'New Moon' Co-Stars Grow Up and Rock Out

"Twilight" stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning have legions of screaming tweenaged fans who will forever identify them as Bella and Jane. But in their latest effort, they leave the world of chaste longing and sparkly vampires far behind. In "The Runaways," they rock out.

The movie, based on the book "Neon Angel: The Cherie Currie Story," is both a rock 'n roll coming of age story and an unvarnished look at what the titular all-girl proto-punk band went through during their brief brush with fame. Fanning is Currie while Kristen Stewart plays Joan Jett. And as you can see from the trailer, they command the stage like naturals.

To prepare for her role, Dakota learned to sing -- that's actually her singing "Cherry Bomb" in the new trailer -- while Kristen Stewart learned guitar moves from Jett. Both actors reportedly had time to spend with the rock gods. Kristen recalled the time with reporters during Sundance.
"[It] was so nice," Stewart said, "because they were actually not just open to any actor who might be playing them. But we really liked each other. Like, instantly ... the four of us were pretty, you know ... there was just something really special and it was cool."
So what does Currie think of the movie? "The actors are amazing," she said during a post-screening Q&A session. "Every time I see it, I like it better."
The movie opens March 19.

Chris Interview

Collider has an interview with Chris Weitz.
Read the entire interview here.

Now that you’re removed from the whirlwind of making the film, I’m sure that a lot of fans know what you look like now based on interviews and whatever else. What’s the one thing that people always or the one thing that fans have said to you about the film or what have they always wanted to talk to you about now that everyone’s seen it?
Chris: Well, of course everyone wants to meet Rob or Taylor! (laughter) And they’re under the impression that I’m always hanging out with them and I wish that I was so cool! That’s, I’m sure, in the foremost of people’s minds. But mostly they, I think, have expressed appreciation that movie is treated in the spirit of the books. And I’ve felt very supported in that regard. But I must say you’d be surprised at how unrecognizable I become when I’m not standing directly next to Kristen, Rob or Taylor! So, you know, I am incredibly non-descript in that regard.

New Interview With Peter Facinelli — Does He Think the ‘Twilight Saga’ is Too Naughty?

Marc Malkin recently interview Eclipse Vampire Peter Facinelli (aka Carlisle Cullen)at the the Milk and Bookies fundraiser that Peter attended with his family.
In the interview Peter talks about Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. He also explains why he has not let his oldest daughter, Fiona, read the whole Twilight Saga -

“It’s a very thick book. I think that two movies would be a good thing for the franchise. I support it, but ultimately it’s up to what Summit decides,” Peter chatted, though he seemed to pick his words very carefully.
“I’m having a great time with the franchise, so if we get to do two more that would be fun.”
“The battle in Eclipse was superfun. We got to do a lot of fight training and choreography, and I’m looking forward to the fans seeing that. They get to see the Cullens in a way they’ve never seen them before,” the star mysterious teased.
Peter was proud to boast of his stunt work too, claiming, “I tried to do as much as I could, or as much as they allowed me to do. If I didn’t go home with a bruise, I didn’t feel like I put in a good day’s work.”

When we brought up the Twilight franchise, Peter told us “Well my 12-year-old has read the first two for sure.” And Jennie quickly chimed in: “But that’s it!”
Do the Facinelli parents think the series is too racy for tweens? Seems so! We asked if the couple thought the much-talked-about fourth book was too naughty, and Jennie, who was only half listening as she cuddled and kissed her youngest daughter Fiona, turned to me and blurted “Yeah!”
“I got to spread them out. Let her get old enough to read the other two. I think I would let her read the third one though when she hits 13 for sure,” Peter confessed.

Peter and Jennie are awesome parents.

Indonesian Twilighters/Twilight Nusantara Support Local Orphanage

We tend to hear a lot about the outreach of Twilight fans in the USA and Canada. Well, helping others knows no geographic boundaries as these Indonesian Twilighters wrote in to tell us.
“Twihards just wanna share with you. I’m one of Twimoms (remember the Rob cookies?) and few members of Indonesian twilighters/Twilight Nusantara (http://twitter.Twilight_Nusa) went to foster home for toddler called Tunas Bangsa. This is one of our twilight agendas besides gathering & any other our twi-related activities. We’ve managed to donate some money and brought needs for them such as: milk, baby clothes, blanket, toys, pampers. The orphans consist of 60 toddlers from newborn to 5 years old. The orphanage has 3 separate rooms for: newborn, baby & toddler. I can’t tell how the kids were so excited when they got all these toys & goody bags. Hopefully, our little help can brighter their days & make them smile.    More pics : http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=124225&id=728897705“

MTV: 5 Secrets of New Moon

MTV interviewed Chris Weitz by phone for the New Moon DVD release. You can see part of the interview below. Please be advised that the video on the same page was shot several months prior to the DVD commentary track being recorded and the the information in there is not current!

“Our Lord?: In its Italian-set portions, “New Moon” features a significant amount of religious iconography, and Edward certainly suffers a great deal. Is he supposed to be a Christ figure?

“I think that he is in a sense he’s doomed to suffer eternally,” Weitz said. “He actually thinks of himself as a damned figure, but he’s wrong about that. So in some senses, yeah, he is a martyr figure.”

