Access Hollywood has a new Behind-the-scene of Kristen Stewart doing the cliff diving scene!
Parade.com has Kristen Stewart: ‘I Know What It’s Like to Get Broken Up With’
Her toughest scene.
“It’s when Edward tells Bella it’s all over and they’re never going to see each other again. There’s nothing like it in reality. It’s not even like a normal breakup scene because I know what it’s like to get broken up with. I don’t know what it’s like to get broken up with by a vampire. It’s like suddenly whatever has addicted an addict is taken away from them and they go through total withdrawal. That’s what Bella was going through. To portray that was really intimidating.”
And here’s another behind the scene of Taylor Lautner trying out his dirt bike.
Parade.com has Taylor Lautner: ‘I’m Having the Time of My Life’
The big makeover.
“I had my eyes on the prize. My trainer was like a sculptor. He was going, ‘I want this bicep to peak more.’ He was very detail-oriented. The hardest thing was the diet I was on, while getting in the gym and pumping up was easy. I had to consume at least 3200 calories a day just to maintain my weight. Putting something in your mouth every two hours is difficult. I was going from meeting to meeting, so there was no time for eating. I literally would have to carry a little baggy full of beef patties, raw almonds, and sweet potatoes. I mean, it wasn’t like eating ice cream and cake every two hours.”
Lastly, Mirror.co.uk has a Never-Seen-Before Robert Pattinson scene from The Twilight Saga: New Moon DVD!
Parade.com also has on Robert Pattinson: ‘Love Can Be More Lethal Than a Vampire Bite’
The scene where he almost took it all off.
“I felt pretty goofy stepping out into the sunlight in front of 2,000 people in a town square, ripping my clothes off. I was essentially doing a striptease. But here’s the irony, it was also one of the moments where I’ve really felt closest to people’s emotional attachment to Edward. There were so many extras in that scene who were Twilight fans who had flown in just to be a part of it. It was a moment where I’ve felt the whole weight of anticipation, and I guess responsibility as well, of being Edward, for all the people who were kind of so obsessed with the stories. It was quite uplifting and it was also very nerve-wracking.”

CNN has managed to attain a very interesting interview with director, Chris Weitz. ‘New Moon’ director gets away from frenzy
CNN: In the DVD commentary, you said you let the opening shot of the moon go on and on because you figured there would be 30 seconds of screaming when the titles came up. Was that true?
Weitz: The first time I saw it, there was quite a lot of screaming, just because of the buildup and anticipation were so great. People had been waiting so long to see it that it was good that they had a bit of time to calm down before you first saw Bella.

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.
And CONGRATULATIONS to Taylor for being nominated for BEST PERFORMANCE IN A FEATURE FILM: Leading Young Actor in this year’s 31st Annual Young Artists Awards . Last year, Christian Serratos won. All the best, Taylor!
From InStyle UK, Kellan Lutz is in new Calvin Klein Ad! WOAH~~~~~~
Looks like Twilight-star Kellan Lutz is putting his rock-hard body to good use! The steely heartthrob, armed with a six-pack and matching biceps, stripped down for the Calvin Klein campaign, featuring the brand’s ‘X’ line, which will be hitting stores this month.

Entertainment Weekly and Reuters has reported that Rachelle Lefevre is going to be on a new Medical drama TV Show. Good luck, Rachelle!
Twilight bloodsucker Rachelle Lefevre has joined the cast of CBS’ Untitled Medical Dramafrom producer John Wells, sources confirm to me exclusively.
The project revolves around a team of medical professionals who travel the U.S. helping those in desperate need of assistance.
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.
Taylor turns 18!
Twilight Singapore would like to wish Taylor Lautner a very happy 18th birthday! Wishing Taylor all the best for his future! Do remember to catch Taylor in Valentine’s Day which opens today!
Access Hollywood has even wished and surprised Taylor on his birthday while they at the World Premiere of ‘Valentine’s Day’!

