The Twilight Saga: New Moon News on Fandango

'New Moon' Destroys Harry Potter on Way to Best Midnight Opening Ever!

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

Well, so much for the folks who thought all those negative reviews might impact New Moon's opening box office. Variety tells us that The Twilight Saga: New Moon has shattered records and set box office history by grossing an astonishing $26 million in midnight showings alone. The latest installment in the teen vamp franchise easily beat the previous record-holder, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which grossed $22.2 million earlier this summer.

Poll: How Much will The Twilight Saga: New Moon Make Opening Weekend?

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

Yes, there are three new films in wide release this weekend, but I think we're gonna skip our usual Who Will Win The Box Office Poll because, well, I think it's pretty obvious which film will win the weekend. But just how much The Twilight Saga: New Moon makes is an entirely different story. At this same time back in 2008, Twilight opened in theaters to the tune of $69 million. The film eventually went on to gross a whopping $383 million worldwide, and there's a pretty good chance New Moon could beat that.

Werewolves: They're Bringing Sexy Back

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

You've seen endless lists of sexy vampires, but what about their natural enemies—werewolves? We got to doing some research and found that the dudes who play the hairy howlers are pretty photogenic—in their human forms. We've put together a photo list of the guys who play these often bloodthirsty beasts, including Taylor Lautner from New Moon and Michael J. Fox from Teen Wolf, thanks to some of your suggestions via Twitter. (Follow @Fandango here).

Why Chris Weitz Probably Won't Direct 'Breaking Dawn'

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

Will Summit Entertainment stick with the whole one-director-per-film thing, or will they bring back someone from the first three to step behind the camera for what in all likelihood will be the final big-screen installment in the Twilight franchise? Well, chances are very good that Catherine Hardwicke won't be back, and the word is still out on David Slade (who's directing Eclipse, due out on June 30th), but New Moon director Chris Weitz may have already given up his spot by revealing in a recent interview that he may quit directing after his next film.

The Five: People We'd Like to See Star in Future 'Twilight' Installments

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

From what I gather, there are over 20 brand new characters introduced in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, the final book (and film adaptation) in Stephenie Meyer's series. Since Eclipse is already filming and probably not adding too many more cast members, we'll concentrate more on the final book, which, according to Robert Pattinson, will most likely go before cameras next summer.

The Buzz: 'New Moon' Reviews Are In!

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

We're less than 24 hours away from much-anticipated debut of The Twilight Saga: New Moon in theaters. But before you head out to line up and fight the crowds, perhaps you should check in to see what the critics thought of the latest installment in the Twilight series. Of course, if you're a true Twi-hard, you're watching this film regardless, but those of you on the fence may want to take a look at this …

NEW MOON stars reveal their secrets

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

New Moon stars reveal their secrets, as heard on Fandango:
ROBERT PATTINSON to FANDANGO:
1. ON THE SECOND TIME AROUND:
“I saw the movie [NEW MOON] the other day and I like it a lot; it’s a lot easier to promote – not that I didn’t like TWILIGHT… [but] there were so many different pressures pulling in every direction…and now, after the first one came out, you see [who] the audience is…you know exactly what you’re delivering….”
2. ON HOW HE PREPARED FOR THE “DUMPING BELLA” SCENE:

“I didn’t want Edward to seem just like a complete asshole about it – being completely cruel to her just to get rid of her…but I suddenly realized that everything he’s saying to her is the truth.”
KRISTEN STEWART to FANDANGO:
1. ON PLAYING BELLA A SECOND TIME:
“It’s a cool opportunity – it’s rare – to be able to explore a character further than I’m used to - I usually get 6 weeks [to explore a character] and then you’re done.”
2. ON HER INITIAL APPEARANCES PROMOTING “TWILIGHT”:
“I was so initially aware that people cared about what I had to say…about something they cared so much about…[So] when I tried to articulate [my thoughts], I was so uber-over-analytical about everything, [thinking,] ‘God, I hope I’m saying the right thing’…and instantly, the second that’s all you’re worrying about, you’re going to say the wrong thing.”
TAYLOR LAUTNER to FANDANGO:
ON KRISTEN STEWART:
1. “We have a relationship that’s very similar to Jake and Bella… I personally love Jake & Bella’s relationship… how it develops from being best friends into more than friends.”
ON MAINTAINING:
2. “It takes a lot of hard work just to keep it up; it’s just as hard to maintain it as it is to put it on…especially, when you’re filming 16-hour days, when do you get into the gym? When do you eat during the day? When you’re walking back from a set to your trailer…you can’t look in that direction [of the craft services/catering table]…you just can’t… you gotta take a different route!”
DIRECTOR CHRIS WEITZ to FANDANGO:
1. ON HIS CAST:
“I think Kristen is exceptional, a transcendent actress – and Rob is too – he’s just much more sort of shy, modest and mumble-y about it. And there was the flowering of Taylor as an actor – not just that he bulked up for the part – but he was willing to go to places which we hadn’t seen him go to in the first film.”
2. ON THE FANS:
“I feel a responsibility to the fans. They wait and wait and they hope that they get a good version of this book. I’m probably more nervous now - after everyone is asking me [this week] if I’m nervous - than I was at any other point [while shooting the movie.]”

