New Moon
Gossip (Page 6)

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 ...

Edward Cullen or Jacob Black?

Questions for the ages.

Team Edward or Team Jacob? Choose your side and look cool!

The duds won’t be available for pre-sale until October 1, but this could be your chance to make a passionate, stylish New Moon fashion statement come fall.

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).

Then, if you're fully prepared and emotionally invested, visit the New Moon official site, and waste hours of time that will totally be worth it anyway, by clicking here.

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?

Game on, Robert Pattinson.

Game. On.

In a just-released promotional photo for New Moon, Taylor Lautner poses with his shirt off and a sultry expression on his face.

This picture follows closely on the (hot!!!) heels of a still image from the movie, in which Lautner's Jacob comes ever-so-close to making out with Kristen Stewart's Bella.

Will Pattinson respond to the following pic, along with Lautner's attempt to steal his girl, with a topless shot of himself? Millions of women around the world sure hope so.

So, does this photograph of Lautner sway your mind? Do you think he's hotter than Pattinson? Let us know below.

Who would you rather sleep with?

While fans continue to buzz over the most recently-released photo from New Moon - which posits a lonely Bella next to an amorous Jacob - director Chris Weitz is opening up about the movie.

In a wide-ranging interview with Rotten Tomatoes, Weitz dishes on the film's computer-generated graphics, his favorite scene and more.

Enjoy these excerpts from the discussion:

On implementing special effects: "We are still in the late phases of what Edward looks like when he's hit by sunlight, what the vampires look like when they're hit with sunlight, the diamond effect, and also the hallucinatory effect that Bella has when she hears Edward's voice and she imagines him there."

Chris Weitz directs Kristen Stewart in this scene from New Moon.

On realism of the Volturi: "They're not levitating above the ground, they're not surrounded by mystical auras, they are creatures who actually exist and they're very specific, they're very stylish, they're very elegant, they're very dangerous. Essentially, it's really faithful to the book."

On his favorite scene in the movie: "When Bella goes to try to stop Edward from killing himself. We had a thousand extras in this medieval town square in a hill town in Tuscany, in the most beautiful country on earth, and it was such an extraordinary opportunity to get to work there."

On directing Breaking Dawn: "I think it's really charming that, not having seen New Moon, people would be enthusiastic about me wanting to do Breaking Dawn. I think the proof is in the pudding, and they should see New Moon before they decide if they want me to do anything else to do with their series. But I would hope to earn that kind of rumor."

As production on New Moon wraps up - and every female under the age of 23 counts down until the movie's release date on November 20 - attention is turning to the film's soundtrack.

While fans are buzzing over the possibility that Adam Lambert wants to record a song for it, director Chris Weitz didn't mention the American Idol's name in a recent interview.

Instead, he pointed to a pair of other artists as leading contenders to be featured on the album.

"We are just starting to put together what bands are on the soundtrack, so it's kind of like keeping ten plates spinning at once," Weitz said. "Everything is still kind of up in the air, but I am surprised at some of the bands that have said they're interested... The criterion will still always be what's right for the movie at that given moment, but Thom Yorke is interested; we might, if we're very lucky, get Kings of Leon to do something."

Yorke's band, Radiohead, closed out Twilight with its song "15 Step." Think he'd be a good choice for New Moon?

As you ponder that possibility, browse through an assortment of New Moon movie stills. Enjoy!

This is not the first New Moon photo we've published from the movie, nor will it be the last.

But it might be the most controversial.

In the following shot from the Twilight sequel, Bella and Jacob sit across from each other in the car, recreating one of the most memorable scenes from Stephenie Meyer's novel.

As fans of the series know, Bella (Kristen Stewart) nearly gives into temptation with Jacob (Taylor Lautner). Can you blame the gal? Edward has been absent from her life for awhile at this point.

The New Moon passage this scene is likely based on takes us inside Bella's thought process as she stares into the eyes of the dreamy Jacob Black:

Would it be so wrong to try to make Jacob happy? Even if the love I felt for him was no more than a weak echo of what I was capable of, even if my heart was far away, wandering and grieving after my fickle Romeo, would it be so very wrong?
- New Moon 16:375

Would it be wrong, readers? You tell us.

Are you on Team Edward or Team Jacob?
