The Sun Sentinel has an excellent peek behind-the-scenes on the set of New Moon while it filmed in Vancouver, including the first reports of the action on the soundstages that included the interior shots for the Volturi–[spoilers ahoy!]

Many hours have been spent waiting for the sun to emerge from Vancouver’s perpetual cloud bank. Weitz and his team have been trying to film one of the few outdoor sequences that require bright natural light, but because the notoriously difficult British Columbian climate has refused to cooperate, the “New Moon” cast and crew are about to spend the better part of a 12-hour day inside the elaborate fiction of an Italianate marble hall complete with columns and engravings in Latin.

Today, that vampire ruling council is ruminating over the fate of Edward and Bella. Walking forward with his arms extended, Aro, played by British actor Michael Sheen, sporting blood-red contact lenses, offers a vaguely sinister greeting to his reluctant guests. The scene is replayed over and over, with Pattinson at one point leaving the set to consult with Weitz about a particular line of dialogue.

Standing by the monitors, the pair run through a number of options, while Stewart sits on the floor looking a little bored as she waits for the cameras to resume rolling. After several minutes, Pattinson, wearing a long, red robe and fake bruises painted beneath his eyes, returns to his mark, and filming resumes.

Also note that the article reveals what will be shown at Comic-Con: an action scene with intense digital effects and a love scene!

Read the entire article over at the Sun-Sentinel.

There’s a fantastic new interview with New Moon main wolf Taylor Lautner for Interview Magazine with some very stylish shots of Taylor.

MARTIN: What does it mean to turn into a werewolf?

LAUTNER: I think the most important thing with Jacob is that pre-transformation, he’s clumsy. He trips over his own feet. As soon as he transforms, he’s very agile. At one point, he flings himself through Bella’s window and lands at her feet, and that’s the first time Bella realizes this is a new Jacob: He never used to be this agile. I loved bringing out that side of him. The bummer is, when he becomes a wolf, that’s not actually me. When he does the cool fight scenes, he’s transformed into CGI.

Check out the above video, and read the text at Interview Magazine and see some more photos as well.

Alos, JustJared has the behind-the-scenes shots from June when Taylor did the photoshoot.

New Moon star Ashley Greene looked her summer best in a blue floral-print dress at a Cosmopolitan Magazine Party at the W Hotel in Los Angeles . RadarOnline says of her wardrobe–

Ashley Greene owned her place as the most stylish Twilight-er, donning an off-the-shoulder floral print Max Azria mini-dress that will retails for $158 — hitting stores this December. Aside from the fuchsia Sergio Rossi clutch, Greene accessorized the busy frock minimally and appropriately.
