumored lineup by press time.
Despite being offered a huge sum of money to come onboard, Catherine Hardwicke decided not to direct Twilight sequel New Moon. The director told Entertainment Weekly that she didn’t want to make the film under the deadline and budget restraints that would have been placed on her for the follow-up, reports the Associated Press. She recalls being at dinner with Twilight stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in Paris when she got the call from Summit Entertainment, which offered her “more money than I or anyone in my family has ever seen.” But, she added that with the payday came tight budget restraints and deadlines. “I was devastated,” said Hardwick, who will release her book “Twilight: Director’s Notebook” in March. “I really did feel a strong connection to the people around the world that liked the movie, and to Stephenie and the actors. But I just didn’t think I could make a good movie under those circumstances.” A spokesperson for Summit Entertainment had no comment about the report. “New Moon,” which is due out on November 20, will now be directed by “Golden Compass” director Chris Weitz, , and both Pattinson and Stewart will reprise their roles as lovestruck Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.
For “New Moon,” Dakota Fanning has been rumored and shown interest in joining the cast as Jane. And it was recently reported that although Vanessa Hudgens auditioned for the part of Leah Clearwater, that character will most likely not appear in “New Moon.” And in a scenario that would surely fulfill many a fan dream, the Jonas Brothers have recently shown interest in having a part on the “New Moon” soundtrack. “The movie was obviously a huge success, and if they asked us to be a part of [the sequel], that would be great,” Nick Jonas told MTV News. “That would be really cool,” agreed Joe and Kevin about the prospect.
When she declines an offer like directing New Moon for these reasons, you can really tell that she is in it for the right reasons, hence, a great movie like Twilight….
Robert Pattinson isn’t just a pretty face. He is an actor who cares about the parts he plays and puts time and effort into researching each role.
Rob might be most famous for playing Edward Cullen in Twilight but he also played Salvador Dali in Little Ashes.
When About.com asked him whether playing Salvador Dali was similar to playing Edward, Robert replied: “It’s not that similar, but again it’s iconic because I guess that Edward is an iconic character too.
“But I just did the same thing, breakdown what you know about him.
“Also, there’s a ton of literature which he wrote and about him and then you just kind of build that back up again. Also, when I was playing him it was when he was very young, 18 to 26 and the story is about his descent or assent into this caricature of which everyone knows.
“He was this chronically shy kid when he was younger.
“So it’s really not playing Dali, per se, apart from towards the end of it – and I’m still not really playing him. It’s more the mood of Dali I think.”
Twilight Saga consists of: Twilight, New Moon Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn

She’s been laying low-key as of late, but Kristen Stewart was spotted out taking care of her pet pooch in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon (February 3). The “Twilight” actress toted her dog to the Westlake Village Animal Hospital, dressed casually in jeans and a grey hooded sweatshirt. Meanwhile, Kristen just recently spoke to press about the “instant bond” she had with “Twilight” co-star Robert Pattinson. “The chemistry between artists is difficult to define. But in my case when I looked at Robert it was like I could look into his heart, and he could do the same, and that was very important,” Stewart says. “That’s how I would describe the chemistry between us.”
Another identifiable face!!!!! That of a “90210” star may soon be entering the “Twilight” zone. So much for finding fresh exciting new talent, eh? Although for parts like this they like to go with recognized people. E! Gossip Hound Marc Malkin reports exclusively that filmmakers are considering casting “90210” star AnnaLynne McCord as Heidi in the upcoming “New Moon.” But her part –- that of a seductive “fisher” who brings humans to the Volturi to feed on — isn’t large, so don’t freak out and go all “Oooh Noooo She didn’t”! on us. According to E!, McCord has auditioned for the role. At least, she’d have company on the set. Her “90210” costar Kellan Lutz — and her rumored real life BF — plays Emmett in “Twilight” and will also be in “New Moon.” Coincidence? What do you think? No confirmation from reps or from Summit Entertainment. All we can do for now is wait….. Let’s see what happens!!!
In Youtube they are having like a competition of which fan made trailer is the best. From my perspective this user (tiffanyd666) has one of the best videos posted. Keep stopping by because as we go closer to fall, more and more teasers are going to come out and you will be able to find them here. In this video, Steven Strait was used because their wasn’t enough footage of Taylor Lautner. I thought it would be fun to also talk about how is are the audiences is reacting to this new phenomenon, New Moon. Besides all the gossip and rumors of the actors, trying to destroy their confidence and security in themselves, on this blog I only want to talk about them in a professional level NOT on a personal level.

