Film New Moon

Twilight cast: bits and bites

Saturday – Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson were working in the day, then hooked up with Kristen Stewart and Edi Cathegi for Indian food. Towards the end of their meal, fans approached for photos. They obliged. Then Kristen, Taylor, and Edi hopped in a cab, followed by Pattinson by himself.
It was warm in Vancouver, sooo beautiful, this weekend. So even more fangirls and fanmoms were waiting outside Kristen’s hotel, hoping for a glimpse. For hours they wait. Very dedicated.

Back in LA, Nikki Reed was photographed with her mom and a friend shopping for furniture, hanging out a few days ago after her Juno Awards weekend in Vancouver. Have received many, many messages today pointing out that this black BMW – apparently it’s Rob’s? Ohhhhhh…here comes the hate mail!

Zdjęcia super!. Wszyscy fajnie wyglądają. Krótki tekścik do tychże zdjęć:

Exclusive photos: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart shooting scenes for New Moon together today along with the high school crew and a glimpse of Tayor Lautner too. Looks like they’re doing a much, much better job with the makeup this time around especially Pattinson’s Edward. Very pretty. He is a beautiful, beautiful boy. The hair. The hair is working.

Anyway, about this scene – supposedly in the parking lot of the school and there’s an intimate moment between Bella and Edward. Or something.

Gianna Cast?
Posted by Twilight_News - 09/04/09 at 03:04 pm

According to the IMDB, which has had a lot of incorrect info in regards to New Moon, Justine Wachsberger has been cast as Gianna.

A oto zdjęcie Gianny, czyli recepcjonistki z Volterry, ale to podobno niekoniecznie prawda.

Nowe zdjęcia z wczoraj :)
Zauważcie co trzyma KStew - aparat fotograficzny Wink

Dzięki Bogu dali jej cyfrówkę, a nie jak Meyer zwykły klatkowy Laughing

New Moon Filmed at Tofino for “Swells and Sunset Shots”

April 11 2009

There’s a new article up about why the New Moon crew decided to film in the Tofino area at Pacific Rim Park in March. The wild nature of the area, despite the relative closeness to Vancouver, was a big selling point -

Bannerman, who has family on Vancouver Island, said there was a good reason the filmmakers chose to shoot scenes for New Moon (due Nov. 20) on the rugged West Coast before they started principal photography in Vancouver.

“We knew what we were looking for had to be extreme and close in proximity to Vancouver,” said Bannerman, who came over with a downsized crew.

“We needed those swells and sunset shots, aggressive waves and agitated water in a coastal region that reflects the Forks and La Push (Wash.) area.”

And, in what may be the most incredibly dense logic train I’ve heard in a while, Keven Drews, who wrote the recent story about New Moon filming in Tofino, can’t believe how much traffic his story got–then expresses frustration that other media and fansites “mined” the story -

“Our traffic skyrocketed. We got more readers in a day than we get in a month,” said Drews, who was also contacted by publications as far away as New Jersey. To his frustration, he also saw his story “mined” by other media and fansites.

Ok, I’m not sure what exactly he means by “mined”–but how could he not realize the attention from other media and fansites is exactly why he received more hits in a day for the small-town paper than it usually gets in a month? Why in the world would you care if your news stories was picked up and spread by other media and fansites?

mamy Aro :D

Actor Michael Sheen, who played high-profile roles in The Queen and Frost/Nixon, is set to take on the role of Aro in New Moon, with an estimated £5million payday. This according to the Daily Mail, which says–

Sheen, 40, who made his name with uncannily realistic portrayals of well-known figures in Oscar-winning films The Queen, Frost/Nixon and The Damned United, will get his biggest pay cheque yet, a reported £5million, to star in New Moon.

In New Moon, Sheen will play Aro, the leader of an Italian vampire clan called the Volturi.

Director Chris Weitz confirmed Sheen’s casting to The Mail on Sunday and said he had ‘aggressively’ pursued the actor.

