Werewolves vs Vampires:Which side are you?

The Twilight New Moon promotional tour is in full swing with stars Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, and Kristen Stewart circling the globe and doing interviews. Fans are coming out in droves to catch a glimpse of these immensely popular actors. New Moon fever is everywhere. This brings into question who the favorite characters of Twilight New Moon will be. Vampires or Werewolves?

The story in New Moon progresses as Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson, and Bella, played by Kristen Stewart, are less of an item in the New Moon film. Robert Pattinson, who was the main character in the first “Twilight” has more of a supporting role in this film. The leading character is the newly buff and hunky Taylor Lautner, who is a werewolf. The Wolfpack clips that have been released are quickly gaining on the Vampires in terms of popularity.
Fans all over the world are taking sides on which one is their favorite. Either way, it can only spell success for this highly anticipated and marketed film. The November 20th release of Twilight New Moon is sure to be a huge event for Summit Entertainment along with Vampire and Werewolf lovers all everywhere.

Newmoonmovie.org posted a couple of new “Twilight Saga : New Moon” photos from the “New Moon” Illustrated Companion. This one (above) features Twilight,New Moon,and Eclipse movie stars, Ashley Greene,Kristen Stewart,and Robert Pattinson.

This picture is a still from the scene where Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has rushed back to Italy with Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene) to stop Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) from killing himself because he thinks Bella is dead. She’s seen walking with him,here,shortly after she stopped him.

“New Moon” has a lot of excitement and drama which includes : great fight scenes with the Volturi clan,the introduction of Dakota Fanning as vampire Jane,Bella Swan being rescued by Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner),and the introduction of the wolf pack. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing it.

The cast are currently in Vancouver,Canada at the moment,filming “Twilight Saga : Eclipse,” which is the third installment of the “Twilight Saga” movie series.

Robert Pattinson thinks Twilight fans are hot

 

And here’s something flattering for all Twilight Saga fans out there, something to keep the fire burning, you know.

While accepting his Choice Male Hottie award at 2009 Teen Choice Awards on Sunday Robert Pattinson had a pretty laconic speech to thank everyone for the award.

However he used his chance to express his gratitude to all the Twilight Saga fans for their love and support saying that to him Twilight fans “are the hottest hotties and the hottest teens.”

Now, are you a hot Twilight fan? :)

Is Twilight author Stephanie Meyer a plagiarist?

 

Plagiarism is serious business. It's pretty odd when creative writers sink to that level, but from my own experience as an under and post grad writing student, you'd be shocked how many people, devoid of ideas, sink to that level.
So did Stephanie Meyer plagiarize passages from Breaking Dawn? Author Jordan Scott certainly thinks so, issuing a cease-and-desist letter after he noticed that her books share more than a passing resemblance to his novel, The Nocturne.
Sure, it's easy to accuse Scott of trying to jump all over Meyer long after she's become successful, for financial gain or to bump his own book sales. But this should certainly be looked into. After all, consider the case of Kaavya Viswanathan, the Harvard sophomore whose young adult novel, How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild and Got A Life, triggered alarms for several of her fellow students, who were, well, shocked that someone they deemed mediocre so easily got a multi-book deal. A bit of research uncovered that she'd stolen entire passages and the plot points from a relatively unknown writer,  Megan McCafferty. Viswanathan insisted she's merely 'absorbed' the author's style and writing. Verdict: stolen.
Being unfamiliar with both The Nocturne and Breaking Dawn, I'll have to wait and see what the evidence is against Meyer. Several people unsuccessfully sued J.K Rowlings following the epic success of the Harry Potter series for similar reasons. As many articles point out, the wording in vampire novels tends to be, well, cliche, so sometimes things sound the same, But how much is too much?

Robert Pattinson's favorite scene from the Twilight Saga: New Moon

Robert Pattinson loved having the chance to break Bella Swan's heart.
During a discussion panel at Comic Con, Pattinson talked about his favorite scene from his upcoming film, the Twilight Saga: New Moon:
"I think my breakup scene was my favorite scene," Pattinson explains. "I mean, hopefully it'll come off as having quite a few more levels than the relationship in 'Twilight.' It was interesting. It was like a five page long dialogue sequence. That didn't happen at all in the first one and it's quite an interesting little moment. It completely bypasses all the supernatural elements of the story, as well, which I found quite interesting."
Rob is known for taking on a wide variety of different roles, especially those of the brooding romantic. The young star played Art, a jaded young man with numerous family problems, in 2008's How to Be. His most recent role in Remember Me as Tyler, a NYC bad boy who falls in love with the elusive Ally, provides another example of the star's ability to play a jaded yet emotionally complex character.

