FEARNet Exclusive: Melissa Rosenberg on 'New Moon,' Edward's Proposal, & 'Breaking Dawn'

04 Nov 2009

FEARNet has done an exclusive interview with screen writed Melissa Rosenberg:

Have you seen the final cut of New Moon yet?

I saw an early cut of it, yeah. Some of the special effects weren’t there, stuff like that. But I have to tell you, it’s funny because for writers, and for me – I often will dread a director’s cut. As a writer, you have already seen the movie in your head. And the movie in your head costs a gazillion dollars; you can’t actually make the movie in your head, but you’ve seen it. And so, a director’s cut is almost always a disappointment because it’s not what you’ve seen in your head. It can be a major adjustment, it’s not what's in my head but this one’s different, but as good.

When I saw Chris’s cut, about ten minutes into the movie I started smiling. I thought to myself, I get to put my name on this. It was just so thrilling. It’s really good. I have to tell you, in all sincerity, it’s really good.

I saw you last on a set visit to New Moon’s Vancouver stages, and you had just arrived to watch the dailies. You seemed really pleased with what you were seeing from the Volturi scenes in particular.

Yes, and that was on a sound stage. The big screen version really lives up to it. It just looks lush and beautiful; it looks like a big movie. And the budget didn’t increase that significantly. Harry Potter budgets are what, $150-200 million? This is half of that, at least.

'New Moon' Actor Justin Chon Is Dying To Meet His New Co-Stars

04 Nov 2009

'I'm always in Forks,' he says of missing out on the Volturi scenes in Italy.

On November 20, millions of Twilighters will pack movie theaters worldwide, eager to see "New Moon" and meet the actors who will portray Volturi vampires, werewolves and other newcomers to the franchise. And, in a cast as huge as the "Twilight Saga," some of the actors are looking forward to those introductions as well.

"The cast is so big now," said Justin Chon, who plays "human" Eric Yorkie. "Seriously, it's like an army. You really don't get to meet everyone.

"The premiere is going to be wild; it's gonna be a zoo," he laughed, sounding for a minute like a super-fan. "I want to meet Michael Sheen!"

'New Moon' Stars Answer Your Questions About Stephenie Meyer, Onesies

04 Nov 2009

Kellan Lutz tries to sneak in some Cullen love; plus Jamie Campbell Bower and Edi Gathegi.

When you think about "Twilight" and the soon-to-release "New Moon," there are plenty of words that come to mind — but they probably don't include "big hugs" and "sexual white chocolate." Well, that's about to change.

As we continue this week's "New Moon" Stars Answer Fans' Burning Questions, a Cullen, a Volturi leader and a nomad take the spotlight, answering queries straight from the lips of Twilighters. Read on for some revealing answers, as well as a good laugh.

Jamie Campbell Bower
Q: Have you been able to meet Stephenie Meyer yet?

Campbell Bower: Yes, she's fantastic. She's really lovely. I got to meet with her a couple of days before we started filming and spoke to her about the characters and stuff.

MTV: What kind of notes did she have for you?

Campbell Bower: [We spoke about] this idea that [the Volturi] are fairly cultured and very civilized. They've been around for 2,000 years, and [Caius] has got this deep-rooted anger in him. That was about it. I mean, we literally just sat down. She didn't give me any specific notes and such.

Ashley Greene: ‘New Moon’ ‘Is More Guy-Friendly’

02 Nov 2009

LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- Is the romantic supernatural drama of “The Twilight Saga” just for girls? Not according to series star Ashley Greene.

The second film in the series, “New Moon,” “is a little more guy-friendly,” she told People. “It’s a lot more action packed.”

Appearing at TAO Las Vegas with co-star Kellan Lutz to host the Yelloween party, the star said that the addition of the wolf pack — including Taylor Lautner’s Jacob Black — created an element of comedy.

“The wolves are funny,” she said. “They’re a threat and a danger to our family but they’re also protecting this person that we all love — so we kind of have to get along with them.”

While the movie may be heavier on the action, she said fans of the series’ vampire-wolf love triangle wouldn’t be disappointed.

