New Moon will feature lots of sparkling, but no Stephenie Meyer

In an interview with Time magazine, Weitz revealed some tidbits about New Moon that you may not know:

• There will be lots of sparkling in the movie.
• Stephenie Meyer will not have a cameo.
• Taylor’s abs are au natural.
• Summit understands that it's Stephenie Meyer's world, and really it's about recreating the experience the reader has, in some kind of faithful manner.
• Kristen is very protective of Taylor.

Chris Weitz confirms soundtrack artists *video*

Hitflix reports:

Director Chris Weitz has confirmed to HitFix.com that Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Bon Iver will be contributing all-new tracks to the film "Twilight Saga: New Moon."

"I selfishly want to put songs in by artists I love. And some the cast and crew also happen to love," says Weitz. "I think [Bon Iver] is fantastic. He says he wrote it for the film, but who ever knows if it might just be something laying around in his cupboard."

Weitz mentioned that he will be listening to Yorke's new track tomorrow (July 24) and "unless it's sounds of him belching, I think I'll put it in."

The comments came during the "Twilight" sequel cast and crew interviews at Comic-Con in San Diego, the multi-day fest at the Convention Center.

British rock group Band Of Skulls -- who have lately been opening for Spinnerette -- will also be included and Weitz still is "hoping to get Kings Of Leon."

As previously reported, Alexandre Desplat will be scoring the film, the sounds of which Weitz describes as "lush. That's how I wanted the cinematography to be."

I Know What I Am

Lexicon's New Moon panel report- *spoilers*

From Twilight Lexicon:

WARNING! There are spoilers here, so look away if you really don’t want to know!

For the first clip, Jacob shows Bella how to work the bike, and as she reeves the engine a “ghost” of Edward appears. This spurs her on and she heads down the road passing multiple “ghosts” on her way until she crashes. Jacob rushes to her and worries over the bleeding gash on her forehead. She apologizes for the blood, to which he says, “it’s only blood, Bella,” and removes his shirt so he can use it to clean her up. Bella gives him the once over and tells him he’s kinda beautiful. He then asks her is she maybe bumped her head too hard.

The second scene was of Alice and Bella driving through Volterra surrounded by the people in red robes. Bella darts out of the car and rushes through the crowds toward the clock tower. She sees Edward just as he is opening up his shirt and getting ready to step out into the sun. She darts over though the fountain telling him to stop and then… the footage ends. Great teaser there!

New Moon's Fanning and Bright most seasoned & controversial

Cameron Bright, 16, and Dakota Fanning, 15, cast as siblings Alec and Jane in the second flick of the Twilight Saga, New Moon, share more than just being cast as fellow Volturi members.

Of all the cast members, the young actors are among the most high profile, having been cast in prominent roles in movies such as X-Men, Juno, The Butterfly Effect (Bright) and I am Sam, Taken, and Charlotte’s Web (Fanning).

Both actors share a darker past as well, however- the result of being a child actor in an adult-themed film. Controversy has plagued each of the child stars.

Twilight: the Video Game?! It could happen!

Before you dismiss the idea of a Twilight-themed video game, read on. Brandon Gardner’s passion is infectious; he’s dedicated to making an immersive, obsessive online-based game true to Stephenie Meyer’s vision. So true, in fact, that his plans include the involvement of Twilight, New Moon, and the unpublished fan favorite, Midnight Sun.

Can you describe the game concept?
One extremely big feature that I'm going with is an open non-linear world revolved around Forks. I like the idea of letting plays explore around the world, and discover new amazing things that are not even covered in the book or the movie.

One really extremely crucial feature in the game engine that was licensed for the game is unlimited world streaming, and this feature allows for the game to go in an open non-linear direction.

The game will being closely based to both Twilight and Midnight Sun allowing the player to play, and experience the story from either Bella's or Edward's perspective. I'm highly thinking of including New Moon into the project as well. I really think it’s important to allow players to experience being human, vampire, or phasing into a werewolf.

Get intimate with Kiowa Gordon

Kiowa Gordon, whose fame is about to shoot to the moon come November 20, spilled some juicy details to Indian Country Today:

• The Native American tribes to which each werewolf belongs: Kiowa Gordon, Hualapai; Alex Meraz, Purepecha (Tarasco); Chaske Spencer, Lakota; and Bronson Pelletier, Cree-Metis.
• Kiowa’s acting experience includes bit parts in Rick Schroeder’s Black Cloud and PBS Pictures Skinwalker.
• He got a “C” in his acting class at Cactus Shadows High School in Cave Creek, AZ. Cave Creek is also home to fellow werewolf Alex Meraz.
• A couple of weeks after landing the role as Embry, Kiowa was whisked off to Los Angeles for a “cyberscan,” an animation technique designed to create the animation transformation from boy to wolf. “A machine went around my body to create a computer image so I could be transformed into a werewolf.”
• Before New Moon- Kiowa had 200 MySpace friends. After New Moon filming- Kiowa now has over 3000.

About filming, Kiowa says, “We spend an hour in makeup getting darker and they enhanced our abs,” laughs Gordon. “It was really cold, one degree Celsius. We wore robes before our shoots. All our scenes were outdoors. We had to get in the rain. I’ve had long hair since the seventh grade, to my shoulders. Our hair has to be short when we become werewolves. I had no idea they were going to cut it. Oh man!”
