Eclipse News
First up! Reelz Channel shows of what our Twilight Saga cast has been up to lately.
MTV Movies Blog has Ashley Greene already previewed some ‘Eclipse’ footage!
“Then, the whole fight sequence that I’ve seen really looks amazing,” Greene said of another of her favourite moments in the film, which is expected to bring more action and blood than any of the previous “Twilight” movies. “We worked our tails off for it.”
The suspense is killing us already! How much more sooner can June come!
IESB.net has Ashley Greene Talks Skateland, The Apparition & Compares Twilight Sequel Directors.
Q: For The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, did David Slade give you a syllabus or mission statement, the way that Chris Weitz did for The Twilight Saga: New Moon?
Ashley: No, he definitely didn’t give us that. But, each of the cast did sit down and have hour-long, sit-down conversations with him, probably two or three times, going over the whole script and us highlighting anything that we wanted to talk about. He went about it a different way, but he was also very open about forming some type of collaboration. The directors have their own vision. They don’t want to change our characters, but their vision may be a little different. Obviously, David Slade has a little darker spin on it than Chris Weitz may have had, so we had to find a way to mold them together.
Nikki tells Access Hollywood that she a lot of fun on the set of Eclipse!
New York Post has Jackson Rathbone: I loved brining our Jasper’s dark side in ‘Eclipse’
PW: So is it difficult then to play Jasper over the course of five films?
Jackson: The thing I like about Jasper’s arc is that it’s very developed — you don’t know much about him in the first film. He’s always in pain but don’t know why, until the second film, when you realize that he’s the newest to the family and he’s basically dying of hunger. It’s very difficult to live that vampryic lifestyle. So he’s having trouble adjusting. In the third film, we get to see Jasper’s backstory – see who he used to be and why he’s having such a hard time transitioning.PW: So “Eclipse” will flashback to his time in The Civil War?
Jackson: Yeah. We do a little segue/backstory in “Eclipse”,when he was turned during the Civil War. We get to see his more aggressive tendencies. When you’re first turned into a vampire, that’s when you’re at your most ravenous, most vicious – so you see Jasper go through that. It was a lot of fun to bring out the darker side of Jasper that he’s been holding back.

