New Moon

It may be impossible to top the New Moon sneak peeks revealed at Comic-Con last month.

Though not the highest quality, these videos depicted actual scenes from the upcoming movie, both of which focused on Taylor Lauter and Robert Pattinson with their shirts off. Hubba. Hubba.

But the latest New Moon news is almost just as exciting (read: HOT!): the film studio has released a few new promotional images of Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

In each, the actors are posing in their roles of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, respectively. It's almost as if they're staring directly into your soul. We hope you're sitting down, fans...

Follow this article's jump to check out two more darker, sexier shots of Pattinson and Stewart. November 20 can't come quickly enough, can it?

Guess New Moon viewers will have to settle for Robert Pattinson topless.

Last week, Jamie Campbell-Bower (who portrays Volturi villain Caius) claimed that a new scene was added to the Twlight sequel, one that would depict Volturi members in their birthday suits.

It sounded hot, and a little hard to believe.

Now, director Chris Weitz has released a statement, officially debunking this naked tale:

I would like to put everyone’s mind at rest and let them know that the Volturi are not naked! Jamie has what you might call a dry sense of humor and almost managed to convince me — which is why he’s such a good actor. Be assured that, even though we do want the look of the Volturi to be a bit of a surprise, they are always — as in the book! — fully clothed.

Darn. At least Edward and Bella will heat up the screen many times in the movie. To wit:

In other controversial New Moon news, chime in now on the Rachelle Lefevre firing. Do you think it was uncalled for?

The feud between Rachelle Lefevre and Summit Entertainment is only just beginning.

Rumors of a lawsuit between the actress and the movie studio are brewing, as the former feels like she was unfairly fired from the Twilight Saga.

When asked about the controversial switcheroo (Bryce Dallas Howard will now play Victoria in Eclipse and Breaking Down), Christian Serratos - who portrays Bella friendl Angela Weber in the franchise - said she wasn't pleased with the situation.

“It saddened me to hear about Rachelle and she greatly missed,” Christian Serratos told OK! magazine. ”Although under these circumstances, I am excited to work with Bryce and can’t wait to start filming!”

Fans can't wait to start watching, either. Or will this casting change affect your excitement over Eclipse?

Do you care that Rachelle Lefevre was fired from the Twilight Saga?

What could be better than Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson shirtless?

Nothing.

But a group of hot, completely naked vampires at least comes close.

In an interview with MTV News this week, Jamie Campbell-Bower - who plays Volturi member Caius in New Moon - says a new scene has been added to the movie, one that was never in the book.

"We just all sit there, completely naked, for one scene," said the British actor. "Yeah, it's me, Michael Sheen and Christopher [Heyerdahl]; we just sit there, naked."

The scene in question centers around the back story of the Volturi, as Aro, Caius and Marcus are in a bathhouse, hanging out in a "Roman bath kind of thing," said Campbell-Bower.

It doesn't sound like Pattinson's birthday suit is featured at all in the film. Sorry, ladies. But you can always ask Kristen Stewart what that outfit looks like!

Granted, it might not get more exciting than New Moon clips that feature a shirtless Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson.

But we've uncovered the first picture of the entire Volturi clan, the group of vampires in the sequel that enforce the laws of their unique, dangerous world.

It's already been announced that Noot Seear will portray one of the leaders of the coven, Heidi. 

She's not shown here, but British hottie Jamie Campbell-Bower is freaky in the role of Caius and Dakota Fanning looks positively evil as Jane in the promotional photo below:

The Volturi will make life difficult for Bella in New Moon, which is scheduled for a November 20 release. Can you wait that long for it?

As if Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner sitting next to each other in the same place wasn't enough, Twilight devotees went absolutely crazy when not one but two new clips from New Moon were debuted at Comic-Con yesterday.

Before you watch them, you should be aware of two things:

• Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are both shirtless. This may make it difficult to focus on anything else for the rest of the weekend.
• While the first clip certainly hints at a Bella and Jacob romance, the second clip illustrates her undying love for Edward Cullen, as well.
• The video quality is not great, and the screaming 'tween girls having nervous breakdowns makes some of the audio hard to decipher.

Follow the jump for two exclusive clips from New Moon ...

Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner?

Edward Cullen or Jacob Black?

Questions for the ages.

The exclusive Nordstrom collection of Twilight-inspired fashion, including everything from T-shirts and hoodies to dresses and jewelry, debuted this week.

In the meantime, who would you rather ...

Swoon alert: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner made appearances at San Diego's Comic-Con 2009, hitting the red carpet and a press conference.

While Rob and Kristen appeared a little cold towards each other at first, an eyewitness tells OK! the twosome warmed up as they answered questions about the film.

Sure they did.

Robsten "had their guard up," says the onlooker, but body language doesn’t lie - when asked about their chemistry, Rob blushed and a smile lit Kristen’s face.

We are totally just moments away from Kristen seducing him.

Here's a New Moon Comic-Con photo of the three stars ...

As the the mood lightened, Kristen’s attitude towards both Robert and Taylor “was very playful.” The two studs then made faces at each other. Like, OMG!!

While recent tabloid reports have been dominated by stories about Kristen and Rob and how he "really wants her," today's press conference focused on the film.

Interestingly enough, when asked to describe his favorite scene, Robert Pattinson picked one of the saddest - New Moon spoiler alert! - when Edward leaves Bella.

“I think my breakup scene was my favorite scene,” he revealed. “Hopefully it will come off as having quite a few more levels than the relationship in Twilight.”

New Moon: Comic-Con 2009

Vampires. Werewolves. Taylor Lautner shirtless. The official New Moon movie website has it all, and it has just been launched for your viewing pleasure.

It is filled with a New Moon video clip, movie stills, character bios, photos and wallpaper - more than enough to satisfy even the most bloodthirsty fans.

That was a bit of a play on words, get it?

Here's a look at one of the introductory screens, which invites you to choose one of two sub-destinations, the official site or the World of Twilight ...

About the only thing missing is Robert Pattinson gossip. That you can read 24/7 at The Hollywood Gossip as he seeks or breaks up with a different girlfriend hourly.

Check out some more images from the site below (consider yourself warned, these may contain New Moon spoilers to those unfamiliar with the series' plot details).

First, Xavier Samuel. Now, Noot Seear.

The Twilight family continues to grow.

Seear, a Canadian model with no real acting experience, has been cast in New Moon. She'll play the role of Heidi, a villianess Volturi vampire who seduces human prey.

By the looks of her, this shouldn't be a problem.

Look out, humans. Noot Seear is out to seduce us all!

Said director Chris Weitz of the casting:

“We wanted someone who had an unearthly and unlikely beauty, but could also convey humor and menace. It’s rare to find a stunningly attractive person who also happens to have the ability to act.”

But is the model - who has posed for Calvin Klein and Alexander Wang, among other major brands - even familiar with the Twilight Saga?

"I started reading the books and I couldn't put them down," she said. "I've always been biting at the bit to get into the industry... what makes acting different is that you get a voice. You're not just a picture."

Based on her pictures, though, Kristen Stewart might need to worry. Will Robert Pattinson have the willpower to deny this beauty?