Robert Pattinson might have millions of female fans but some of them are quite scary. Poor Rob can’t even find refuge at home. They have found out where he lives and they are determined to get to know the Twilight star personally. Rob told OK magazine: “There was a group of girls that left little notes in my car, outside of my apartment. “One of the first notes said: I’m not weird, but please call me. The next day the note said: Please don’t ignore me. And the next day it said I’m going to kill myself if you keep ignoring me! (But I’m not weird, ok?).”
Robert Pattinson Dates a Stalker
Robert Pattinson has just admitted that he took a stalker on a date. He revealed all to Creme magazine. Rob said: “I had a stalker while filming a movie in Spain last year. She stood outside of my apartment every day for weeks – all day every day. I was so bored and lonely that I went out and had dinner with her. I just complained about everything in my life and she never came back.” He added “People get bored of me in, like, two minutes.”
Robert Pattinson’s Parent Warning
Robert Pattinson might have lots of female fans but some parents can’t stand the Twilight hero. They think he isn’t a good role model for their daughters as he looks like he is seducing Kristen Stewart on the Twilight movie poster. They just don’t understand the real message behind the film. Rob explained to OK magazine: “They should keep in mind that vampires can’t have sex. “That theme is very important for parents, because in the books there’s an underlying message of abstinence and how important it is. I also think that the character of Bella in kind of a role model because she’s sensitive and passionate. To be honest, the content in Twilight is pretty harmless.” Even when Bella and Edward have sex in the fourth book, Breaking Dawn, it is after they get married.
Rob Pattinson’s Special Smell
Robert Pattinson fans don’t seem to mind that their favorite actor doesn’t like washing or changing his clothes. They love his honesty in interviews and the fact that he isn’t like other young Hollywood actors. When he was asked by OK magazine if the rumor that he hates having to change clothes was true Rob replied: “Yes, I rarely do it. For this interview I wore this clean pair of jeans, but there have been moments were I can’t even stand my own smell.” Rob explained why he struggles to change clothes: “I just have very few clothes that I like. And I’m always travelling, so I have no time to wash it. It’s pathetic, why am I telling you this?” Apparently, fans don’t mind how he smells…
Robert Pattinson’s Hair Trauma
Robert Pattinson has finally revealed the reason why his hair is so important to him. He might have chopped it all off before Christmas but it is believed that he is growing it back for New Moon. Rob told OK magazine: “It’s just grease. I just don’t wash it, ever. “My dad loved to brush my hair (when I was younger) and I hated that. Its funny how part of my personality has a lot to do with my hair.” Rob constantly runs his fingers through his hands during interviews and many fans long to see his trademark locks back. It also helps him get into character.
Rob’s Special Girl
If you want to date Robert Pattinson you need to know a little bit about what he likes. It doesn’t matter what color your hair is or how tall you are as the 22-year-old British actor doesn’t have a type. Robert told OK magazine: “I don’t know…my tastes change all the time. I used to love crazy girls who were hard to get. But it’s not anymore. Right now I don’t have a special type.” Could Rob be hinting that he might have met his perfect girl? Rob added: “If anyone needs me to protect her, I will. But unlike my character, I’m not overprotective at all.” A lot of his fans will be happy to read this.
Robert Pattinson likes pretending that he’s been in prison. He might seem confident onscreen but he isn’t when it comes to chatting up girls in real life. Rob told Creme magazine: “Sometimes I sit next to a girl and say in a really serious voice, ‘I just got out’ (of prison). You should see the horror in their eyes. I guess I’m not really a chat-up line guy. I prefer them to come up to me.” Rob seems to think that there’s something about him that girls don’t like. He added: “I’m a relationship kind of guy, but no-one seems to want to get into a relationship with me.”
Robert Pattinson Loves Being Antisocial
Robert Pattinson seems to enjoy challenging himself and wasn’t afraid to cut himself off whilst filming Twilight. He spoke about the passion he has for acting in an interview for Tu magazine. Rob said: “I don’t like the word acting. I prefer the word creating, because I want to build a character with an idea that turns into something that people will remember. In every job that I’ve done, I’ve put something of my life into it; I try to add my life into the movie. Every period of my life in which I’ve played a different character, I’ve been a different person.