‘Michael’s role is so important because he’s the head of all vampires,’ he said. ‘Aro is, on the surface, a very gracious and friendly vampire, but beneath that he is a tremendous threat.’

Ironically, Michael Sheen previously played the werewolf leader Lucian in Underworld. I think this is great news, given his great work in Frost/Nixon recently!

New Moon Set Pictures: What Can We Learn from Them?

April 13 2009

Now that we’ve seen some pictures from filming on the set of New Moon, what can we learn from them? What about the camera that Kristen Stewart is holding in one photo? -

In New Moon, Bella receives the camera, and it becomes a major part of her tormentous break-up with Edward. Yet, this is a digital camera, and in the book, the camera is not. I’m sure this remediable, since digital photos, too, are erase-able.
Nevertheless, as this is, to fans, a most important scene for The Twilight Saga: New Moon to get right, this photo may give us a reason to believe it shall.
Another, of Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella might make one think they might be in the middle of filming the break-up scene also. The look on Kristen’s face says it all, don’t you think?

New Set Location: Meadow, Forest Area for Bella/Laurent Meetup?

Alex Meraz Talks about Filming New Moon - Shirtless!

Rumor: New Moon and Eclipse Filming Simultaneously?

This is all just speculation at this point, but it’s worth keeping in mind as we see more from the New Moon set. Are Eclipse and New Moon–or at least parts of them–being filmed at the same time? A reader over at TwiCrack sends this in -

One of my best guy friends went out to LA to visit his mom over Easter and he ended up going to Easter dinner with someone who worked on Twilight and is currently working on New Moon. They talked briefly about it, saying that they would film in Italy at the end of May. My friend also said that the crewmember told him that they are currently shooting both the 2nd AND the 3rd. I asked my friend if he meant that they were filming Eclipse right after they finish New Moon, but he said that he was sure they are filming both. It kind of makes sense and it explains why Taylor Lautner was in the parking lot pictures on Lainey Gossip (Jacob shows up at Forks H.S. in Eclipse to confront Edward).

Is Billy Burke Returning to New Moon?

One name was notably absent from yesterday’s official New Moon cast list–Billy Burke, who played Bella’s dad Charlie Swan in Twilight. Is this a sign that he won’t be back for New Moon? Not so fast, says MTV -

Before the rumors spread too far out of hand, however, we’ve got the scoop on some good news for Twilighters.

An inside source has confirmed to MTV that the veteran actor is indeed in the “New Moon” cast, and will be returning as Bella’s father. Despite Billy Burke’s omission from the press release, Kristen Stewart’s family will look exactly the same when they hit theaters everywhere on November 20th.

Newcomer Charlie Bewley to Play Demetri from the Volturi in New Moon

April 15, 2009

Charlie Bewley, a newcomer from California London that lives in Canada, will take on the role of Demetri from the Volturi in New Moon. Not much info is available on the actor, but he definitely seems to have the look for the part! This seems to be a big break for Bewley, as around a month ago he tweeted “please let this be the last time I scandalously flirt with the bread line, dear lord”.

UPDATE: Until we can get some better pics of Charlie, I’ve done some Photoshopping to make the pictures in the background image at his website easier to see. Team Demetri, anyone?

Całkiem przystojny ten Charlie. :D

Daniel Cudmore Will Play Volturi Member Felix in New Moon
April 15, 2009

28-year old Canadian Daniel Cudmore will play Volturi member Felix in New Moon. He previously played the high-profile role of Colossus in the X-Men movies. He’s a colossus in real life, too–standing over 6′5″ tall. What do you think of the casting of Daniel Cudmore as Felix?

Cameron Bright Will be Alec in New Moon

April 15, 2009

16-year Canadian actor Cameron Bright will star alongside his twin sister Jane, played by Dakota Fanning, in New Moon. He has starred in movies such as Godsend, Birth, Running Scared, Ultraviolet, X-Men: The Last Stand and Thank You for Smoking. What do you think of this choice?

