Bella's Eclipse Hair

Early reports from the Eclipse set had Kristen spending a lot of time in the Salon as they tried out different ways to transform her hair from a Joan Jett mullet to Bella Swan's locks. Pictures that surfaced a few days ago from the graduation set revealed that they apparently went with a wig (and not a great one).

LaineyGossip has posted some new pics, information about what was being filmed (visit with Renee in Florida) and her opinion of the wig. The pics cannot be re-posted without permission so head here to check it all out.

Check out this article at MTV.com..  The title is a little misleading, well kinda.

More Eclipse Filming Info and Pictures

All of the following is from LaineyGossip..

On Friday it was Twilight graduation and a first look at Kristen Stewart’s Bella hair. As I reported a couple of weeks ago, she did not want to have extensions added on to her Joan Jett hair. Love her for that. But this wig looks busted. And Jackson Rathbone is the bowlegged hotness. Damn.  (Jenn here:  I agree with her assessment of the wig :-)  you can see the pics in an earlier post.  Also wondering if Jasper has new hair in Eclipse, that'd make him 3 for 3!)


About the scenes – the day before (Thursday), “Bella” and her high school friends were in the cafeteria, excited about graduation. During filming for graduation the following afternoon, “Jessica” gives a speech.

(Me, Jenn again...Let me set this up a little.  The winner of a German Reality show is reportedly playing Vera, Roslalie's friend in her flashback/memories.  She and Jack Houston, Royce, were in town and filmed this past week)

Before leaving they all shot together in the park a scene that takes place in Rochester in 1933 in which Royce leers at Vera while an oblivious Rosalie is next to him. Later on, Rosalie (still human) is seen alone with Vera who has a baby. I’m sure you Twi-Hards can put it all together.

New Eclipse Set Pics of Kristen in new Bella Hair

Looks like they have filmed all or some of the graduation scenes!  Cameras caught Kristen, in her new Bella hair, definately looks like a wig to me.  Any opinions .

A Closer Look At The New Moon Soundtrack Lead Single

According to MTV... (my note here, I love Follow You Into the Dark by DCFC which is on Stephenie's New Moon playlist and look forward to hearing this song)

Death Cab for Cutie's contribution to the "New Moon" soundtrack, "Meet Me
on the Equinox," will premiere on MTV.com on September 13, the day of the Video Music Awards.

In an exclusive interview with MTV News, DCFC bassist Nick Harmer talked about the song — which will be the lead single from the second film in the "Twilight" series — and the mysterious way it ended up on the most-anticipated soundtrack of the year.

"We didn't expect it would be chosen for the first single — we were thinking it would be a part of the soundtrack, maybe," Harmer laughed. "I have no idea if ['Twilight' author] Stephenie Meyer approved it or what. It's been an exciting process, because we've been so removed from it. We were in L.A. for a week and we went into the studio and wrote and recorded the song and submitted it. We didn't know where anything stood, and then we just got a call last week like, 'Guess what — your song has been chosen as the first single.' "

Harmer is the first to admit that Death Cab and "Twilight" seem like an unusual pairing (only guitarist/producer Chris Walla has read the entire series), but upon closer inspection, they actually have plenty in common: most of which has to do with geography and, of course, matters of the heart.

"The big connection for us is 'Here's a wildly popular book series about vampires — which are awesome — set in the Northwest,' and we happen to be from the Northwest as well, so there's this sort of hometown pride kind of thing going on," Harmer said. "I'm kind of happy that Stephenie Meyer put Forks, Washington, on the map for the entire globe.

"I think that a lot of our songs in general concern a lot of the things the main characters in the books are going through: There's a lot of stuff about relationships beginning and ending, and the questioning that happens around being in love and falling out of love," he continued. "That's a comfort zone for us, so a lot of the lyrical content [frontman] Ben [Gibbard] writes also happens to line up with what the characters are going through in the film. Basically the 'Twilight' series is about love, and that's a major theme for us. So, it wasn't difficult for us at all."

