What a week for Kristen Stewart interviews! She’s promoting her new film The Cake Eaters, and MTV was sure to address New Moon questions as well, no doubt for damage control concerning her recent bad press–

Stewart: I look forward to all of it. We’re just starting prep on “New Moon,” and it’s almost like a more elaborate version of the first one. It’s getting bigger and bigger, which is great. I mean, it’s what we all hoped for.

MTV: When you were doing press for “Twilight,” you made a point of saying you couldn’t read “New Moon” until it came time to shoot. So have you read it now?

Stewart: Oh yeah, we’re heavily entrenched. We’re in the middle of it. We’re in the midst.

MTV: Summit recently announced a release date of June 30, 2010, for “Eclipse.” Some fans say it’s too close to the “New Moon” release date in November. What do you think?

Stewart: I think they should come out as soon as possible. I think it’s better that they’re coming out on top of each other. I mean, you could think of it, like, maybe you should tease people and give it to them maybe a year later. But I think the stories are so directly attached to one another that it’s good that people aren’t going to have so much time in between to forget about it.

‘Twilight’ Will Just Get ‘Bigger And Bigger,’ Kristen Stewart Says

4TNZ has created a clever use for Facebook that ties in with Twilight. You upload the graphic above to your Facebook page, then add tags on each face for the friend that best matches the description. This could be a funny way to tell people what you really think. 4TNZ says–

We made this web poster for you to download to your computer (left click on it with your mouse and then choose “save as” to put it on your desktop).

Then you can upload it to your Facebook page and tag your friends as each character! Who’s the most Alice of your BFFs? Or, better yet, who’s the Jacob?! Oo la la.

And if you don’t have Facebook, no prob! Just send it to your friends anyway, telling them which character they are most like. Soon, your whole posse will be full of vampires! (Watch your neck.)

Tag Your Friends In “Twilight!”

Boxwish has an article detailing the success of YouTube user tiffanyd666’s with her fantastic New Moon trailer:

The popularity for this trailer is unprecedented, with it becoming the 93rd most favourited clip on the site and the ninth top rated clip in the Film & Animation category. And there’s no questioning tiffanyd666’s devotion to the Stephenie Meyer novels as her profile page is chock-a-block with Twilight fan-mania. Her favourite music is Brit rock band Muse, a credited inspiration for Meyer with their anthem “Supermassive Black Hole” a fantastic backdrop to the Cullen baseball scene and her favourite books? Take a wild guess.

What may surprise you is that this YouTube phenomenon isn’t made by some Hollywood mogul with an alias, but is actually made by a 19-year-old Australian named Tiffany. And with over 10,000 subscribers and over 3,500 on her friends list, we’d hazard a guess and say people like her trailers.

I’m a huge fan of Tiffany’s work, and all I can do is add to the applause–kudos!

Eagle Pictures, the distributor of New Moon in Italy, has just posted a notice on their official site that indicates there is still no decision on where New Moon will be filmed in Italy–contrary to a previous report from Variety that marked Volterra as the definitive filming site. However, it is certain that part of New Moon will be shot somewhere in Italy–

And ‘now official: New Moon will be shot partly in Italy! At this time we do not yet know where, nor the exact date, but we will keep you updated and as soon as you know all the announcing on the blog. [Auto-translated Italian]

E’ ormai ufficiale: New Moon verrà girato in parte in Italia! Al momento NON sappiamo ancora dove, né le date precise, tuttavia vi terremo aggiornati e appena si saprà tutto lo annunceremo sul blog. [Original Italian]

Moviesonline.ca is reporting that Eagle Pictures is working on a cross-film promotion with Push and New Moon: (auto-translated from Italian):

You can win a tour of the set of the upcoming Twilight New Moon if you are Italian and go see Push. When you buy a ticket to PUSH in Italy you apparently get a vouture of some sort which enters you to win a tour of the set of Twilight New Moon.

The contest is being conducted by Eagle Pictures but that is all we know at this point. Tickets must be purchased between March 27th and April 5th.

I think “vouture” is the French word for “voucher”. What an amazing prize for our Italian friends!

UPDATE: There is more info at the Official Eagle Pictures page for Push–basically you’ll mail in your ticket stub for a chance to win.

Access Hollywood is continuing its week of deleted scenes from Twilight with this second offering, where “Edward (Robert Pattinson) warns Bella (Kristen Stewart) that there are far more dangerous things in the woods than him.”

While this isn’t quite as good as the outrageous finger-bite-kiss scene we saw previously, it’s definitely worth watching.

Mark Malkin from E! has interviewed Kristen Stewart, and she mirrors some of the same comments published earlier in the Collider interview, concerning negative recent fan reaction–

“I love the fans,” she insists. “I feel like I am one of the fans and any direct interaction I’ve ever had with them has been the most warm and pleasant and enthusiastic. If anything, it’s the biggest driving force that could propel you to do something.”

Stewart also comments on the Oscars rumors that her dad didn’t want her to attend the Academy Awards this year because Twilight wasn’t a “great movie” stating–

“If I was invited to the Oscars, I would be there in a nanosecond,” she says. “If I got an invitation to the Oscars, I wouldn’t turn it down!”

It’s that time of the week again, and for Wolf Cub Friday we’re bringing you a wolf cub that appears to be taking a restless nap under his mom’s careful watch. Is that his tiny little tongue I see? I think he’s ready to go out playing instead of napping!
