Here are some new shots from the set of Jacob Black’s house in Vancouver today as it’s being prepared for the filming of the New Moon movie. Anyone have any idea what the metal things are in the second shot? Are they going to have a gymnastics parallel bars competition (Bring it On 3: Undead)? Will they hang screens from these to block the view from the street during filming? Are they for special effects work? Am I missing something completely obvious?

Thanks to BrieLeigh84 for the shots! (Previously: Video from Set of New Moon)

Join us tonight for another night of Twivia Tuesday! We had a great first week and a bit more hectic second week, but we’re ironing out the bugs and learning along the way on how to make it operate best. The festivites will start at 8pm EST and if you visit the NewMoonMovie.org Chat Room page, you’ll notice there are now two chat rooms–the one on the bottom is to be used exclusively for watching for questions and entering your answers while Twivia is being played, so all the chit-chat in the main room won’t drown out playing the game.

There should be plenty of mods and lots of fun tonight, so be sure to stop by and play–arrive a bit early so you can get accustomed to the rules that are linked from the chat page. There might even be a prize for the winner!

OMG! Here are the first shots of the new wolf pack from New Moon! No casting has been announced for the new wolf pack members yet, but these shots certainly look right: lots of buff Native American-looking manmeat hanging out with Taylor Lautner. Woo-hoo! Is the one guy on top Bronson Pelletier?

These are decisions for Chris Weitz. However yesterday Chris Weitz, in addition to spending time with his wolves, was at a luxury dealership checking out options for the Cullen fleet. All I remember is they like expensive fast cars. Please twihards, please you don’t need to email me with the details. Please know I’m thrilled you have them memorised.

Anyway, back to Taylor and his skin – it’s perfect, non? Seems like a sweet, earnest kid. He deserves a piece of the Twi Pie too! Laura…be nice.

Check out all the pics at Lainey Gossip. [thanks, TwiCrack!]

PS-I love Chris Weitz’s velcro-strap sneaks! Tight!

Vanity Fair has an interesting new photoshoot where they create some scenes from West Side Story in honor of its upcoming revival. Robert Pattinson and Cam Gigandet are in the pic above, but can you find them?

The Sharks and the Jets mark out a piece of urban turf while simultaneously expressing the joy of being young, vigorous, and able to kick ass. As Bernardo, in red, Rodrigo Santoro (Behind the Sun) leads fellow Sharks played by Brandon T. Jackson (Tropic Thunder) and Jay Hernandez (Grindhouse, Hostel, Ladder 49). The Jets’ leader, Riff, in yellow, is played by Chris Evans, equally hot-headed in the role of the Torch in the Fantastic Four movies. Rounding out his crew are Cam Gigandet (The O.C., Twilight), Drake Bell (yes, the Drake, of Nickelodeon’s Drake & Josh), and Robert Pattinson (Edward in Twilight, Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire). They are not fully visible but they don’t mind, because they know the maxim, “There are no small parts, only small actors.”

West Side Story Revisited [thanks TwiCrack]

Kristen Stewart talks pretty enthusiastically about New Moon in this new interview with E!–

“I’m so excited because the story is scaled down a little bit. [Edward] leaves her, and that’s sort of what the entire first movie is based on,” K.S. semi-enthused. So if you take that away, there is still a story, which I think is impressive.”

I can’t wait to see how [Jacob] is able to pull [Bella] out, but he does. She’s like a zombie and he’s the light. It’s such a tragic story. It’s like, ‘That’s who I should be with, but I’m totally in love with the guy I shouldn’t be with.’ Girls are like that. It’s relatable.