As for the song itself, Harmer describes it as "pretty dark and brooding, lyrically," and though it was written specifically for the "New Moon" film, don't expect it to vary much from the Death Cab formula.

"I'm pretty sure Ben didn't try to write a song from the perspective of one of the characters from the novel. The emotional stuff is what he homed in on, because that's what we do," he said. "It's an uptempo song ... it fits right into the Death Cab canon. The lyrics are darker and brooding, the music is a little more up. I don't know if it's a rock song ... when you hear it, you'll think, 'Yep, that's a Death Cab song.' "

The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards will take place September 13 at 9 p.m. ET. Additional celebrity presenters and performers will be announced in the coming weeks. To be the first to find out the inside scoop, follow the Inside MTV Twitter account at Twitter.com/InsideMTV.

FAN SITE FRIDAYS: NEW INTERVIEW WITH TAYLOR LAUTNER

First look at Rob as Eclipse Edward

RadarOnline has snagged the first pics of Rob as Edward in Eclipse. Check out some of the pictures below. Is Edward wearing a jean jacket? Check out the rest of the pics here.

New Volturi Images

People has an exclusive new look at the Volturi.... I am not sold on the Volturi BUT with them I think a lot of it is in HOW they MOVE, ACT, SPEAK, etc not in how they look in a still.

ahhh, look at Edward

According to People...

Prepare to be scared. In New Moon, the second installment in Stephenie
Meyer's wildly popular Twilight saga, readers are first introduced to the
ancient ruling class of vampires known as the Volturi. Determined to capture
their creepy menace for his screen version opening Nov. 20, New Moon director
Chris Weitz has given them custom-crafted blood-red eyes. "They're all
hand-painted, specially manufactured contacts," Weitz tells PEOPLE. "They're
opaque red, almost like preying mantis eyes. You can't really see into them.
There's something terribly off-putting about it." British actor Michael Sheen
(The Queen) plays Aro, leader of the Italian blood-sucking clan. Although Aro
and his brothers Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl) and Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower)
have been "alive" for thousands of years, Weitz says he "deliberately" gave them
a younger look in the film – for which he credits author Meyer.

"Stephenie was very keen to steer away from a kind of wizard-y look for
the vampires," says Weitz. "They do look quite young, but they convey a
formality and self-possession, which comes from age." Perhaps most lethal of all
the Volturi is Jane (Dakota Fanning), an angelic-looking vampire who inflicts
physical torture on her victims. "She is very strange and very spooky in this
movie," says Weitz. "I think [Dakota] wanted to play an evil character for
once."

Well what do YOU think??

Lots of New Stuff

LaineyGossip update on Eclipse filming (she is snarky, love her shower curtain comment, and not a fan of Twilight but I enjoy her and she gives good info)

The main stars have been hard at work this week. David Slade tweeted on Monday that he shot with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson and I can tell you exclusively that Kristen has also been working with Taylor Lautner this week. “Bella” goes on a piggyback run with “Jacob” and they run through the forest. She also drops blood everywhere, and at some point she punches him in the face after he kisses her. And for the Twi-Hards, Slade’s Tweet referred to scenes between Stewart and Pattinson that took place in the “meadow”. My source tell me that they talk about getting married, they roll around a little, and they agree on a wedding date. Now go make out with your Edward Cullen shower curtain.

StephenieMeyer.com made an announcment today about the New Moon Soundtrack.....