A long post today with updates from the Twilight cast members who are making waves of their own – Anna Kendrick, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.
Anna Kendrick has down a new interview with Reuters.com - talking about what she’s been up to and being Jessica Stanley.
This week, Kendrick, 24, earned a supporting actress Oscar nomination for her work in “Up in the Air,” playing a perky young executive out to teach George Clooney’s character how to fire people in the modern-day world of computer communication.
The Oscar nod — her first — followed her role in November’s box office hit “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” and this week Vanity Fair anointed her one of the fresh faces to watch in its annual Hollywood issue.
But the truth is, Kendrick’s “fresh face” has been racking up accolades on stage and in independent films for years before she hit the mainstream jackpot with the “Twilight” movies and now “Up in the Air.”
Still, this past week’s Oscar nomination and the month of awards shows and critical acclaim that came before it have caught Kendrick in a whirlwind of big-time Hollywood publicity that she still can’t quite grasp.
“There’s always a part of you that’s going to feel like a version of yourself that couldn’t find a job and you wonder what tricks you pulled to get into the party,” Kendrick told Reuters.
While she may not have been in the Oscar “party” before, it’s not the first time, Kendrick has won the hearts and minds of critics and fans. At age 12, she was the third youngest Tony Award nominee for her role in Broadway musical “High Society.”
Five years later, her singing and dancing wowed audiences in the 2003 musical film “Camp.” It was Kendrick’s first-ever movie and resulted in an Independent Spirit Award nomination. A second Indie Spirit nod followed with 2007′s “Rocket Science.”
She still has one more “Twilight” film, “Eclipse,” due in theaters on June 30. In the saga, Kendrick portrays Jessica Stanley, a friend and classmate of lead character Bella Swan. It is a small role, but enough to make her a recognizable face to her fans without overshadowing the rest of her career.
“I’ve been really lucky to not be defined completely by that series,” says Kendrick.
The entire cast originally signed contracts for the first three installments, and Kendrick said she still does not know if her character will be in the fourth film, “Breaking Dawn.”
“I honestly feel like Jessica is one of those characters that if she wasn’t in the movie, nobody would miss her,” she says. “At the same time, I feel a certain affection for the films so if they ask me, I would love to. I don’t have my fingers crossed either way.”

Check out Taylor Lautner in Valentine’s Day:
A great read for K-Stew fans. For Kristen Stewart, this is her dawn by LA Times:
Call it a casting fluke, call it kismet. In both of her movies premiering at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Kristen Stewart portrays a 16-year-old runaway.
For the gritty family drama “Welcome to the Rileys,” the “Twilight Saga” star inhabits a role quite unlike Bella Swan, the long-suffering vampire-lover character that made Stewart an international icon. She plays Mallory, a stripper-hooker with a porn star’s wardrobe and a mascara-tarred visage whose sexual frankness could make a trucker blush.
In the high-octane coming-of-age drama “The Runaways,” meanwhile, Stewart portrays real-life proto-punk Joan Jett, who co-founded the all-girl teenage rock band called — you guessed it — the Runaways at age 16. In the film, Stewart’s character snorts cocaine, makes out with costar Dakota Fanning and drunkenly urinates on an electric guitar.
In this next article from MTV, Kristen compares her role in ‘Welcome to the Rileys’ and ‘Twilight’:
In an earlier interview with MTV News, the actress argued that even though the film presents her in a far different light than the “Twilight” films, fans of the vampire franchise will find much to connect with in “Rileys.”
“Most ‘Twilight’ fans are young girls, and this is a really, really good story for them,” she said. “It just sort of opens your eyes. You just don’t have any options.”
Dakota & Kristen is featured in EW for being the Stars of Sundance. Thank you ___thatshott via lion_lamb.

DAVID SLADE has tweeted more updates about fresh out of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse post production!!
Wooooooooo…. he’s giving me the goosebumps! Excited goosebumps!!!
MTV NEWS has Bryce Dallas, Kristen, Robert & Taylor talking about Eclipse.
