'Best fight' for Robert Pattinson and Dakota Fanning, Pattinson versus Rachelle Lefevre?

At this year's MTV Movie Awards, we all know, The Twilight Saga: New Moon star Robert Pattinson and his Twilight co-star Cam Gigandet won the award for "Best Fight" for their vampire-to-vampire show-down in the 2008 film.
Yet, that is not the only fight we're going to see out of Pattinson in the Twilight series.
In The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, we will also get to see some fighting - with his female co-stars Dakota Fanning (co-starring with Kristen Stewart in The Runaways) and Rachelle Lefevre.
In the book, New Moon, Edward and Jane (Fanning's character) have an altercation near the end of the story. While there was no fist-to-fist contact in the book, as there was in Twilight with Gigandet, Pattinson stated in an interview a while back that there would be a lot more fighting in The Twilight Saga: New Moon than we might expect. He was to be thrown around by a lot of people, Fanning included, in this piece of the series.
In Eclipse, too, Pattinson's character has a show-down with a fellow female vampire - Victoria, as portrayed by Rachelle Lefevre. In the book, Edward takes on, with the hand of Seth Clearwater (still un-cast), both Victoria and Riley (still un-cast).
So, will Pattinson take the MTV Movie Awards for "Best Fight" for next year's awards too? The following year's for Eclipse? What do you think? Comment below and let us know!

New Moon Movie vs. Remember Me: Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson Struggling?

Kristen Stewart may be finding Robert Pattinson’s latest movie, Remember Me extra hard to forget. Is this the New Moon movie vs. Remember Me? In early June Kristen’s new beau Rob Pattinson spent the morning making out with his leading lady, Emilie de Ravin, while watching the waves roll in on a deserted beach in New York’s Far Rockaway, Queens.
Even though they were shooting scenes from the romantic drama, “they both seemed to be having a great time and looked genuinely happy to be working together,” says an onlooker. “Emilie and Rob looked really cute!”

The magazine speculates, "Their instant bond is heartbreaking for Kristen, who fell for Rob when they shot Twilight and its sequel, New Moon - and eventually split from her longtime boyfriend Michael Angarano to be with him. “Rob flirted with Kristen when they were filming,” says a Twilight insider, “so she can’t help but wonder what he’s doing with Emilie.”An off-set attraction? The item notes that unfortunately for "Kristen, who’s stuck in LA working on the Joan Jett story The Runaways, Emilie and Robert aren’t just heating things up on set. They’ve become regulars at the Bowery Hotel’s guests-only garden area," the mag claims.”

Mike Welch talkns of Robert Pattinson in interview

As you “Twilight Saga” fans know, Robert Pattinson’s character Edward Cullen is mostly absent from the “New Moon” version in the book. However, recently Mike Welch who plays Mike Newton in “Twilight” and “New Moon”, revealed to MTV how they have been able to include his character in the “New Moon”movie.
He stated, “They figured out a very clever way to get Edward back in the film much more than he is in the book.It’s more of, like, a hallucination kind of thing. It’s tricky.In the book, she just hears his voice. In the film, it’s more of like a hallucination kind of thing. He will be in the movie more than the book for sure. It’s going to be interesting to see. I have no idea. You can sort of picture it reading the script, but I don’t know how they actually went about filming that stuff.”

Robert Pattinson Talks ‘New Moon’ While On Location

Someone got a chance to sit down and talk with “New Moon” and “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson, somewhere. I’m not really sure of the location, but apparently there were a lot of fans around screaming and watching him as he gave this interview.
He talks how he can’t understand how someone could take so many photos of the same thing which is pretty funny. He said that everywhere he goes now, people immediately know who he is,and it still feels sort of strange,but that he’s having to learn how to accept it. Then he talks about how he had so much security at one time ,but that he actually didn’t even need them at the time.
He said Kristen Stewart is really the main character of the film,and that he felt more relaxed filming “New Moon” because he sort of knew how everything was supposed to go on the set. He also reveals that he usually doesn’t have much to say, so he starts stealing what other people have said in past interviews as filler. The video concludes with him explaining when people ask him what the movies the he’s in are about,and how it’s kind of difficult to explain at times.