I just received the following announcement from Atlantic Records (the record label that produced the Twilight Soundtrack):
The first single has officially been confirmed for the New Moon Soundtrack! Death Cab for Cutie has written an exclusive song for the movie entitled 'Meet Me On the Equinox.' Below is a statement from the band about the song:

"We are very excited to be a part of this amazing series of novels set in our own backyard. It just seemed a perfect synergy that a band from the Northwest would create a song for a series of novels set in the Northwest. We wrote 'Meet Me On the Equinox' to reflect the celestial themes and motifs that run throughout the Twilight series and we wanted to capture that desperate feeling of endings and beginnings that so strongly affect the main characters. This song marks the first attempt that Death Cab for Cutie has ever made at contributing new, unreleased material for afilm and we are proud to be a part of the Twilight legacy." — Nick Harmer / Death Cab forCutie

Additionally, we have the exclusive premiere of the soundtrack album cover below! The soundtrack will be in stores on October 20th, 2009, stay tuned for more information! You can pre-order the New Moon Soundtrack now, and we will be posting more artist information as it becomes available. And, if you need some ideas for things to purchase to qualify for free shipping (over $25), I would suggest the Breaking Dawn Special Edition and the Eclipse paperback, which both went on-sale this month.

Have a great day!

Volturi pics and info coming as soon as I can get to them...

Victoria & Riley Scenes

According to LaineyGossip, last night scenes were filmed with Victoria and Riley. She reports that Victoria is seducing Riley so that he will "carry out her orders".

Miscellaneous "Stuff" How's that for a Broad Topic??

Meet Leah & Seth Clearwater (Julia Jones & BooBoo Stewart)

This new outtake from a Twilight photo shoot was released this week...Hot, huh?

This barn in the Vancouver area was the location of night shooting this week for Eclipse.

According to LaineyGossip Alice, Edward, Maria and Jasper were involved in the shoot which is believed to be flashbacks and perhaps a vision of a memory. Hmmm sounds interesting. Lainey is also reporting that Kristen has spent more time in a salon "am told exclusively that they were testing out a look, something to do with a transformation, not just her hair, but makeup and costuming too. As a vampire." Ok now I am REALLY curious.

And how about this?? Check out this new movie still of Ashley Greene as Alice Cullen in New Moon. What do you think about her new 'look' in New Moon compared to the one in Twilight. I like it! (click to see it bigger)

Eclipse Announcement from Summit

Summit released an official announcement yesterday that filming has begun on Eclipse. It also contained a few casting tidbits.

New Cast Members
Xavier Samuel as Riley
Catalina Sandino Moreno as Maria
Jack Huston as Royce King
Julia Jones as Leah Clearwater
BooBoo Stewart as Seth Clearwater
Jodelle Ferland as Bree

Eclipse Filming Has Begun

Several sources (including Peter Facinelli) reported that the filming would begin this week.

According to LaineyGossip yesterday's scenes included Jasper & Maria flashbacks. This is likely why he has spent a lot of hours training on horseback.

Lainey is also reporting that Kristen spent time in the salon as they test out their options for "Bella Hair"... wig or extensions?? Seems like they will have their work cut out for them in taking her from Joan Jett mullet back to Bella Swan.

New Moon Trailer Stills

MTV has posted stills from the new trailer, the comments are mine....

The Volturi's Lair (not at all as I imagined, but reserving judgement til I see the movie)

Victoria, love the new contacts

Jane (I think she looks really good)

Edward, perhaps being tortured by Jane.

Los Angeles, CA August 17, 2009 – Summit Entertainment and Creation Entertainment today announced a partnership to produce a series of Official TWILIGHT Fan Conventions over the next three years.

The unprecedented success of both the Twilight novels by Stephenie Meyer and the feature film adaptation of the first book has created a worldwide following of passionate fans who are eagerly awaiting the release of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON, the second movie in Summit’s TWILIGHT film franchise, which will be released theatrically in North America on November 20, 2009.

New Moon Trailer in HD: Meet Jacob Black

Here it is all legal and everything. This was released by Summit today, titled Meet Jacob Black and with a synopsis.

In the second installment of Stephenie Meyer’s phenomenally successful TWILIGHT series, the romance between mortal and vampire soars to a new level as BELLA SWAN (Kristen Stewart) delves deeper into the mysteries of the supernatural world she yearns to become part of—only to find herself in greater peril than ever before.