“I had already read the books. I had actually seen ‘Twilight’ several times, much to my husband’s chagrin,” Howard told MTV News while promoting her upcoming release, “The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond.” “Whenever Robert Pattinson would come onscreen, I would grab my husband’s hands and start squeezing, and he’d be like, ‘Stop squeezing my hand!’ “
Though Howard felt intimidated joining the tight-knit cast so close to the start of production, one of her biggest challenges may have been maintaining continuity between Lefevre’s Victoria and her portrayal of the revenge-bent bloodsucker. While Howard and Lefevre share similar physical traits, including signature flaming-red tresses, Howard put much care toward embodying the already-established character.
Thanks a heap Bryce!

Rob talks about stealing on the set, crashing the green Porsche while in LA and the character he would love to play in New Moon:
Thank you Cullen News!
Meanwhile Entertainment Weekly sits down with Tish Monaghan – the Costume Designer for The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Eclipse as well. If you’re interested to know more about the fashion behind New Moon, check out the interview:
Why couldn’t he (Edward) remain shirtless for the indoor fight scene? Why put on the robe?
Originally, the guards who grab him were supposed to be coming from the outside — that’s why they give him the robe. But the setting was changed, and they grab him on the inside. So why do they hand him this robe? Because, quite honestly, it looks very cool fighting with this long, flowing garment, and it does hide pads, protect him.Last question: What can you tease about the costumes in Eclipse?
We go back to the 1700s and do a complete Quileute tribe. I had to go to museums and pour over clothing that was dug up from burial sites, and I went into diaries of sailors to read what their first encounters were with the Indians on the Pacific Northwest coast. Then we did vampires from the Civil War era, then we did the 1930s, then we did our contemporary world, then we did fantasy Volturi flying over on a jet to Forks, Washington. Then we did an army of vampire newborns. It’s pretty cool stuff.
Next, how about reading up on this interview from San Francisco Chronicle with Phil Tippet (picture below), the Special Effects Innovator for The Twilight Saga: New Moon:
Q: Which movie had tighter security on the set, “Return of the Jedi” or “New Moon”?
A: For “Return of the Jedi,” I was totally oblivious to all the fandom. I didn’t notice anything, and most of the work was done on pretty secured sets. For “New Moon,” it was unbelievable.
It was like a CIA operation. Some of the locations we would go to, the production would be so concerned about fooling the paparazzi, they would take the arrows pointing to the location and turn them the other way. We were actually getting lost.
Q: Did you do much wolf-related research for the movie?
A: We nailed it down early that these were not going to be traditional beast-y horror movie things. … We watched a lot of documentaries and looked at every single picture book out there on wolves.
My co-supervisor, Matt Jacobs, took a bunch of the art department and animators to a wolf preserve outside of Los Angeles. They got into a pen about the size of this room with about 10 wolves and just spent the afternoon with them.
New Moon News
Rolling Stone Magazine has published their exclusive interview with Taylor Lautner this month.
Don’t you think that when some fans see New Moon, they may be disappointed, because you’re kind of the villain in a way.
I have some pretty passionate team Jacob fans [laughs].Right. But you’re also the obstacle getting in the way of the great romance between Bella and Edward.
I can see where you’re coming from. The thing is, Jacob and Edward are two completely different guys. They are opposites. And it’s just what kind of girl you are. If you like that more mysterious, dangerous type, then that’s one guy. I personally love Jacob and Bella’s relationship, and how they began as friends. They are so much more open, and can tell each other anything. And Bella and Edward’s relationship, it’s always tense. It’s always serious. But Jacob and Bella’s friendship starts growing stronger and stronger and you just wonder if they can go past friends. It looks like that at some points.
And then Bella is always lying to Edward so she can see you. This is supposed to be like true love forever, so why can’t she just be honest?
You know, she’s serious with Edward and then she meets best friend Jacob. She gets confused.But you’re not really her friend. You have an agenda with her, and you’re always making snide comments about Edward.
