New Moon will be showing up early in, of all places, Knoxville TN.

The dawn of a new “Twilight” will bring star power to Knoxville this November when “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” the sequel to the 2008 breakout film “Twilight,” is premiered at Regal Cinemas’ Pinnacle 18 at Turkey Creek in advance of its scheduled Nov. 20 release.

Although confirmation of the Knoxville premiere of the movie is set, several key details are yet to be determined, including ticket prices, just which star or stars of the movie will come to town, and even the date of the event.

“I’m hoping to have the details pinned down within 30 to 60 days,” said Greg Dunn, chief operating officer of Regal Entertainment Group.

UPDATE: A reader sends in this info from a pre-recorded greetting to those looking for more info:

• You cannot purchase tickets online or have them mailed. You have to buy them in person which is lame.
• Tickets won’t be going on sale until September.
• It’s a movie screening for Charity.

According to Ashley Greene, Breaking Dawn will be filming soon after Eclipse–

“We’re going to start right after Eclipse,” says Ash.

So will we see any repeat directors for the fourth film?

“I don’t think so,” says Ms. Greene. “[Eclipse director] David [Slade] and [New Moon director] Chris [Weitz] will both be busy in postproduction, and Catherine [Hardwicke] will be doing Hamlet.”

It doesn’t come as much a surprise that they’ll be pumping out the series as fast as they can make ‘em, but it’s still great to get confirmation. Read more about Breaking Dawn at E!

New Moon hunk Kelllan Lutz has a new photoshoot for Social Life Magazine, for which he’ll be hosting a July 4th Party. OK Magazine has a new interview with Kellan along with some new pics from the shoot–

What is your typical day like on the set of New Moon, the sequel to Twilight?

New Moon was a very relaxed film to work on and it all starts with how easy going director Chris Wietz is. That vibe rolls down to the crew and actors. It makes it so easy when we’ve all worked together before. Everything was so well organized, making it easy for the actors to do our job. We had more time to just laugh and make jokes and hang out; it’s important to have a cast that gels the way we do and you’ll see that more in the second film.

The entire cast of Twilight and New Moon has gone from Hollywood new faces to overnight international sensations – has that been a bonding experience for all of you?

It’s amazing what Twilight has done for the cast! It has opened up so many doors for us all. It is such a blessing to be a part of the phenomenon that is Twilight. It’s a dream come true! We are all very close and stay close on set as well as off. We play board games, go out to dinner and just hang out. It’s amazing to be able to work with such a talented group of actors.

You do not F with Chuck Norris. Unless, of course you are Robert Pattinson–New Moon actor Michael Welch starred with Norris on an episode of Texas Walker Ranger, so he’s qualified to decide: Chuck Norris or Robert Pattison?

Who smells better? “Robert Pattinson…he smells like heaven.”

Who has a better beard? “You gotta go Chuck Norris with the beard. Nothing beats that thing.”

Who looks better in tight jeans? “That becomes a matter of taste at that point because you can’t beat Walker in a tight pair of pants, but Rob… I guess I gotta go with Rob [laughs].”