Twilight Cast Confirmed Breaking Dawn!

After Robert Pattinson confirmed he was signed on for the fourth Twilight installment, Breaking Dawn, back in Cannes, we've all been dying for more juicy deets on the hypersexualized film. (More on exactly how much naughtier the flick will be, next week.)

Yes, we know we're getting overeager since the script for the third flick, Eclipse, which starts shooting Aug. 17, hasn't even been finished yet.

"I haven't seen a page," exclaimed Ashley Greene, who's heading back up to Vancouver to shoot the third Twi flick this summer.

Even though we're getting a tad ahead of ourselves, we tried to pry any dirt out of Ashley and Billy Burke last weekend on what's in store for the final movie.

Read on:

"All I know is that, as of now, I only signed on to do three," B.B. told us. Coyly played Billy. Maybe he's just trying to keep all Twi dirt on the down-low, or it could be that the secondary castmembers haven't started negotiations. Rob and Kristen Stewart are locked in (after so much drama you have no idea—but you're not interested in that, right?), so that's all that matters.

But Breaking Dawn isn't exactly as far away as you all would think.

"We're going to start right after Eclipse," says Ash.

That doesn't come as surprise to us, as we exclusively told you how Summit would be pumping out this franchise as fast as possible to avoid any "bumps" in the road.

So will we see any repeat directors for the fourth film?

"I don't think so," says Ms. Greene. "[Eclipse director] David [Slade] and [New Moon director] Chris [Weitz] will both be busy in postproduction, and Catherine [Hardwicke] will be doing Hamlet."

Well, like we said in last week's Truth, Lies, & Ted, there's no friggin' way Catherine would be back even if it was possible! Despite all the success and money C.H. brought Summit, insiders insist she's so crazy she wouldn't get the gig if Robsten themselves demanded it.

And as much as everyone adored Chris, that's not going to happen because of "scheduling conflicts," we're told.

So there ya have it. Who do you all think should do the fourth one?

So mark those calendars if you haven’t already, and prepare for an increasing onslaught of “Eclipse” news as the wheels spin faster and faster.

Director Chris Weitz talks TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON

Stepping into some pretty big shoes after Director Catherine Hardwicke's massive success with the first TWILIGHT, Chris Weitz takes the reigns for the second installment with THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON.

In a follow-up to their interview with actor Taylor Lautner (details here), Edmonton's Metro News had a chat with the director about what it's like to take on such a large beast.

Q. “Twilight”, the first installment of the series, received some criticism for not being 100 per cent true to the book. Are you addressing some of these issues?

A. It’s impossible to be completely faithful to every single page of a book because movies don’t have enough time. So you end up cutting things and combining things. But I would say that we’re definitely using the book as our bible. My take on this film is the film is the book and Stephanie Mayer is my main resource for everything in this. I’m constantly checking with her to see if it’s something a character would do or a detail is right. You can never absolutely please everybody but my main intention is to satisfy the fans of the book.

Q. You’re a very visual director. What’s your vision for New Moon?

A. We’ve got an amazing visual effects team. The whole idea is to use the full palette of colors, to have our shadows be very dark and to have our colours be very rich so that we can experience the full range of emotional texture. The idea is that this will look like a Victorian narrative painting in a way, with those medieval jewel-like colours as well as very glossy deep blacks, and for the composition of the frames to be classical. In some ways, this is going to be a rather old-fashioned film. There are elements that incorporate the latest technology and there are things that are very dynamic in the action scenes. But it’s more Dr. Zhivago than Iron Man.

Q. Dr. Zhivago was a romance, much like Twilight…

A. Well, these books are wonderful romances and appeal to people’s sense of their lives and loves. At the same time, they’re also very grand in scope.