Larry Carroll from MTV Mivies Blog has an interesting article where he sums up all of Rob’s rumours lately!
Rob’s Nirvana?: The Sun is a British tabloid that seems to specialize in stories about how Megan Fox is going to play Catwoman. Their latest “scoop,” however, was a real doozy — Rob was in regular contact with Courtney Love and had landed the role of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in a biopic. The rumor got a bit of traction, particularly because of RPattz’s well-documented love of music, but ultimately the Sun story was dismissed by Love’s reps, leaving the tabloid to offer all apologies.
Check out the rest of the rumors put to rest: Robert Pattinson’s Kurt Cobain Casting And Other Classic, Untrue RPattz Rumors. Well said, Larry! 
Collider had a video interview with Kristen and Dakota on doing their Runaways movie.
During the interview Stewart and Fanning answered questions I got via Twitter (thanks to everyone who tweeted me questions) and if you watch time index 2:50 or so, you can hear what sounds like the wall falling and see their reactions. It’s actually a very relaxed and fun interview. Check it out after the jump:
JSYK asks Kristen how it wouls be like working alongside her mom for the movie K-11.
“If she called me right now and said, ‘We’re making the movie,’ I would be really excited. I guess my question is, ‘How would it be to work with a parent?’ We’re really close and then, at the same time, we’re creatively very different. But, I think it would be cool if it happens.”
Hollywoodlife! has an EXCLUSIVE! Nikki Reed Backs Out of ‘K-11′ Movie with Kristen Stewart!
This is a shocker to me, really. I was looking forward to seeing Nikki and Kristen being in a prison movie. 
The Hollywood Reporter shows that Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz has booked more movies, ‘Butter’ and ‘Love, Wedding, Marriage’ , repectively. And they’re both comedy films!
“Butter” follows a number of competitive characters in a small Midwestern town as they become entwined in an annual butter-carving contest. Greene will play a rebellious high school teenager named Kaitlen Pickler. (Do I smell a sequel built around anaerobic fermentation?)
‘Love, Wedding, Marriage’ – The story centers on a newlywed marriage counselor (Moore) who is thrown for a loop when she learns that her parents, whose marriage she’s always idealized, are headed for divorce. She sets out on a disastrous path to save their marriage at the expense of her own, manipulating loved ones to achieve her objectives. Lutz will play her husband; Brolin and Seymour will play the parents. – The Hollywood Reporter
Now we’ve got more movies to look forward to from our favourite Cullen siblings!
Check out this clip of Kellan on ‘The Nightmare on Elm Street’!
I’m not a big fan of horror movies, but this is just too exciting!
Cast Related News – The Last Airbender & Dread
Movie Web with an exclusive interview with Jackson on his new film, Dread which has just released in DVD.
You’ve done a few horror films in the past, so what was it like to get a script for a Clive Barkeradaptation? What were your original thoughts on the script when you first read it?
Jackson Rathbone: Well, before I even read it, before I even knew it was a Clive Barker adaptation, I was really excited about it. Then I read it and I was blown away, to be honest. It’s a much more humanized version of that kind of dark world that Clive is famous for creating. Once I read it, I was compelled to do the project, especially since I made a friend of mine read it, and the ending kind of made him a little bit sick, which is awesome, I think.
In the meantime, FearNet also had an interview with Jackson about his other films like ‘Dread’, ‘The Last Airbender and even his guest spot on ‘Criminal Minds’ .
Dread does have its gory moments, but it’s much more a deeply psychological thriller than a straight out blood-fest — and that seems to be what makes it all the more disturbing, doesn’t it?
I definitely agree. You know, it’s hard for me to classify Dread as a horror film; it does have horrific elements, but horror to me has always had more of a fantastical element – movies with monsters, or films like Friday the13th or Halloween. As opposed to this, which I think of more as a psychological thriller; it’s much more about testing the limits of your mind and your psyche, exploring the darker side.
Jackson even compared the difference between ‘Dread’ and ‘Twilight’ on MTV Movies Blog.
Despite the fact that “Twilight” isn’t really a scary movie, Rathbone said there are similarities between “Twilight” and “Dread.” “One of the things I like is when different worlds collide. With the ‘Twilight’ films, you have the horror element of the vampire, but it becomes more of a romantic action film with the vampire falling in love with the girl. With ‘Dread’ it’s kind of the same thing. Clive Barker’s world is usually more of a mythical gothic world, but ‘Dread’ is more of a personalized psychological thriller instead of a horror. It has the horror elements, but it’s much more of a person-to-person drama.”
Here an exclusive clip from the ‘Dread’ DVD with a behind the scene. And it is kinda gross.
Cast Related News – The Runaways
Here’s a video interview of Kristen at her ‘Runaways’ premiere.
Kristen even compares about how much her hair that she chopped off for ‘The Runaways’ has made a difference for her. Kristen Stewart Talks About her ‘Eclipse’ Wig
MTV Movies Blog are wondering if ‘TheRunaways’ director, Floria Sigismondi, would like to try to direct ‘Breaking Dawn’. This would be interesting…
“Well, I’m just actually starting to read it — it’s a little bit darker, so I think it’d be interesting,” she told MTV News. “It’s really interesting, yeah, maybe a little edgier. Like I said, I just started reading, so I don’t know actually where it goes, but it does seem to take on a different imagery and a different level.”
While at the premiere, Kristen gave MTV a heads up that she still hopes to make her mom’s indie movie, ‘K-11′.
Money seems to be the biggest problem right now. Even with Kristen involved — arguably one of the bigger stars out there right now — “K-11″ is just not coming together. It’s admittedly a tough sell. Stewart and Reed may be hot commodities in Hollywood, but with the former playing an autistic male-to-female transsexual and the latter playing a tattoo-covered, meth-addicted transgender, the sexy appeal of ladies in prison is somewhat diminished, to say the least.
Robert Pattinson Wax Figure Revealed at Madame Tussauds!
MTV Hollywood Crush has a couple of pictures of dear old Rob, being made into wax! Robert Pattinson To Be Immortalized In Wax At Madame Tussauds
Madame Tussauds will feature a wax model of the “Twilight” star in both their New York City and London museums for fans to oogle at on either side of the pond. Photos of the mold were released today that show the molding of Robert’s head in progress. The clay head mold represents a crucial step in the up to six month-long figure creation process. According to a press release, a team of studio artists at the museum have been studying hundreds of photos and analyzing hours of video to ensure that they capture R-Pattz’s trademark sultry expression and inimitable style. Is anyone else wondering how they can sign up for that job?
And check out the final reveal of Madame Tussaud’s Robert Pattinson Wax Figure!
MTV Hollywood Crush has Robert Pattinson’s Wax Figure being greeted by screaming fans at Madame Tussauds NYC!
MTV News was on the scene as the historical moment unfolded, and we can report that Robert’srecently-made immortal figure provoked many screams and yells from the hordes of fans waiting outside Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Times Square bright and early (yup, one got there at 4 a.m.!) When given a chance to stand beside fake Rob, they acted exactly as we’d imagine they would next to real Rob — with laughter, kisses, shrieks and hugs. There were also plenty of hands running through his soft hair.
MTV Movies Blog has the news on Robert Pattinson Wax Figure Unveiled At Madame Tussauds where the fans got a chance to pose and take pictures with!
The figure took four months and $220,000 to create and is now displayed alongside Miley Cyrus, John Travolta, the Osbournes and Woody Allen.
The enthusiastic fans who waited in line for the unveiling (some since 4 a.m., and real Rob wasn’t even actually there) were able to run their fingers through the figure’s trademark mane of hair. Danielle Palermo said she didn’t want to mess up wax Rob’s coif. “I felt kind of bad [touching his hair],” she said. “The first time everyone went to touch him, they completely attacked his hair, and I felt really bad. Maybe I’ll just … I won’t exactly run my fingers through it, or you know, shuffle it around like everyone else did.”
CBS News has a video of the first few fans who managed to get to run through their fingers in Wax Rob’s hair~~

