Details are emerging on a New Moon Soundtrack Companion which is also scheduled for release in March. Thanks to the Twilight Examiner for the following information....

The story broke today that an official soundtrack companion would be making its way to the marketplace on March 16th, the same day of release for Twilight: The
Graphic Novel, Volume 1 and just four days before the release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the DVD.

According to Tommy2, whose exclusive it was, the companion will come in the form of CD and DVD, and it'll boast the following upon its tracklists:

4. Anya Marina – Satellite Heart (music video)
5. Lupe Fiasco – Solar Midnite (music video)
6. Hurricane Bells – Monsters (music video)

This has been confirmed, but the information does come with a caveat that the track listings on both are subject to change prior to the album's release.

Note that the artwork for the album has also not been completed just yet

Pre-Order your New Moon DVD

The New Moon DVD is now available for pre-order. But which one to choose?? MTV helps with this pre-order guide...

Both Target and Barnes & Noble are offering special edition versions of "New Moon." Target's is arguably the best, offering a second special edition disc (three discs in all) and a "collectible film cell." The only details they had about the third disc is that it contains "never before seen content," and also commented that quantities are limited for the film cell (so make sure you ask when you pick up your copy). The special edition runs at $36.99, but is $10 off for pre-order, making it $26.99. The Blu-Ray version is $29.99.

Barnes & Noble doesn't offer an extra disc, but does offer much better doodads than
a collectible film cell. According to the bookstore's website, the special edition comes with "a 'New Moon' Dreamcatcher Bag Clip, a metal dangle finished in antique brass that combines a circular dreamcatcher, a sculptural Wolf Pack-tattoo charm [and] a Wolf Pack jewelry tag, feathers, and crystals." The list price for this special edition is $33.99, but online B&N is offering it for $27.19. The Blu-Ray version is $31.99.

If you don't feel like spending some extra money on the various special editions, we found Amazon.com to be offering the best prices, with $21.99 for the two-disc special edition DVD, and $24.99 for the Blu-Ray. Wal-mart was 33 cents more at $22.32/$25.32, and Target was $1 more at $22.99/$25.99, so it all depends on your preferences.

Borders is offering the DVD at $22.99, but the Blu-Ray at a competitive $24.99. Fortunately, they're all well below the market prices.

As for what the DVDs contain for special features, UK website Play had a pretty specific rundown of what will be offered, but we can't confirm that they are going to be the same in the US as they will in the UK. According to Play (who's selling the DVD with a "New Moon" keychain), the documentary included is called "The Journey Continues," and the six parts will be called "1. Life after Twilight, 2. Chris Weitz takes the helm, 3. The subtle details, 4. A look at production, 5. It's not magic, 6. Ready for the World" (Target confirms this).

There will be four music videos: Death Cab's "Meet Me On The Equinox," Anya Marina's "Satellite Heart," Mutemath's "Spotlight" and Muse's "I Belong To You" with behind the scenes rehearsal footage. There will also be a piece called "The beat goes on: the music of 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon'."

There will also be a Fan Event Q&A with Rob, Kristen, Taylor and Chris — probably
from Comic-Con or one of the Hot Topic tours, as well as a bit called "Fandimonium" with a look at the "Twilight" fan culture. There will be a "Team Jacob vs Team Edward" piece, some deleted scenes, introduction special features for the Volturi and Wolfpack, an Edward and Jacob "Fast Forward," special videos on Edward going to Italy and Taylor Lautner becoming Jacob, and finally a feature called "Frame by Frame: Storyboards to Screen."
Phew! Now that you have all that information, where are you pre-ordering your "New Moon" DVD from?

Eclipse Movie Score Info

Howard Shore has been announced as the Composer of the Eclipse score.
Shore, among many other projects, was responsible for the score in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.



Kristen Talks About Breaking Dawn

Kristen Stewart was at the Sundance FilmFestival to promote two of her upcoming films. While she was there she spoke to MTV about Breaking Dawn...

"I don't even know if it's going to be one [film] or two, or who is directing it, or when it's even going [to start]," she admitted. "I know that it's going to go, but not when yet."

The most important issue facing Kristen's character is the birth of Edward and Bella's baby daughter Renesmee. In Stephenie Meyer's novel, Renesmee's birth is so graphic that Bella nearly dies but is ultimately converted into a vampire and saved by Edward. While the scene is currently unwritten as far as the "Breaking Dawn" script goes, Kristen is eager to learn how it will translate from book to film.

"I haven't seen a script, but I'm not alone in really, really wondering how they're going to handle that," she said.

As important as the birth scene itself is the baby that is born. Will Renesmee be played by an actual baby or will she be given the CGI treatment? It's a tricky question that Kristen doesn't have an easy answer for, but one thing is certain — Renesmee has to be adorable.

"Little Renesmee, she's got to be cute," said the actress. "She can't just be this scary superhuman teeth baby!


Yeah, I am afraid of the creepy teeth baby thing too!!
(Note to spellchecker: Renesmee is not spelled wrong although I am sure you will tell me that everytime I type it :-)

A Little Late But...Happy 2010!!!



So I kind of went MIA for the past 2 weeks, in my defense there really wasn't much "Twilight Saga" news to report. Well, yes there was plenty of news and tabloid stuff going on with the stars of the movies, but we steer clear of most of that here.

Here's to a happy and healthy 2010 to you all! Looking forward to Eclipse this Summer (and our VIP Viewing plans for the midnight release)

AND thanks to Lisa & Marianne we know that Jackson Rathbone's band 100 Monkeys will be performing in Scranton sometime this year.

ECLIPSE Script Leaked?

There are several on-line reports that the ECLIPSE movie script has been leaked. Reportedly it is available as an on-line download.
I'm not sure how true this is, it may or may not be the real deal. I am not going to click the download link to find out, for two reasons....
  1. I don't need/want to deal with any more computer viruses!
  2. As hard as it for me, deep down inside I want to wait for the movie and don't want to ruin the surprise.