Alexandre Desplat, not Carter Burwell, Set to Score New Moon

Carter Burwell, the talent behind the original soundtrack for Twilight, will not be composing the score for New Moon. Instead, Alexandre Desplat, who wrote the soundtrack for New Moon director Chris Weitz’s earlier film The Golden Compass, is most likely at the helm. This news comes from the website of Carter Burwell, stating–

As I understand it, the director of New Moon, Chris Weitz, has hired Alexandre Desplat to composer the music for the film. Desplat composed the music for Weitz’ earlier film The Golden Compass. I don’t know if they’ll use any of my themes from Twilight, such as “Bella’s Lullaby”.

Will Gianna Be Omitted from the New Moon Cast?

In the official New Moon cast announcement, Gianna–the human secretary of the Volturi–was missing from the list. Does this mean that she won’t be appearing in the movie, or is it an oversight? The Twilight Examiner questions this -

Wachsberger, beauty in such films as First Daughter and Sorority Row was long-rumored to be selected for the role, and Summit Entertainment’s press release for New Moon was expected to serve as the final word on its casting. However, the role of Gianna, the Volturi (human) secretary who sits at the desk of the very den of Volterra’s Italian vampire leaders in the Twilight series appears in the book New Moon, and her role in the grand scheme of the Volturi way of things is rather confusing to Bella (played by Kristen Stewart) and un-surprising to Edward (played by Robert Pattinson).

ET New Moon Set Visit - 23 kwietnia będzie reportaż z wizyty na planie

Lainey Gossip serves up a tantalizing new smorgasbord of New Moon gossip, focusing on two shoots that went down this week in the Vancouver area–a scene in the forest, and some scenes at the new Cullen house. Check it:

Monday this week, as I’ve already mentioned, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and Robert Pattinson were all on set by dawn. Very, very early starts to shoot on the edge of the woods. There’s a tense discussion between the three of them, then Taylor/Jacob leaves and wolf-transforms, then between KS and RP it gets kinda romantic as there’s talk of a wedding. Or something. They are shooting several options for a proposal, this is one of them – you’ll have to wait to see which they end up choosing.

Wednesday night and Thursday night it’s been evening shoots at the Cullen House, working until almost daybreak for all vampires and Kristen Stewart. More of the same tonight (Friday).

Christian Serratos is Finished with New Moon Filming

The New Moon filming is moving along at a rapid pace–as witnessed by a new post by Christian Serratos, where she reveals that her scenes are already finished! -

I am finished filming New Moon. It was great to see everyone one again!

Chris Weitz was great! I can’t believe that I have been so fortunate to have worked with such talented people in such a short time. Stephenie, Catherine, Chris and more. I am so grateful! This time around I felt more comfortable letting the team know that when I was dressed as Angela, I and Angela would prefer to be dressed animal cruelty free and they obliged. They were awesome! I’m so thankful that they went out of there way to find items that did not have animal products in them. It was touching.

Christian arrived in Vancouver just 12 days ago on April 6th. She also mentions working on a new promo clip for PETA in the blog, which can be viewed online.

Vampires Are Done Filming?
By Twilight_News |

It seems like Kellan Lutz made an off-handed comment that might indicate that the vampires will be done filming in Vancouver shortly. Given that the majority of the Cullens are only present in the very beginning and the very end of the novel, the story seems probable. Given the re-arrival of Edi Gathegi and Rachelle Lefevere and since Cristian Serratos on her blog confirmed that the humans are also done filming, it looks like filming is clipping along at a productive and efficient pace. Also, since New Moon has a lot more interiors than Twilight, and the vampires are less in it, its far less weather dependent.

This also means that they are free for other projects such as PR appearances at film festivals, or shooting schedules of other features.

See Robessed for the details pulled together from several sources.
