New Moon Trailer Recap, Plus Bella’s Thong

Here’s a great video recap of the New Moon trailer which calls your attention to some details you might have missed in all the excitement. Also, did you notice during the trailer that Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan flashes a pink thong during the wolf transformation sequence at around 1:33? Oops!

Pros And Cons of the New Moon Trailer

So, was Taylor Lautner right or was he right? How many of you recorded the The Twilight Saga: New Moon trailer on your DVR so you could watch it over and over again? I forgot to, but I did stay up and rewatch the replay of the entire MTV Movie Awards broadcast for another look at it. So now that we've all seen it a couple thousand times, let's start tackling the big questions. Was switching directors a good idea? Will the special effects look better than in Twilight? Will there be enough Edward? Will Team Jacob be satisfied? Laremy offered a quick take on the trailer in his live blog of the MTV Movie Awards last night, but here's an in-depth look at the trailer's pros and cons:

Pros:

1. Werewolves!: Andy Samberg had a little fun with the audience, teasing everyone with a homemade video of a Dracula vs. Teen Wolf basketball match-up before bringing out Lautner, Kristen Stewart, and Robert Pattinson to introduce the real clip. But even the staunchest Team Edward supporters have to admit the trailer's most exciting moment was undisputedly the glimpse of Jacob phasing into wolf form. We didn't get to see what happened after Jacob gets his claws into Laurent, but that high-flying leap has me already convinced it will be a hundred percent more exciting than Edward's relatively wimpy face-off with James in Twilight. Pattinson and Cam Gigandet better not get too attached to that golden bucket of popcorn they got for winning the "Best Fight" award last night.

2. You can see where the money was spent this time: Everything in this trailer looked richer than in Twilight, from the special effects when Edward shoves Jasper into the piano to the vampires' makeup to Bella's wardrobe. This time around, Summit clearly spent enough money to make a movie worthy of the fan fervor the Twilight saga inspires.

Cons:

1. How much Edward are we getting?: New Moon sets up one of the primary conflicts of the Twilight saga -- Bella finds herself caught between her love for a vampire and her friendship with a werewolf. Jacob is Bella's only comfort after Edward decides he must leave her in order to keep her safe. But as we all know by now, Twilight turned Robert Pattinson into a major star, and millions of hearts will be broken if his role in New Moon is reduced as drastically as it is in the novel. We've been promised over and over that New Moon will have plenty of Edward to go around, but the trailer didn't answer the question of how exactly they're going to give us that. And if they do rewrite the story in order to keep Edward around longer, will it upset the fans who want to see an accurate representation of the books they love? And will it be fair to Taylor Lautner and all the Jacob fans out there?

2. Volturi, anyone?: Despite the presence of all those dreamy vampires, Twilight took place in a realistic world we could all recognize as the one we live in. But the climax of New Moon brings us to Italy, and into the castle of the bizarrely regal Volturi vampire clan. These scenes are meant to be scary in the book, but if handled incorrectly, they could easily end up looking just plain silly on screen. I wish the trailer would've offered a glimpse at them.

3. Was anyone else bummed we didn't get to see Alice's yellow Porsche? Oh well. I guess they just needed to save a few things for when the movie comes out in November.

Can Anyone Beat Robert Pattinson For Breakthrough Male Performance?

In order to be nominated for Breakthrough Male Performance at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, you had to be foreign, dreamy, British, funny or a combination of all four.

The obvious front-runner is "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson, who has a rabid fanbase on his side. The category also finds Dev Patel nominated for his role in the Oscar-winning flick "Slumdog Millionaire." Then there's Bobb'e J. Thompson for his hysterical turn in "Role Models," Taylor Lautner in "Twilight" and Ben Barnes in "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian."

Patel might have starred in one of the biggest films of the past awards season, but it's going to be hard for him to beat out Pattinson. The same goes for Barnes, who is pretty dreamy himself but hasn't amassed Pattinson's faithful following. And Thompson is adorable and funny, but he is the clear underdog in this match.

But enough about those other guys: Pattinson has female fans who are most likely voting over and over again as you're reading this for their beloved RPattz. Playing brooding vampire Edward Cullen hasn't been so bad for Pattinson. If he doesn't win, it might be the show's biggest upset, but there's always the possibility that Team Jacob will mobilize to get the award for the other "Twilight" heartthrob, Taylor Lautner.

Pattinson once told us that if he hadn't become an actor, he had another very interesting career path in mind. "I always wanted to be a rapper when I was younger," he revealed. "That's always what I wanted to be before I started acting. ... I didn't have the right physicality about it. I'm not very threatening."

Robert Pattinson: Acceptance non-kiss was Kristen's idea

MTV Shows

June 01, 2009, (Sawf News) - The idea to put viewers on the edge by going through the motions of reenacting the Twilight kiss that earned them the Best Kiss Golden Popcorn came from Kristen Stewart, says co-star Robert Pattinson.

