MTV’s New Moon Clip: Bella’s Birthday
October 31st, 2009 admin Vanity Fair Interviews Kellan Lutz
October 31st, 2009 admin 
It’s getting closer and closer to the release of Twilight: New Moon, and VF.com is eager to keep you abreast of all things vampire for the next few weeks. After interviewing Peter Facinelli (who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen), I recently spoke to another member of the Cullen coven, Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen), while he was on the set of the next film in the saga, Eclipse, in Vancouver. As he was preparing to shoot a climatic Cullen-family-get-together, he discussed the cast’s love of reading, what’ll make it on the blooper reel, and his part in the upcoming remake of horror classic A Nightmare on Elm Street.
You’re currently on a break. What do you usually love to do on your downtime?
I love to read. I have a Kindle, and it’s nice to be able to download books that people refer. Rob[ert Pattinson] reads all of the time and he refers so many great books, Jackson [Rathbone], as well, and Kristen [Stewart]. It’s nice to just download books because we have so much downtime. I have close to eight hours a day to read. I finish so many books it’s amazing. I’m also doing Rosetta Stone, learning some French.
What books are you reading?
Right now, Letters from the Earth by Mark Twain. Also Jessica Bendinger, I did a movie with her called Stick It—she’s the director—and she wrote her first novel, The Seven Rays. I have an advanced copy and it’s amazing.
What books have your cast members recommended to you that you would recommend to others?
[Addressing Jackson Rathbone, who is also in the room:] Jackson, what’s that book that you recommended? Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis, which I’m going to read next. Jackson’s reading my Kindle right now; I’m passing along Letters from the Earth.
What’s the one thing that has changed in your life since Twilight came out?
I’ve never been so busy in my life. I’ve never gotten my frequent flyer miles so high that I feel like I can travel around the world for free. I’ve been on a plane every weekend trying to come back to L.A. to see my dog. I feel like I’ve been so blessed to be working, but everything I shoot is out of L.A., so I don’t really have too much time to spend with my number one love: my puppy. (She’s not really a puppy—she’s five—but she’s close to my heart.) We have so much press stuff that we get to do—I love doing the conventions and meeting the fans. November’s going to be pretty crazy, what with being on a plane every day, landing, appearances, flying to another city that night … It’s a roller coaster.
How do you guys cope with all of this?
We all have our passions that we enjoy. Rob and Jackson will bring their guitars everywhere. As long as you have that passion where you can just disappear and be normal, feel normal, bring your iPod or favorite books, and just do the things that you would do when Twilight wasn’t around—that’s all keeping us who we are. We’re all really blessed, and we’re humble and down to earth, anyway.
Do you find that as a cast you’re leaning on each other even more?
Yeah, definitely. It’s one of those things where we kind of are this family, especially going through all this. We’re all going on this insane adventure and fantasy as an actor with Twilight, and it’s nice to do it with someone. We’re all friends, which is nice, so we can all go out to dinner, have a great time, relax, play games, go out to concerts. Kings of Leon have been up here, Jason Mraz … It’s nice to disappear and do stuff together. All of our friends are back home, and we try to have our friends come up here and hang out. But realistically it’s kind of tough to do that, so it’s nice to have the cast members to count on. That’s the great thing about this franchise—we hopefully get to look forward to making all of the books, so you never have to really say goodbye [to each other] like you do with other projects. You get to say, “See you soon,” or, “See you in L.A.” We get to pick up where we left off.
How do the Cullens rev each other up before shooting a scene?
We really have everything down. We dissect it through rehearsals before we go about it. When we’re on set, we kind of joke around, and when we’re rehearsing, we change up the scenes and make each other laugh. We lighten up the mood. The blooper reel is going to be amazing on New Moon.
Is there going to be a blooper reel?
Hopefully. They probably have more material for the blooper reel than they have movie material. (Laughs)
What scenes have been the most fun to shoot?
Well, the scenes that the Cullens are in are very crucial and epic. The scenes in New Moon are very close to the book. What we Cullens deal with—like the birthday scene—are very crucial for the audience; they’re going to be there with us. They’re all my favorites, but particularly Jackson, when he turns bloodthirsty in the birthday scene.
Have you seen New Moon yet?
Yeah, I love it. Chris Weitz did an amazing job, and I love the werewolves. There’s so much action, and I’m an action junkie, so the wolves really do a great job. Taylor [Lautner] is amazing. He’s a movie star. Fans are going to see this over and over again because of what he brings to the movie.
