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.

Robert Pattinson and the Cast of Twilight Didn't Play in Italy

While filming New Moon in Italy, the Twilight stars didn't get to explore and play in the beautiful country. Was it Robert Pattinson's fault?

There's a lot to see in Italy, but Robert Pattinson, Ashley Greene, Kristen Stewart, and the rest of the Twlight cast didn't really get to enjoy it while filming New Moon. According to Ashley Greene, "We literally all had two bodyguards and drivers, and we couldn't walk and had to be driven around the set. It was because there were thousands of girls that came in from everywhere in the world to see (Robert Pattinson)."

So it's Robert Pattinson's fault for being so good looking, girls were coming from everywhere to see him. The fans would even sleep outside the gates just waiting for a glimpse of Robert and the cast. While the cast was filming the first Twilight movie, they were able to do as they pleased in Vancouver because the world wasn't yet obsessed with them.

Kellan Lutz confirms this and says, "Every second of Rob's life is watched now," while Cam Gigandet says, "(His fame) is always growing, but Rob is still Rob - which is a good thing."

We can't imagine being in Italy and not even getting to see the sites, but it sounds like Robert Pattinson was a tourist attraction himself!

‘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.

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.

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.

Better New Moon Trailer?

Guys you should check this out! An edited official New Moon trailer made by a Twilight fan Tifanyd666.




For those who have read the book, You can say that this trailer is more specific and shows more of what the movie should look like! This is way better than the original trailer. Uh, that's just my opinion. :P

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.

Get the Paramore screen saver here.

Twilight sequel: New Moon could be the first bloodless vampire movie

The first Twilight film wasn't exactly a hit with the critics – Peter Bradshaw and Xan Brooks's trend-bucking notwithstanding – but the teen vampire romance based on the popular novel by Stephenie Meyers did incredibly well at the box office, racking up $382m (£233m) worldwide. Shortly afterwards, producers Summit Entertainment parted company with director Catherine Hardwicke after she said she could not turn around the sequel, New Moon, in the short time that was being demanded.

Hardwicke, who also directed teen drama Thirteen and skating documentary Lords of Dogtown, reportedly cited the difficulty of producing convincing CGI in haste for certain sequences in the followup, which focuses on a rival clan of werewolves. Instead, Summit, fearing fans of the first film would lose interest in the interim, charged Chris Weitz (who made the 2007 adaptation of Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass) with bringing the second film to the screen within a year of Twilight's release.

Weitz, if the first trailer for New Moon is indicative, has found a novel way to bypass those complicated, CGI-heavy lycanthrope transformation scenes: instead of showing a man changing slowly into a wolf, he shows a man leaping into the air and landing as a wolf, omitting the actual transformation bit completely. Clever, huh?

This isn't the only reason why New Moon, out on 20 November in the US and a week later here, might be the single most missable movie of 2009. The lingering glances and brooding stares which constituted the performances of Bella Swann (Kristen Stewart) and vampire lover Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) in the first movie are back, as are the Gap model bloodsuckers. And the wolf, once it does land, looks slightly less terrifying than an angry chihuahua.

Of course, New Moon only has to appeal to fans of Meyers's novels and the first movie, as well as teenage girls who presumably like to imagine Pattinson ravaging their own tender necks. But it would be nice if the whole project wasn't so, well, bloodless. What do you make of this one?

Lautner: New Moon a heartbreaker

Twilight sequel New Moon will be a heartbreaking film, says Taylor Lautner

Twilight sequel New Moon is set to be a heartbreaking film, according to star Taylor Lautner.

"There is heart break and, oh it's horrible," the actor, who plays werewolf Jacob Black in the franchise, told Access Hollywood.

"New Moon will rip your heart to shreds. So get ready!"

Taylor and co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart introduced the trailer for the second hotly anticipated movie at the MTV awards on Sunday.

The film sees Jacob transform into a werewolf, which turned out to be a bit of an ordeal, according to the actor.

"I was shirtless, all I was wearing was shorts. We were in 35-degree weather," he said.