Rob the rebel: “I have friends and different lifestyles. In real life I’ve never been completely antisocial, although I was a bit when we were shooting in Portland, and that comes with small disadvantages.
“If you don’t speak to another person in a few weeks, you start feeling afraid of them, even when you order food at a restaurant. If I didn’t go to pubs or bars I would be running away in the middle of the night (laughs).”
Robert Pattinson’s Big Refusal
Robert Pattinson has never been afraid to speak his mind. It’s a good job; otherwise we would have seen a very different Edward Cullen in Twilight. Rob was really shocked when he was told what hair and makeup he would be expected to wear in the film. He told BOP magazine: “Initially they wanted me to wear really long vampire hair, down to my waist. That wasn’t going to happen!” Rob also struggled with his contact lenses. He explained: “I can’t wear contacts. It took me 20 minutes to get them in every morning.”
Kristen Stewart Opens Her Heart To Robert Pattinson
We all want to see Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson step out in real life.
Everyone can see that they have a special bond and would look great together.
Kristen recently told Tu magazine: “The chemistry between artists is difficult to define.
“But in my case when I looked at Robert it was like I could look into his heart, and he could do the same, and that was very important.
“That’s how I would describe the chemistry between us.”
When Rob was asked if he thought great chemistry could be created he replied: “You can create it, in a way. But since the beginning of this project something happened with Kristen and she made me feel so good.
“On the other hand, if you stay in character for too long the good chemistry will just disappear.”
Although the production company is using most people from the last hit, Twilight, but Lana Veenker which was one of the Casting Directors for several productions including Twilight, said that they will not be even considering for extras unless you live in that area because they are trying to save money. Idk about that because when the movie came out back in November, Summit Entertainment was waiting to see how the opening weekend did at the box office. They said that if the movie revenued over 150 mil then they will consider doing New Moon but once they saw the number that finished at approx. 70 million in the opening weekend, I think they loved Warner Bros. for pushing back Harry Potter to July. Just to let you guys know, the movie has revenued an approximate 185 million in the US alone!!! And then add another 140 million worldwide!! Thats a an approximate of 325 million!!!!!!! Remember the productions budget for Twilight was only 37 million and they made an incredible movie. I cant wait to see how New Moon does in November 20, 2009 although the release date was made public before they even finished pre-production!!!!! Maybe Catherine Hardwicke was making a good point…who knows….let’s see what The Golden Compass and American Pie Director brings to the table he said “We are in a recession,” reminds one insider. “It’s a hit franchise. Whoever steps into it is guaranteed a $100 million gross. Everyone wants this movie.” Adds an exec at another studio, “You’d have to have a very high standard for art, hate the movie business, and hate money to walk off this sequel.”
With Dakota Fanning tapped in for the role of Volturi vampire Jane in Twilight sequel New Moon, the casting of Alec, Jane’s undead twin brother, is director Chris Weitz’s next challenge. A lot of people in Hollywood are criticizing a lot Summit Entertainment for changing Catherine but let’s not forget that there were people criticizing Robert Pattinson and they didn’t want him on the movie but it turned out GREAT!
Compared to Jane, “his hair was darker, and his lips were not as full, but he was just as lovely,” writes author Stephenie Meyer of Alec in New Moon.
He Already possesses the evil fans…I am talking about the arch-nemesis of Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy or Tom Felton, over here in the real world, I do believe he can play Alec very well. Some other suggestions???? How about Sharpay’s brother from High School Musical, Lucas Grabeel could follow his serious turn in Milk with an even darker one as the bloodsucking vampire. Also French actor Gaspard Ulliel of Hannibal Rising can bring alot of potential to the set of New Moon in March. Freddie Highmore, who sweetly stole scenes in Willy Wonka and Finding Neverland, could bring out his bad side, Freddie just remember when you were on set trying to act and the frustration should come out natural!! hahahaha
As two of the Volturi’s highest-ranking guards, Alec and Jane are fearsome foes of immortal Edward and his human love Bella, to be played again in New Moon by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
Which rising star do you think can best embody the evil Alec? Please comment because I want to see your feedback…. There is a poll in People’s website. I wanna check it out and discuss who the public thinks deserves the role….
