Right now Stephenie Meyer’s site is reporting that they have a new server (Welcome to the upgrade your server club, Seth. We understand your pain!) because, "So, hypothetically speaking, if we were to announce several of the actors that are part of the cast of Twilight the movie in the next few days, there shouldn’t be any problems with getting on the site and viewing their official photos." Now I don’t know about the rest of you, but that sounds like a "So be sure to check the RSS feed" to me! 
Also, on the Breaking Dawn press release page (thanks to multiple people who pointed this out) they are referring to December 12, 2008 (yes we know that is 10 months after filming begins and yes it seems like a really short turn around time to us too) as the release date of the film. This has also been up on the IMDB for awhile. Before anyone plans a a movie get together give it a couple of months. Past experience in with the Harry Potter movies has proven that sometimes for various PR reasons they change release dates by a week or two. Usually things stabilize around four to five months ahead of time, but studios can decide to change dates for any number of reasons.
Lastly since there seem to be two major questions of the hour (at least it’s what is taking over our inbox), here is my two cents:
Question: Are you guys worried that they are adding other characters?
Answer: "No one knows the names of the other guys on the police force but obviously they exist. I’m sure there are even more than 10 named students attending Forks HS, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the town gas station attendant where Bella gases her truck has a name.
Movies are a visual medium. They need to add/delete characters for Bella to talk to to advance the plot. The whole movie can’t be a voice over happening in Bella’s head.
The added characters (so far a waitress and a guy on the force) seem to be minor roles that will advance the plot."
Question: "What about them changing the name of the Bio teacher, or changing the ethnicity of Bella’s classmates? Isn’t this going to ruin the movie?"
Answer: "I’m not really following the logic here. The bio teacher being a bit of a "tree hugger" and Bella’s friends being multicultural significantly changes the Bella/Edward romance/mystique storyline how exactly? "
And yes, we still are getting e-mails from people who seem to think we are Stephenie Meyer, that we can cast them, and/or that Stephenie Meyer controls the casting of this movie.
