According to a press release issued on Walmart’s Web site, seven minutes of footage from “Eclipse” will be revealed on the upcoming “New Moon” DVD — as long as you purchase it at the retailer and make sure it’s the slightly more-expensive “The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition” DVD or Blu-ray. The movie hits stores March 20.

“With the new movie and 50 minutes of extra footage and interviews, ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition’ also contains an exclusive, seven-minute sneak peek of ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,’ ” the press release boasts. “It begins with an exciting behind-the-scenes look at the production of the newest film. New interviews with stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, as well as with series-creator Stephenie Meyer, are integrated with revealing on-the-set footage of some of the key scenes and sets from the upcoming movie. This first look at ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ concludes with the world premiere of an actual scene from the upcoming film.”

Kristen Stewart was photographed a million times while she had the mullet she got to play Joan Jett in The Runaways. (The last time she was shot before she chopped it? For her Allure cover.) Now, the movie itself is finally here—it played at the Sundance Festival and it will be released in mid-March—and it turns out the dirty-sexy makeup is just as noteworthy as the hair. We talked to makeup department head for the film, Robin Mathews, about the looks she created on Stewart and Dakota Fanning, who plays Jett’s bandmate Cherie Currie. “Joan Jett and Cherie Currie weren’t really into lipstick because it was such a pain in the ass to keep on,” says Mathews, “so the look of The Runaways is all about the eyes.” And though Stewart and Fanning aren’t big makeup girls themselves—“neither of them needs a stitch of makeup” says Mathews—they got so into the characters that they even did what they needed to get the look right. “Sometimes we’d apply Kristen’s eyeliner at night, then she’d sleep in it, and it was in all the right creases in the morning when she came to the set,” says Mathews, who used Make Up For Ever products. “When she’d come in after sleeping in black kohl liner, I’d blend and smudge it out with a brown eye shadow and a small stiff eye shadow brush on the top lid and under the eye.”

Reports everywhere this evening claim “Breaking Dawn” is going to be adapted into two movies.

The official word given to Gossip Cop from a rep for Summit is, “No decision has been made and as we have said all along we are continuing to work with Stephenie Meyer to bring Breaking Dawn to the big screen.”

HOWEVER, a well-placed source tells Gossip Cop dividing Breaking Dawn into two pictures “is the direction that it’s going in.” We’re told that from a practical standpoint, separating the story into two parts and shooting back-to-back is what makes most sense.

Earlier reports seem to be fairly accurate when it comes to timing, specifically, that filming may begin in October.

Gossip Cop will keep you posted when plans are officially finalized.

Thank you GossipCop for the info!

The Twilight car crash scene was certainly one of the more vivid and pertinent scenes of all the book, and the film (with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as “Edward Cullen” and “Bella Swan”) did not neglect to incorporate that moment into the on-screen story between those characters.

It was pivotal to the forward motion of the characters’ relationship, and it was also an exhibition of Edward Cullen’s strength and capability as (then unknown to Bella) a vampire.

Already, that particular scene was chosen as number four on AOL Moviefone’s “Top 25 Movie Moments of the Decade,” and, now, Fandango has selected it as fifth on their “Top 10 Romantic Movie Gestures” list.

Says Fandango, “Ask any girl under the age of 20 (and many older) to name their most romantic movie gesture, and it could very likely be Edward (Robert Pattinson) throwing himself in front of a speeding van to save his one and only Bella (Kristen Stewart). Vampire lore — and box office receipts — would never be the same.”

From MTV:

It’s no new news that Anna Kendrick had mostly slipped under the radar in Hollywood for nearly half her adult life. Before she stole all her scenes in both “Twilight” and “New Moon” and garnered an Oscar nomination for her role in “Up in the Air,” Anna was the third youngest Tony nominee ever and made a name for her quirky humor in “Rocket Science.”

Last summer, Anna was offered a role in an untitled Seth Rogen and James McAvoy comedy for Mandate Pictures, which starts shooting later this month. Mandate gave her the part without even an audition.

“I’m not a really good auditioner, so it took a lot of the load off me,” she told Reuters.

With so much buzz surrounding her now, it’s hard not to see Anna feeling a little unloved by the “Twilight” crowd. Not only did they say she was the “Twilight” actor least likely to win an Oscar (choosing Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson over her, despite her Oscar buzz and now nomination), but her character Jessica Stanley doesn’t have much shelf life beyond the third film, “Eclipse.”

“I honestly feel like Jessica is one of those characters that if she wasn’t in the movie, nobody would miss her,” she said. “At the same time, I feel a certain affection for the films so if they ask me, I would love to. I don’t have my fingers crossed either way.”

She added, “I’ve been really lucky to not be defined completely by that series.”

From E! Online:

Taylor Lautner’s latest project should please fans and detractors alike.

For those who love him, it’s more screen time. And for those who hate him, it’s a chance to see the hunky teen get pulled limb from limb.

The New Moon star has landed yet another muscles-required role, this time that of action hero Stretch Armstrong in an upcoming Universal film based on the Hasbro toy.

Which, by the way, will be shot with that snazzy new 3-D technology.

“In the past two years, Taylor has emerged as a real star at the global box office,” says Universal Pictures cochair Donna Langley. “He brings the perfect balance of energy and athleticism to the role of an unlikely super hero with a fantastic super power. We couldn’t be more pleased that he has agreed to be our Stretch.”

Expect Stretch Armstrong to spring into theaters in 2012.

Hollywood Today posted an article about Ashley’s and Kellan’s new movie ‘Warrior’.

Warrior centers around top ranked west coast high school lacrosse player Conor Sullivan (Lutz), whose world is torn apart when he is forced to relocate to a demanding new prep school where the competition is cut-throat and the rivalry is fierce. When Conor’s father, and most ardent supporter, is tragically killed just weeks after the family’s move, Conor finds emotional refuge in a relationship with his new coach’s daughter Brooklyn, (Greene). The pressure proves too intense and Conor, always a maverick and hothead, starts down a vicious path of self-destruction. He risks everything he loves including Brooklyn and his coveted position on the school lacrosse team. Connor is forced into grueling training in a Native American wilderness lacrosse camp, under the tutelage of his dad’s old combat buddy Sgt. Major Duke Wayne (Beach). This experience opens Conor’s eyes to the true meaning of perseverance, sportsmanship, manhood, and love…”

Gigwise has an article with Muse, where they talk about how “Twilight” helped them to win fans in America.

“I was vaguely aware of the books (before author Stephenie Meyer approached us) but we didn’t think anything of it at the time,” he said.

“The next thing you know, it’s Twilight fever. It’s good because it has made a difference for us in trying to break into America.”

In a little less than two months, “New Moon” hits DVD and Blu-ray. March 20, to be precise. You won’t have to line up that day, however. Not in this age of online retail and pre-orders.

As of this morning, Amazon is offering “New Moon” for pre-order at a price of $21.99 for the two-disc special edition DVD and $24.99 for the Blu-ray. A number of bonus features are listed on the special edition DVD page, though I wonder if it is a complete list. You’ll get an audio commentary with director Chris Weitz and editor Peter Lamber, an hour-long, six-part behind-the-scenes documentary, Muse rehearsal footage and music videos from Death Cab for Cutie, Anya Maria and Mute Math. That’s a decent helping of content, but it seems a little light for two discs, no? Perhaps we can find some clues elsewhere…
