The yellow Porsche that Alice will drive in New Moon has been discovered in Montepulciano, Italy! Ale at TwilightersItalia sends in this report–
The big man you can see in some pictures is one of the stuntmen. He had an Alice wig, a bandana, a couple of elbow high red gloves, and seemingly from far he actually looked like our loved little vampire/pixie.
Mauro secretly told us that there are two yellow porsche in Montepulciano, placed in different places of the town. As they were not exactly identical, one had yellow brake pad cover and another had them red, Production was willing to spend to the incredible amount of €5800 PER PIECE to have them all red!!!
Luckily they found out a way to paint them, but this episode says a lot on how high is this movie’s budget!!!
The helicopter we told you about ealier, has kept low-flying whole day long filming aerial of the main square.. The fountain is not finished yet, so probably this was a rehearsal or shooting for the DVD’s extra-contents .
New Moon’s Jackson Rathbone has landed a lead role in the movie Lords of Chaos by Japanese director Sion Sono. The film will be about Norway’s black metal music scene–
Based on Michael Moynihan and Didrik Soderlind’s book of the same name, the film depicts true events and revolves around the black metal sub-culture that spawned a wave of murders and Church arsons across Norway in the early 1990s.
Rathbone will play the lead role of The Count, often referred to as Norway’s Charles Manson, who brutally stabbed a black metal musician to death in 1993.
Red flags and banners have begun to spring up all around Montepulciano in preparation for the scenes that will be filmed for New Moon soon in the Italian city. A giant fountain is being constructed in front of the fateful clock tower as well. As for the red flags and banners, YuN from Italy says–
The red flags are because of the old district that is going to be used in the Piazza Grande shot. The production chose some of the districts in Montepulciano with red colors, the ones mainly used during the celebration.
In particular they chose the Voltaia district, asking them to participate as extras to the movie, in the mob, to show the feeling of an organized carnival, with flags and costumes really existing.
Ladycullen, who sent in the pics, notes that ironically the sign on the right says “Donate Blood”. Read on for more amazing photos as well as a video looking down at the plaza. [click to continue…]
Check out this version of the original shirtless wolf pack poster with Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black added that NMM.org reader Nikita sent in. With all the Robert Pattinson news lately, I figured I could throw Team Jacob fans a bone!
New Moon star Robert Pattinson attended the Cannes premiere of the new Quentin Tarantino film Inglourious Basterds–that’s Inglorious Bastards for those of us in the states–and he was looking mighty fine in black tie attire. Check out all the pics at The-Meadow.fr and Radar Online.
New Moon vamp Robert Pattinson left his hotel in Cannes this morning looking freshly showered, with his notorious hair still looking a bit damp. And people say he doesn’t bathe!
Robert Pattinson went out for grub–very high class grub, that is–at Michelangelo in Juan-les-Pins last night. A videographer captured every single moment of the action.
Brand new New Moon footage was aired last night at a cocktail party at Cannes, confirming rumors that appeared last night on Twitter. An attendee says–
Last night I went to a cocktail party for New Moon, the next film in the Twilight series. We got to see never-before-seen footage from the film and it looks good so far. Still heart-tugging. But most importantly, I fulfilled many a young girl’s dream to stand next to Robert Pattinson and share a joke with him.
I’m going to go take a hatecation now. Check out the rest of the lucky lady’s pics at Miss N-tertainment.
GMTV has a brief segment on the Robert Pattinson hysteria at Cannes, including a short interview with the New Moon star on the beach. It’s not embeddable, so check it out at their website.
UPDATE: There’s another new video interview at RTL. [Warning: Ads that play with this video may not be appropriate for younger viewers.]
