Rachelle LeFevre spoke to People magazine about how Twilight opened doors for her and said very nice things about Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart. 
“If you can weather the fire and come out on the other side and you’re still recognizable to everybody who knew you before, I think that’s indicative of a larger grace,”
Its a whole 2 months before The Twilight Saga: New Moon opens across USA but ticket sales have been doing very, VERY WELL it seems! The LA Times has this report:
Online ticket sellers MovieTickets and Fandango report that the follow-up to last year’s hit from Summit Entertainment, which sold $191.5 million worth of tickets in the U.S. and Canada, is selling out screenings earlier than any other movie to date.
“New Moon” has sold out 50 showtimes of nearly 22,000 offered on Fandango and 13 showtimes of 2,912 offered on MovieTickets. Most of the sold-out shows are at or around midnight Nov. 20, when the movie debuts.
More news on the New Moon Soundtrack on MTV and how its shaping up. So Death Cab For Cutie, The Used, Bon Iver and Thom Yorke (Radiohead) are in.
“There is a lot of love lost, so the artists that are going to make up the soundtrack reflect that longing — a lot of acoustic instruments, a lot of a cappella singing.”
I’m so glad there is a snap shot of my absolute favorite shot from the entire trailer, the one of Bella’s vision of Edward after her cliff jump. She reaches out to him as he floats in the water next to her, and as she is pulled away from him by Jacob, she touches his face, distorting the image. It is so sad and so beautiful, and shows the leaps and bounds “New Moon” has come from “Twilight.”
Awww… I love this particular scene too! Thank you Chris Weitz!
Two New Moon extras share their experience with MTV.com about filming on set together with Robert & Kristen in Italy.
“One morning we’re sitting by the piazza. We’re having coffee at 6:30 in the morning and the casting director comes over and he says, ‘Hey! Do you guys want to be in the movie?’” recalled Vanessa. “That was it. We went [and] we put our red capes on and we worked until 8pm.”….
“All the action is happening behind us with Edward and Bella running and everybody is supposed to be looking toward the church and we have our hoods and we’re all like this [looks backward] trying to sneak a peek at Edward and look at his abs” she said. “And the Italian director is screaming at us … and he’s screaming ‘Guardare la chiesa!’ — ‘Look at the church! Look at the church!’”…
“They also filmed two scenes with the Porsche: one with the Porsche driving up the street and coming to a screeching halt basically in front of us… and then one of the last scenes we did was with the Porsche… on one of those trucks with the cameras in front of it.”
The ladies were privy to one of the tricks of the trade when they witnessed the compact car on a fast-moving flatbed truck to give the appearance that the Porsche was speeding down the cobble stone street. In actuality, it was the truck, not the car, that was the real safety hazard.