New Moon makes number one out of top ten selling movie posters

This weeks top ten selling film posters are:
1. Twilight: New Moon
2. Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
3, Terminator: Salvation
4. Star Trek
5. Harry Potter and he Half Blood Prince
6. Up
7. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
8. Hangover
9. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
10. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
It is no surprise that Twilight is at the top of poster sales, considering the success and hype of the film. With a gorgeous young cast, popping dialogue, a love story, suspense and a great script, this series is destined to be a teen classic. Generation X had quite a different type of hit horror series. The slasher films of the eighties lacked the genuine young love aspect and character complexity but the audience filled the theater seats, sequel after sequel nonetheless.
With the exception of other vampire films such as Dracula and Interview With A Vampire, Twilight just may be the first of its kind mixing horror with teen angst and romance. Based on the enormous success of Twilight, the combination of those qualities make a successful formula

Robert Pattinson and the Mystery of the Disappearing Abs

According to an anonymous source who told Star magazine, the six-pack seen on Robert Pattinson is allegedly a byproduct of a team of make up artists who worked with Pattinson, also stating that "Rob is definitely not that in shape. He hates the gym and will never really be a muscle man!" The unnamed Star source goes on to reveal the New Moon production artists used such cinematic trickery as "liquid body paint, shading, and airbrushing" to give Robert Pattinson an appealing tone while the New Moon lighting technicians helped in the Twilight process to enhance "shading and highlights" on the actor's body.
How will this impact the final Twilight result of the upcoming New Moon as a finished final cut? In two words, it won't.
What's our Twilight take on the mystery behind the Robert Pattinson ab related ridiculousness?
First, it's an "anonymous" and unnamed source, which doesn't carry any weight with us since anyone can say anything to anyone and anything can be printed or published online. End of story on that. Second, New Moon is a movie. If Robert Pattinson did need a quick but enhanced Twilight ab fix to get him into on-screen shape, that's what movies do. Third, you don't want to know...

"New Moon" Drama

Drama and backstabbing go hand in hand with success and the cast of New Moon has been blood-thirsty. From romantic confusion to the drive to create a bigger and better sequel to Twilight, nobody's willing to play nice.
In an attempt to attract buzz to the upcoming installment New Moon, the cast has showered new director Chris Weitz with compliments, yet hardly voiced appreciation for Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke who made the first film a blockbuster. Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen says, "When we shot Twilight, it felt like it was an indie. We were racing the clock. Catherine [Hardwicke] was fantastic, but with New Moon it felt like we had more time to play. The atmospheres were different. They were both great...in their own ways. I just think New Moon is going to be incredible." While Facinelli does in fact acknowledge Hardwicke, he assures that the sequel will surpass the original as a result of Weitz.
Similarly, Michael Welch, who plays Mike Newton, discusses the differences between the two directors, clearly favoring Weitz: "When we all got on the set the first day, [Weitz] gave us this packet of 30 to 40 pages of what he wanted the film to look and feel like—how he was going to shoot it, all of that stuff. The thing is, both Chris and Catherine—I don't want to say one is better than the other. They are polar opposites in terms of style. Catherine can only succeed in chaos, really. But Chris is the exact opposite; he's so calm and has all his stuff together. He really made this film great."
In the midst of director comparisons, romantic drama has reached new heights. According to OK! Magazine, Robert Pattinson has given Kristen Stewart an ultimatum: drop your boyfriend Michael Angarano or we're over. Although it seems Angarano and Stewart's romance has fizzled, the couple has yet to call it quits. Meanwhile, Stewart and Pattinson have been getting cozy, even shacking up together in a Hollywood bungalow after the MTV Movie Awards. Pattinson, who is currently stationed in New York filming the indie film Remember Me, is letting matters sit for the time being, allegedly giving Stewart the summer to make up her mind.
With New Moon hitting theaters November 20th, the drama that plagues the Twilight franchise can only increase in the upcoming months. And who knows what the set of Eclipse will have in store?

