@taryder Kellan just said he loved me…any Emmitt fans out there? The feelings mutual, he’s so hotttt!
@celebuzz Ashley Green looks drop dead gorgeous in a blue and white striped dress
@celebuzz Ashley Greene herself did all of the crazy driving that Alice does between Forks and Italy to save Edward.
@celebuzz I think Catherine [Hardwicke] was thrown into this just as much as the rest of us. – Nikki Reed #newmoon
@celebuzz Nikki thinks Rosalie and Esme tear apart mountain lions together at night (when they aren’t sleeping). #newmoon
Forgot 2 say, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, and Elizabeth Reaser are here 2 represent the Cullen family. Where’s @peterfacinelli ?
@Nikki Reed says theres no mystery anymore about actors. She wouldn’t mind slipping under the radar, but casting depends on exposure.
@taryder Kellan, Ashley, Nikki, and Elizabeth all together….def can tell kellan/ashley are close and nikki/elizabeth are
@answerbitch Ashley Greene says favorite style influences include Audrey Hepburn, Jackie O; says wardrobe took her input on that in re Alice’s style
@taryder They all gave long responses to our question about how they balance letting public know about their private lives and keeping it private
@celebuzz Kellan Lutz : Meeting Michael Bay was so cool.
@theawfultruth gonna say it…Nikki Reed is gorgeous!
@celebuzz Kellan Lutz on getting pale makeup: I didn’t go to the beach that much so I probably saved an hour in the chair. #newmoon
@celebuzz Nikki Reed was obsessed with the Spice Girls when she was little! So cute!!
@elguapo1 #newmoon Cullen’s say the fans are the best
@celebuzz Kellan is obsessed with candy and animals. He went on a safari in Africa and says he can’t go back to a zoo.
@celebuzz Elizabeth Reaser loves True Blood.
#newmoon
@taryder Question they’re all most sick of being asked: “do you know Rob?”
@HitFixDaniel “Do you know Rob Pattinson?” – The unanimous question the other Cullens are sick of answering.
@taryder Elizabeth says Nikki is most maternal on set. They’re for sure the new besties
@celebuzz Question: What do u wish ur character could do? Kellen: Stunts Elizabeth: Have sex Nikki: Smile Ashley: My character does lots of cool stuff
@answerbitch Cullen family presser over; Nikki Reed more maternal than Elizabeth Reaser. #newmoon
RT @HitFixDaniel Pictures do not do Ashley Greene justice. She’s *stunning*.
Volturi
@answerbitch O hai Volturi!
@celebuzz For the Volturi we have Dakota Fanning, Cameron Bright, Jamie Campbell Bower and Michael Sheen.
@celebuzz Jamie Campbell Bower has the HOTTEST accent. Dakota has a bling-y ring in the shape of a cobra. Cute!
@HitFixDaniel Dakota Fanning is wearing a ring featuring a giant cobra. Awwww… She’s all grows up!
@hollyoutbreak: dakota fanning New moon: What was the highligh tplaying jane: The costume and get to play evil charachter
@HitFixDaniel Dakota Fanning enjoyed playing an evil character. Which is odd, because I’ve thought *all* her characters were evil.
@hollyoutbreak Dakot fanning New Moon: finshed filming the eclispe
@celebuzz Michael got Aro’s voice from Stephenies line saying he had a voice like feathers. Thought of ChildCatcher from Chity Chitty Bang Bang.
@HitFixDaniel Ive been observing vampires for sometime now,but I finally got to have my own fangs. But we dont have fangs -Michael Sheen
@celebuzz Michael Sheen: It’s quite thrilling to have Dakota Fanning call you master. #newmoon
@HitFixDaniel “I woudn’t say we’re evil necessarily. We’re the government. Not everybody likes the government.” – Jamie Campbell Bower
@HitFixDaniel “It’s quite thrilling to have Dakota Fanning call you ‘Master.’” – Michael Sheen. Ummm…
@celebuzz Jamie Campbell Bower: I wouldn’t say were evil. We’re the govt and not everyone likes the govt, which is fine. #newmoon
@celebuzz Jamie Campbell Bower: We’re there to keep evry1 in check. Without us it would be cmplte anarchy, Vampire anarchy. #newmoon
@colliderfrosty on stage right now are the volturi. Michael Sheen is just awesome.
@celebuzz If Dakota could have any super power she would want to read peoples minds. Jamie CB would fly. Cameron would want every power.
@HitFixDaniel In real life I would like 2 have the power 2 look like Im three centimeters to right of where I actually am.-Michael Sheen
@celebuzz Michael Sheen would want to appear 3cm to the right of where he actually is.
@celebuzz Dakota Fanning on Jane: She doesn’t use her power for good, which is another thing which is interesting to me.
@celebuzz Dakota on red contacts: Its rly scry. I think it makes ne woman look automaticlly evil. U get used 2 it after a while n u can c pretty good.
@HitFixDaniel “In real life I would like to have the power to look like I’m three centimeters to the right of where I actually am.” Sheen
@taryder Volturi cast up now….they are hilarious!
@celebuzz Michael Sheen’s daighter has Twilight and New Moon posters all over her bedroom. He says she put one pic up of him out of pity. LOL
@HitFixDaniel The awesome Michael S. tells story of being accosted trying on jeans. His daughter is a “Twilight” fan has his picture up.
@celebuzz Dakota Fanning says she is obsessed with baby names, and she loves names in general. Been planning her childrens names since she was 4.