Funny or Lame: Taylor Swift's SNL 'Twilight' Spoof

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

If you managed to catch Saturday Night Live over the weekend, then you probably watched this week's host, Taylor Swift, poke a little fun at Twilight in a parody trailer for a film called Firelight. Here, instead of a girl falling deeply in love with a vampire, Swift plays a girl who, aside from biting her lip, like, a lot, falls for Frankenstein. Oh yes, when "The Franks" invade a small town high school, things take a drastic turn for the weird as our heroine does all she can to keep her relationship with Frankenstein going without being accidentally strangled by her one true love.

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

Okay, maybe I'm being a bit premature in my prediction that you won't want to watch this Twilight-related piece of "um, yeah, whatever" – but regardless I guarantee you'll be yawning roughly 30 seconds in. Bluewater Productions has decided to create a bio comic for Twilight's author called Twilight Unbound: The Stephenie Meyer Story. But not only will Meyer get her own comic, Bluewater has actually gone the extra step to turn this sucker into a motion comic!

The PG-13 rated movie also stars William Hurt, Maria Bello and Eddie Redmayne and is "a love story at its core, about three strangers of two generations bound by loneliness who reach out to one another. After embarking on a road trip through post Katrina Louisiana, their relationships forge and change in a myriad of ways, leading to the possibility of second chances." Sounds interesting and emotional, but eventually, uplifting...

Over 1,000 Fandango readers voted in our polls to try to determine which 2009 movie-inspired costumes would be the biggest hits this year…and the results may surprise you. We asked two different questions, with one looking for the most popular movie-inspired "team" costume based on a 2009 film, and the other looking for the most sought-after movie-inspired adult costume based on a character or star from a 2009 film. So, would vampires and mall cops rule the day?

The Five: Vampires We’d Want to Date

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

Let’s face it: vampires are a risky investment, in terms of someone you’d want to date. Yeah, sure, out of your standard movie monsters, vampires do tend to be the most sensual and romantic (who doesn’t like a little nibble on the neck?), but then you have to deal with the whole biting thing, sharp fangs and the fact that your significant other can’t really go tanning with you in the Caribbean.

'New Moon' Clip: Bella vs. The Wolves

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

In addition to the 10 new photos from The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Summit Entertainment has released the first official clip from the film online via iTunes, with a tantalizing introduction by Taylor Lautner. In the clip (which you can watch in HD here or below), Bella squares off against the shirtless wolf pack, becoming so enraged at one point that she goes so far as to slap one of the boys across the face. This, of course, wasn't the smartest course of action, since within seconds the shirtless boy transforms into a giant angry wolf, capable of tearing Bella to shreds in, oh, about 2.4 seconds.

It also captures the essence of the film, especially toward the end—which I won't spoil here. Feast your eyes on five of the photos and head to the New Moon gallery for the rest.

Well, the good news is that both Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) somehow find a way to survive The Twilight Saga: New Moon (due in theaters November 20th), because the two lead characters are front and center in these newly released images from the next installment, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Kristen Stewart's Secret to Success: Lip Biting

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

Some actors and actresses make their mark by doing funny voices or dressing up in ridiculous costumes, while others simply go with the small, memorable facial movements over and over and over again. That's what brings us to Twilight star Kristen Stewart, who at some point during her fairly new-ish career decided it might be a good idea to give most (if not all) her characters the same trait: lip biting.

'New Moon' Soundtrack Leaks – Listen Now!

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

We're not sure how it leaked, but those of you itching to listen to the full soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: New Moon can now do so one week before its official release date of October 20th. Based on the tracks I listened to, the soundtrack is definitely packed with dark, moody tunes that are sure to excite the angsty teenage vampire inside all of us.

'New Moon' Music Video Arrives Online!

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

Okay, we can do without the parts where Death Cab for Cutie are playing their instruments and doing, ya know, band-related stuff – but if you're going to watch this brand new video for "Meet Me on the Equinox", then you should do so for the never-before-seen footage from The Twilight Saga: New Moon, which still hasn't arrived in theaters yet. (Damn you November 20th – why can't you arrive sooner!)