Twilight Volturi Michael Sheen Enjoys Non-Lead Aro in New Moon

In these current Twilight times, one of the best roles an actor can land is a character in one of the Stephenie Meyer based Twilight Saga films. Recently cast Twilight actor, Michael Sheen, who’s no stranger to the world of vampires and werewolves, snagged one of the biggest New Moon vampire roles in the Twilight series, Aro, the Volturi covenant leader.

After starring in all three Underworld movies as the werewolf leader, Lucian, Michael Sheen brings his acting game to the New Moon worlds of both vampire and lycan. In transition from the legacy of hairy, four-legged shape-shifter to the manicured New Moon vampire leader, Aro, Sheen recently sat down with Empire magazine to talk about The Twilight Saga and his part in New Moon.

As Sheen revealed in the Twilight interview, Michael isn’t stealing any limelight away from the three main characters, Edward, Bella, and Jacob, played by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner respectively, and the former Frost/Nixon actor enjoyed playing a non-lead role with Aro. As Michael Sheen told Empire, "It was nice to go in and not be playing the main part, just go in for a few days and play this really really extraordinary character. I remember I was thinking, 'Oh, there's a bit of a Child Catcher here [from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang]; bit of the Blue Meanie from The Yellow Submarine; bit of Olivier from Richard III. There was a bit of all kinds of stuff.'"

Since Michael Sheen isn’t the only new addition to the Twilight - New Moon set, the man Twilight fans will see as Aro also gave his thoughts on New Moon director, Chris Weitz. "It was great to work with Chris Weitz; it was a really funny set, really relaxed. We had a lot of things in common, and hopefully we're going to work together again soon doing something. That might be the thing that I direct, I don’t know yet, you never know.'"

Now that Sheen’s time on the New Moon set is over, we’ll have to wait and see what Sheen brings to The Twilight Saga. For the full interview with New Moon Volturi, Michael Sheen, head this way to the full Empire interview.

New Moon and Michael Sheen hit theaters on November 20, 2009.

‘Twilight’ Director Talks About Taylor Lautner

“Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke recently gave an interview with MTV reporter Tim Kash . They talked about Taylor Lautner and his extreme work ethic in light of him also being nominated for “Best Male Breakthrough Performance” award alongside Robert Pattinson. She stated that he was only 15 years old when they were shooting the film,and that he would always show up early for work. She said when she auditioned Taylor for the role, she not only auditioned him for “Twilight”,but she also mostly auditioned him for “New Moon” because she needed to see that he could play the more mature “Jacob” that the role would call for.


She went on to state that Taylor had a lot of confidence at the audition from his martial arts background. She said he was a Martial Arts expert and champion for like 5 years which was interesting to learn. Next, she talks about how he worked out really hard to keep the part by bulking up and putting on 20 pounds of muscle. She said that Taylor would always come up to her on the set ,and tell her that he was gonna bulk up,and workout really hard to keep the part. Also that he did,and looks great.

Who Will Join Robert Pattinson in Eclipse?

The Eclipse is coming

You all just saw the trailer for the next installment in the Twilight saga, New Moon. So is it too early to start talking about the third movie, Eclipse? We don't think so. And we want to know who will be joining Robert Pattinson to star in it.

Wait, you mean there are going to be more actors and actresses for us to be crazy obsessed with? One thing that's for sure is that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will remain a member of the Twilight cast. Phew. But there are still a few roles that need to be filled for Eclipse and we can't wait to find out who is chosen!

The three major roles that need to be filled starting with brother and sister werewolves Seth and Leah Clearwater. These characters live in La Push like fellow werewolf Jacob, played by Taylor Lautner. We hear that the production is looking for First Nations actors to fill both roles.

The third role to be filled is Riley, a clean-cut, blonde college boy who falls for Victoria.

Sounds like we are all in for at least another crush. Seth's character in the book is absolutely adorable and we are sure we will love him. As for Riley, we are also sure they will cast someone extra hot. Rumor had is that Channing Tatum was up for the role. Interesting. We'll definitely keep you posted!
Eclipse is set to start filming at the end of the summer so we are hoping to have news on the cast soon!

So, more Twilight hunks to compete with Robert Pattinson. Do you think they could cast someone even hotter than him? Take a look at our favorite Robert P pics and then decide.