If I was Jacob, and I feel like I have lived as him, it gets so annoying. Because she’s in the car with you one moment, about ready to kiss you and then she leaves and is with Edward. And then she’s back with you, you know.
Head on to Rolling Stone Magazine for the whole interview and Taylor’s photoshoot gallery.
TIME Magazine has another article about The Twilight Saga: New Moon setting records at the box-office.
For now, though, New Moon is the big news. The international grosses will also be massive. The first film earned $192.7 million in North America and almost exactly the same abroad. The worldwide five-day total for New Moon(which opened two days earlier abroad) is already at $258.8 million; expect a final worldwide gross to near $700 million. The thing’s a phenomenon, and all the analysis of its popularity can’t explain or diminish it. Sometimes the best strategy for canny film people is to step out of the way and let a hurricane sweep by. Nobody knows anything, except the customers. And you could bet your shirt on that.
Read the whole story here. Also check out their gallery of New Moon characters – we love Victoria’s portrait!
TIME Magazine have also interviewed Robert Pattinson and Chris Weitz.
Seemingly overnight, Robert Pattinson went from playing Voldemort’s roadkill in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to being the immortal half of one of the hottest screen couples of all time. He spoke with TIME about how he landed the role of Twilight‘s Byronic vampire Edward Cullen, what it’s like to be a generational crush and how to walk unmolested along the streets of Vancouver.
You took on an edgy vampire movie and it’s become this. Did you know what you were signing up for?
I had no idea it was going to be like this. I really had no idea until … I guess I still don’t. The time that it hit me really was when we were shooting in Italy and the emotional reaction — it wasn’t just screaming. It was like people were so intently listening and watching. After every take there was polite applause. And it wasn’t hysteria. It was literally devotion to the characters. It was amazing. I haven’t felt that in any other situation.…Why are America and the world so mental about it?
I was just in Japan, but when I first went there in February, the people who went to the fan events there were mainly people who went to American schools. This time it was an entirely Japanese audience. No one could really speak English, but they reacted in the same way as they have around the world. Even the distributor was saying, Japanese audiences don’t react like this. And they were stunned by the whole thing.There must be this weird, primal thing in people that they react to. There are so many love stories that come out. So many vampire stories that come out. Even the load of vampire stories coming out now have the exact same story line. This doesn’t have the same reaction. I think it’s all about being part of a club. People used to say it was a guilty pleasure. But I don’t even think it is that anymore. I think people genuinely appreciate that they are part of something.
… A whole generation will remember you as Edward. You’re a generational crush. Is that hard to live up to or difficult to accept?
There’s no living up to it. I think the major fear is just fighting too hard against it. Most people who have a downfall from a like situation is when they do try to fight, and fight and fight: I’m not this teenybopper person, blah, blah, blah. Even if a lot of people see me and the franchise as like that, I never have, at any point. But I don’t feel the need to fight against it. I’ve never tried to pander to any kind of audience. I’ve tried to make the films as intelligent and uncheesy as you could. And I’ve tried to make them the best they can be. I’ve never thought about it any other way. So I hope that pays off.
True, he’d already made one iconic teen movie. But Twilight fans were initially shocked when American Pie director Chris Weitz was handed the reins forNew Moon. TIME spoke with Weitz about his immersion in the Twilightworld, dealing with Internet rumors and winning over the fans in the run-up to New Moon‘s Nov. 20 release.
How much do you pay attention to what the fans are saying on the Web?
During shooting I tried to not go onto the Internet at all if possible. I started to pay attention to fan reaction to the trailers that have been out and what kind of stuff they like, just in order to get a temperature of where things were heading. I think you end up being a politician responding to polls if you pay too much attention to the Internet. Because it’s a quick way to convince yourself that one particular person who happens to be Twittering at the moment just happens to be the authority. I try to put out fires when bizarre rumors get started. One rumor I addressed was that the Volturi scenes were supposed to be set in a bathhouse with everyone naked.Real or not, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are reported breathlessly to be a couple — does that help the franchise?