Robert Pattinson rockets to new horizons after Twilight success

Now that the clamor of the release of the New Moon trailer has settled down a bit, what’s next for Twilight fan favorite Robert Pattinson? Well, to say the least, this shooting star is just beginning to rocket to fame, fortune and worldwide recognition.
Currently, there are rumors that 22-year-old hunky Pattinson may play musician Jeff Buckley in a yet untitled film, but he is up against some pretty tough competition. James Franco seems to be the lead contender to land the part because he has more appeal to serious Buckley fans. Jeff Buckley is the singer-songwriter who became famous for his rendition of Hallelujah, but then tragically drowned I 1997. Whether Pattinson snags the role or not, one thing is certain, this British star who zoomed to worldwide stardom is sure to command better projects and bigger roles. His trek to the moon has just begun.
In the immediate future, Pattinson is all set to star in Remember Me, the story of star-crossed lovers plagued by a family tragedy. The cast is solid with Pierce Bronsan, Chris Cooper and Emilie de Ravin in place to showcase the talents of Pattinson.
New Moon taping has wrapped up, and filming of the third Twilight movie Eclipse is set to begin in August. Yes, Pattinson remains one of Hollywood’s brightest stars, and his potential to achieve superstardom is enormous.

'Twilight' Stars Reveal Key 'New Moon' Scenes

UNIVERSAL CITY, California — It's one of the most anticipated films of 2009 and already has hundreds of fan sites devoted to it. Now, the stars of "New Moon" are revealing details about key scenes from the flick that will surprise even the most die-hard fans.
"There's definitely a difference in scale," marveled Robert Pattinson when we caught up with him recently. "I liked doing 'Twilight,' but it felt very much like an indie movie — and ['New Moon'] definitely feels like it's a big movie."
"Kristen [Stewart] and Taylor [Lautner] had to lobby to get this one scene in the film that wasn't originally in — and I am forever indebted to them for that," revealed Mike Welch, citing a beloved moment from Stephenie Meyer's "New Moon" novel. "There's a scene that's in the book, the three-way date between Jacob and Bella and Mike, where Mike ends up getting sick, and it's just very awkward."
As for how physically ill Welch's Mike Newton gets in the comic-relief scene, he said we shouldn't expect projectile vomit or anything. "We're talking a little bit," he laughed. "A little sick."
"We did a lot of improv on set," Lautner said. "We'd just be in a random forest and, after Jacob transforms [into a wolf], he all of a sudden becomes very agile, and I wanted to show that, because pre-transformation, he's clumsy. But as soon as he transforms, he's agile. So we'd be in a random forest, and I'd be looking around going, 'What can I do to show Jacob's agility in here?'
"Sometimes [director] Chris [Weitz] would be like, 'No, Taylor, we don't want you getting hurt, spraining an ankle,' " Lautner recalled. "But I was like, 'Well, how about I just jump off that and then jump through this?' And he was like, 'All right, give it a shot.' "
The immensely popular "New Moon" trailer gives us a peek at Lautner's athleticism. It also gives us our first look at the infamous birthday scene — a moment that actor Jackson Rathbone had been eager to shoot ever since he landed the role of anguished vampire Jasper Hale.
"He unleashed the madness; it was crazy," Peter Facinelli remembered of the day when Rathbone finally got to display his inner animal and attack Kristen Stewart's Bella. "It took me and Kellan — non-acting — to hold him back."
Elizabeth Reaser also got knocked over during the violent take. "Jasper, played by Jackson Rathbone, kinda loses it when Bella cuts herself," Kellan Lutz recalled. "It's fun to work with your friends and see a side of them that you really don't expect. That's where the acting comes into play. Jackson did an amazing job portraying that scene, and it was fun being my character to try and stop him."
Speaking of favorite scenes, Greene also got to shoot hers — a high-octane moment where Alice Cullen steals a yellow Porsche in Italy. "It was really fun. I worked with a stuntman before actually driving it and learned how to do a bunch of unnecessary things that were fun, like fishtailing, and he was gonna teach me drifting," Greene laughed. "I drove it in a scene and came about 2 inches from the wall!"
"I hate you," a jealous Lutz joked.
"I know," Greene said. "Oh, my gosh — everyone does right now!"
"[The whole film] looks completely different, so it'll be interesting," Pattinson said, looking forward to the November 20 "New Moon" release. "I'm very curious to see what it looks like."