Here is Ashley having a Skateland Interview with Director Anthony Burns and her co-star Shiloh Fernandez.
Check out more of Ashley in her new flick, Skateland from MTV Movie Gallery!
Isn’t it ironic that the movie is called ‘Skateland’, but Ashley has not done any skating in the movie at all? Go figure.
Ashley is now filming another horror-genre movie. The Apparition. Guess who her co-stars are….
Ashley Greene Set To Get Spooked Alongside ‘Gossip Girl’ Star Sebastian Stan In ‘The Apparition’
‘Harry Potter’ Star Tom Felton Joins Ashley Greene In ‘The Apparition’
…the man best known for playing Harry Potter’s archnemesis Draco Malfoy will take his first leading role as the main character, Patrick. We’re assuming Ashley Greene is playing his girlfriend, a character named Kelly in this film, while Sebastian is playing postgrad Ben who’s trying to figure out what to do next with his life.
MTV Hollywood Crush has Ashley Greene and ‘Apparition’ Costar, Tom Felton, Compared Notes On Their ‘Crazy’ Movie Franchises
“We did compare the difference between how big ‘Harry Potter’ is in the UK versus how big ‘Twilight’ is in the UK and LA and the difference between those two,” Ashley explained, “because he can actually walk around in LA whereas I can’t, and it’s flipped anywhere in the Europe. I can walk around and nobody cares who I am, but he can’t step out his front door.”
New Moon News
Metro News interviewed young actor, Cameron Bright for his role of Alec in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
“They’re the leaders of the vampire nation, the ones who enforce the laws. And if you’re a leader you have to make difficult decisions, sometimes, and you have to be strong… and feared.”
And fear is what the Volturi trade in. Bright’s Alec is at first glance, an almost cherubic figure, but one who wields the lethal ability to completely shut off his victims’ senses, rendering them virtual vegetables. It’s just another novel re-imagining of an iconic monster — the vampire — that has caused both the Twilight books and the films to be controversial amongst purists.
Daniel Cudmore, who plays Felix, was interviewed by Studio 39 for his role in the Twilight Saga films.
MTV Movies Blog was at one of the New Moon DVD release party where Nikki Reed and director, Chris Weitz has made an appearance.
“I like to go to Wal-Mart to hold press conferences just at odd moments, so this is not my first time,” Weitz joked when he spoke with MTV News at the event. “But usually people don’t show up with cameras. I’m just talking to an imaginary microphone.”
“The first question I always get asked is, ‘Did you feel a lot of pressure coming in doing the second movie of the franchise,’ ” said Weitz. “And I actually didn’t even think about that until people started asking me.”
Weitz has made a point not to claim the series as his own. Even after the popularity of “New Moon,” he repeatedly said he would not return to direct the final film(s),“Breaking Dawn.” Still, he acknowledged his role in making the series reach an even higher level of popularity.
‘New Moon’ Star Nikki Reed On Who Should Direct ‘Breaking Dawn’
“I was trying to ask them earlier today, and they wouldn’t give me anything,” she said. “But all the directors that you mentioned, I mean, that would be fantastic, both [Van Sant and Coppola]. Either one. I mean, we would be honored.”
Our very own, Twilight Guy, Kaleb Nation has also managed to interview Nikki and Chris!
Well done, Kaleb!

