We previously reported that some locations in the US are already selling advanced tickets to Midnight New Moon showings. According to Reuters.com a lot of those locations are selling out already -

Advanced tickets sales for Summit Entertainment’s sequel vampire romance “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” are going so well that online ticket vendors are reporting sellouts of the earliest showtimes at many locations. Nine weeks before the film’s November 20 release, MovieTickets is reporting more than a dozen “New Moon” performances as complete sellouts.

A Fandango spokesman said “New Moon” represents 57 percent of its recent ticket sales, with sellouts at some locations. By comparison, the coming weekend’s anticipated No. 1 picture — Sony’s 3D animated feature “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” — is the next most popular choice of purchasers at 9 percent of all Fandango sales.

Wow! To be honest, I’m really not surprised! Haven’t heard of tickets going on sale yet any where else. Anyone hear of any locations in Canada yet? Or in the UK? Any where else at all? If so, send them to the TwiTipLine at gmail dot com!

First we seen Nighttime Romeo’s Wig and now you can be Alice Cullen for Halloween! Not exactly something Alice would wear. However, I don’t think anyone BUT Stephenie Meyer could get that right!

The costume is available from Hot Topic. Here is their description -

When you look into the future, what do you see? Why… it’s you… dressed as Alice this All Hallows’ Eve! To start your transformation, pick up Tripp’s Black Lace Cap Sleeve Corset Top. Black Pull-On Jeans are the next step in your transformation from human to vamp. Oh, and Alice would just love these Black Double Strap Mary Janes, so don’t forget those. Now go save Bella before you’re late to the Halloween party!

Oh.My.Alice.

If you would like to have your own Alice costume – order it here!

[Thanks, Ashley!]

The Twilight Parents Examiner has an exclusive interview with the director of How To Be, Oliver Irving. How To Be stars New Moon-er Robert Pattinson as a young man named Art who has basically lost his way, and finds hope through a ’self-help’ book. In the interview Oliver Irving has this to say about Robert Pattinson -

How was Robert Pattinson chosen for the role of Art? Did his musical ability play a role in his casting?
We found him after a year and a half’s worth of casting calls. He just seemed the right person for the job. He was interesting to look at – but down to earth enough to play the part. He really seemed to “get it” – he knew people like the characters in the script, and understood the main character ‘ART’. Not having gone through drama school, Rob’s acting and response to direction fit in well with other main cast members who were not trained actors either. Rob actually underplayed his musical ability in the auditions, as he knew the character was meant to be rough around the edges when it comes to musical ability – but it actually was invaluable in the end that he understood the music references and had the technical ability to pull off what we were asking from him.

How much of the film tour’s success do you attribute to Pattinson?
A massive amount – he brought a huge audience to our film which is all you can ask of a lead star. I think also the amount of festivals we had played up until that point and the strength of support from our fans really made it all possible.

Were you familiar with Rob, or had you heard of him before he was cast?
No – he told me he was in a Harry Potter movie but made it seem like a small part. After the first audition I was sure he could be good, so checked him out online and realized he had a huge fan base already. Another call back or two to doubly make sure we had our man, and we were set.

The New York Times has an article up about the soundtrack for New Moon, highlighting the huge sales of the original soundtrack for Twilight.   

How will the soundtracks differ? Music Superviser Alexandra Patsavas says–

The first soundtrack had a loud, full-throttle sound in artists like Paramore and Linkin Park, but the songs on “New Moon” have a soft, melancholy touch.

“This is a much more somber movie than ‘Twilight,’ ” Ms. Patsavas said. “There is a lot of love lost, so the artists that are going to make up the soundtrack reflect that longing — a lot of acoustic instruments, a lot of a cappella singing. This soundtrack definitely feels a bit more indie than the last one.”
