Here’s an AWESOME fan encounter with one of our newmoonmovie.org readers at the New Moon premiere in Los Angeles last November!
I just thought I’d share these photos with you, my name is Emma from Australia and I won a competition to the premiere of New Moon in LA back in November. I took my good friend Kathryn (who is also a huge Twilight fan) and we got to go to the after-party and managed to get some awesome pics with some of the cast. I couldn’t get over how lovely and down-to-earth they all were and very willing to have fan pics with us! Nikki Reid and Anna Kendrick were especially lovely, spending the time to talk to us and answer our questions (which I’m sure they have heard thousands of times before!).
We got to meet more of the cast in the actual movie theatre, including Robert Pattinson *swoon* who was just as gorgeous in person as he looks on camera. It was honesty the best night of my life and it still feels like a dream but I’m so glad I got the opportunity and also got to meet so many other Twilight fans that will be friends for life.
Congratulations Emma!! Lucky lady! That is amazing. Great pictures! I just love our Twilight cast.
Thank you Emma for sharing your story and pictures with us!
Check out the rest of Emma’s pictures after the break!
Charlie Bewley (aka Demetri) ran in the Youth Run For Haiti on Saturday, January 23rd in Santa Monica, CA. Josh Duhamel organized Youth Run For Haiti with the American Red Cross for the Haitian earthquake relief efforts.
Malicious Mandy has yet another awesome summary of a Q & A session during the Seattle Twilight Convention. This time it is with New Moon-ers Charlie Bewley and Daniel Cudmore -
Wolf Pack vs Cullen’s – Dan would rather be Wolf Pack, run shirtless through the forests. Vampires wear running shoes and he jokes about pumping them up “pump pump pump – oops too much swoosh” (old school pump shoes for those of you lost)
They say as Volturi they are just doing what vampires do, drink blood…. not like the “Vegan-Facinelli-Rubbish” He wouldn’t want to go hunt deer in Italian gear… unless it was Nike Tracksuits, like a Volturi mafia.
Eclipse Fight Scene was approximately 5 days rehearsing and 5 days filming 12 hour days.
Daniel would like Edward’s Hair, he pokes fun of his hair and points to the banner. He and Charlie banter about hair.
Daniel would love to be any character that meant he could work with Will Ferrell, though he thinks it would be hard because he would just laugh the whole time. Charlie would love to play a character that was really deep and emotional… or a spin-off about Demetri.
Daniel wears contacts already so the Volturi ones weren’t too much trouble, he hates contacts as a whole but wears them everyday. Charlie felt he was instantly dangerous with them on, just like sweet innocent Dakota Fanning.
Audition process was very fast. Charlie had tried for Marcus also. Daniel had recently lost out to a few roles and had actually auditioned for the “motorcycle guy Bella rides with in Port Angeles” and didn’t even know if he could make it back for the call-back because of a job he was doing but managed to go in thinking he’d be a biker and was actually cast as a vampire and thought “wait – what?” cool!
Charlie said it was flattering that the Cullen’s wanted to kill him more than any other Volturi and he also discussed how when he auditioned he had almost no hair so he took one little piece and swirled it down, like the old school vampires had the “peak” and he thinks that may have influenced his hair style for the movie. Personally, I adored the hair he was sporting at TwiCon. Rawr.
For open questions in the end they walked around the crowd. Charlie also acted as Demetri and pretend choked Hillywood Alice. Daniel spoke at the podium for fun and they lounged on the stage.

The world became a little less brighter yesterday when we learned sadly that actress Brittany Murphy passed away at the young age of 32. For those of you who may not know who she is, she starred in various movies such as: Clueless, 8 Mile, Just Married (one of my all time fav movies), Riding in Cars With Boys, Up Town Girls, the list goes on!
Various Twilight Saga stars spoke out about the sudden death of Brittany via twitter -
New Moon-er Dakota Fanning (aka Jane) also spoke out about her Uptown Girls fellow cast member’s death -
My thoughts go out to her family & friends. I am just very grateful that I had the chance to work with her.
I truly thought Brittany was a great actress and enjoyed every movie she was ever in. Such sad news! The cause if death has yet to be determined. Various theories are out there via Gossip Rags. However, I choose not to believe anything until the Coroner’s office makes their official statement.
Today the world lost a little piece of sunshine ~ Ashton Kutcher
RIP Brittany Murphy – November 10, 1977 – December 20th, 2009.

We have another awesome fan write up from, this time from JacobIsMyHerion who attended the Twilight Convention in Chicago (2-4 Oct) with I Love Wolves, RIMR_ and WolfPackChick.
Here is what JIMH had to say:
I Love Wolves, RIMR_, WolfPackChick, and JacobIsMyHeroin (me!) met up from all corners of the country to attend Twi Con in Chicago last weekend. We are all avid NMM.org and EM.org fans, this is where we all first met and became friends! None of us had ever met anyone from the site in real life before, but we took a chance and decided to go on this crazy adventure together. It turned out so great; we had an amazing weekend and wanted to share our experience with everyone.
Charlie Bewley talks about playing Demetri in New Moon and also gives a take on the members of the Volturi.
He talks about filming in Italy:
“Italy was a dream. Very surreal. I think everyone there, no matter who it was, Rob [Pattinson], Kristen [Stewart], [director] Chris [Weitz] or anyone else would say that it was an experience that they may never go through again. The hospitality of the whole thing, the way they treated us, the whole setting was so magnificent.
He also talks about how he see the character of Demetri:
“[Demetri] has a lot of misplaced energy, or a lot of unused energy, and that kind of manifests in his behavior…..I did the whole animal thing, and I just worked out that he was this killer housecat – just in the way he is and his attention is fairly ADD….. He just wants to run or chase. But he’s very kind of confined within this sort of mafioso arrangement that the Volturi coven is.”
More after the break on his take on his Volturi family…
