Shelly Morrison, who won the job of the fan who is the MTV Movie Awards Insider, has just seen the full New Moon trailer. Be sure to watch the video to hear some music that seems to be from the trailer, as well as lots of talk of Jacob’s buff bod in the trailer! So what does she have to say of what she saw?–

I got to watch the “New Moon” trailer that will be airing on Sunday during the big show (airing live at 9 p.m. ET). Amazing! I loved it! It looks like director Chris Weitz has tried to incorporate as many elements from the book as possible, and — no worries — the vamps all look great. I was completely speechless at first.

She spoke with MTV’s resident Twilight expert Larry Carroll about the trailer as well–

We both agree that the new look is great and that there are a lot of elements that Twilighters will be excited about.

Fans that want to get a glimpse of New Moon sights in Vancouver have several options springing up in the form of businesses that offer custom tours of the area. The Province interviews Allie Henze from Twilight Set Tours, whose motto is “By Fans, For Fans”–

“A couple of us basically got this together because we’ve been successfully Twilight stalking for a long time now,” she says, with a laugh, “and we just thought it would be a good idea to start a tours company and provide more of a formal structure to it for fans because we get a lot of requests from people — you know, take us to the sets and that sort of thing.”

Christine Kilpatrick from another tour company, Twilight Tours Vancouver, says that–

“So, I have tonnes and tonnes and tonnes of little bits of trivia information that no one else will know because as a journalist I’m always seeking out these types of little bits and pieces to make a good story. So that will be part of our tour as well,” says Kilpatrick.

What do you think–would you want to take a Twilight tour of Vancouver?

The Twilight cast went from being relative unknowns to some of the hottest stars in Hollywood in a year due to the success of the movie. The video above shows Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart going relatively unnoticed at last year’s MTV Movie Awards–it’s safe to say every eye will be on them tomorrow nightd. MTV takes a look at their rise to stardom along with Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke–

“Pretty much, everyone was more or less an unknown when we cast them,” she explained. “Now they’ve all blown up big, like, crazy.”

“I think it’s going to be different,” she said of the reception she expects for stars like Pattinson on this year’s red carpet. “Most people, now, know who Robert is. He’s been at the top of the Star Meter on IMdB for a year now — he’s really blown up big.”