"They poured rain on us, which is like iced cold. 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. I'm just standing there like basically naked with everybody like bundled up in this ice cold weather."

Fresh from her “New Moon” shoot in Italy, Miss Stewart was more than happy to strike a few poses for the paparazzi outside the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.

And the “Twilight” cutie definitely displayed her own flavor of fashion in a funky black and red dress teamed with a pair of black Converse All-Stars.

Twilight Weekly Wrap: New Moon Trailer Hype

Amid all of the online Twilight hype surrounding the release of the official New Moon trailer at the MTV Movie Awards and on MySpace, how many websites do you think will be writing reviews of the New Moon trailer come Sunday night? It doesn't really matter. Obviously there will be thousands upon thousands, and thousands more after that. In fact, trailer reviews for New Moon have already hit the Internet, even reviews of exclusive 15-second footage. It's amazing. There was a time not too long ago when most top tier entertainment editors and webmasters scoffed at trailer reviews. The general consensus among many credible publishers was that reviewing a movie trailer was pointless since there's no way you can gauge the final product by analyzing a calculated promotional spot selling tool. Although it may not look like it at first glance, it's still that way today. But what type of impact will the New Moon trailer have on fans in the midst of growing mountains of press coverage?

Will the official New Moon trailer be an accurate barometer of how good New Moon will be in the end and how Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner have grown? For some Twilighters, sure, any footage is good footage. From our perspective, the New Moon trailer will serve a dual purpose: 1. It will satisfy the near fever pitch Twilight anticipation. 2. Build fresh New Moon momentum from a brand new starting point. Hey, we're just as excited to see the New Moon trailer as you are, but it's been awkwardly entertaining to see so much hype around ... well ... a trailer. Not that we haven't seen massive trailer hype in the past with other films, but this time the online bandwagon is a lot bigger and it's going to be littered with thousands of reviews of the New Moon trailer between Sunday night and Monday morning. The trailer hype is all a bit too Pavlovian at this point, but coverage of The Twilight Saga and New Moon is quickly becoming just as entertaining as the novels and movies. It really is an interesting and revealing study in human behavior.

[Twilght New Moon Trailer] New Moon has already received a gargantuan amount of minute-by-minute press without the official trailer in the picture. We all know the New Moon trailer was coming down the Twilight pike at some point, but are some Twilight fans already suffering from New Moon overexposure? When the trailer debuts and a new onslaught of New Moon coverage hits the net, will the hype eventually begin to have the opposite effect? Recently one of our readers shared her thoughts on the amount of media coverage New Moon is receiving and the impact it's having on her as a fan of The Twilight Saga. From our Talkback, Lizzy writes, "The more I see photos of the set and crew plastered all over the Internet the less I want to see it. It's meant to be a cinematic experience, and where's the experience when it's been followed every step of the way? It leaves no surprises." Can too much of a good Twilight thing be harmful in the long run? Will the official trailer do the trick in maintaining the essence of that very experience? We'll have to wait and see.

[Twilght New Moon Trailer] Interestingly, another one of our Twilight readers shared the same sentiment, but is looking for the New Moon trailer to offset the ongoing tidal waves of New Moon press. In the same thread, Megan from Boston writes, "I love the novels. I've read each of them twice already and can't wait to see the trailer, but I'm getting exhausted by all of the ridiculous headlines I see around the web. After enduring all of the craziness, I'm really hoping the trailer blows me away. I don't want to get to a point where I'm like, I just don't care anymore." Obviously some Twilighters are already feeling the New Moon crunch with six months still on the Twilight calendar before the sequel hits theaters. Given all of the online press hype, however, it's going to be fascinating to see how the New Moon trailer fits into the ever-expanding coverage. Duck and cover, another Twilight tidal wave is coming.

Are we excited to see how the past few weeks of the production in Vancouver have paid off in terms of New Moon footage? You bet. Will the newly released New Moon trailer be an accurate barometer of how good New Moon will be in the end and how Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner have grown? From the film standpoint only, no, of course not. Like I mentioned, it doesn't matter. For our reader Megan's sake, and Twilight fans at large, we hope it blows everyone away.

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.

'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.