Chris Weitz takes the Twilight helm with New Moon

After the success of Twilight last year, New Moon — the latest film adaptation of Stephanie Meyer’s book series — is one of the most hotly anticipated movies to be released this year. Leading the production is director Chris Weitz, who is taking his first stab at the franchise.
Q. How does it feel to take over directorial duties of such a successful franchise?

A. On the one hand, it’s exciting to take over a successful franchise. On the other, it’s daunting. There are so many fans who have high expectations for this film, but it’s made easy by the fact that I inherited this amazing cast who are certainly very talented. So half of the time, I’m just overjoyed to be a part of this and the other half, I’m nervous that I’m going to be hunted down and killed by a pack of 14-year-old teenage girls in about a year’s time!

Q. What was your reaction when you were first offered the job?

A. I was surprised because it happened very suddenly, and I had a week and a half to decide whether I was gong to do it or not. Then I saw the first film, I saw the case and I thought, 'This is going to be great, actually. Kristen, Rob and Taylor were great' - that’s what convinced me to do it. And I read the book and I thought I saw my way of making a good version of the book. It’s really a question of whether I can do justice to the book and to please the readers. That’s my job. It’s not to run away with it and just do my version of things. It’s to be faithful to their experience of reading it.

Q. “Twilight”, the first installment of the series, received some criticism for not being 100 per cent true to the book. Are you addressing some of these issues?

A. It’s impossible to be completely faithful to every single page of a book because movies don’t have enough time. So you end up cutting things and combining things. But I would say that we’re definitely using the book as our bible. My take on this film is the film is the book and Stephanie Mayer is my main resource for everything in this. I’m constantly checking with her to see if it’s something a character would do or a detail is right. You can never absolutely please everybody but my main intention is to satisfy the fans of the book.

Q. You’re a very visual director. What’s your vision for New Moon?

A. We’ve got an amazing visual effects team. The whole idea is to use the full palette of colors, to have our shadows be very dark and to have our colours be very rich so that we can experience the full range of emotional texture. The idea is that this will look like a Victorian narrative painting in a way, with those medieval jewel-like colours as well as very glossy deep blacks, and for the composition of the frames to be classical. In some ways, this is going to be a rather old-fashioned film. There are elements that incorporate the latest technology and there are things that are very dynamic in the action scenes. But it’s more Dr. Zhivago than Iron Man.

Q. Dr. Zhivago was a romance, much like Twilight…

A. Well, these books are wonderful romances and appeal to people’s sense of their lives and loves. At the same time, they’re also very grand in scope.

Q. Is it a way of aiming at older audiences?

A. I think that would be nice, too. Actually, I think there’s an older audience for the books as well -- which is the hidden demographic that people don’t acknowledge, that people’s mom’s are reading this as well! I want to render a version that satisfies the fans of the book but also appeals to an older audience as well. Alexander Desplats is going to do the music, which is another great thing for me. He’s someone I worked with before. I think he’s immensely talented. So the idea is to make something beautiful.

Q. Is the music very important in this kind of film?

A. It is. The book itself is a very internalized narrative and music can be extraordinarily helpful in conveying those kinds of nuances of emotion which otherwise what you would rely on is voiceover or people flat out stating what they feel, which they never, ever do. So it helps you avoid exposition and it can make it intro a really gorgeous nuanced affair. Films enjoy more senses that almost any other art form, so music is going to play a tremendous role in this.

Q. Could you tell us about New Moon and how it’s different from Twilight?

A. I think we get an opportunity to sort of expand our scope -- from the confines of the forest to Italy. Your sense of mythology of this world is deepened so that the story that underlies what was going on in the first movie becomes more and more clear. And there are a lot of secrets that were set up in the first book and the first movie that come to light in the second movie. So there are a lot of surprises in store.

Q. How do you keep the continuity of the story?

A. Well, we try to maintain a coherence so that nothing seems unrealistic or bizarre. One of the strengths of Stephenie Meyer’s books is that they manage to convey the normalness of people’s lives and the normalness of the main character, and yet feeds on all those supernatural and extraordinary elements. When we go to Italy [to shoot], we are dealing with this 2,000-year-old order of vampires. The key is to cast it and to design it in such a way that it doesn’t fall completely from the story, but it’s a beautiful and intricate part of the whole thing, while at the same time, giving you the sense that you’re opening up to this much bigger world. That part of the story is a reversal of the usual rules. Bella goes to save Edward. It’s not the guy saving the girl; it’s the other way around.