I don’t know whether it helps it or not. I just know that it will be around as long as they keep making these movies. People always want the stars of movies to fall in love with one another. There’s no calculated effort to make it seem that way on the part of Summit Marketing. You really want it to be about the characters themselves. It neither helps nor hurts. It just gives fans waiting in between movies something to talk about.
Lastly, The New Moon cast Twittered yesterday and today to thank fans for their support – on Summit Entertainment’s Official Twitter page – Twilight

The Twilight Saga: New Moon Interview with Taylor Lautner
The Twilight Saga: New Moon is sure to shine the spotlight on actor Taylor Lautner, way more so than he received for his performance in Twilight. Even though legions of fans already love him for being a part of the first film, New Moon showcases his talents as Jacob Black, the werewolf vying for the affections of best friend Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), while her vampire love is gone.
The personable and gracious 17-year-old is soaking up all of the extraordinary experiences being a part of this film franchise has brought him and is taking it all in stride, as he prepares for the release of New Moon. At the film’s press day, Taylor Lautner talked about proving his ability to convincingly portray the transformation of Jacob Black.
Q: Did it ever feel like you were really in danger of not getting the role in this movie?
Taylor: Honestly, I knew where my character went in New Moon and that’s all I tried to stay focused on. I couldn’t control things outside. I couldn’t control the media. But, I could control what I was doing to portray Jacob Black correctly. That’s what I stayed focused on, the whole entire time.
Q: Did that start with going to the gym and gaining 30 lbs?
Taylor: Absolutely. Jacob transforms a lot in New Moon, not only physically. but mentally and emotionally as well. So, it was a matter of getting to the gym and eating the right food, and a lot of it. But, it was also about reading and studying the book and the character, over and over and over again, so I could have his character down as well because he changes in many, many different ways
Q: How does he change?
Taylor: Basically, my job was to continue what I started in Twilight, which was this extremely happy, friendly, outgoing guy, who is best friends with Bella. I had to continue that for the first half of the film, but as soon as he transforms, he snaps and becomes a completely different person. He’s dealing with his issues and it’s really hard for him.
Q: You have a lot of opportunities in the film to show off your new physique, like when Jacob takes off his t-shirt to wipe Bella’s blood.
Taylor: I start laughing so hard, every time I see that scene. “You’re bleeding? Okay, let me fix it.” It’s so embarrassing. Here’s the thing: there’s a reason that he’s not wearing clothes, all the time. One, when he transforms, all his clothes get shredded. He can’t help it. And, when he goes into the woods to get something to put on, so that he’s not naked, it’s just a ripped pair of jean shorts. He’s also hot. He’s 108 degrees. So, that’s another reason. The thing is, I love this character and story, and putting on the weight and not wearing much clothing was required by the role. A year from now, if I love a story and I love a character that requires me to lose 40 lbs, I’m ready to do it.
…
Q: How freeing was it to get rid of Jacob’s wig?
Taylor: It was very freeing. I’d look at myself in the mirror and I wouldn’t even be able to recognize myself. It was so weird just to see that hair on me. It was also very itchy, hot and annoying. And, it slowed down the filming process. Whenever it got caught in my eye or whatever, we’d have to cut and start over. It got caught in my mouth and I’d be spitting hair out in the middle of the scene. I’m coming this close to kissing Bella and I’d have to spit my hair out. It was annoying.We actually had a picture wrap on the wig. The crew claps for you at the end of shooting. My last day of filming with the wig, we ripped it off, held it up in the air and were like, “That’s a picture wrap on Taylor’s wig.” The whole crew gave it a standing ovation. It was amazing. It was great to chop that thing off.
…
Q: Who else are you close to?