"[The acceptance] was Kristen's idea. My ideas were so terrible they were rejected," he tells Entertainment Tonight of their non-kiss. "So I'm happy she helped me two minutes before it happened."
"That was my big idea. I'm not going to kiss you!" Kristen endorses.

As Pattinson and Stewart walked on to the stage to receive their award, they first exchanged hugs and greetings with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, who announced them as winners. Next, Pattinson got rid of gum as he readied to be kissed. The two co-stars faced each other and braced for the kiss. Stewart then edged closer as Pattinson closed his dreamy eyes…

With their lips inches apart, Stewart turned to the microphone and said to the audience, “Thank you so much!”

'New Moon' trailer highlight of MTV Movie Awards for 'Twilight' fans

"Twilight" stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner presented the trailer below for the much-anticipated "Twilight" sequel "New Moon" at last night's MTV Movie Awards. And judging by the reaction, this second installment in the series of films based on the Stephenie Meyer bestsellers will be another smash hit.

"Twilight" won five MTV Movie Awards (that's probably a new record, but I haven't officially checked the numbers): best film, best female performance (Kristen Stewart), best male breakthrough (Robert Pattinson), best kiss (Stewart and Pattinson) and best fight (Pattinson and Cam Gigandet). Lautner also contended in the breakthrough race against Pattinson. And the song "Decode" by Paramore was bested by "The Climb," written and sung by Miley Cyrus in "Hannah Montana: The Movie."


"Twilight" grossed $351 million worldwide with $149 million more in domestic DVD sales alone. This first film of the franchise is contending at the upcoming Saturn Awards as well. It competes for best fantasy film against "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Hancock," "The Spiderwick Chronicles" and "Wanted."

"New Moon" is scheduled for release on Nov. 20, just one day shy of a year since "Twilight" launched Pattinson and Stewart into the stratopshere. The sequel continues the star-crossed love story of vampire Edward (Pattinson) and the mortal Bella (Stewart). Edward is forced to abandon Bella to save her from his family. And sheepish Jacob (Lautner) transforms from her best friend to a hunky hero in wolf's clothing.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart Tease Audience After Winning Best Kiss

 

If Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart didn't win the 2009 MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss, the universe might have ripped in half. Of all the categories in which "Twilight" was nominated this year, the one that brought vampire Edward Cullen and his high school love Bella Swan into a lip-locking embrace seemed like a surefire win.

And that's exactly what happened at the Gibson Amphitheatre on Sunday night. Beating out competitors like the lovebirds from "Slumdog Millionaire" and "High School Musical 3," Pattinson and Stewart garnered the Golden Popcorn statue and took the stage together.

Pattinson leaned into the mic and announced that he had to take the gum out of his mouth. OME — were these two about to re-enact their big screen kiss for the MTV viewers? It wouldn't have been the first time. In 2007, Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen made out passionately onstage. Could it be happening again?
Pattinson and Stewart stared at each other, steeling themselves for a kiss. He moved in, she moved in. They closed their eyes. They touched noses. And then ... Stewart turned to the mic and declared, "Thank you so much!"

OK, so give the "Twilight" duo credit for being pretty darn good actors. Disappointing? Sure. Funny? You bet. At least they won a richly deserved honor. And we'll all have a chance to see Edward and Bella suck face a lot more this fall, when the second film in Stephenie Meyer's vampire franchise, "New Moon," hit theaters.

'Twilight' director: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were good in bed

For "Twilight" couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, it all started in bed.

Are they an item or not?

The latest issue of Life & Style magazine sure makes it seem like "Twilight" co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are sharing a thing off screen as well. They're on the cover under a headline that says: "It's On!"

The mag reports that the two took whatever it is they're doing to the next level when Stewart bonded with Pattinson's parents during his birthday party last week in Vancouver, British Columbia, where "New Moon" is shooting.

Apparently there was some serious parental bonding going on over kobe beef meatballs.
“Kristen and Rob have amazing chemistry,” their co-star Elizabeth Reaser told Life & Style. “They’re great together.”

"Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke seconded that observation, telling the mag just how she came to choose the two for the roles of on-screen lovers.
And get this. It involved a bed.

“To decide who was going to be Edward, I had chemistry reads over at my house on my bed,” Hardwicke tells Life & Style, “and when it was Rob and Kristen together, you could just tell … this is it.”
Hardwicke says "it’s intense when you do such an intense project. Robert and Kristen are interested in each other, like a fascination.”

The magazine, which claims to have seen the latest version of the "New Moon" script, also spills the beans on plot secrets from the set.
Stewart was seen hopping on the back of a gang member's motorcycle in one scene where she goes to a movie theater with Jessica (Anna Kendrick). Her stunts have apparently become even more daring to make Edward appear.

