Collider: Chris Weitz New Moon DVD Interview

Frosty from Collider interviewed Chris Weitz on the making of the New Moon DVD.  Now Frosty had a different perspective from most in that he was able to get some early info from Chris back at Comic Con. Check out the interview, it shows how things evolve over time.
“With The Twilight Saga: New Moon hitting DVD and Blu-ray on March 20, I was able to talk with director Chris Weitz about the upcoming release.  When the film was getting ready to hit theaters, I asked Chris Weitz about the eventual DVD release and he told me to expect a commentary from Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner and about ten minutes of deleted scenes.  So when I got the specs of the DVD/Blu-ray and saw there was no commentary and no deleted scenes, I knew this would be the main topic of conversation.  Also, I asked everyone on Twitter to send me questions and a ton of you asked me about the deleted scenes and commentary.
The way Weitz described it to me, the reason you’re not going to be able to hear Kristen, Rob and Taylor is due to time.  When they were recording the commentary, for whatever reason, they couldn’t fit it into the schedule.  I know it sucks for fans that were looking forward to it…but the DVD is due around the time the movie is getting released and that last month is very rough on everyone.”
Check out Chris’ answers to what happened to the actor commentary and where missing scenes may be on Collider.

Director Chris Weitz Reveals Five Secrets About ‘New Moon’

MTV News interviewed director Chris Weitz recently in honor of the New Moon DVD release on March 20.  Chris reveals five thing we didn’t know about New Moon.

Going for the Gold: In “Twilight,” RPattz and the rest of his vegetarian vampire cohorts have gold-colored eyes as a result of abstaining from consuming human blood. For “New Moon,” the vamps’ eyes were clearly more golden. Why’d Weitz have his actors switch to brighter contact lenses?
“It’s a more noticeable gold,” Weitz said. “I thought that in the first film they hadn’t popped quite enough and I wanted to have that sense of otherworldliness carry through more.”
The Silent Vampire: Actress Rachelle Lefevre was notoriously replaced in her role as the vampire Victoria following “New Moon,” with Bryce Dallas Howard taking over the part for “Eclipse.” In “New Moon,” Lefevre is seen but does not speak. Is there a connection between her lack of lines and what happened with the casting decision?

“It wasn’t so much that,” Weitz said. “There was a dialogue scene with her, and eventually that will show up whenever they release deleted scenes. It was one of those scenes that, when you look back at it, it’s kind of a surplus to the whole storytelling requirement of the movie. So there was no ill intent there. I wrote Rachelle and explained why that scene didn’t end up in the film, and in terms of filmmaking I can’t regret it, although I do regret it very much if it hurt Rachelle’s feelings.”

Why So Torn Up, Edward?: At one point in the film, Pattinson’s Edward Cullen appears in a ripped T-shirt, but we never learn why. So … what the heck happened?
“What it’s supposed to be is that he’s essentially been wearing the same clothes for several months, and that eventually they’ve just worn out because, as you I’m sure know, his body is like stone. So he must’ve rubbed up against something and it ripped,” Weitz said.
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.”

Rachelle Lefevre attends Independent Spirit Awards

Friday, the gorgeous Twilight and New Moon star Rachelle Lefevre attended the Independent Spirit Awards in Los Angeles, California.
Via Twitter, Lefevre stated that the "[e]vent was amazing" and that it "made [her] grateful to be in the room with those [people]."
The purpose of the Independent Spirit Awards is "to champion the cause of independent film and support a community of artists who embody diversity, innovation, and uniqueness of vision."
Of course, Lefevre is no stranger to independent film work. When she started with Twilight - like the rest of the first-round cast - it was assumed that project would be independent, and Lefevre only recently filmed Barney's Version.
Lefevre has also exhibited quite the independent spirit by way of her continued involvement in charitable endeavors - ahead of most of her Twilight co-stars in that regard.

No Razzies for 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon,' Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner

'New Moon' - Summit Ent.

A couple of weeks ago, the nominees for this year's satirical Razzie Awards came down and showed The Twilight Saga: New Moon and its cast to be nominated in several categories.
The Razzies - of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation - are purposed at "saluting the worst that Hollywood has to offer each year."  
The Twilight Saga: New Moon was nominated for several Razzies, including "WORST REMAKE, RIP-OFF or SEQUEL," "WORST SCREEN COUPLE of 2009" for "Kristen Stewart & Either Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner, Twilight Saga: New Moon," "WORST SUPPORTING ACTOR OF 2009" for Robert Pattinson, and "WORST SCREENPLAY OF 2009."
New Moon, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner all escaped winning in these categories (one award series that Twilight fans might not be sad to see the franchise lose at), but one person who did win a Razzie was Sandra Bullock (for The Blind Side), and, classy lady that she happens to be, she showed up to accept it herself.
See the full list of Razzie nominations and awards here.

Robert Pattinson Thinks He's Ready for a Baby

As reported by AceShowBiz on March 3rd:

The Edward Cullen of 'Twilight' movie series admits that he loves the idea of becoming a big brother or even having his own child, stating 'I think I'm getting broody'. Robert Pattinson is keen to start a family after his parents and siblings fooled him into thinking his mum was pregnant five years ago. The idea of having a baby brother to look after thrilled the "Twilight" star - but the pregnancy announcement turned out to be nothing but an April Fool's Day prank.

And Pattinson has been keen to become a big brother - or a dad - ever since. He says, "I've always liked the idea of having a younger sibling. My family tricked me about five years ago that my mum was pregnant. I didn't realize it was April Fool's Day!"

"I spent the entire day saying I was gonna have a little brother and told all my friends it was the best thing in my entire life. I carried on for like three days believing it!"

And playing a big brother in his new movie "Remember Me" has only fueled Pattinson's parenting dreams. He adds, "After working on this movie, whenever I see a part now with a younger brother, or a part where I've got a kid... I just love the idea of that. I think I'm getting broody. It's so bizarre."
