JawBone.TV has a new article discussing how the fans have influenced the production and design for New Moon. In the article they show a screen cap from one of the New Moon trailers. The screen cap was taken from NewMoonMovie.org!

(Source: newmoonmovie.org) When the first trailer was posted a site called newmoonmovie.org (presumbly sanctioned) posted 70 still frames from the trailer. This is a shot of Bella’s House Ext. The Interior and exterior for this place were shot on a location in Portland on the first Twilight movie. For New Moon, we built a matching exterior on a site in Vancouver and built the interior on stage.

Cool!

You can check out the full article here! It’s a pretty good read!

Hurricane Bells’ song ’Monsters’ was featured on the New Moon soundtrack.  Spinner has the music video for ‘Monsters’.   There are no clips from New Moon in the music video.

A supernatural video treatment is fitting for the song, which can be found on the soundtrack for ‘New Moon,’ the second film in the vampire-werewolf world of the ‘Twilight’ series. The track didn’t make it onto the debut Hurricane Bells album, ‘Tonight Is the Ghost,’ but it did come to fruition during the same time period.

“‘Monsters’ was written a while back, along with a batch of songs that later became the Hurricane Bells record,” Schiltz explains. “I liked the combination of the kind of catchy little melody with the more sinister lyrics. I recorded it in 2008 and decided it didn’t fit on ‘Tonight is the Ghost,’ so I left it off, and eventually the ‘Twilight’ folks got a hold of it.”

 The music video does not have Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen strutting across the school parking lot or any New Moon clips. *sigh*  It is still a cute music video and I love the song.

Cah ching!  Twilight Saga’s  Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson made it amongst some heavy hitters in Vanity Fair’s list of  Top Moneymakers of 2009.  Here’s how it’s broken down.

So how do we tote up our final earnings estimates? A few simple ground rules:

In tabulating up-front fees, we assume people get paid when filming starts; thus, only movies that commenced shooting in calendar year 2009 are taken into account. (That’s why we don’t count Brad Pitt’s $10 million fee for Inglourious Basterds, which began shooting in 2008.)

For those lucky enough to earn money on the back end, we did our best to determine whether they were gross-point or net-point players and applied our math accordingly. (Example: Pitt’s fee for Inglourious Basterds was an advance against 9 percent of the gross. With some $160 million in studio revenue, Pitt stood to collect a total of almost $14.5 million, minus his $10 million advance, leaving him with $4.5 million from the film for 2009.)

A star’s participation in DVD sales is taken into account, but that generally is small change, unless he or she is one of the few director-producer types who have negotiated exceptional deals. We have not counted royalties and other revenues when the figure is under $500,000. Nor have we counted money made in television; thus, for a major player in both film and TV such as Jerry Bruckheimer, his total 2009 earnings are millions of dollars higher. Since these numbers are estimates, however well informed, and by definition incomplete, they are presented for entertainment purposes only.

Here’s how much cashola our favorite couple raked in for 2009:

#35 Robert Pattinson

(WME)
Estimated 2009 earnings: $18 million
$7.5 million: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (fee for starring in upcoming third installment of vampire franchise)
$5 million: The Twilight Saga: New Moon (fee for starring in second installment)
$4 million: Remember Me (fee for actually starring in a non-Twilight film)
$1.5 million: New Moon (back end, based on worldwide gross of $661 million)

#37 Kristen Stewart

(Gersh)
Estimated 2009 earnings: $16 million
$7.5 million: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (fee for starring)
$5 million: The Twilight Saga: New Moon (fee for starring)
$2 million: The Runaways(for starring in upcoming Joan Jett biopic)
$1.5 million: New Moon (back end)

Is it me or does it seem like they should’ve made more?  I know I’m bias lol.  It must be rough having your paycheck broadcasted for the world to see.