A new action-packed scene has been added that has Laurent going down swinging. "The novel talks about my character getting chased and destroyed by werewolves,” says Edi Gathegi, who plays Laurent.
And apparently, after not saying “I love you” in "Twilight", Edward has a different bargaining chip up his sleeve in "New Moon."

Maybe it involves meatballs.

Robert Pattinson is the antagonist of New Moon?

 

California - So days ago when New Moon prod team finally revealed the poster of the upcoming sequel of Stephenie Meyer's phenomenal vampire book turned into a worldwide hit flick. Three characters graced the poster, and it turns out (like the story from the book), "New Moon" will highlight the love story of the karate boy turned werewolf Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart.

Sorry for those Robert Pattinson fans (that includes me, darn), Rob Pattinson is somewhat the "semi-antagonist" of New Moon. By interpreting the poster enhanced by photoshop, Taylor Lautner's character Jacob is trying to protect Bella from the bloodsucker 108 year old pale hottie vampire named Edward Cullen played by Pattinson.

I remember director Chris Weitz revelation that a lot of CGI Robert Pattinson will be seen, for those New Moon fans not familiar with CGI -- it's a computer generated or enhanced effect thing. Meaning, Robert Pattinson's participation in New Moon was kinda limited. With the antagonist thing, I'm not still sure if the prod team sticked to the exact same story of Meyer's book, or they changed the whole thing to please the fans of Robert Pattinson.

Die hard Edward Cullen fans, do you agree? xD

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart re-unite under Italian sun

VANCOUVER - Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are re-united under the Italian sun, far from the soggy streets of Vancouver, usual home of the Twilight sequel New Moon.
The duo, who play vampire Edward Cullen and his amore, Bella Swan, in the cinematic version of Stephenie Meyer's romantic series, have been accustomed to dodging paparazzi in Canada's West Coast, and frequenting trendy downtown haunts like the Glowbal grill.

But now they will have to put up with the more aggressive shutterbugs in the country that gave the world the term paparazzi, thanks to the news photographer featured in Italian director Federico Fellini's masterpiece, La dolce vita.

Pattinson is having a great spring, having made the scene at the Cannes Film Festival in the south of France before flying to Italy to really make the scene - or scenes - in New Moon.
So it's work that summoned Stewart to team up again with the world's favourite vampire. With her came fellow actress Ashley Greene, but left behind in North America was Taylor Lautner. Apparently the Italian shoots didn't require unrequited werewolves, so Lautner zoomed south to Los Angeles instead.

'New Moon' trailer: A 14-second tease with a one-second kiss

Because we can't possibly wait until Sunday night to see the trailer for The Twilight Saga: New Moon premiere on the MTV Movie Awards, Entertainment Tonight has scored itself a 14-second tease (which I am ashamed to admit I found out about through a Ryan Seacrest Tweet). Check it out below. I'm not sure what there is to say other than that Kristen Stewart does some nice eyebrow acting and, of course, that Bella's birthday present is worth $20,000.

Twilight wars: The fan divide over Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner

THERE'S no doubt that the Twilight book and film franchise has generated a massive following, particularly for Robert Pattinson who plays vampire heart-throb Edward Cullen.

But he's not the only male cast member to be getting attention. An increasing number of fans are focusing on Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black in Twilight and its upcoming sequel New Moon.
Various images online, including this fan creation from Grodansnagel on DeviantArt, are proving popular with his admirers.

There have been some dubious and unsubstantiated tabloid reports of tension and jealousy between Pattinson and Lautner on the New Moon set - some even suggesting the actors were involved in physical fights because Taylor has a larger role and more scenes with Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella Swan (even though this follows the story in the original novel).

But while that rivalry between the actors is almost certainly nonsense, there is definitely a rivalry between the fans.

Online, there's a clear divide between Team Edward and Team Jacob - and those are the terms actually used by either side. But who is your favourite and why? Can Lautner Love ever be a rival to Pattinson Power!?

It's clear that passions run high; for instance there is one Facebook page claiming Lautner is better than Pattinson because his teeth, tan, muscles and body hygiene are far superior!

Lautner is only 17 and was named one of People Magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People of 2009. His character Jacob Black is a member of the Quileute (a real-world native American tribe living in Washington state) and one of an ancient line of werewolves, who are enemies of the vampires. He stars along several other actors who are also werewolves, as revealed earlier in this official photograph.

In the first book, Jacob plays a key part in Bella Swan discovering Edward is a vampire. In New Moon, Edward leaves - Bella and Jacob then develop a growing friendship that takes various twists and turns and tests her loyalties.