What’s your take on the millions of fans who are getting rabidly excited about the release?
It’s really fun to be these characters, bring them to life, and have them [the fans] accept us. It’s very humbling to have fans that spend so much money to come and see us, which is great to give them a piece of what they’re allowing us to do. We’re so blessed that our fans are so loving. It’s fun talking to them about how they relate to characters in the story. My sister and my mom, for instance—it’s great to see how these books really draw mothers and daughters together. It’s an adventure they can all go on. Then they bring the husbands, and the brothers, and everyone gets swooped up into this magical experience.
Are your mom and sister big fans of the saga?
Very much. My sister is one of the most popular girls in school now because she has a brother in Twilight (laughs), and she’s sharing stories about me, which are kind of funny. It’s really an actor’s dream to be a part of this. It’s opened up a lot of doors.
In regards to your career, you just did the remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street. What was that like?
I looooove that movie. I was just excited to be a part of it. It’s Freddy! it’s one of those characters that frightened me growing up. Jason [from Friday the 13th] didn’t really scare me; Chucky [from Child’s Play] didn’t scare me. But there’s something about Freddy. It’s more of a psychological thriller.
Is the new one going to take it to a different level?
Definitely. It’s great that all of these movies are coming back. For my generation—ten years ago when this came out—it was really scary. I think everything has to step it up to the tenth degree to scare the new generation because there’s all this gore, now. You have the Saw movies, all of these twisted movies that are done to scare you. Now you have Paranormal Activity—these new types of scary movies—and they have to push the limit so you can actually feel the fear. That’s what A Nightmare on Elm Street is going to do. It’s a cool remake of the story, with great actors, directors, and producers …
And Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy, which is awesome.
Jackie’s such a nice guy. It’s an honor to work with him, too. I’ve been a big fan of his for a while.
So, before you go, let’s do some wordplay. I’m going to give you the name of one of your fellow actors, and I need you to give me one word to describe them, starting with Jackson Rathbone [“Jasper Hale”].
Ah, mysterious.
Nikki Reed [“Rosalie Hale”].
Spicy.
Elizabeth Reaser [“Esme Cullen”].
Beautiful.
Peter Facinelli [“Dr. Carlisle Cullen”].
Jokester.
Do you want to guess what word Peter chose for you?
Meathead. Something to do with working out or playing jokes.
He chose “goofy.”
Goofy. (Laughs)
Ok, Ashley Greene [“Alice Cullen”].
Best friend.
Kristen Stewart [“Bella Swan”].
Adventurous.
Taylor Lautner [“Jacob Black”].
Brother-like.
Rob Pattinson [“Edward Cullen”].
Immensely blessed and talented. If you can just hyphen those into one word.
Taylor Lautner’s Favorite Movie

October 30th, 2009 admin CONFIRMED: New Moon’s Taylor Lautner to go Jay Talking
October 30th, 2009 admin The days before “New Moon” is released are getting awfully packed with promotional appearances by its principal cast members. Gossip Cop can add another big one to the list.
Gossip Cop has just confirmed Taylor Lautner will be a guest on “The Jay Leno Show” on November 16, which will tape just a few hours before the world premiere of “New Moon” in Los Angeles.
So for those of you keeping tabs on Jacob, here’s what we know about his week:
November 16 – “The Jay Leno Show” and the world premiere of “New Moon” in Los Angeles
November 17 – special Knoxville, TN charity screening
And then in New York, of course, Lautner’s got “The Today Show” on November 20 and “Live with Regis and Kelly.” He’ll also appear the night the movie opens on a pre-taped “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
‘Ulalume: Howling at New Moon’ Showcases ‘Twilight’ Stars, New Clip
October 30th, 2009 admin Last year, MTV News celebrated the opening of “Twilight” with a now-legendary blowout, taping a TV special called “Spoilers” that had the entire cast in attendance mingling with their most die-hard fans. Well, it’s autumn once again, and MTV has another yummy goody for “Twilight” trick-or-treaters.
On Friday (October 30) at 9 p.m. ET, MTV will air the one-hour TV special “Ulalume: Howling at New Moon.” Premiering the day before Halloween, the special will feature “Twilight Saga” stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz and more. But, most significantly for Stephenie Meyer’s loyal army of followers, the special will debut a brand-new clip from November 20′s “New Moon.”
