Vancity Allie has a great report of her experience seeing some of the New Moon cast at the Blue Water party last night, as well as castmembers around town earlier in the day. Interestingly, there were quite a few large manuscript-looking items given out–

I saw a couple cast members holding thick manuscripts, including Rob, so I’m PRETTY sure they were possibly giving out Eclipse scripts (with David Slade, Stephenie and Melissa doesn’t it seem possible?). How cool is that?

Michael Sheen has a couple of fun new tweets–in one he reveals that the entire Volturi crew is having their official photoshoot for promotional pictures:

just did a big photoshoot for publicity stills- all the Volturi. We are one freaky looking bunch.

He also takes a shot at describing his version of Aro:

Have decided my Aro is a cross between the Blue Meanie, the Childcatcher and Nick Cave. But with red eyes.

Yes, that would be a nightmarish combo.

[thanks, Tia!]

Check out this mockup of the New Moon wolf pack tattoo, based on the picture of the wolf pack that was released in April. A friend of TwiFans made this illustration in Photoshop as a best guess of what the finished tattoo looks like up close.

I’m definitely seeing a few things like you might in a Rorschach inkblot from this illustration. Anyone else see the head-on face of a wolf, with the nose at the bottom and eyes on either side at the top? How about two symmetric wolves sitting on their hind legs in profile, facing each other while howling, with their mouths meeting at the top center?

Robert Pattinson’s new Salvador Dali biopic Little Ashes isn’t receiving universal acclaim. Should the New Moon actor find cause for concern with these negative reviews? Not so fast, says E! Online–

Critics remain way underwhelmed by Robert Pattinson’s channeling of artist Salvador Dalí in Little Ashes. Call it a lack of—tee hee—sparkle. A few were impressed—the London Daily Express calls Pattinson’s take “a spirited performance.” But most agree with MTV’s Kurt Loder, who says, “As soon as Pattinson steps forth with Dalí’s famous up-twirled mustaches pasted to his face, the picture collapses.”

That isn’t necessarily bad news for Pattinson fans, however, especially if you’re open to a long-term love affair…

Despite the mixed reviews, veteran casting directors are calling Pattinson’s choice in films brilliant, especially if he wants a long career.

Essentially, it’s better than Robert Pattinson is taking on challenging roles that he may falter at a bit, then being typecast over and over again as a teen-movie star hitmaker. By taking on these difficult roles, he’s proving himself gradually, over time. What do you think? Is it best he’s taking on more difficult roles?

[thanks, RobRocks!]

Dakota Fanning and Rachelle LeFevre, who play Jane and Victoria in New Moon, were seen hanging out together out and about in Vancouver. Rachelle’s little sis came along for the trip, and they ended up at the cast party over at Blue Water Cafe. Rachelle’s hair is looking gorgeous!

Last night we caught wind of a big shindig going down at Blue Water Cafe with much of the cast of New Moon via these tweets by LaineyGossip. I was going to wait for some pics to pop up to post this, but I haven’t seen any yet so here are the messages from last night to whet your appetite for later.

UPDATE: Pics of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart leaving at SocialiteLife or Popsugar . There are pictures of Stephenie Meyer from last night, as well.

[thanks, Jillian and Giggsy]

Twilight fan Malicious Mandy has a great trip report from Montepulciano, where she tries to gather some intel on the filming locations and such before New Moon begins filming in Montepulciano, Italy later this month.

Obviously the Piazza Grande will be used. That will be the busy square that Bella runs through just as the clock (conveniently on the tower) strikes noon. There are two alleys on either side of the main building, and both are fairly atmospheric, but I’m not convinced that they’ll be the ones used in the film. [....] The other building that they are supposedly using (none of this is confirmed, I’m just going on Montepulciano’s tourism board), is the Palazzo Selimbini. It’s about a ten minute walk straight downhill from the Piazza Grande.

Check out the rest of her report over at her blog.

[thanks Pillowbiters]