Jacob is a larger, older character in New Moon, so there were reports of recasting the role because Lautner lacked the physicality.

One Tree Hill actor Michael Copon had said on his Facebook page that he had been chosen to replace Lautner but that proved to be a premature announcement. In January it was confirmed that Lautner would continue in the role and he went on an intense work-out regime - putting on about 30 pounds - to meet the physical requirements.

Meanwhile, a new hunk is set to enter the equation when the third novel, Eclipse, is made into a movie.
Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg is keen for Channing Tatum to play vampire Riley in the Eclipse film.
At this rate, the Twilight hunkometer will reach boiling point and fan interest will be a hotbed of hysteria. Will we then see a Team Tatum emerge in the Twilight community?

Kristen Stewart Gets Closer to Robert Pattinson's Parents

Things are getting more serious between Kristen Stewart and her "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson. Elizabeth Reaser, who stars as Esme Cullen on the vampire drama movie, claims the 19-year-old beauty has tried to develop a good relationship with Pattinson's parents, Richard and Clare Pattinson, during the star's 23th birthday party on May 13. Additionally, Reaser admits that the twosome has very close relationship. "Kristen and Rob have amazing chemistry," she told Life and Style at "The Bash" charity event in Los Angeles on Sunday, May 17. "They're great together."

Most recently, Kristen Stewart was seen having dinner with Robert Pattinson at Glowbal Grill and Satay Bar in Vancouver, Canada to celebrate his 23rd birthday. The British actor's parents also joined them going to the restaurant. "Robert's parents were all smiles," a source previously said. "They were kind of quiet but very gracious and polite. You could easily see where Robert got his reserved demeanor from."

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson: On-Set Smooch!

Sure to make all of the “Twilight” fans’ day a little brighter, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson shared a passionate kiss while filming a scene for “New Moon” in Montepulciano, Italy on Wednesday (May 27).

The co-star pals got hot and heavy, with Robert walking out shirtless before planting a big kiss on Miss Stewart.

The smooch scene comes as Mr Pattinson’s recent hookup in Cannes, Erika Dutra, has been chatting with the tabloids about the pair’s rendezvous.

“We had a great time together! Rob’s very sweet,” Erika told Star magazine. “He’s even better-looking in person than he is in photographs.”

Meanwhile, Erika’s friend, Amika Akaya, tells that she’s not surprised that Pattinson was drawn to Dutra, telling, “Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also a really great person — fun, outgoing and super-sweet.”

Robert Pattinson committed to 'Breaking Dawn'

Robert Pattinson has confirmed that he'll star in Breaking Dawn, the fourth movie in the Twilight franchise -- he just doesn't know when. In Cannes, before heading to Italy to shoot the final four days on New Moon, the actor told The Hollywood Reporter that Summit Entertainment hasn't been able to set a start date for the final film because of his busy schedule. His plate includes shooting a romantic drama for the studio, Remember Me (formerly known as Memoirs); then wrapping the third Twilight film, Eclipse, this fall; and then joining Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz on the set of Madeleine Stowe's directorial debut, Unbound Captives, perhaps as early as year's end.

Ahooooo!

Poll Winner: Team Edward!

Team Edward is really more dominant that Team Jacob. :)

Rob Pattinson Red Carpet Interview

Embarrassed vampire Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson. He said: "The Edward in the book is like an enigma of everything that's perfect about a man. It's like, 'He walked into a room and it hurts to see how beautiful he is.' It's just kind of embarrassing. I just couldn't figure out a way to act perfect. I felt like an idiot going into the audition - even having the gall to go in means you're a bit of an arrogant

The actor - who plays handsome vampire Edward Cullen in the hit movie and its upcoming sequel - felt like an "arrogant k" auditioning for the film because he is not flawless like '17 Again' hunk Zac Efron.

He said: "The Edward in the book is like an enigma of everything that's perfect about a man. It's like, 'He walked into a room and it hurts to see how beautiful he is.' It's just kind of embarrassing. I just couldn't figure out a way to act perfect. I felt like an idiot going into the audition - even having the gall to go in means you're a bit of an arrogant k. Who could possibly play it apart from Zac Efron?"

Despite his current pin-up status, the 22-year-old British actor says his casting was initially rejected by fans if the book series.

He explained to Look magazine: "'Twilight' fans are very loyal to the book and to the author Stephanie Meyer. And I got a 100 per cent negative reception when I got cast. I kind of expected it, though."

Robert - who also played Cedric in the wizard film franchise 'Harry Potter' - still struggles to cope with these newfound levels of fame.

He said: "I mean, in 'Harry Potter' people likes the characters, but they don't want to sleep with them. And I guess it kind of adds a different intensity to it, which I still haven't got my head around."

Robert must really be embarrassed! The role of Edward is really for me. Muwahahah! :P