Cinematical: Tell us about your character and how you became involved inSkateland.Ashley Greene: I play a character named Michelle Burkham. You start out seeing her as a girl-next-door character, but as you watch the film you learn she has an edge to her. And that’s what I really liked about her; she does have vulnerability and she’s compassionate, but she’s got a sass about her and she’s a very strong character. Those are the qualities that drew me in about her. Throughout the film you see her as the best friend of Ritchie Wheeler, who the story centers on, and she becomes a love interest. She’s the one that’s there pushing him, saying ‘You can be more,’ and making him understand that he needs to believe in himself. And when Skateland closes, everyone’s thrown into turmoil and forced to reevaluate themselves and Texas and their situations, and she’s definitely one of them. She’s one of the go-getters in the film, and I really liked that.
MTV Movies Blog have Kristen and Dakota discussing of ‘The Runaways’ influence at SXSW Festival.
“A lot of girls in my generation don’t realize there was a time when you couldn’t actually do something. And what the Runaways did at the time was actually not OK, not acceptable, not accepted,” Fanning said. “Because I’ve grown up thinking I could do and be whatever I want, and I’ve never thought for a second that I couldn’t because I’m a girl. So to do this movie, and see that it was not accepted at all, was really interesting.”
The Examiner has managed to score an interview with Kristen and Dakota as they act out the rock-star fantasies in ‘The Runaways’.
What did you learn from Cherie Currie and Joan Jett?
Fanning: I think they were really involved in helping as much as we wanted them to help us and to be there. Playing a real person is kind of a daunting task, especially [with] Cherie actually being there and meeting her and talking to her about the experiences, it was more than helpful, I think.
Stewart: They knew things that we would never know that we wouldn’t be able to put in the movie that would be lost that were very important to them. Just details, photos and footage and a book ["Neon Angel"]. It’s not an objective telling of the story; it’s definitely [Cherie Currie’s] side of it. It was nice to hear Joan’s [side of the story], because it was very different. There are a million things that would’ve been different in the movie, and we would’ve been telling story wrong had they [Cherie Currie and Joan Jett] not been there to correct us.
Eclipse News and MORE…
MTV Hollywood Crush had a talk we the costume designer, Tish Monaghan, of ‘Eclipse’ where she reveals more about the ‘Eclipse’ Trailer: Engagement Ring Confirmed and More EXCLUSIVE Costume Details!
IS THAT AN ENGAGEMENT RING?
YES! “This is an engagement ring on Bella’s finger!” Tish confirmed. “This is something that was made for her by the props department.” In other words: she doesn’t have a whole lotta info to share on it. So, until we are able to investigate further, we should point out that the ring (at least what we can see of it from our extreme zoom-in) looks like he could be quite similar to the domed oval one authorized by author Stephenie Meyer after the “Eclipse” book came out, which is for sale by Infinite Jewelry Co. Check out a 2009 article from the Salt Lake Tribune for more information on the story behind that ring.
Entertainment Weekly has an Exclusive: Summit looking at Academy Award-nominated directors for ‘Breaking Dawn’.
Yes, it’s still early days, but Summit is trying to up its pedigree for its big-screen adaptation of the final installment of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. Sources tell EW that the studio has reached out to at least three top-notch directors, including Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation), Gus Van Sant (Milk), and Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) to gauge their interest in what is likely to be two movies. (Van Sant’s reps confirmed that he’s been approached, but Coppola and Condon’s people didn’t return phone calls by press time. Summit declined to comment.)
MTV Movies Blog has recently interviewed Kristen where she revealed about possible directors that would be directing, Breaking Dawn.
Now MTV News has received exclusive confirmation about the development from Kristen Stewart herself. “I’m glad that’s out and about,” she said about the outreach to the directors. “I didn’t know that was something that people knew.”
With all these director-talk, which director do you guys think should have the honor of directing ‘Breaking Dawn’?

