TwiCrack recently blogged asking their readers what they are going to wear when they go and watch New Moon.

Since its been a kinda slow news day, I thought I may bring it up to our NewMoonMovie.org readers! Are any of you going to dress up as some of the Twilight Saga characters? If so, who? Anything in particular you plan on wearing?

The picture attached to this post is a pic I took a few months back of my Billabong Hannah Jacket (Will previously posted it). Which I totally plan on wearing it to the New Moon opening! Along w/ skinny jeans, converse sneakers (LMAO), and my “Vampires Prefer Brunettes” t-shirt OR my Team Edward shirt (if my BFF gets it to me in time!!)

How early do you guys plan on going to the movie and waiting in line? I wanna show up those HP fans. I plan on being there when the mall opens – 10am!

During filming of New Moon in Vancouver, various Fan Sites had the opportunity to visit the set and interview Wyck Godfrey. Wyck produced both Twilight and New Moon. In the interview he discusses many different subjects from reconstructing Bella’s house to the final scenes they shot -

[Fansites quickly ask how Chris Weitz is doing]

Wyck: [Chris Weitz] has an ability to really communicate his ideas very calmly and cleanly-and I think they all just love it…. That’s going to be one big thing for the fans, being like “Oh my Gosh, I had no idea!” None of you were here ever in Portland when we shot Bella’s house, right? (No) We completely built the exact replica.

Fansites: I know, it’s beautiful! How long did it take to build?

Wyck: Hmm, I don’t know, I think we got it up in like…well first of all what we did was we built it all in the studio lot,… and then took it apart in walls and moved it. Yeah, so the building process there was like maybe month of really getting it right. Then getting it up here was like, a week. The landscaping actually was, oddly enough, the thing that takes a lot of time. Trying to get the grass right, and finding the trees, you know? The appropriate trees…

Fansites: You’ve already shot the end?

Wyck: Yeah. We haven’t shot the Italian stuff, we’ve shot when they come back, and the part with Jacob in the road and he reminds Edward of the treaty, and her. She basically has to say,”We had a great time, but Edward’s back, you know.”

Fansites: So are you paying for Kristen’s therapy after all this?

Fansites: [laughs] She’s got to be destroyed or exhausted after the end of each day.

Wyck: Yeah, I mean that’s the thing people forget, she shoots every day. Usually in a movie, you shoot a few scenes, you get a couple days off. I mean, she has such amazing tenacity and professionalism in terms of sticking with showing up every day ready for the next scene. Well, finally, in Breaking Dawn, we have a chunk that’s in Jacob’s point of view, so she might get a break! When you write a book series from one character’s point of view, so subjectively, it’s pretty much nothing that takes place on screen that she’s not a part of.

Fansites: What’s been the most challenging thing so far?

Wyck: The most challenging thing so far, has probably been the meadow scene with Laurent. You know, with the wolves attacking. Part of what made it challenging, was to find…I mean actually what we didn’t really find in the first film, which is the meadow that is what everybody thought of when they read the books. I mean honestly, we went like an hour and a half out of town, it’s right at the foothills of the mountain, and literally we are walking through the woods, and you come to this perfectly round meadow, and we are like, “Oh my gosh, this is it!” I mean the problem was that last year we had a meadow but it was still under snow cover at the end of the shoot. So we had to scramble to find a place. Also, we shot that scene with all the mossy trees and rocks with all the moss that wasn’t really the meadow. Then we had the meadow scene in LA. (Laughs) It was awkward! The reason that it was challenging from the production stand point is that we shot the scene over the course of like three days, and one day it was perfect kind of overcast, you know, weather, and the next day it snowed four inches!

So we were like, okay, we’ve got to go inside and shoot something here. Then finally, the snow finally melted, we had like heaters out there melting the snow, so we could shoot the second half of the scene and match it from the other day. Then it’s just hard like, technically hard, because we’ve got CG characters. Laurent’s got to go like, “Oh my gosh, there’s nothing! There’s a green ball and it’s coming after me!” I think that’s been the most challenging, is the coordination with the CG wolves with Laurent, and you know, he’s still got to move like a vampire and all that, so it was pretty complicated. It was also far out in the middle of nowhere, so it wasn’t like, “Here, you can step off onto the road with your equipment.” You’re like, hauling everything through mud and trying to get out there.

The interview is very detailed and definitely worth reading! You can check out the rest here!

[Thanks TSH!]

There’s a new interview with human pal Michael Welch from New Moon at Buzznet. They asked him some questions on the minds of fans, including–

Jolene Tangerine: What do you think would be your vampire power if you had one?

Michael Welch: Well that depends. Can I create a new power or do I have to choose one that already exists? If I could make my own, I would either want to fly or shoot lasers out of my eyes! Oh yeah. If I had to pick one that already exists, I would either want to see into the future like Alice or be a BA tracker like James. I know I’m not supposed to, but I love James.

SydneyAlex: How much like Mike are you? Hopeless romantic?

Michael Welch: Oh yeah, very much so. Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies if that’s any indication. The fulfillment of love is more important than the excitement of fling.

Check it all out at Buzznet.

In case you missed it yesterday while digging around EW’s New Moon photoshoot featuring Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart, here are three videos of the shot taking place.

Also, some of the interview and article itself is online, including this chioce bit from Kristen–

Stewart can be a pretty serious bookworm herself. At this point, she may know Bella as well as Meyer does, and, like many on the set, she won’t let anything, not a director nor a script, trample on the author’s original intentions. ”We definitely feel protective of the series,” says the actress, who has no problem stopping a scene if a note rings false. ”The directors are interchangeable, so while it’s exciting to have new opinions, at the same time it’s like, ‘Look, this has way more to do with what we have already created.”’

Two more vids after the break.