Taylor: I wouldn’t be able to pick one. If I were to start, I’d end up listing the whole cast. I do spend a lot of time with Kristen because all my scenes are involved with her, so Kristen and I are very close. I guess I’m close with Rob, too, ’cause we spend a lot of time together as well. But, the great thing about this series is that the whole entire cast is so close, and it would be a nightmare if we weren’t. It would be impossible to make this series because the characters are so tight. So, we’re really thankful that we all get along so well.
Q: What has it been like working in Vancouver, Canada?
Taylor: Canada is great. I’ve spent a while there. I’ve spent six months out of this year. The first time we were there, it was really rainy, dark and cloudy. It was snowing. That was difficult weather-wise. But, it’s just one of the most beautiful cities and I’m definitely going to miss it a lot.
Q: How was it to film Eclipse? What can you say about that film?
Taylor: Filming Eclipse was beautiful. Eclipse was my favorite book, so I was really excited to start filming the movie. I just love that it’s the height of the love triangle. Twilight develops Edward and Bella’s relationship, New Moon develops Jacob and Bella’s, and in Eclipse the three of them are physically together. It has one of my favorite scenes ever, in that movie. The tent scene, where Edward is forced, and I guess it was a choice of his, to let me sleep in the same sleeping bag as Bella, just so she doesn’t die, because she’s shivering to death and I’m warm. I’m the only thing, at that moment, that can keep her alive. It’s a funny scene. There’s a lot of ribbing going on between Jacob and Edward. It’s going to be a really good movie and visually stunning. David Slade is incredible visually.
…
Q: In the movie, Jacob speaks Spanish to Bella. Do you speak any Spanish at all, and are you going to speak more Spanish in Eclipse?
Taylor: I don’t speak much Spanish. I took it in school, but that was about it. I think it’s just Jacob’s personality. He’s really outgoing and he’s random. It definitely doesn’t have anything to do with his character. It’s just the fact that he’s friendly and you never know what to expect.
I didn’t speak any Spanish in Eclipse. That was a bummer. But, at the end of this one I did speak a little bit of Quileute, when I was leaning in to kiss her in the kitchen. I’m not gonna tell you what I said. I’ll leave that to you to figure out. But, it was really cool. There’s only like four people left in the world that actually speak Quileute, and we were able to talk to one of these ladies. It was really interesting.
Kristen & Taylor At the Press Conference in Brazil!
From FoForks.com:
Today was not a day like any other for the fans of New Moon, the second episode of the Twilight saga – the blockbuster of the time. On a sunny Sunday afternoon, the eve of holiday, the actors Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner attended a news conference at the Grand Hyatt in Sao Paulo. In addition to journalists eager to see 15 minutes of unedited film – which was not aired, should be provided Only trailers known New Moon – and to know closely the teen stars of the moment, a crowd formed outside the hotel.
Girls between 10 and 16 years were screaming, crying and begging for an appearance of the protagonist couple of long days that come 20 theaters. In vain. Kristen Taylor and posed for photos, participated in a friendly and only the collective. Left to journalists to explain the rowdy fans who have not played or chatted with the actors. It was work. And it was only appropriate that we speak.
Kristen Stewart impresses with maturity. At 20, the actress made it clear that he knows very well what Bella did in his life. Detached, using two watches, one on each arm – is it to control the time in another part of the world and not lose contact with Robert Pattinson? – And far more stylish than her character, the actress said that Bella grew and appeared in this second film.
“In Twilight Bella believed in herself. Now Edward breaks up with her, which is lost and only recovered with the help of Jacob. New Moon, the book was written from the point of view. We have a much more reflective and philosophical and the characters are more mature and Bella is becoming a woman, “says the frail and disheveled Kristen.
The CineSéries was at the press conference of the New Moon with Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, and tell what happened there, as were the questions, and everything else! Check out the interview. I loved it, thought it was very nice! I hope you come back and bring the next Rob!
Twilight fans, get ready for strong emotions! The following lines contain information that is frantically beat the hearts of all that came with vampire love saga more popular nowadays. Early on Sunday, November 1, actors Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan) and Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black) were in the city of Sao Paulo to promote the movie New Moon, second feature of the franchise.
