There’s a new interview with Jackson Rathbone and his band 100 Monkeys, and while most of the interview is about the band there are a couple of mentions of the projects Jackson is currently working on–

To feed the elephant in the room, Jackson, can you tease anything about “New Moon” for the yearning “Twilight” fans out there?

Jackson: It’s gonna be raging…action-packed, more steamy romance. You get to see a lot more crazy stuff happening. We went deeper into the world now, and it’s gonna be a fun thrill ride for everyone.

Also, filming recently wrapped in Pennsylvania for M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Last Airbender.” What was that experience like, Jackson?

Jackson: It’s been incredible, a great set. I really believe we’re making a film that’s going to be epic. It’s gonna move people. I think the movie’s gonna turn out beautiful.

The Guardian has a new article on how Forks has been changed from Twilight Tourism in the area. I found this bit particularly interesting–

The school’s principal was mobbed at a Seattle airport when a teenage fan spotted his Forks Spartan jacket and started yelling, “He’s from Forks, he’s from Forks!” The fervour is such, Cook says, that a local evangelist, Hallelujah Bill, has started preaching to fans about the dangers of becoming cult followers of the books.

Ready for some Rob-nom-noms?

Here’s New Moon star Robert Pattinson looking supergorgeous in a suit on the set of Remember Me.

Yeah, Rob picks out suits that he wears on his own time better–but complaining about the fit of this suit is like complaining about a T-bone when you wanted filet mignon. It’s still a great slice of meat!

After the break, Rob gets his morning coffee in plaid.

No, this won’t be a re-run.

My favorite talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is having Robert Pattinson on the show Wednesday, according to her website! He’ll be on the show along with John Travolta.

JOHN TRAVOLTA is not only a true superstar, he is genuinely one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. I love him and I couldn’t be happier that he’s here. Plus, ROBERT PATTINSON has become one of the biggest stars in the world, thanks to “Twilight.” He can’t even walk down the street anymore without being manhandled by adoring fans (and of course, Chris Matthews). Plus, there’s a very touching reunion on today’s show that you won’t see anywhere else!

See the vid above for Rob’s previous awesome appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

UPDATE: It is very likely just a re-run of the previous episode shown above, as John Travolta was on last time with Rob!

[thanks Lauren!]

Christopher Heyerdahl will play Marcus of the Volturi in New Moon. There’s a new interview where Christopher reveals some details on his role–

Heyerdahl—who has worn extensive makeup and prosthetics for some of his roles —said that the makeup required in New Moon to transform him into one of the undead was easy by comparison.

“Yeah, they do their best to suck the life out of you, but certainly nothing compared to any of those past prosthetics,” Heyerdahl said. “From that perspective, it was pretty easy. The looks they are getting in this film are absolutely fantastic. Everyone looks gorgeous and deliciously lifeless.”

He also notes of director Chris Weitz–

“Director Chris Weitz’s version for this piece is like a Renaissance painting. The images were absolutely beautiful, and the character is such a tragic old fellow.”

Check out the rest of the interesting interview at SciFiWire where he talks about how he decided to interpret the character Marcus, and why he chose the role.