Exclusive Interview: Michael Sheen

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

At 12, Michael Sheen was a rising football (soccer) star. The Welsh-born actor was offered a spot on one of Britain's major teams, Arsenal, but he decided instead to pursue a path toward theater and acting. We can't say we regret his decision, after his stellar performances in Frost/Nixon, The Queen, and the sci-fi/fantasy franchise Underworld.

Reader Poll: Who Should Play Prince Harry -- Robert Pattinson or Rupert Grint?

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

Rumors are swirling around the UK that both Robert Pattinson and Rupert Grint are being eyed to play Prince Harry in an upcoming biopic directed by Peter Kosminsky (White Oleander). Now you might think that at 25 years of age, Prince Harry really hasn't lived the kind of life worthy of a big-screen biopic. Kosminsky, however, feels differently. On why he's attracted to the project, Kosminsky told the Telegraph the following: "His parents break up in the most spectacularly public way, his mother dies in the most tragic and, again, public way and everything is picked over. He's a man born to no role, the heir and the spare."

Will Kristen Stewart Become 'An American Girl'?

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

Prior to playing Bella in Twilight, Kristen Stewart was a relatively unknown indie actress who popped up in fairly obscure festival films playing some variation of an abused and tormented teenager. Now, though, whether she wanted the attention or not, Stewart has become a sort of teen idol – joining the ranks of those who've come before her, like Kirk Cameron, Debbie Gibson, Davy Jones and Britney Spears.

Yay or Nay: I Kissed a Vampire – The Musical

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

Stephenie Meyers' Ditches 'The Twilight Saga' for 'The Host'

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

As a novelist, naturally, Twilight author Stephenie Meyer has worked on more than just a handful of teen-centric vampire novels. And now that her Twilight Saga has turned into a giant fangirl-tastic franchise, Hollywood is looking to cash in on whatever else the gal has up her sleeve. That "whatever else" just happens to be Meyer's first adult novel, The Host, which was picked up by producers Nick Wechsler, Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz, all of whom used their own money to nab the screen rights. Andrew Niccol (Gattica, Lord of War) will write the screenplay.

'New Moon' Photos: Taylor Goes Shirtless—Again

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

Ooo la la! It seems like these days, whenever New Moon shows up in Twitter trending topics, it's because of someone's abs—either Rob Pattinson's, Taylor Lautner's or both. The LA Times posted 30-plus, new on-set images of the cast and crew filming at a park outside of Vancouver in the wee hours of the morning. While most kept themselves covered with puffy jackets and hats to keep warm, Taylor went sans shirt for the shoot—nothing but his chiseled muscles for insulation. Now that's dedication!

'New Moon' Update: Sexy Image and Leaked Soundtrack Song

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

Things are beginning to heat up on the New Moon front as yesterday a brand new image from the film was released featuring those two knuckleheads Bella and Edward in a weird sort of marriage proposal pose looking all lusty and passionate and concerned. Ever notice that? Ya know, the fact that Bella always looks concerned or upset or freaked out? I mean, sure, you've fallen in love with a hot teenage vampire and things tend to get a little dangerous when you dabble in the supernatural world, but it wouldn't hurt the chick to smile once and awhile is all I'm saying. Anyway, check out the photo below … but prepare to swoon loudly!

The Wackiest 'New Moon' Fan Art Ever!

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

We've seen some strange things when it comes to the kind of fan-inspired art created by those who cherish The Twilight Saga more than, say, their own existence in this world. From Robert Pattinson-inspired shadow posters to an actual felted version of Bella's womb, it's obvious that fans will go to great lengths to show their devotion to all things Twilight. But now some fans have taken it up a notch over in Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's home state of Utah by creating two giant open field mazes in preparation for the upcoming Twilight sequel, New Moon, due in theaters on November 20.

First Set Photos from 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse'!

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

The first images from the Seattle set of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse have made their way online…and it's a smoocher! Yes, Eclipse was filming a scene under a Seattle bridge last night, and while it didn't include Bella or Edward, we do have our first look at Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria. You'll remember that Howard replaced Rachelle Lafevre in the role due to scheduling conflicts a few weeks ago, and that casting move sparked a war of words between the actress and the studio – with each side claiming they were right and the other was wrong.

New Moon Director Chris Weitz - His take on the soundtrack, spoiler scenes and the Twilight pop-culture phenomenon

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

Chris Weitz, the director behind American Pie, takes his turn with the fan-crazed Twilight franchise on New Moon. Right now, he's on crunch time, working the fastest he's ever worked to hit his deadlines, and have the film ready for release this November. "We're kind of moving at light speed, but still trying to deliver something that's very elegant and beautiful," Weitz says.