Following Bella’s ill-fated 18th birthday party, EDWARD CULLEN (Robert Pattinson) and his family abandon the town of Forks, Washington, in an effort to protect her from the dangers inherent in their world. As the heartbroken Bella sleepwalks through her senior year of high school, numb and alone, she discovers Edward’s image comes to her whenever she puts herself in jeopardy. Her desire to be with him at any cost leads her to take greater and greater risks.

With the help of her childhood friend JACOB BLACK (Taylor Lautner), Bella refurbishes an old motorbike to carry her on her adventures. Bella’s frozen heart is gradually thawed by her budding relationship with Jacob, a member of the mysterious Quileute tribe, who has a supernatural secret of his own.

When a chance encounter brings Bella face to face with a former nemesis, only the intervention of a pack of supernaturally large wolves saves her from a grisly fate, and the encounter makes it frighteningly clear that Bella is still in grave danger. In a race against the clock, Bella learns the secret of the Quileutes and Edward’s true motivation for leaving her. She also faces the prospect of a potentially deadly reunion with her beloved that is a far cry from the one she’d hoped for. With more of the passion, action and suspense that made TWILIGHT a worldwide phenomenon, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON is a spellbinding follow-up to the box office hit.

U.S. release via Summit Entertainment, November 20, 2009.

Rotten Tomatoes Talk Chris Weitz

Rachelle Lefevre on Weitz: "Chris is much quieter and calmer anyway, he just has a different style, but also he's come into a world that somebody went through all of that to bring to life. And so I feel like part of the reason he came in maybe a little more quiet was just sort of respect the fact that he didn't just show up and go, 'All right guys. It's Chris Weitz's Twilight now.' He didn't do that at all. He completely respected that somebody else had laid the foundation and he was like, all right, here's where I'm going to take it within the realm of what's already been established. And so it's a different job, you know? It's something that he's executing beautifully because we all really feel both directed and respected in terms of what we've already done. We love him."

Get Together

We had a great time at tonight's get together. Several members of our groups and some friends got together for dinner, drinks and to talk about The Time Traveler's Wife (we had a hard time staying on topic, we just have so much Twilight stuff to talk about lol and only see each other once a month) Then we headed down to the movie theatre for the movie version. Overall I think most of us liked it and felt it was pretty well done. There was a lot of stuff from the book that was not in the movie, but that is to be expected.

After the movie Becky & I stuck around (for an hour lol) and watched the previews before Bandslam. I was sooo nervous that we were going to get in trouble. Get this - we were the only people in the theatre up until about 1 minute before the previews started when 2 others came in! That made me even more nervous :-) The preview looked great on the big screen, but I am still not really getting the whole Taylor/Jacob narrating thing. And because of how fast the end moves it was still hard to get a good look at the Volturi / Edward shots. But really it looks like the movie is going to be GREAT - November 20 cannot get here soon enough!

Edi & Stephenie Watched New Moon!

Check out what Edi Gathegi tweeted earlier tonight! He has apparently watched the first 'draft' (for lack of a better word lol) of the New Moon movie...with Stephenie Meyer....and he says it is AWESOME!!

I am in the Time Out Corner

I am sitting in Time Out - was put here by YouTube & Summit Entertainment. My video posted earlier of the New Moon Trailer in English has been removed for copyright infringement. I also had to remove the 1st New Moon trailer that I uploaded back when it first cam out. They have threatened to remove my account.

I feel like my nephew who was learning the ropes of a good old fashioned "time out" yesterday.

:-(

Fansite Friday

Today is the second in a series of Fansite Fridays. Several of the Twilight Fansites are releasing information about their New Moon set visits back in April.

Check out this interview with Wyck Godfrey on Twilight Source, it's very interesting. (I think this week all the sites are running the same interview.)

Peter Facinelli from Twilight's Dr. Cullen to Nurse Jackie's Dr Copper

iesb.com has a really great interview with Peter Facinelli. It's long, but if you are a fan it's worth every minute :-).

