MetroNews Canada New Moon Set Report

MetroNews Canada has post the first of what they are stating is a five part series on a visit to the set of New Moon. It would seem that they were there the day that the crew filmed school exterior shots.

“Young fans surrounding Burnaby Park in Vancouver are the borderline between the real world and the one conjured up by Stephenie Meyer, author of the popular Twilight book series.

Within the lush emerald landscape, Hollywood is hard at work. While caterers are preparing snacks and warm drinks for the 80 teenage extras, director Chris Weitz is preparing to film the first sequence of the day. “Action!” he finally yells, and another long day of shooting begins.”

Before anyone asks, we have not yet heard what date we will be allowed to go live with our set reports.

Charlie Bewley Student Film

Twilight Treasury has found a student film that Charlie Bewley participated in before getting his Hollywood break.

Young Hollywood Awards

Cam Gigandet and Dakota Fanning were both honored at the Young Hollywood Awards. Each year the group recognizes those on the rise.

Cam Gigandet was recognized for his work in Never Back Down and Twilight in the One to Watch category.

Dakota Fanning was recognized in the Hottest Coolest Young Veteran Actress. Kellan Lutz was also on hand to cheer his co-stars on.

There’s a great video interview with Cam on this page (sadly they won’t allow us to embed it). You have to scroll a bit, but there is two minutes of a Cam interview awaiting you if you scroll.

Another vampire role awaits Cam in his not too distant future.

Philly Area Fans Set Those TIVOS

Twilight Saga Stick Figure Style

We just got this email from a Lexiconer.  She and a workmate have this self-described “Simon and Garfunkel” thing going about creating off beat projects.  So, they are doing the Twilight Saga in stick figure storyboards.

Right now they have Twilight and New Moon done, and they have future plans for other books. Go and check out their work.

The Origins of the Spider Monkey line.

One of the most quoted lines of the Twilight movie is the “Hold on tight spider monkey.”  delivered by Robert Pattinson  just before he and Kristen Stewart take off into the trees.  As die hard Twilight fans realize, that line was not in the book.  So, did screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg pen that particular piece of dialogue? The answer is “no”.

Catherine Hardwicke tells MTV,

“I woke up in the middle of the night. I thought, ‘They’re going to be climbing that tree, and they’re not going to have anything to say. It’s just going to be another scene of them looking into each other’s eyes.’ ”

Unfortunately, the Writers’ Strike had begun, and “Twilight” screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg was no longer available to provide dialogue. “So I typed up, like, 10 ideas,” Hardwicke recalled. “And thought, “OK, maybe they could say this …’ “

Peter Facinelli on Chelsea Lately June 2009