@HitFixDaniel Ive been planning my childrens names since I was four. – Yup. Dakota Fannings all grows up.
@elguapo1 #newmoon The Volturi are up now. Michael Sheen is cracking jokes. Funny guy.
@HitFixDaniel I lose days with my Lucien figure and my Aro figure just fighting… And then they have tea parties. -Sheen
@celebuzz Dakota Fanning got to be a homecoming princess at her high school this fall. #newmoon
@HitFixDaniel “For me, at least, that’s one of the goals as an actor, to have an action figure with a pull-string.” -Cameron Bright
@HitFixDaniel Dakota Fanning would like to emphasize that she was a Homecoming *Princess* not Queen. Shes only a junior.
@celebuzz Dakota Fanning is the only Volturi actor who actually got to film in Italy. The rest of the filming with Volturi was actually in Vancouver!
@HitFixDaniel The awesome Michael Sheen tells a story of being accosted trying on jeans.
Chris Weitz, Melissa Rosenberg, Wyck Godfrey
@celebuzz Sitting down now is Director Chris Weitz, Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, and Producer Wyck Godfrey
@colliderfrosty up next on stage is screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, director Chris Weitz and the producer
@celebuzz Melissa on Taylor: I wish I could take credit 4 when Jacob takes his shirt off, but theyre n the book, and it seemed unwise 2 take them out.
@HitFixDaniel: “They’re in the book and it seemed unwise to leave them out.” -Melissa Rosenberg on the myriad topless scenes.
@HitFixDaniel They cant afford t-shirts given the amount of time they turn into wolves and their shirts burst – Weitz on the Wolfpack
@HitFixDaniel It made sense to be unashamed of the emotionality of the piece. -Weitz.
@HitFixDaniel “It made sense to be unashamed of the emotionality of the piece.” -Weitz.
@HitFixDaniel You dont want too much Edward, because you lose the really important sense of missing him. – Weitz
@celebuzz think the crucial difference b/t the book and the film is that when Bella hallucinates Edward she also sees him. – Chris Weitz #newmoon
@celebuzz Chris Weitz says the way Edward looks during the hallucinations is like a candle flickering. – #newmoon
@colliderfrosty they’re talking about how they kept Rob in movie even though he wasn’t big part of book.effect they did in movie was cool
@HitFixDaniel That was a brief possibility, but I was always convinced that he was going to be able to do it. -Weitz on recasting Taylor
@celebuzz Chris Weitz on Soundtrack: I generally think it’s been one of the best soundtrack albums ever created. #newmoon
@HitFixDaniel I genuinely think its one of the best soundtrack albums thats ever been done. – Weitz. Its very indie.
@HitFixDaniel I hate slo-mo. Normally. But… -Weitz. Theres a *lot* of slo-mo in New Moon.
@colliderfrosty Chris Weitz is talking about the slo mo in the movie and why he used it. Also about being careful not to make Jacob too appealing
@HitFixDaniel “It was simply because she wasn’t available at the time we were set to make the movie.” – Wyck Godfrey on the recasting of Victoria
@celebuzz Producer Wyck Godfrey on Rachelle: It was simply bc she wasn’t available when we were set to film the movie and we found out too late.
@taryder Vampires don’t appeal to Chris its the characters. Especially bella + chance to work with cast especially KStew that made him want to do NM
Wolf Pack
@answerbitch #newmoon Looks like the Wolf Pack is up next. Let’s hope for some shirtlessness and … dammit. They’re all clothed. #newmoon
@celebuzz The Wolfpack is here! Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, Bronson Pelletier, Kiowa Gordon.
@HitFixDaniel I’m afraid I’m not going to be able to identify the individual members of the Wolfpack. I may go radio silent for a bit…
@celebuzz All the boys just started saying “Sexy time!” It’s so true – these guys are HOT!
@celebuzz Alex Meraz – We had about 4 months of training. It’s hard.
@celebuzz These boys are all playing off each other -they really r like brothers. Hard to catch a quote. Chaske is def the leader onscreen and off. ![]()
@celebuzz Alex Meraz – As representatives for Native Americans in this frachise we have responsibility not to be a bad image. #newmoon
@celebuzz Alex Meraz – It’s time for us to change Hollywood’s take on Native Americans.
@celebuzz: Chaske is def the leader onscreen and off. ![]()
@answerbitch Wolf Pack actors reveal the music that helped them get in character: Beastie Boys, natch. Not a joke. #newmoon
@celebuzz The wolves listened to a lot of Beastie Boys and 50 Cent while they worked out together. #newmoon
@HitFixDaniel “We were extinct except for Adam Beach.They were going to put him in the Smithsonian.” wolf on Native Americans Hollywood
@celebuzz Chaske Spencer on the wolfpack: We’re like a rockband. #newmoon
@celebuzz All 4 of the wolves here have tattos that had to be covered. They are thinking about getting the actual Quileute wolfpack tattoo together!
@elguapo1 #newmoon The Wolfpack guys have talked about getting the wolfpack tat a perm one after the films.
@celebuzz The wolves haven’t seen the film yet, they wanted to wait until it was done with the soundtrack added and everything.
@celebuzz While the Cullens are lightened, the wolfpack is actually bronzed and made darker for the film. #newmoon
@celebuzz Chaske Spencer on cold outside while filming – You could cut glass with our nipples.
@celebuzz Alex Meraz on being shirtless – Its like a costume. You wear it, you don it, you own it.
@answerbitch Much talk of nipples at the Wolf Pack conference. They have padded off to dens unknown. Up next: No idea.