The CineSéries was at the event and to all first hand! The only news conference on national lands happened at the Grand Hyatt, luxurious hotel in the southern region of São Paulo, and had an impressive number of journalists, photographers and passionate fans who camped outside the hotel on the lookout for their idols.
Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are some cute! They met the journalists with great sympathy, showed great tune (Robert Pattinson who care!) And squandered beauty during the fast 30-minute conference. Everyone should be bald to know the effects that Hollywood is able to transform the deceased into the model, but the interpreters of Bella Swan and Jacob Black do not need to enforce these arrangements. The CineSéries sat in the front row and guarantees the truth of those words!
Before the actors answer questions from the media, some videos with short clips from the film were shown to journalists, but none became big news. The sneek peaks had fallen into the net for a long time, turning the press conference in the only gap event. Check below the main sections:
Question: When the Twilight sequel was confirmed, still was not sure if Taylor Lautner continue in the role of Jacob Black. How you dealt with the question?
Kristen Stewart: In the minds of everyone, Taylor Lautner was ideal for the role. He was young then, but we knew he was the right guy for the character. The media did this uncertainty appear larger, especially if we compare to the feeling of the rest of the cast.
Taylor Lautner: At that time there was still no director appointed. Even without knowing what would happen, I focused on what should play. I prepared for Jacob even without knowing whether she would continue to interpret it.

MTV Movies Blog had an interview with Taylor Lautner at the VMA’s about his workout and Rob. Taylor Lautner: Robert Patinson Doesn’t Need Workout Advice
But Lautner isn’t the only one Twilighters got an eyeful of in the trailer — Robert Pattinson also appears sans shirt. And Lautner insists that if the two were to compete in some kind of shirt-off, the competition would be stiff. “I don’t know [who would win]. Rob, he’s getting some muscle,” he explained. “There’s some good competition.”
MTV also did another article with Anna Kendrick about her level of fame. ‘Twilight’ Actress Anna Kendrick Is Fine Without RPattz-Level Fame
“The thing about playing one of the human characters, the non-supernatural characters in the ‘Twilight’ series, is we have a lot more liberty to make it our own and change things, because people don’t have that attachment that they do to the myth, the world that Stephenie Meyer created in terms of the supernatural aspect,” the actress explained.
Here’s another interview with Anna by HitFix. Q&A: Anna Kendrick talks ‘New Moon’, ‘Scott Pilgrim’ and her breakthrough in ‘Up in the Air’
Q: Do you know if you’ll be back for ‘Breaking Dawn’ if and when those movies happen?
It does feel like to us — when I say ‘us’ I assume people know I’m referring to the human characters — it feels like it’s probably coming to a close. We appear in a dream sequence or one sequence in the book of of ‘Breaking Dawn’ so I don’t know if we’ll be back for it and we’re only signed up for three, because the three books were only out when we made the first film. So, I don’t know that we will be involved in ‘Breaking Dawn,’ but it’s a really fun thing to go back to. Particularly when I go back for this short period of time it feels like I’m going back to summer camp and I’m seeing my friends from summer camp.
Radar Online had a meeting with Edi Gathegi where he actually tried to scare the author, Stephenie Meyer! EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Twilight Actor Edi Gathegi Scared Stephenie Meyer
Radar: How scary is your scene?
Gathegi: Let’s just put it this way. I told Stephenie Meyer that my goal would be to scare every 14 year-old girl, and she looked at me and said “Edi, you’re so sweet and you have such a little baby face, no one is going to be scared of you at all.” Then she saw the movie and the dailies said, “OK Edi, you scared me!” And I said “That means a lot coming from you,” especially since she told me I wasn’t even going to be able to BE scary!

Were you familiar with Rob, or had you heard of him before he was cast?
No – he told me he was in a Harry Potter movie but made it seem like a small part. After the first audition I was sure he could be good, so checked him out online and realized he had a huge fan base already. Another call back or two to doubly make sure we had our man, and we were set.
