The faux St. Marcus Day Festival in New Moon, which will involve up to 1500 extras, has begun to ramp up. Extras in red garb have started appearing on the streets, as recent pics from TwilightersItalia show. They say–
Each one of them was clad in red. Hoods, robes, t-shirt, caps…everything was red! They couldn’t really say anyhing because the producers have told them that if they were caught they would be expelled from the set and nobody wants to lose the chance to be in the movie.
It’s said that this afternoon there was a little commotion and they think Robert Pattinson was there, but nobody would say that plainly. There are no pictures of him at the airport because he went out through a side exit allowed to the airport staff only.
Today the porsche crew finished working and, from what we understood, tomorrow Robert Pattinson himself will shoot some scene, maybe something related to Edward’s desperation before the Volturi’s verdict.
It won’t be Kristen Stewart to jump in the fountain but her stunt double, an Italian girl. Right now, Alan Cappelli, the stunt double for Robert Pattinson is waiting in his car to be called to set. We don’t know though what scene they’ll shoot.
Check out the rest of the pics over at TwilightersItalia!
We’re still waiting for the official poster featuring the buff and bare Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black, but in the meanwhile this fanmade version by Hazeena should do the trick!
EW’s new article about New Moon with exclusive pictures from the Vancouver set has hit their website. You’ll definitely want to check out the whole thing, including this–
One of director Weitz’s creative challenges is Edward’s long absence in the novel: ”Rob was the first guy to say to me, ‘You know, you don’t really need to have too much of me in this film.’ I don’t want him too present, so his apparition will be a subtle, flitting effect — clearly a reflection of Bella’s will and desire to see him.”

In celebration of all the beautiful flowers starting to bloom in my neck of the woods, this week’s Wolf Cub Friday is having a bit of a howl with the wildflowers. Have a great Friday!
E! Online has a brief video detailing what to expect from the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, which has an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the filming of New Moon in Vancouver.

LaineyGossip has a fantastic new blog entry up from her friend Laura, a huge Robert Pattinson fan. In it, she describes in minute detail the experience of being in the presence of Rob–
I look up to see him walking in, in his fitted tux, no tie, a couple of buttons on his shirt undone, looking absolutely delicious. He’s walking like he’s on a runway, a far cry from his usual “please don’t look at me” gait with slumped shoulders and a ducked head. Methinks that every once in a while, Mr. Pattinson enjoys kicking the wardrobe up a notch – and I’m not complaining.
I should probably explain that I’m a fan. A very enthusiastic RPattz fan. While Lainey swears that outwardly I remained cool, I felt my heart rate triple at that moment. And suddenly I was wide awake. He took a seat at a table opposite us, giving me a close and unrestricted view of him and, to quote Lainey, sending my loins into quiveration mode.
So did I shamelessly ogle him for the next two hours? You bet your sweet ass I did!
Check out the whole fantastic story and more pics at LaineyGossip.