We discuss the forthcoming soundtrack, working with Taylor Lautner, Dakota Fanning and Michael Sheen, and possibly returning to direct Breaking Dawn. For someone who's in the spotlight of the Twilight frenzy (something akin to Beatlemania), he remains calm, collected and refreshingly humble. Read the full interview.

Summit just announced New Moon's full-length theatrical trailer will hit theaters with the release of Bandslam this Friday, Aug. 14.

"Twilight" struck a vein at the Teen Choice Awards.

The adolescent vampire drama dominated Sunday's ceremony with 11 wins, including choice movie drama, romance, liplock, rumble and soundtrack. Kristen Stewart won the movie drama actress category while Robert Pattinson picked up two surfboard-shaped trophies - one for movie drama actor, another for male hottie.

Teen Sues Twilight Author for Plagiarizing Her Novel

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

C'mon, it was bound to happen at some point. According to TMZ, a 21-year-old girl named Jordan Scott claims Twilight author Stephanie Meyer plagiarized her 2006 book The Nocturne after finding too many similarities in Meyer's 2008 book Breaking Dawn, which was the final installment in her ridiculously popular Twilight series. Read more of the Twilight lawsuit.

Set Visit Interview with New Moon's Rachelle Lefevre

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

On our New Moon Vancouver set visit, we met up with Rachelle Lefevre, who plays Victoria, a vampire hell-bent on killing Bella for the death of her lover. She spent the day with her little sister, showing her around and introducing her to the other actors. When we caught up with her, she seemed genuinely excited for her role – and her future part in Eclipse.

It seems unlikely she'd purposely let her role in indie film Barney's Version take precedence over the Twilight Saga, and made it clear to us that she needed to be available to film Eclipse. Read on for New Moon details on the scheduling conflict and her stunt-filled, spoiler scenes.

Major 'Twilight' Casting Drama Surrounds 'Eclipse'

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

They don't call it The Twilight Saga for no reason, as some major behind-the-scenes drama has developed over the past 24 hours as the franchise's third installment, Eclipse, nears the start of production later next month. It all started innocently enough when it was announced that actress Bryce Dallas Howard was replacing Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria in Eclipse after the latter actress played the part for the first two films. Supposedly, Lefevre had some scheduling conflicts and so on and so forth. These things happen, right? No biggie. Read more of the Twilight casting drama.

Exclusive Set Visit Interview! New Moon's Jamie Campbell Bower

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

In a bleach blond wig offset with stylish, dark attire, British actor Jamie Campbell Bower stands outside the sound studio on the Vancouver set of New Moon, having a cigarette break and waiting to be called in to shoot. His previous role in Sweeney Todd, and buzz from his upcoming part as Gellert Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows haven't quite thrust him into the stratosphere of fame yet, but playing Caius, a member of the Volturi, might do the job. We grab him for a moment to ask him about his mysterious character, what it's like to be a part of the Twilight phenomenon and what plans he has for his musical career. Read the on set interview of New Moon's Jamie Campbell Bower.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon Set Visit Part 1

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

It's been nearly two months since our two-day Vancouver Film Studios set visit for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and I'm about to burst! It's been a real challenge to keep my mouth shut for so long on really juicy secrets—the Voluturi! Oh the Volturi! They're straight from the pages of Stephenie Meyer's book! The freaky red eyes, pale skin, the chic Italian clothes, a family crest pendant – everything down to the smallest detail — suits their coven perfectly. They make a deliciously deadly vampire mafia. We got to watch Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart film a bunch of scenes near the film's ending, and also interviewed a LOT of the cast and crew: Taylor Lautner, Michael Sheen, and Rachelle Lefevre to name a few. Read our Fandango report on the New Moon set visit.

Set Visit Interview with New Moon's Taylor Lautner

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:02:44 GMT

Around this same time last year, not too many people knew who Taylor Lautner was. He showed up for 2008's San Diego Comic-Con Twilight panel, but everyone was busy fawning over the British bloke who made all the girls squeal every time he opened his mouth. Lautner's come a long way since then as the fan-proclaimed mascot of Team Jacob, and this time, New Moon shines the spotlight on him.

This ridiculously buff 17-year-old wasn't afraid to joke around with us—he has a contagious, giddy laugh and energetic persona that embodies Stephenie Meyer's coming-of-age werewolf. We stole a few minutes with him in the Vancouver Film Studios during our New Moon set visit and chatted about his Michael Phelps diet, favorite scenes and perspective on Jacob. Read the full Taylor Lautner interview.