MTV has a new interview with Kristen and Dakota whether they would want to live as rock stars rather than a movie star. Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning Leave ‘Runaways’ Rocking On the Screen
As Kristen’s fans are well aware, the girl knows her music. Remember that Minor Threat T-shirt she wore to Comic-Con ’09? Or when she was spotted with the rest of the “Twilight” cast at the Kings of Leon show? Keeping all that in mind, we had to ask the big question: If she could trade places with any rock star for a single day, who would it be?
“Joan!” Stewart shot back, without hesitation. “It depends on what period of life, I suppose. But on Joan and Cherie’s best day? Oh my God, I would definitely go with that!”
MTV has The Runaways: Cherry Bomb Music Video!
IESB.net and HitFix managed to snag interviews from these 2 starlets!
Q: What was it like for you guys to get into playing Joan Jett and Cherie Currie? Kristen, you and Joan seem to have a similar energy, but Dakota, you seem so different from Cherie Currie. How was it to portray these women?
Dakota: I think it’s a huge departure from other roles that I’ve played, and me, in real life. It’s obviously very different from things that I’ve done before, and it will be different for people to see, but I like that. I like surprising people with different things that I can do. That’s what I love to do. And, I hope to do more roles like this, in the future.
Kristen: Me and Joan really do understand each other, and that’s a rare thing. Connection is not something that’s common, or easy to describe. But, I really actually think that we both have a lot of idiosyncracies and ticks that are really different. I don’t have her little things that she does. And, I also think that, especially based on when I did this movie and how much time I had to think about doing the movie before I went to go make it, I’ve done a lot of press within that time and I was sort of wearing her. People projected that onto me, a little bit. I really do feel like it was an easy thing to step into, and it wasn’t a huge departure, but I do feel a little bit like I was just in that head space and projected that a little bit.
Q: Is it wonderful to have two people still alive who you can refer to for your characters or is it easier to play original characters?
Fanning: I think it’s amazing when you have the actual people there. It’s like the ultimate. I think with all characters if they were a real person you could talk to it would be amazing. When you are actually living someone’s life over for them again, it has to be so surreal and you want them to be involved as they want to be and, luckily, they wanted to be involved as we wanted them to be.
Stewart: Yeah, yeah.

Why So Torn Up, Edward?: At one point in the film, Pattinson’s Edward Cullen appears in a ripped T-shirt, but we never learn why. So … what the heck happened?
“What it’s supposed to be is that he’s essentially been wearing the same clothes for several months, and that eventually they’ve just worn out because, as you I’m sure know, his body is like stone. So he must’ve rubbed up against something and it ripped,” Weitz said.
Here’s Rob at the premiere of ‘Remember Me’ being interviewed by Access Hollywood.
If there was anyone would choose whether a girl should date someone like Edward Cullen or Tyler Hawkins, who else to ask other than the man who played both chracters, Rob!

