Edward’s New Moon Theme Song
May 16, 2009 By 535 Comments
So this week’s music poll is all about Edward! Last week we openned the poll on the ultimate Bella New Moon song and with over 7000 votes in the poll the song on top was Haunted by Kelly Clarkson.Â
So this week I am asking which songs remind you of Edward in New Moon. And I am just going to say this up front Hate Me by Blue October is a given. It won’t be included in the poll just like My Immortal for Bella wasn’t included.Â
So here is what you need to do, leave a comment containing the name of the song you think represents Edward most in New Moon. In order for the song to be considered for the poll please leave a link to the song lyrics or video.Â
Please do not post the lyrics in the comment box. If a post contains full lyrics(anything more than 4 lines) Â it will be deleted.Â
Thanks for undertanding and start posting! Just a reminder this is just for fun and has nothing to do with the New Moon soundtrack in any way.
Here are a few of the ones I think of: I Wish th Best for You by Emerson Hart (for the goodbye scene) Too Late by Fisher (Edward’s overall feelings)

““Oh my God, I have the fingers of it which tremble and the heart which still pounds: we have just learnt on good authority that Robert Pattinson – THE Robert Pattinson who makes turn the heads of all the planet since he showed his fangs in Twilight – Chapter 1 : Fascination – will be in Cannes Tuesday, May
19th!!! With a detour in “Le Grand Journal” on the TV Channel Canal +  and a passage obliged on The Stairs !”

New Moon Trailer Viewing
May 16, 2009 By 138 Comments
The rumor that the New Moon trailer will make its debut attached to the Summit produced, Vanessa Hudgens flick, Bandslam is still making its rounds. When we checked it out, Summit basically said there are no guarantees on that. It’s still way to early to say that for sure.
However it brings up an interesting question. In this article on OnTheFlix, they talk about how a movie like Bandslam could be helped in its ratings by people going to see the movie simply because they want to see the trailer on the big screen.
“They have targeted “Bandslam” because it’s audience will most likely be the same demographics that “New Moon” will have for the most part. Also Summit Entertainment is the movie studio for the “Twilight Saga” films and “Bandslam” so there’s another correlation for you. Basically Summit Entertainment wants to help promote it’s less high profile movie with it’s more high profile movie with the correct demographics so they can in turn make more money on both fronts.”
Now we definitely agree that it makes sense for a movie like Bandslam to have the trailer on it. If you are going for a young teen demographic as a part of your marketing, it’s pretty much a no-brainer. So, it certainly doesn’t hurt Bandslam or New Moon in any way.
On the other hand, do people (in particular women) go to movies these days just to see the trailer of an upcoming film, or do you wait to see it online? Do they do it if it’s a movie they have no desire to see otherwise? Last year at this time the rumors were circulating that the Twilight trailer would be shown in from of Speed Racer (the reality was it was pot luck, some places it was attached some places it wasn’t but you didn’t know that before buying your ticket), and if Speed Racer’s sales totals are any indication it doesn’t look like Twilight gave it any kind of boost.
So here’s the question:
Would you go to see Bandslam just to get a possible glimpse of New Moon?

Gil Birmingham on Facebook
May 16, 2009 By 3 Comments
Gil Birmingham’s management just got in touch to tell us that he launched a Facebook site. We know this will come as a wild surprise, but there are actually other fake site’s out there. So if you want official Gil information, this is where you want to go.
Also, speaking of Gil, Twilighters Anonymous has a new interview with Gill up.
TA.com: Can you tell us what it was like filming New Moon?
GB: New Moon was a tremendous experience for me. It was great to be back working with Rob, Kristen, Taylor and the rest of the cast. With the addition of the werewolf clan cast members, the energy on the set was at a whole new level. Filming New Moon, like Twilight, wasn’t easy. We spent long hours on location, in cold damp weather, sometimes well into the morning. What impressed me the most was the many dedicated fans who camped out in the cold all night while we were on location. They were really amazing!
Check it all out on TA.
Montepulciano Watch
May 15, 2009 By 21 Comments
This just in from Twilighters Italia:
“Apparently the body double of Robert Pattinson for the Italian shootings in Montepulciano was finally chosen (the guy posting in the indicated blog is a journalist) and you’ll find a youtube video of the guy (whose name is Alan Cappelli), who is the protagonist of an Italian TV commercial running on most TV channels these days.
We’ve posted a news about it (in Italian), in which you can find a youtube video of the guy that will play Edward’s body double in the filming, at this link: Alan Cappelli/Robert Pattinson
One guy of our staff was also chosen as a walk-on actor for the shootings, we’re thrilled!
And a hearsay from Italy: it seems like they’re going to shoot one scene inside a building, and probably it’s going to be the one when some tourists get trapped (and killed) into the Volturi palace.
For the square scene, it’s also rumored that there’s going to be something like 1500 walk-on actors involved. Initially, the company that’s managing the casting decided to choose just 500 people, later increasing that number to 800: now, rumors are indicating 1500 people as the final recruiting number.
Here’s the link (in italian): Montepulciano,punto della situazione