Black Eyes: In Stephenie Meyer’s book, Edward’s eyes go black in Italy. Why don’t his eyes turn in the film?

“It’s because I screwed up!” Weitz admitted.

Really? He just forgot?

“Well, yeah, I kinda did,” he said. “Well, there are two reasons. One is that I messed up. The other reason is that I actually thought that onscreen it would be quite bizarre to see his eyes go completely black, and that it would be more satisfying and less jarring to have that moment of reunion be a reunion with revivified Edward. But probably, the long and the short of it, there are many details that I did not drop the ball on, and there are some that I did.”

Madame Tussauds To Unveil Wax Robert Pattinson in NYC and London

This just in from The Madame Tussauds PR Team
“Madame Tussauds New York today released photos of a clay head mold of Hollywood heartthrob Robert Pattinson (or R-Pattz, as his loyal legion of admirers call him). The famed Times Square wax attraction also announced that Pattinson’s completed figure will be unveiled on March 25, 2010, and that R-Pattz’s biggest fans will be invited to be part of the debut event.
The clay head mold represents a crucial step in the up to six month-long figure creation process. A team of studio artists at Madame Tussauds have been studying hundreds of photos and pouring through hours of video to ensure that they capture R-Pattz’s trademark sultry expression and inimitable style. The artists are also working double-time to create not one, but two wax likenesses of Pattinson – one for Madame Tussauds New York and one for Madame Tussauds London.
“Since the release of Twilight, we have been inundated with requests for a figure of Robert Pattinson and are thrilled that in just a few weeks, his figure will officially be part of Madame Tussauds New York. It comes at the perfect time with his next film, Remember Me, expected to light up the box office throughout the month of March,” said Janine DiGioacchino, General Manager of Madame Tussauds New York and Washington D.C.
When Pattinson’s figure is unveiled on March 25, the Twilight star will join the likes of Hollywood leading men Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Craig, Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Will Smith and Sean “Diddy” Combs – all of whom have been immortalized in wax by Madame Tussauds New York. Visitors will be able to cozy up with Pattinson’s figure for a photo or even a hug.
Fans who wish to attend the launch of Pattinson’s figure at Madame Tussauds New York should visit www.nycwax.com beginning March 11 for details about how to be part of the R-Pattz fandemonium.“

IESB: Peter Facinelli Part one, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn and More

IESB sat down with Peter facinelli to discuss his acting future.
“IESB: David Slade, how was he on set? Every director seems to bring something a little different to the franchise, how different was Slade, considering he knows the vampire genre.
PF: I thought he was a great fit for what they were going for. Every movie has had a little bit of different energy, I think the director sets the tone and David brought a great quality to it, it has a lot more action and I think he understands the action elements to it as well as the love story. There is a lot going on in that book and I was glad he was at the helm.
IESB: Do these events ever get tiring, I don’t mean in a bad way but Comic-con and different events all over the world, does it get a little like, “Wow, there is too much for me to do!”
PF: No, I mean it would be a lot more work this morning if nobody showed up (laughing), so the fact that people are interested and people are willing to take the time to come out to come out and support something that I think is important and also to come out and meet me, I’m always grateful for.
IESB: As an artist are you looking to break off and do a different role now?
PF: I’ve been working for 15 years so I don’t feel like the Twilight movies define me as a person, I am very grateful to have it as part of my career. I’m also currently on Nurse Jackie with Edie Falco which is a total 180 degree turn from this so for me I’ve, throughout these 15 years, have tried to play different characters and every time my agents say, “What do you want to do next?” I say, “Anything I haven’t done before.”

IESB: Chris Weitz New Moon DVD Interview

Once again Christina Radish proves why she is one of the best interviewers out their: insightful questions that demonstrate her knowledge of the product!
“IESB: Were there any specific parts of the film that you were most looking forward to talking about for the commentary?
Chris: I was very happy to talk about some of the more complicated shots that we did, like the roundy-round shot. That was a bit in which we took what was a series of chapter headings in the book and turned it into a motion-control shot in which the seasons passed as Kristen Stewart’s character, Bella, remained in the same place. What I like to do with CG is to use it as expressively as possible, and not to make things blow up good, but to sometimes render something ineffable that would be very difficult to do in camera. That involved a lot of work, in which a motion-control camera captured the movement of our steady-cam operator. So, it was a pleasure to talk about that, and about what goes into something like that.
IESB: Having had to deal with stunts, green screen, CGI, weather, bugs and everything you had going on, what was the biggest challenge in bringing this film to the screen, so as to please as many of the fans as possible?
Chris: I think the greatest challenge was the logistical load of it. When you’re talking about taking a film from beginning to end in one year, it’s difficult to do that with a normal film where people are just sitting on their butts, talking to one another. But, when you add in underwater work, heavy CGI work and wire work, it becomes extraordinarily complicated. And then, you add in getting the London Symphony Orchestra to record a soundtrack, and getting 10 or so indie bands to compose songs especially for the film, there are a lot of timelines that are ticking along, at the same time, and you hope that you are able to combine it all at the right point. And, you always end up, just at the last minute, on the last day, your final CGI shot comes in. There are about 400 and something CGI shots, which actually isn’t that many compared to what I’ve done before, but it’s quite a lot. It can complicate things when you’re in the editing room.”