Taylor Lautner: ‘Get Ready For New Moon!’

Taylor Lautner has urged fans to “get ready” for Twilight sequel New Moon — because it will “rip your heart to shreds”.


“There is like heart break and, oh it’s…it’s horrible, it just…New Moon will rip your heart to shreds,” the actor told Access Hollywood. “So get ready!”

In the recently released trailer for New Moon, fans got a glimpse of Taylor transforming into a werewolf — which, according to the young star, was no easy task.

“I was shirtless, all I was wearing was shorts. We were in 35-degree weather. [They] poured rain on [us], which is like so iced cold!” he explained. “And the scene was like four minutes long and I’m just sitting there and you can’t look cold.

“I’m the only one [in the buff], I’m just standing there like basically naked with everybody like bundled up in this ice cold weather! And I’m just like too too doo.”

New Moon hits movie theaters later this year.

Paramore say no to The Twilight Saga: New Moon soundtrack

It was pipped for Best Song at the MTV Movie Awards by Hannah Montana: The Movie’s “The Climb”, but “Decode” by Paramore has been blasting from the Boxwish sound system since its release last year. The song from the Tennessee rockers provided the anthem to Twilight and appeared in both full and acoustic versions on the film’s bestselling soundtrack along with another Paramore exclusive, “I Caught Myself” and hits from other top rock bands such as Linkin Park and Stephenie Meyer’s favourite, Muse. But according to the group’s drummer Zac Farro they’re not going to be repeating the trick for The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Speaking to Billboard, the 18-year-old who celebrates his 19th birthday tomorrow, revealed: “It was really fun to be a part of that, and great exposure, but I think Twilight was it for us. We don’t want to seem like we’re trying to get in every single movie they put out.” He adds: “We don’t want to be, like, the vampire house band.”

The last comment echoes that of the movie’s star Robert Pattinson, who after contributing two songs to the Twilight soundtrack, “Never Think” and “Let Me Sign”, is also taking a break for the second instalment. Back in February he told America’s OK! magazine that the decision was because he “really didn’t want it to look like he was trying to cash in.”

This news of Paramore’s absence will surely upset fans that felt the synchronicity between Paramore and the Twilight saga was seamless and might cast doubts over other fan favourites appearing again such as Muse. But it does leave the door open to new artists ready and willing to leave their imprint on the movie. Any suggestions Boxwishers?

Get the Twilight Soundtrack.

'Eclipse' Already Looking For More Vampires and Werewolves

The thing with doing the Twilight fans at such a short time is, you'll never know when exactly they'll stop working on one and start on another.  It's a hell of a lot, come to think of it--Twilight almost swept the MTV Movie Awards last Sunday (which was, let's face it, a given), New Moon just released its first trailer even if shooting is still underway, and Eclipse is already casting.  Yep, Eclipse is already casting.

The third film in the Twilight saga, set to be directed by 30 Days of Night helmer David Slade, has begun looking for at least three characters.  It's up and running, indeed, especially if you consider that they'll begin shooting the film in August.  Here's who they're looking for, and how they describe the characters--well, sure, you know who they are, but it doesn't hurt to know, right?

Casting notice one: Riley, "a handsome, blond, clean-cut college boy who falls victim to Victoria" and "plays an integral role in Victoria's attempt to murder Bella Swan."  They're looking for someone who's in his early to mid-20s.

Casting notice two: Seth Clearwater, "a tall, gangly-limbed boy with a huge, happy grin" who "idolizes Jacob."

Casting notice three: Leah Clearwater, who is "tall and slender with beautiful skin and short cropped black hair," and would've been considered beautiful if not for "the perpetual scowl she carries due to a broken heart and her anger issues."  As with New Moon, they're hoping that Native American actors will fill the last two roles.

So, sure, that means Eclipse is in full swing, but what about Breaking Dawn?  No official word yet, it seems.  "I'm hoping that they make four," Peter Facinelli said during the MTV Movie Awards.  "I mean, if New Moon does well, I think they'll make four."

Ashley Greene's hopes are, well, farther.  "They're just going to have to make a Twilight Five," she quipped.  "I will be forever known as a Twilight girl."