MTV Movies Blog has Kristen Stewart reminiscing about her FIRST ‘Twilight interview.
“That was the first time you asked me about ‘Twilight’!” Kristen smiled when we caught up last week at the “Handkerchief” junket. “I remember the interview! … You were like ‘So, what’s up with this [movie]?’ “Actually, she brought up the film. “The movie is called ‘Twilight,’ ” she said during that January 2008 encounter. “Catherine Hardwicke is directing it in Washington. It’s based on a book that’s pretty popular [among] young adult, high school kids.
Collider has just recently interviewed Kristen Stewart for The Yellow Handkerchief and there are also a couple of audio interviews from the rest of her co-stars.
Q: You made this film before Twilight. Is it hard to think back to that? Would you approach things differently now that you have this international profile?
KS: I guess because I don’t hold the reigns, really I follow, to put it absolutely lamely, my heart, I don’t think I would have made a different – - it would be really a shame if just because I did one movie, and I know it’s four or five or whatever, but it is one story. It’s one project for me. It’s the same character. It’s not like that changes, so if something like that would then affect choices, I don’t have this scheme of how people are going to receive my movies in the order that I do them and why I do scary movies and why I do movies about “disaffected teens,” which I get all the time. They’re just people I really wanted to play. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. I’m just playing parts that speak to me.
There is also a new TV Spot for The Runaways that will be in theaters on March 19! Gossip Cop has the latest details on their premiere dates.

MTV Movies Blog recently reported that Taylor has another movie signed on. Taylor Lautner Snapped Up for ‘Abduction’
Taylor Lautner has been lining up a lot of work lately, landing the lead roles in the big-screen adaptation of the TV show “Max Steel” and the effort to bring the action figure Stretch Armstrong to the big screen. Now he’s ready to go missing. Lionsgate has bought the script for the thriller “Abduction” and cast the “Twilight” star as a young man who sees his baby picture on a missing persons Web site.
MTV has also came up with a list of movies that will be awaiting for Taylor after he is done with his ‘Twilight’ movies. Taylor Lautner’s Post-’Twilight’ Career Is On The Fast Track
That smile! That ever-present tan! Those abs! In just a few short months, Taylor Lautner has gone from the little kid in “Twilight” to the man in “New Moon” to the heartthrob wanted by millions of fans — and all of Hollywood. Now, in the four months since the second “Twilight Saga” film made him a star, the 18-year-old has lined up an equal number of high-profile projects.
But which will stretch his acting talents? Which might make him as popular with boys as he is with girls? And which could launch a signature franchise outside of Stephenie Meyer’s realm? For the answers to those and more questions, let’s take a closer look at the upcoming slate of one of Hollywood’s fastest-rising young stars.

Interview Magazine has recently interviewed with Joan Jett regarding her new biopic film, the Runaways and how satisfied is she with it. There are a couple of photos of the cast of the Runanways as well as the orignial band.
MCDONNELL: How was it working with Kristen Stewart, who plays you in the film? What did you tell her? How did she study you?
JETT: Well, I found Kristen to be through and through totally professional and just great to be around. I found us to be really, scarily similar, just in our physicality, the way we move through space. The first time we met was a little over a year ago, New Year’s Eve. She came to see us do a concert. We hung out for the whole day, and I just dumped on her about everything I could think about The Runaways-I mean, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I told her all that stuff and how much it meant to me. Then she went off to do New Moon, and I didn’t see her again until about two weeks before The Runaways thing started. But she is so authentic. The thing that came through to me was that it was important to her to capture it. She really wanted to nail it. So I gave her all The Runaways music that I could find; I gave her tapes of me talking. . . . When we were together prior to the start of filming, she was staring at me the whole time. And I was fine with it because I knew she was watching my posture, my mannerisms, everything I did, the way I hold my hands, just everything. And she really soaked it in. When we were hanging out together on set, it was like I had a mirror image. Even just sitting around, we’d do the same thing at the same time. It was just great-and it wasn’t creepy. It was wonderfully special.

MTV Movies Blog talks about ‘Eclipse’ and how the third film from The Twilight Saga can appeal to a wider audience…
Make the film more appealing to a non-”Twilight” audience
There are a lot of elements in “Eclipse” that could attract an audience not made up solely of Twilighters. In “New Moon,” there was no effort spent on setting up the story from the previous book or explaining why Bella and Edward are so in love. “Eclipse” was the book that made Stephenie Meyer’s vampire series what it is today, and hopefully “Eclipse” the movie will break the film series out to a larger audience as well.

