Twilight and New Moon News for Nov 13



Exclusive Interview With Robert Pattinson

When it came time to start production on The Twilight Saga: New Moon, producers of the much-anticipated Twilight sequel faced an awkward conundrum. Author Stephenie Meyer, having penned the second chapter of her teen vampire saga before production on the first film began, cast Bella Swan’s forbidden paramour, Edward Cullen, as essentially a background character in New Moon. But that was before a dreamy English bloke named Robert Pattinson arrived on the scene, inspiring an almost cult-like following with his performance as the brooding vampire badboy in Catherine Hardwicke’s blockbuster 2008 adaptation.

'New Moon' star Kellan Lutz wows fang base

NATICK, Mass. — The screams were loud enough to wake the undead.
Several hundred "Twilight" fans poured into the Natick Collection last night to meet Kellan Lutz, who plays vampire Emmett Cullen in the popular book and film series. The second movie installment, "New Moon," opens Nov. 20.
Seventy-five fans, who paid $75 at Nordstrom's junior department, had their photographs taken with Lutz, who autographed the photos. Another 500 fans who paid $30 for a Hot Topic T-shirt picked up autographed posters from the 24-year-old actor. After the band Hurricane Bells performed in the mall's event area, Lutz made another appearance, this time for a free half-hour question-and-answer session. Questions from the shrieking throng were read by WJMN-FM 94.5 radio personality Pebbles. Link...








Oprah brings Stephenie Meyer and “New Moon” to Twilight fans
It may just be another Friday the 13th to you, but for “Twilight” fans today is something much more significant. It’s the day that author Stephenie Meyer will appear on “Oprah.” And it may also be a chance to catch a sneak preview of “New Moon,” [Ed’s note: Originally the book was mistakenly referred to as “Full Moon”] the film of the second book of Meyer’s “Twilight” teen vampire series, set to open in theaters on Nov. 20.
Meyer’s appearance on Oprah is no small event in itself. By her own admission, the author has been “doing the hermit thing” for about a year now. And she says that her chat with Oprah will be the “one and only” interview she’ll do for “Full Moon.”
Meyer told her fans that she chose the Oprah show because she figured that, “[S]ince I’m only doing one interview, better make it big. Really big.” (She also agreed to take specific fan questions about the movie on her website on Monday and Tuesday of this week.) Link....
