A Twilight Saga Fansite
Billy Burke’s IPhone app has finally been launched. Rob Defraco’s 211 Me is the outlet that designed it. Rob is the guy who made the infamous Twitter bet with Peter Facinelli and then did the resulting bikini dance down Hollywood Blvd.
Billy’s app is pretty much set up the way Peter’s is. Some of the cool content includes exclusive photos, messages, and a locator of important locations in Billy’s life.
Hollywood.com decided to do something interesting with their New Moon set visit. They broke it down into a list of 15 things that they noticed about Robert Pattinson while there. We loved this one the most:
“2. Like the rest of the cast, Pattinson’s canvas director’s chair had his character’s name (that would be “Edward Cullen”) embroidered on the backrest. On Robert’s chair, however, “Edward Cullen” was covered with yellow tape, on which “ROBERT” was written in bold black marker. Seems our fantasy boy likes to keep things “real.”

Hit Fix, Rotten Tomatoes, and several other mainstream entertainment websites had a fantastic interview with New Moon director Chris Weitz. They did an awesome job, asking some in depth questions.
Kudos to Greg from Hit Fix for bullet pointing out the key areas. Just some of the areas the interview covers:
*Even Weitz was surprised with how quickly Phil Tippet’s company turned around the Jacob wolf shot at the end of the first teaser trailer. The shot has gone through numerous iterations and is much more photorealistic than that version.
*He’ll be submitting a director’s cut of the film to Summit within the next two weeks.
*Alexandre Desplat is currently working on the movie’s score. It may include hints at Carter Burwell’s original “Twilight” theme, but will sound different.
*Thom Yorke and Kings of Leon are interested in contributing to the film’s soundtrack.
*A couple of new scenes from the film will be shown during the “New Moon” Comic-Con panel on Friday, July 25. NOTE THIS IS HIT FIX’S ERROR, panel on Thursday!
*The movie within a movie, “Facepunch,” will only be heard — not seen.
*Shooting in Italy with all of the fans that trekked across Europe to see the production was like Beatlemania.
*His vision of the Volturi is very much like the book and unlike a number of fan inspirations that have hit the web. He also sees them as having gone slightly insane after living for 2,000 years.
*He’s met with David Slade and expects the filmmaker’s vision for “Eclipse” to be different than what he’s doing with “New Moon,” but with the same actors and visual effects team.
*He’s flattered that fans want him to direct “Breaking Dawn” without seeing “New Moon,” but thinks the fans will want Slade to do it by the time “Eclipse comes out.
*Weitz needs to turn the film in by Oct. 30 to strike prints or if not, they are in “big trouble” to make the release date.

The band members of Meese are Twilight fans. They got the surprise of their lives the other night when Stephenie was at their Phoenix show.
“we’re playing our first show with The Fray in Phoenix two nights ago…when all of a sudden some says in passing really nonchalant “Yeah, the Twilight author, Stephenie Meyer is gonna be here tonight”. Then I had this split second indecision of “Should I try to play it cool and act like I meet super famous genius writers all the time? OR should I flip out and tell her what a big fan I am and get my picture taken with her?”… Stephenie was AWESOME. We got to hang out and chatted for a while! If it wasn’t for the fact that we had to go on stage to play, I probably would’ve tried to talk to her all night.”
The whole encounter is here on the Meese website. Also check out their music. Via Twilighters Anonymous
The LA Times describes behind the scenes shooting New Moon:
“Robert Pattinson is having an Obi-Wan Kenobi moment. Inside a soundstage where “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” is shooting, the lanky English heartthrob stands in front of a tall, wide green screen murmuring a tender admonition, “You promised me nothing reckless.” Motion capture cameras hurtle toward him across a length of track affixed to the stage floor, while a team of technicians studies his stance and the tilt of his head.
Kellan Lutz frequently speaks about how proud he was of his work on Generation Kill. The reason his hair is so short in the Twilight movies is because it had been buzz cut for his character in Generation Kill. Well Kellan now has a reason to be even more proud because the series has been nominated for an Emmy Award.
According to their PR kit: “Fused with camaraderie, faith and fury, Generation Kill brings a gritty, raw and brutally honest insider’s look at what has become of our contemporary American war. Based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Evan Wright, an embedded journalist working for Rolling Stone who rode alongside the Marines during the spring of 2003…”
Kellan played Corporal Jason Lilley in the series.
TY to ramel for the heads up. You can see Generation Kill on DVD.
If you emailed us somehting in the last 24 hours and we haven’t responded, could you please resend it. A huge portion of our emails suddenly started going to the spam box. We think we fixed the error, but in case we missed something, please resend anything you had wanted brought to our attention!
Our apologies, we think the heads up on this came from either Cullen Boys or Peace, Love, Twilight(we’ve had a hell of a morning with the majority of our emails going to spam, we just fixed it). Anyway, Kellan Lutz shared some of his workout routine with fans at the Creation Entertainment’s TwiTour. Pel was sitting about 25 feet away on the floor when Kellan did the push-ups. Let us tell you the whole place was shaking, and the fan screams rivaled those usually reserved for Rob.

The Florida Sun Sentinel has an article on what it was like behind the scenes on New Moon.
Chris Weitz explained how he made the actors comfortable with his style and the script. “I promised the actors that no matter what, we would have time to discuss every single line,” Weitz explains. “There was a line that he felt was repetitive, and Rob wasn’t feeling where he was in the scene. We worked it out and came up with some alternate dialogue. I can work on the fly a bit because I’m a writer-director, which is helpful. I don’t feel stuck or panicky when an actor is not down with a particular piece of dialogue.”