Robert Pattinson’s Twilight character, Edward, may remain a perpetual teenager – but the actor celebrated turning 23 on Wednesday. The star was joined by several of his New Moon castmates, including leading lady Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene and Jamie Campbell Bower at The Glowbal Grill and Satay Bar in Vancouver where they are filming. Pattinson and his pals were treated to champagne cocktails in the the V.I.P. section of the restaurant. They ordered rounds of shooters and feasted on Kobe beef meatballs, lamb, steak, salads and roasted vegetables. “Everyone enjoyed a hearty meal and had a good appetite,” said a source. But it’s wasn’t just a cozy night with friends. Pattison’s location was posted on Twitter, and soon hoards of fans descended on the restaurant trying to get pictures and autographs. “There was a lot of buzz and energy in the restaurant,” said the source. “Being in the same restaurant as Rob Pattinson for his birthday is great.” A fan told PEOPLE: “I was so happy to see Rob and help him celebrate his 23rd birthday. He took the time to meet us and take a picture with us, that was so cool.” After dinner, a platter of desserts was taken to the table where guests could choose between cheesecake, créme brulee, warm chocolate coffee cake and white chocolate mousse. Later, the group made their way to Afterglow, a small bar attached to the restaurant where they had drinks, talked and listened to music until close to 1 a.m.
Kristen Stewart thinks Robert Pattinson, Jackson Rathbone and the rest of the Cullens did a great job in Twilight. She thinks the way they showed their ‘connection’ was great. Kristen told Cinematical.com: “Yeah! They absolutely seemed to portray people that have been together not just for however long a normal family would be together…
Seeing Kristen Stewart and her visiting boyfriend, Michael Angarano, walking hand in hand near the New Moon set in Vancouver might be a little disheartening to fans hoping for a real-life romance between the actress and her costar Robert Pattinson. Yet despite such wishful thinking on the part of many Twi-hards, Stewart insists it hasn’t affected her relationship with Angarano, telling USA Today that he’s “totally not a threatened guy.” Of course, the nonexistence of an offscreen love affair between the Twilight stars does keep the fantasy alive for millions of girls longing to one day find themselves in the comfort of Edward’s, er, Pattinson’s embrace. “They covet him,” says Stewart. “I think half of them are so jealous that they hate me.” Now there’s an understatement if we ever heard one.
Late Tuesday night, mere hours before it was officially April Fools’ Day, blogs started to report that Robert Pattinson wouldn’t appear in “Twilight” sequel “New Moon.” All the sites had different reasons for RPattz’s exit from the film. PopSugar reported that he wanted out due to all the fan frenzy surrounding him and that he hoped to stick to smaller films in the future. The blog also said Taylor Lautner would assume the role of Edward Cullen. “Enraged fans have already started sending costume vampire teeth to Robert as a plea to get him back,” the post read. “But it looks like he’s sticking to his decision.” Meanwhile, ScreenRant.com reported that the “production of ‘New Moon’ has shut down due to a dispute on the set,” adding, “It seems that star Robert Pattinson has been butting heads with director Chris Weitz over not only script decisions, but apparent favoritism towards cast newcomer Dakota Fanning. Fanning has a much more established acting pedigree than Robert Pattinson, and according to reports, he’s pretty torqued about the difference in treatment on the set.” The site also had a new Edward Cullen lined up: Zac Efron. “Apparently the director and producers were impressed by Zac Efron’s performance in another teen-targeted film: ‘High School Musical,’ ” the post read. “They think Efron could be a good fit, and maybe even better than Robert Pattinson in the role and for the box office of future ‘Twilight’ films.”
For Twilight movie fans who are anxiously awaiting the sequel but haven’t read the second book in the vampire series, New Moon, the film’s star Robert Pattinson offers this advice — be ready for something different and perhaps a little strange. Pattinson became an overnight sensation playing a lovestruck vampire in the smash hit that sucked $373.4 million from global box offices, and he is in Vancouver this week starting production on the film version of New Moon. Before that sequel lands in theatres in November, Pattinson plays eccentric painter Salvador Dali in Little Ashes, which opens in art houses May 8 and tells of a homosexual love affair between Dali and the poet Federico Garcia Lorca. But for now his turn as immortal vampire Edward Cullen, who falls in love with high school girl Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) in Twilight, has catapulted him to fame and his fans are dying for details on New Moon. Pattinson, for one, is cautious. “The book of New Moon, the majority of it is incredibly depressing,” Pattinson said. “Obviously Twilight was about finding first love and the difficulties of that, but New Moon is really about loss and reconciliation, but the reconciliation isn’t completely full. It’s a strange story to have for a market that, I guess, wants to see a love story. “Nevertheless, the London-born Pattinson said everyone involved is working to make New Moon as big a success as Twilight.
