MTV has an interesting article in regards to a survey that Fandango has for users to fill out when purchasing their New Moon tickets.  They recently caught up with Fandango spokesperson Harry Medved. Here is what he had to say about the survey conducted -

2,500 recent “New Moon” ticket-buyers surveyed, an astounding 96 percent had read the novel — and 94 percent had read the entire series. But the tale gets even more interesting when you realize that 68 percent of the ticket-buyers weren’t aware of the “Twilight” franchise until the first film was released in November 2008. So, in essence, only 32 percent of the fans who have bought “New Moon” tickets have been “Twilight” fans for longer than 12 months.The next question on the survey (which would pop up after a fan purchased a “New Moon” ticket on Fandango) revolved around series newcomer Chris Weitz, who initially faced harsh criticism from the fanbase when he was chosen to replace “Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke. Asked if they had faith the “Golden Compass” filmmaker would do a good job with “New Moon,” 95 percent of Twilighters answered positively.

A big part of that turnaround, it would seem, is the commonly held belief among Twilighters that Weitz will do a better job with the action scenes than his predecessor would have. Indeed, 93 percent of all buyers had watched the “New Moon” trailers online, with 77 percent saying the action scenes were a main draw and 98 percent (!) saying the action glimpsed in “New Moon” looked better than “Twilight.”

Fifty-three percent of Twilighters surveyed plan to see the first “New Moon” show at midnight; 26 percent will see it at a different time opening day; and 21 percent will see it during opening week or thereafter. Out of that crowd, 79 percent are making plans to bring three or more friends.

Lastly, Fandango even has stats on the Team Edward vs. Team Jacob rivalry — and, well, it’s not looking pretty for Taylor Lautner. Although “New Moon” will feature far more screen time for Jacob Black, only 17 percent of ticket-buyers said they’d choose him, while 83 percent are Team Edward.

“I’m personally bummed that Jacob doesn’t get more respect from the fans,” Medved laughed. “He’s a nice guy, and he deserves better.”

USA Weekend has an awesome new article about Our Love Affair With Vampires. In the article they detail on the Vampire Craze over the years.

Oh, did I forget to mention that they also have a new interview with Robert Pattinson? Check out the interview below  -

To get a modern image of a vampire, Pattinson initially watched movies such as “Interview With the Vampire” and “Blade.” But he really discovered who Edward was by researching outcast roles not involving the undead. “Rebel Without a Cause was a big influence on the first ["Twilight" film] — it influenced the hairdo and stuff,” Pattinson says, laughing. “In lots of ways, it has a very similar character arc: An everyday girl brings this relatively strange individual out of his slump.”

A James Dean type — that is, Pattinson — always attracts teenage girls in flocks. “It’s like The Birds, with teenage girls,” says “New Moon” director Chris Weitz. “You turn around, and there would be a line of girls standing there.”

Pattinson, 23, a native of London, takes all the swooning over his lanky, 6-foot-tall frame and wildly styled hair in stride. “I’m not entirely sure what it is,” he says. “I’ll probably realize afterward how I could have controlled it a little bit more. But I am still like a deer in headlights.”

And there’s the fact that many haven’t yet separated Pattinson the actor from Edward the vampire. “Right at the beginning, everyone just called me Edward,” he says. “I don’t really mind either way. There’s something about that character that, for some reason, has sparked an interest in massive degrees in so many different people.

“If you want to compete with your own character, you have to really fight. I don’t know if I could be bothered to fight,” he says, chuckling again. “I just let it go by.”

Swedish car manufacturer Volvo has begun a new ad campaign centered around New Moon, as Volvo is the the brand of choice of Edward Cullen in the books and movies.

Volvo is advertising the XC60 SUV in coordination with the movie, where the car will appear as Edward’s ride–a change from the smaller Volvo C30 coupe featured in Twilight.

What about you–will these ads convince you to become a “Stupid shiny Volvo owner”?

[Volvo, thanks xX-ashie-Xx!]

Yet another great scene from new Moon has hit the internet, and it shows a very tense confrontation in thee chambers of the Volturi while they decide what to do with Bella.

This movie is looking more and more amazing–but I’m worried I’ll see too much of it before it comes out!