“Edward kind of breaks Bella’s heart, so you definitely see Jacob kind of swoop in to rescue her,” Ashley said. “You get to see their chemistry and dynamic. It keeps you on the edge of your seat a little bit more than the first one… this one is kind of more about heartbreak and healing.”

And though she was proud of the new movie, Ashley — dressed as a peacock — said Halloween was a welcome way to dress as something different for once.

“Don’t get me wrong, I love the costume – but every day for two hours, it wears on you a little bit,” she said.

“New Moon” is due in theaters on November 20.

Twilight Watch: A Conversation With Kellan Lutz

02 Nov 2009

The other week we posted an interview with Peter Facinelli through Vanity Fair, but now they also have an interview with Kellan Lutz:

What’s the one thing that has changed in your life since Twilight came out?

I’ve never been so busy in my life. I’ve never gotten my frequent flyer miles so high that I feel like I can travel around the world for free. I’ve been on a plane every weekend trying to come back to L.A. to see my dog. I feel like I’ve been so blessed to be working, but everything I shoot is out of L.A., so I don’t really have too much time to spend with my number one love: my puppy. (She’s not really a puppy—she’s five—but she’s close to my heart.) We have so much press stuff that we get to do—I love doing the conventions and meeting the fans. November’s going to be pretty crazy, what with being on a plane every day, landing, appearances, flying to another city that night … It’s a roller coaster.

How do you guys cope with all of this?

We all have our passions that we enjoy. Rob and Jackson will bring their guitars everywhere. As long as you have that passion where you can just disappear and be normal, feel normal, bring your iPod or favorite books, and just do the things that you would do when Twilight wasn’t around—that’s all keeping us who we are. We’re all really blessed, and we’re humble and down to earth, anyway.

'New Moon' Stars Answer Your Questions -- Except 'Boxers Or Briefs'

31 Oct 2009

Kellan Lutz has gotten that uncomfortable interview question one too many times; plus Nikki Reed and Edi Gathegi.

A year ago at this time, Twilighters all over the world were counting down the days until they could finally see Edward and Bella on the big screen. And one of their favorite time-passers was a series we ran called "Twilight Stars Answer Fans' Burning Questions." Now, with "New Moon" just around the corner, it's time to reignite the flame.

Once again, we've taken the questions that fans posted on MTV.com, the MTV Movies Blog and Hollywood Crush straight to the "Twilight Saga" stars. Some are serious, some are funny, and more than a few are, well, perhaps a bit too personal. But, once again, Stephenie Meyer's brave thespians have risen to the challenge with honesty and openness and reminded us why the fanbase loves them so much.

So read on — and then feel free to post more of your "burning questions" in the comments section below as we'll have plenty more "New Moon" interviews in the coming weeks!

Dakota Fanning Has 'More Fun' Being the Bad Girl

31 Oct 2009

From child star to vicious bloodsucker -- Dakota Fanning has transformed into the baddest newbie in "New Moon" and she loved every second of it.

"I think it's more fun to play a bad person than a good person," Dakota admits of her character Jane, a member of the evil Volturi vampire clan. "She almost blows your mind how evil she is."

"Extra" caught up with the 15-year-old while hosted the Style Savvy for DS or DSi launch party with Rachel Zoe in L.A. The game releases Nov. 2.

Fanning wore red contacts and white powder in the film. "I thought I was pale before I did the movie, but I realized that I'm not!" Dakota jokes.

Like Dakota, vampire Robert Pattinson kept his skin fair for the shooting of the movie -- and tells "Extra" he thinks it's funny that his pale disposition, once considered sickly, makes girls swoon. "It's funny. People were like, 'He looks like a junkie.' And now, 'Oh, he's so good looking!'"

Rob, 23, still isn't completely comfortable with life in the spotlight. "I get nervous about everything. I get nervous about leaving the house!" Anonymity for the rising star is no longer an option. "Now I know it's too late to change my name. I really wanted to change my name to have a stage name. Now if I change it, I just look really lame."

Taylor Lautner can relate to Rob's feeling about fame. "Oh man, it's so embarrassing," he tells "Extra," laughing.