Q. Can you comment on some of your casting choices, like Dakota Fanning?

A. Dakota Fanning is playing Jane, who’s the most dangerous and evil of all of them. And it’s a part where she plays against type because you don’t think of Dakota Fanning as either evil or dangerous. But she’s an extraordinary actress and we’re lucky to have her. Michael Sheen plays the head of the Volturi, who are the law and order of the vampire world. I think he’s an extraordinarily accomplished actor and I just feel, again, fairly fortunate to have someone of his calibre.

Q. What is it about this story that resonates so much with its audience?

A. It deals with emotional occurrences that everyone has gone through. You’ve got all this supernatural stuff, but really what it’s about is falling in love for the first time, losing that love, wondering if you’ll ever be happy again, the restorative power of friendship, having to choose between the guy who seems the right guy or whether you’re going to hold out for the wrong person. This is true of girls, boys, men, women. We’ve all had the experience of falling in love or having unrequited love or being left and feeling miserable and hoping you can get someone back. All these things are universal.

Q. Stephen King wrote in a column that there is no substance, nor emotion in these books, unlike Harry Potter that he loves. What are the qualities of the books in your opinion?

A. The books address the feelings of love and loss that Stephen King isn’t particularly concerned with. (Laughs) I’m not terribly surprised that he says that. I would say, “physician, heal thyself.” Actually, the reason that they’re so successful is that people identify with the main character, with her sense of insecurity, with her sense of being singled out by someone extraordinarily special, with the sense of being broken up with, which is something everyone has experienced unless they are terribly, terribly lucky, and with the deep value of friendship as a way to heal. So I must respectfully disagree with Stephen King. (Laughs)

Q. How would you describe the books to someone who hasn’t read them?

A. I’d say it’s a story about heartbreak and reunion. It’s also a story about humans, vampires and werewolves at the same time. It has these elements which are all about human feelings and then it has elements which are magic, wonder, surprise and suspense.

The actor who became Hollywood's hottest property!

He's the hottest property in Hollywood, is besieged by screaming girls wherever he goes and has a bevy of sexy celeb admirers - but just where did Robert Pattinson come from?
The 23-year-old British heartthrob had his big break in vampire movie 'Twilight', and having signed up to appear in all four of the saga his fame is set to just keep rising.

But just under a year ago, the actor was relatively unheard of. He could pop to the shops without being harassed by hoards of screaming teenage girls.
The sexy Brit first came to global attention as Cedric Diggory in wizard flick 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' in 2005.
But it was 'Twilight' which catapulted him to worldwide fame.
Robert was born on May 13 1986 in London. The handsome youngster gave modelling a go at the tender age of 12 but told 'New York Magazine' it was not for him.
"When I first started I was quite tall and looked like a girl, so I got lots of jobs, because it was during that period where the androgynous look was cool.
"Then, I guess, I became too much of a guy. I had the most unsuccessful modelling career."
The multi-talented Brit then tried his hand at music. He plays the guitar, the piano and writes his own songs, two of which appeared on the ‘Twilight’ soundtrack.
When asked about a professional music career, he said: "Music is my back-up plan if acting fails.”
In November 2008, Pattinson fever exploded when he appeared in vampire movie 'Twilight', based on the best-selling book by Stephenie Meyer.
He played the role of tortured soul and 108-year-old vampire Edward Cullen, who is trapped in the body of a 17-year-old.
The seductive vampire falls for a human girl called Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart, whose blood he thirsts for.
He recently confirmed that he will appear in the next three instalments of the 'Twilight Saga', including 'New Moon' which is currently being filmed, 'Eclipse' and 'Breaking Dawn', much to the delight of his fans.
'Twilight' pulled in a staggering $35.7 million on its opening day and has propelled Robert Pattinson to monumental fame.
Women everywhere can not resist the modest actor, who has said that he finds his new found fame "bizarre".
Although the sexy Brit doesn't have a girlfriend, he has been linked to some of the hottest names in Hollywood, including Megan Fox and Paris Hilton.
There are rumours that he was dating co-star Nikki Reed and that he is romantically linked to on-screen love interest Kristen Stewart.
The actor, who is expected to win the title of 'Most Handsome Man in the World' in a poll for 'Vanity Fair', will probably be sticking around for a few years to come!

