If you live in Vancouver and are Native American/Aboriginal, this might be your big break! Shock Till You Drop reports that this Craigslist posting from yesterday is for New Moon! This assumption would make sense–the ad mentions major motion picture, First Nation/Aboriginal, and shooting starting in mid-March:

Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen in Twilight, was pleased to hear that Dakota Fanning may be cast as Jane in the New Moon movie, noting to PopEater that “She is a phenomenal actress… [The role of Jane] would be great for her,”

He also says that–

“I have been very fortunate to work with great people. The ['Twilight'] cast is really great. We are like a family,” Facinelli said. “[During filming] I took on the father figure role, and they were all my kids. I love all of them,” he added.

Facinelli says he is excited to start working on ‘New Moon,’ which is expected to start shooting in March. Even though he hasn’t seen the final script, there is one scene he’s excited about. “There is a scene where Dr. Cullen stitches up Bella’s hand, and there is a really nice conversation… I think it’s important to the book,” he said.

Five of the top sites covering New Moon–your humble host included–were asked by Reelzchannel to participate in an article about our five most anticipated scenes that will be in the New Moon movie. Here’s a sample of what we had to say: [SPOILERS AHEAD!]

His Golden Eyes:

• Bella, Jacob, and Mike at the movies — This is one of the lighter moments in the story. This scene provides some much-need comic relief after Bella’s comatose months. It’s nice to see Bella moving forward, and let’s face it, as much as we adore the pesky-but-adorable Mike Newton, him puking his poor little guts out will provide us with countless laughs.

NewMoonMovie.org:

• The one everyone is waiting for, Bella jumping from a cliff (There have already been quite a few fan videos about this one!)
• The high-speed scene where Alice and Bella are rushing to save Edward in the stolen, yellow Porsche
• Laurent discovering Bella in the woods, and then the werewolves menacingly coming out of the forest
• A glimpse into Alice’s vision (flashback of the future?) of Edward walking out into the sun and everyone seeing him glow
• The large group of tourists being led into the Volturi feeding room and slowly realizing that they have walked into a trap

• Port Angelas/the first time Bella “hears” Edward