For those who haven’t been keeping up on their 19th-century Romantic poetry, “Ulalume” was the title of a macabre poem written in 1847 by Edgar Allen Poe. It focused on the narrator’s loss of a beautiful woman — which seems only appropriate since much of “New Moon” revolves around Bella’s separation from Edward, an old romantic who could very well similarly describe himself as possessing a “volcanic” heart.
But before you go thinking we’re gonna get all “Masterpiece Theater” on you, know that “L.A. Ink” star Kat Von D is hosting the event from MTV’s Ulalume Festival, and it will feature performances from Paramore, AFI, Dead by Sunrise and Kid Cudi.
The festivities will kick off Friday night with “Twilight” stars Kellan Lutz and Nikki Reed, who will be addressing fans as they explore one of the most feared haunted houses in North America. Then, the show will get tastier than a bagful of Butterfingers when Ashley Greene dishes exclusive scoop on some of the biggest rumors that have surrounded the “Twilight” cast over the past few months as they’ve been shooting their sequels. In addition, RPattz, KStew and Taycob will appear to introduce the exclusive, sneak-peek clip from Summit Entertainment that we’re currently guarding in a steel vault, surrounded by a team of hungry werewolves and bloodthirsty vampires.
The show will also air on MTV2 at 10 p.m. ET and on mtvU, MTV’s 24-hour college network, at 11 p.m. ET.
Charlie Bewley: Glamour Magazine Interview (Part 1 & 2)
October 30th, 2009 admin Glamour Magazine
Were you a Twilight fan before you were cast in New Moon?
I wasn’t a Twilight fan. I just couldn’t get over that whole alpha male-ism that there might be a better-looking person out there in the world but me. (LAUGHS)
What was it about the part of Demetri that part that attracted you?
With Demetri, I knew that I could bring something to this character that no one else could; a certain energy and flare and charisma that I could really bring to him and make my own.
How was it coming into the cast for the second movie as an outsider?
A lot of people misquoted me when I said that it was difficult to come into a group of actors like that and they thought that the whole Hollywood cliché was the problem, but what it is is that with Twilight you have a phenomenon that’s only a year old and everyone has gone through it together; the staple six or eight characters in this film have gone through this massive amount of attention from the world and they have had to bond; they’ve had no choice, whether they liked each other from the start or not. And for people to come onto the set on such a high profile film and expect to just walk in and start high-fiving, that’s just not logical and human nature, and it does take two or three days for people to adjust to someone’s personality and sense of humour, etc.
Have any of the other cast-mates given you advice on how to deal with the hype, because Robert Pattinson especially has a lot to deal with?
I think Rob is dealing with it very, very well. I mean given the fact that he is the most photographed person in the world and that he can’t leave his front door. I mean when I speak to Rob, he doesn’t seem like he’s changed too much from when I first met him or from what I’ve seen of him in interviews before that. He’s still a very grounded person, someone who massively enjoys what he’s doing and an avid musician so I think he’s having a fantastic time. Did he give me advice? Not really. I think everyone deals with it in their own way.
Did you have much trouble with fans during filming?
I embraced the whole fan thing but it’s not the level as maybe Rob has. This is my stance on the whole thing. You’ve got to try and soak this experience up because people don’t go to this kind of thing every day and you are blessed to be part of something that attracts so much attention so, you know, give the fans back as much as possible within reason. Just a case in point when we were filming in Italy, a very small rustic little village on top of wonderful long Tuscan vineyard landscape, we had a huge film set that landed there for a week or two in June. Then because of that, 5,000 kids broke their piggy banks and breathed life into this middle-aged village and made this experience – I felt very, very famous that week. I felt like royalty. The treatment we got out there was just humanity at its best from everyone from the fans to the crew.
What’s the best thing that’s happened to you since making New Moon?
I think the Montepulciano experience. The shooting in Italy – I actually wrote a small article on it that I’m hoping to get published. I can’t really put into words. I have to really sit down and think about how much of an amazing experience it was.
You mentioned writing. Is that something you’d like to do more of?
When I go through an experience like that, I think it deserves to be gold-plated and immortalised with writing. There have been a couple of incidences where I have been through some very emotionally-cathartic experiences and felt the need to write about it. I did an Iron Man triathlon down in Mexico but I did it all myself and it was a very emotional thing to go through, physically exhausting but then the emotional rebound that came off the back of it – I had to write about it.
New Moon is released on 20 November