New Moon: Michael Sheen Feels Intimidated Being Surrounded By Young Folks

I still maintain that Michael Sheen joining the cast of the Twilight sequel, New Moon, is a weird slash surprising slash thoughtful one. Yeah, he does have that creepy role covered, if you think of the three Underworld films. But it's weird considering how young most of his co-stars are--well, duh, Robert, Kristen and Taylor, not to mention Dakota Fanning, too.I didn't think he was thinking of the same thing, too. "It was quite intimidating being on the set with so many young, beautiful people," he said in an interview with Empire magazine. "That was quite extraordinary being the old, ugly one amongst loads of young, beautiful ones. It's not something I'm used to really. Not because I'm young and beautiful but usually there's loads of old, ugly people around me."

"It was quite encouraging to see how Robert and Kristin are committed to it, how much they put into it and how serious they are about it," he added. "They don't take it lightly at all so that was great to see."He did enjoy working with New Moon director Chris Weitz, though. "It was a really funny set, really relaxed," he said. "We had a lot of things in common, and hopefully we're going to work together again soon doing something. That might be the thing that I direct, I don't know yet, you never know."And then there's the fact that he's playing a pretty small role--relative, at least, to his previous roles (including the attention-grabbing turn in Frost/Nixon) and the enormous fame his co-stars have among the fans. "It was nice to go in and not be playing the main part, just go in for a few days and play this really, really extraordinary character," he said. "I remember I was thinking, 'Oh, there's a bit of a Child Catcher here [from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang]; bit of the Blue Meanie from The Yellow Submarine; bit of Olivier from Richard III.' There was a bit of all kinds of stuff."

Robert Pattinson scenes with Kristen Stewart will 'rip your hearts to shreds,' predicts Twilight werewolf Taylor Lautner

VANCOUVER - The last time we spied Twilight werewolf Taylor Lautner and BFF movie star Selena Gomez, they were sharing some sushi at the Ichiban-Ya restaurant on Thurlow Street in Vancouver.
Of course, the gossip started to heat up: Were the two teen idols canoodling? Apparently not, says the 16-year-old American Latina: "He's one of my good friends," she told online mag Extra. "I'm single - definitely single."
Lautner, 17, plays Jacob in New Moon, which has been shooting in Vancouver where Gomez was acting in Ramona and Beezus.
Meanwhile, Lautner says fans of Twilight vampire Robert Pattinson and onscreen gal pal Kristen Stewart are in for some heavy duty moments when New Moon hits the screens.
Lautner told Access Hollywood that "there is heartbreak and, oh, it's horrible."
The young actor, who has been on an exercise regiment to get into werewolf-style shape, warns fans: "New Moon will rip your heart to shreds. So get ready!"
The actor added that Vancouver's winter, while mild by Canadian standards, still brings on the goosebumps.
"I was shirtless, all I was wearing was shorts. We were in 35-degree (2 C) weather," he told Access Hollywood. "They poured rain on us, which is like ice cold. And the scene was like four minutes long and I'm just sitting there and you can't look cold.
"I'm the only one. I'm just standing there like basically naked with everybody like bundled up in this ice cold weather."

Lo even reminisced about interviewing Robert Pattinson before he became such a big star, lucky girl. Lots more from their interview in the video and after the jump!

# Highlights from the MTV Awards: Lo: "I was excited to see all the Twilight guys and to see the New Moon sneak peek." LC: "Andy Samburg was amazing. He was one of the best hosts I've ever seen. It was good."
# LC on who had the biggest year: "Anyone in Twilight."
# Lo on Robert Pattinson: "I’ve met him. I interviewed him actually at the VMAs last year. I did red carpet for the CBS morning show, so he was one of my interviews. It was before Twilight came out and my editor was talking to me about it and I was like, 'I don’t even know what Twilight is,' and look how he's blown up!"
