PRO: Her emo-vampire series Twilight is the biggest book franchise since Harry Potter, with four titles locked on the best-seller list. Last fall’s Twilight film, meanwhile, earned a No. 1 spot at the box office despite a starless cast.

CON: The Booker! The Nobel! The Pen/Faulkner! These are just some of the many awards her books won’t be winning anytime soon.

200903241525.jpg 4tnz has an interview with the hand model from the cover of Twilight–

That’s right, we met the apple holding hand model at the Twilight DVD release part this past weekend. And she was sweet enough to give us an interview!

Check out the vid below to hear what she has to say about how she got the awesomest job ever, whether she’s on Team Jacob or Edward and whether she’s squeamish about handshakes. Yikes!

200903241512.jpg Kristen Stewart talks about three of her upcoming movies in this new interview. Concerning New Moon, she has this to say–

Um … we have to talk about New Moon, you know that.

“[We are] just picking up where we left off. The story, there’s like a six-month period where the first one ended, and the second one picks up, but nothing has changed. They’re at a good, solid point in their relationship. I’m interested to see him leave because that’s what the first one is entirely based on, that abandoned devotion ultimate love story. Now she’s going to be stripped of that, and Bella is actually an interesting character on her own.”

Steroids? Jacob? Wha?

“Taylor Lautner is Jacob. It was under deliberation for a while, so we’re glad that he’s doing it … He’s jacked. It’s crazy … He’s not on steroids … I’ve seen the steady progression, and I’ve seen him a lot since then. If I had seen Taylor who did Twilight to the Taylor right now who’s about to start New Moon, he’s an entirely different person physically. I mean, it took him so much time. He’s so devoted. He’s amped, really excited.”

200903241500.jpg We’ve got a couple of reports in that New Moon is now filming at the set for Jacob Black’s house . However, security is super-tight and no pictures have surfaced yet–VancouverVamp has this to share–

I went by Jake’s house last night to see if I could get a few pics of Bella’s truck for my collection and they were full on filming there! I got to see Taylor and Kristen standing in black rain jackets being talked to a few of the set guys and the guy who plays Billy Black (Birmingham?) walking around in a white, blue and black polar fleece with his signature hat. I couldent snap any pics because the set was guarded by POLICE!!! They blocked off all of [redacted] and part of [redacted] in [redacted] for this but seeing that the set is on the corner of the cross streets I was able to slow down to look.

Another source shares a similar story, except she didn’t see Billy Black but saw the entire wolf pack.

UPDATE: Another source, Mikaela, has this to share–

Today my girlfriend and I went to go see if there was a chance we could watch while they were filming at Jacob Black’s house. But like the other person who commented on filming, we were not allowed anywhere near the set. The Police were there guarding it so there was no way we were going to get anywhere near it. But we were allowed to stand at a far distance and watch from there, not that we could see anything, and we were told not to take any pictures or to video tape the set. It seems like they are taking extra precautions, which makes sense, could you image the crowd that would form if they let anyone and everyone watch.

A fan visited Forks, WA for some Twilight sightseeing and sent me her exciting tale. It was quite an adventure–despite getting into a car wreck and being saved by locals, just like Bella, talented NMM.org reader WoodenDance got some amazing photographs and wrote quite a trip report to let everyone know what it’s like to visit Forks and La Push. Read on for her report!

montepulciano new moon

The official Twilight blog from Eagle Pictures, distributors of Twilight in Italy, have denied rumors of New Moon being shot between May 25th and May 30th in Montepulciano, Italy. It is important to note that they do not deny that the movie will be shot in Montepulciano, only that the dates are incorrect.

In Italian: “Dobbiamo invece darvi una brutta notizia: la Pro Loco di Montepulciano ci ha scritto comunicandoci che l’amministrazione comunale ha smentito i rumour sulle date delle riprese italiane di New Moon nella città: le date 25/30 maggioattualmente non sono certe, né confermate. L’unico organo che potrà dare notizie certe a riguardo sarà il comune di Montepulciano stesso, dal quale ci aspettiamo un comunicato ufficiale quanto prima. Questo non smentisce le riprese, ma solo le date precedentemente segnalate…”

English Translation: “We have to give you some bad news: the Pro Loco (tourism office) of Montepulciano wrote us to say that the municipality administration denied the rumours on the dates of the shooting of New Moon in Italy: The dates of 25-30th of May actually are neither certain, nor confirmed. The only official channel enabled to provide sure information regarding this matter will be Montepulciano’s municipality, from which we’ll be expecting an official communication shortly. This does not deny the shooting in Montepulciano, just the dates reported before…”

Thanks to TwilightItalia for the translation!

Quileute Legends

Slappy the Beaver Quileute Legends When Bella does a Google search for Quieleute legends in Twilight, one of the book results is Legends of the Slappy Beaver. This is one of the many hilarious things we learn from the commentary bits on the Twilight DVD. Here are a couple more–

39:35: Edwards pulls up to save Bella from the bad humans.

Pattinson: [In prissy voice] “Now listen, guuuyyysss!”

Stewart: See, I knew you were gonna start saying something about this, but I think you look very scary.

Pattinson: “Come on guys. Let’s all, come on, let’s be simple about this.”

Hardwicke: I like the way the car roars in. Obviously, that wasn’t your driving, or those people would all be dead.

1:14:18 Finally, the kissing scene. Hardwicke says, “I have heard from, um, people of all ages, that this scene kinda gets ‘em goin’.” It certainly works on 33-year-olds. Or so I have, um, heard.

Pattinson: This is quite difficult ’cause I have a really flat head, and so it’s quite difficult to get a correct angle,” Pattinson says. “And you can’t go up from down below as well, ’cause I’ve got, like, rock solid gelled hair. And so, like, it was odd. I don’t know, sometimes I feel like my head is being, like, turned inside out. Like that episode of Ren & Stimpy when he’s inside his own belly button. [Stewart laughs] I don’t know.

Hardwicke: Okay….

Check out the rest over at EW!

200903240847.jpg The Calgary Herald has a new interview with Rachelle LeFevre where she shares some interesting thoughts on her part in the Twilight saga–

“I wanted Victoria to be playful and powerful, but not a sociopath. There’s no pathology to her evil. I think she’s just an example of what happens when you have absolute power: It corrupts absolutely,” she says.

“And let’s face it: If you were more powerful than every other person on the planet, you’d start looking at everyone else as inferior beings. Victoria also sees humans as food, too, which doesn’t help with the empathy.”

200903240835.jpg MTV has a new article up where they talk to the cast about their thoughts on the new found popularity with the paparazzi both in America and abroad–

A year ago, they were young actors with few credits, traveling to Portland to shoot a low-budget vampire film with an indie director. This week, they’re returning to Vancouver as A-listers, filming one of the most eagerly anticipated sequels of the year.

“It’s kind of bizarre,” Ashley Greene told us over the weekend, discussing the stalker-iffic photos that popped up all over the Web recently — some even dissecting their beverage selections as they began “New Moon” pre-production. “We would walk out of our hotel, and there would be people there taking pictures, and the [headline] would be, like, ‘Jackson and Ashley Get Coffee!’ It’s new.”

According to Edi Gathegi, there might even be a double agent in the midst of the “Twilight” stars, leaking details about their movements. “There is a mole, and the mole is feeding information,” Gathegi marveled, remembering recent pictures of the group flying out of Vancouver last week. “[The paparazzi] took pictures of every single one of us leaving the airport! It’s like, how are they getting this information?”

Read the rest of the article to find out about pranks Edi Gathegi and Kellan Lutz are pulling, as well as how they think Canadians are more polite than Americans in the world of the the paparazzi.