IESB: Does it help to have those other actors to go through this whole crazy process with?

Peter: Definitely. There's a definite comfort when you see the other actors. You feel like you're all in it together. It's a very family-oriented group. We go for dinners, and we like being with each other. I don't think there's one person who doesn't get along with the others, in the group, and it really has become a family. When you see the other person, even if it's for a non-Twilight event, there's a comfort level there. When you look across and see them, they make you smile. Some of my favorite scenes are when all of the Cullens are together. When I'm doing a scene and I look across and see that whole group of actors together, in one scene, it just makes me happy. It makes me feel like the whole gang is there and the whole family is together.

Read the interview here.

Jacob & Bella EW Cover

This week's Entertainment Weekly will have Bella & Jacob on the cover and will also include an article about New Moon inside. Here's a little video from the EW Cover photo shoot, Taylor & Kristen talk about Taylor is or isn't like Jacob.

What do you think??

New Moon: Movie Companion

The New Moon:The Official Illustrates Movie Companion is scheduled to be released by Little Brown on October 6th. The book is sure to be full of color photos of the cast of New Moon.

Teen's Choice Awards

Enjoy some pictures of the Twilight cast on the Red Carpet at last night's Teen's Choice Awards.

The Cullen Brothers are looking GOOD!

This interview by Entertainment Tonight was conducted after the show. I included it because I find it particularly funny the way they talk about Rob & his hair. I also don't think I have ever seen Kristen so.....(searching for a word).....likeable. (Sorry, I mean no offense by that comment).

Some News....

NEW MOON TRAILER

By now we all know that the new New Moon Theatrical Trailer will be shown before Summit's BandSlam which opens this weekend. BUT Summit has just announced that a 10 second preview will be released this Wednesday, August 12.

Check here on Wednesday - I will do my best to find it for you girls!!

UPDATE: According to HisGolden Eyes Summit will be releasing 14 seconds of the trailer tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.

TEEN'S CHOICE AWARDS

The Teen's Choice Awards were held last night and Twilight fared pretty well. There were quite a few Twilight stars in attendance, including Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, and Nikki Reed. The show will be aired tonight at 8:00 pm on Fox. I will be adding a post in a few minutes with some pictures from the Red Carpet and a video or two from after the awards.

ECLIPSE REHEARSALS / FILMING

By all accounts the cast of Eclipse have head (will be heading) back up to Vancouver today for rehearsals and to begin filming Eclipse. Many of the vampires have already spent time over the past few weeks in Vancouver for fight training. I am looking forward to hearing about Eclipse, it is probably my favorite of the Twilight Books. One of the scenes I am most excited to see is the tent scene which Taylor keeps talking about. I assume that means it must be well written in the script, which he surely must have read by now :-)

Fansite Friday

Be sure to visit these sites for their first reports from their New Moon set visit back in April. I have only made it through two of them so far. They are long, but worth every minute of it!!

FanMade New Moon Trailer

The Theatrical Trailer is expected to be shown next week before Summit's new movie BandSlam. Here's a little something to hold us over.

YouTube user Sanyiaa (love her stuff) has posted this. Enjoy!

Eclipse

According to LaineyGossip.com the Eclipse cast members who are in Vancouver had dinner together last night. (Jackson/Jasper, Nikki/Rosalie, Ashley/Alice, Taylor/Jacob, Peter/Carlisle, Bryce/Victoria, Kellan/Emmet, Elizabeth/Esme and Xavier/Riley)

They are reportedly invloved in pre-filming workouts and fight training. AND (get this) according to Lainey Jackson is involved in some horseback riding lessons!! It took me a minute to figure that out, but I assume it's for flashbacks when he is telling his story to Bella. love it!!

New Jacob Movie Still

ShockYa.com has these New Moon movie stills of Jacob, Bella & the motorcycles. I'm not sure if these are new or not, they look familiar but I don't remeber where I saw them lol.
