USA Today has a new article *and a new photoshoot* featuring ‘New Moon‘:

In New Moon, “Edward does make a stupid mistake by leaving Bella, and that allows Jacob in,” says director Chris Weitz. “You can understand why Bella starts to develop feelings for him. He’s the right man at a frightening time for her, and his devotion is touching. Even die-hard Edward people will understand.”

Stewart, 19, certainly enjoyed the change of pace on camera. “Both of them make me feel completely different,” she says of her co-stars. “Taylor is an impulsive actor, not Method at all. It’s very easy to smile with him. With Rob, we both tend to worry and over-analyze everything.”

As for any rivalry between the two male leads, “I think Rob enjoyed teasing Taylor about his exercise regimen,” Weitz says. But Pattinson appears more than ready to share the paparazzi-propelled burden of Twilight mania. “Rob would like me to say, ‘This is Taylor’s film. Rob isn’t in it at all.’ But subtraction equals multiplication in this case. It will create more hysteria, not less.”

Check out this article that shows some of the cast’s thoughts of ‘New Moon‘ director Chris Weitz and who they think is best directing ‘Breaking Dawn‘.

Robert Pattinson would like to see Gus Van Sant handed the keys to the “Twilight” franchise for “Breaking Dawn,” the yet-unannounced adaptation of the final book in Stephenie Meyer’s vampire series. Co-star Jamie Campbell Bower favors the talents of Tim Burton for the gig.

“New Moon” director Chris Weitz has also hinted he might plop back into the director’s chair for “Breaking Dawn,” and while all this talk is pure speculation at this point, we do know that the “New Moon” cast remains wildly supportive of Weitz.

“I really, really like Chris,” Pattinson said in an interview provided by “Twilight” studio Summit Entertainment. “He’s …

From MTV:

BEVERLY HILLS, California — Judging by the photos that leaked Tuesday night, a lot of people enjoy dreaming that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s onscreen romance also extends offscreen. But no matter what the truth is, this much is fact: Rob and Kristen are happy to have the other at their side as they ride the “Twilight Saga” wave.

“He’s thoughtful,” Stewart explained recently when we asked the actress to name the quality in RPattz that means the most to her. “I don’t want to be specific. It’s funny to talk about your friends in [these terms], because this is now going to be the one thing that’s my favorite thing about Rob. It’s going to be the thing.”

9News talked to Alex Meraz and Kiowa Gordon.

DENVER – Just days before the new Twilight movie “New Moon” hits theaters, two actors from the film stopped by 9NEWS to talk about life behind the scenes.

Alex Meraz who plays the werewolf, Paul, and Kiowa Gordon who plays his pack brother, Embry Call, say the real life actors are much like the tribal brothers in the movie.

“We definitely have bonded and we really are a pack. That’s the good thing about these films is that it’s really rare that you get to work with people you enjoy. We even text each other to make sure we’re doing well. We’re like real brothers,” Meraz said.

The actors who play the wolf pack spend much of the movie shirtless and Meraz says a lot of the work for the movie was in the gym.

“The workouts, we called them the three ‘Ps.’ It was protein, push-ups and pushing each other. It’s kind of what we did to get each other through the workouts to get us in shape to do all these shirtless scenes,” he said.

Marc Malkin from E! Online got a chance to talk to Kellan Lutz.

Sure, Kellan Lutz thinks New Moon is a “great” movie, but he’s not afraid to admit he’s more excited by Eclipse.

“Eclipse is a masculine movie,” Lutz says. “I love it. All the stunts I was able to do by myself. It’s an action movie!”

In fact, Lutz thinks the third installment will bring even more new fans to the franchise…

“It’s going to be one of those movies where guys who aren’t fans of the Twilight series but like seeing a good kickass action movie are going to see it. And they’re going to bring their girlfriends who are anti-Twilight because they don’t want to be on that bandwagon,” Lutz explains. “Then they’re going to come and fall in love with it, too.”

Metro Canada talked to some of the cast about ‘New Moon‘.

Now, with the impending release of the Twilight sequel New Moon (opening across North America on Nov. 20), the young cast who make up its motley crew of bloodsuckers, werewolves and victims both willing and unwilling are preparing for even more international exposure.

But, as co-star Jackson Rathbone tells Metro, sometimes the spotlight can be scary.

“During the filming of New Moon, I decided to go across the street from my hotel and get a coffee,” says Rathbone, who reprises his role as the gentle, adoptive undead brother of actor Robert Pattinon’s lead vamp Edward Cullen.

“Suddenly I was cornered by a half dozen paparazzi, then a massive wave of fans came over and demanded autographs. Then, out of nowhere, without saying a word, a woman hands me her two-year-old kid and starts snapping pictures. Here I am looking at this kid and he’s looking at me and neither of us know what’s going on. I felt like chum at a feeding frenzy.”