“I decided, all right, the Wolf Pack stay up all night looking for who’s killing people on the res, so we don’t sleep very much. So I thought it would be a great idea if I stayed up for 10 days straight.” What should have been a simple scene — a confrontation between Bella (Stewart) and the Wolf Pack — became, in Meraz’s mind, his “Brando moment.” Wanting to try something different, the actor played the scene overly aggressive: screaming, grabbing Stewart by the throat, hurtling his line at her.
[Director] Chris Weitz comes off-set like, “Yeah, I like the energy Alex, but just take it down a little, ” Spencer chimed in: “Meanwhile the producers are freaking out back there.”
“Cause nobody touches Kristen Stewart”, joked Meraz.
Lastly, let’s not forget Gil Birmingham as he talks about his responsibility in representing a wheelchair bound person in film. He also mentioned the camaraderie formed between the Wolfpack Read it all at MTV.

‘New Moon’ Director Finds the Cure for Robert Pattinson Withdrawal
It’s from Bella’s point of view … but, for instance, when Alice has a vision of Edward about to commit suicide, we see her vision. To me, that’s fair — because, in the book, Alice conveys that immediately to Bella, and you can see Bella imagining what Alice is saying. At points where a reader of the book might logically imagine a scenario, it was OK for the filmmakers — me — to imagine seeing something that would be outside of Bella’s knowledge at that point. Or something that’s within the scope of her imagination. She fears the worst, really, in terms of Edward.
‘New Moon’ Stars Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner Discuss Killer Breakups
MTV: He is very huggable. Tell us about one scene that you read either in Stephenie Meyer’s book or in Melissa Rosenberg’s screenplay that you were like, “Man, that’s going to be tough to pull off,” and tell us how you were able to figure it out.
Stewart: “New Moon” is riddled with all of that. I think it’s the one book in the series that I was intimidated by – in a good way. That’s the best feeling to start a movie with. But probably, my favourite line in the book is when I have to say to [Jacob], “It’s him; it’s always been him!” Like, I have to say that. Yeah, it killed me, it killed me.
‘New Moon’ Trailer: What’s Missing
Shirtless Taylor Lautner? In-costume Dakota Fanning? Strung-out -looking Robert Pattinson? Check, check, and check. But although the “New Moon” trailer entitled “Meet Jacob Black” gave us plenty of fun things to look at – again, and again, and again – it also continued to omit plenty.

DD: I assume playing Joan Jett is a lot different experience from Twilight?
Kristen Stewart: It’s so much fun. She’s the ultimate badass. She was the first woman to start her own record label. Everybody threw her out after the Runaways and was like, ‘Sorry girl, your shticks over’, she was like ‘No, the message stays the same people still want to hear it.’
Who the fuck did that before her? The music industry is brutal. Once there’s one wave, one explosion of a type of music, everyone jumps on the bandwagon and tries to emulate that, so there’s a bunch of shitty versions of other bands. So there’s like shitty versions of everybody!
SEGN.com has had an interview with Julia Jones, who will be playing Leah Clearwater in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
On reading the books: “I got very obsessive and went through all 4 of them. In the last week and a half, I’ve read the first 3. I just finished Eclipse today. I think the books are incredible. Stephenie Meyer managed to capture a level of humanity, especially with Bella’s character. Her inner thoughts are the similar thoughts you’ve ha d in similar situations but they’re so deep down, ones that you sometimes don’t even admit to yourself.”

Earlier this week, Boo Boo indicated that production company Summit Entertainment had designs on two more sequels following Eclipse, bringing the total of movies in the vampire saga to five.

The Twilight Examiner did an article on Boo Boo Stewart and it includes a video of his photoshoot.
Aside from random roles in a variety of flicks, the fresh-faced teen has a blossoming musical career and has modeled, most recently, for Kohl’s; his multi-faceted background mirrors that of his multi-talented Eclipse cast members.

MTV has a post about how Twilight has made the unknown actors to superstars!
One year ago, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and a handful of other “Twilight” stars arrived at the MTV Movie Awards and walked down the red carpet, with most of the world’s press uninterested in speaking with them. In fact, they had to go back to the beginning of the carpet and start again, just so they could be properly introduced to those who didn’t realize they were movie stars. Luckily, MTV had caught the “Twilight” bug early, eagerly did some exclusive interviews with the actors on the carpet and were proud to use the occasion as their coming-out party.