The gorgeous, violet-eyed vamp that leads unsuspecting humans to their death in “New Moon” will be played by a fashion model, according to E Online. 25-year-old runway model Noot Seear will be the face of the vampire vixen that is described in the book as “not only the fisherman, but also the bait.” Anna Lynne McCord, who plays Naomi on “90210,” was in talks for the role last month. The news that she will not be joining the cast will likely disappoint her good friend, and rumored boyfriend, Kellan Lutz, who plays Emmett Cullen. If you haven’t heard of Seear, don’t feel bad. Known for her “pout and cheekbones” according to New York Magazine, the Canadian model was styled as the Mona Lisa for Yves Saint Laurent’s 1998 ad campaign. Her runway and advertising credits include Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Vera Wang and Pantene Pro-V. She has also been featured in such heavy-hitters as Cosmopolitan and Vanity Fair. This beauty was born in Vancouver, where Chris Weitz and team are currently shooting “New Moon,” Does this mean that she won’t get to take the trip to Italy? Here’s a fun bit of Twilight trivia: her real name is Renata Seear. If that name sounds familiar, it is because Renata was Aro’s bodyguard, mentioned in Breaking Dawn.
As legions of “Twilight” fans no doubt already know, the vampire Edward Cullen leaves behind his town—and his true love, Bella—at the beginning of “New Moon.” That’s some heavy stuff, so it’s no surprise that the actress who plays Bella views the second book as considerably more harsh than the first one. “It’s a struggle,” Kristen Stewart told the Los Angeles Times. “It’s almost lower-key, almost depressing. It’s more tragic this time around. It’s not as sunshine and roses.” That’s not to say the original movie was some G-rated, feel-good popcorn flick. After all, Edward and Bella had to fight off blood-thirsty vampires throughout the film, and Ms. Swan eventually wound up in the hospital after a nasty bite. But a vampire noshing on your flesh is nothing compared to being left behind by your true love. “[Bella] loses him, which is certainly a crazy concept for me to accept because that’s the basis for the entire first movie,” Stewart said. Losing Edward means Bella dives into the troubling world of werewolves with her friend Jacob Black. But that adversity seems to be an opportunity for the teenage character to mature. “She grows up quite a bit,” the 18-year-old actress said. “She’s forced to, and she’s got strength and inner determination. A lot of people in her situation would be like, ‘OK, done.’” While Bella is beset by challenges throughout “New Moon,” Stewart believes that with “Twilight” under her belt, making the second movie will be, if not easier, than certainly a fresh experience. “The beginning is different,” she said. “Pre-production is different. I’m not trying to make something. It’s already there, just going back into it. Different. It’s just a continuation.” The continuation, of course, has already began. Filming is underway in Vancouver and the cast grows almost every day. The latest additions are Canadian model Noot Seear (who will play Heidi) and British actor Jamie Campbell-Bower (who will play Caius). “It’s a different movie,” says Stewart, “but a lot happens.” 
Despite the near Twi-Twit riot Kristen Stewart caused via her interview in Nylon mag, in which she seemingly bashed the crazed fans, K told us she’s actually thrilled to get back into New Moon. And we sorta believe her. “We’re going to pick up right where we left off,” she said with as much enthusiasm as Kristen can possibly emit (she’s not exactly the bubbly chick). That said, she had deets to offer:
Robert Pattinson’s Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart has denied that she is romantically involved with the handsome actor. Kristen admitted she is fed up with people assuming they are a couple in real life: “If we go out in public, every little detail is scrutinised, like the way I stand next to him. And it’s like, I know this guy really well.” Kristen told Nylon magazine: “Rob and I are good friends. We went through a lot together, so we feel very close.” But the onscreen romance ends when the cameras stop rolling, she added.
