Eclipse casting headlines have been dominating the news so much over the last week (with John Huston and Catalina Sandino Moreno as the latest to join the film) that it’s easy to forget:
New Moon is actually the next movie in the Twilight Saga to hit theaters. It will be released on November 20.
Fans will be reminded of that when they see the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly: Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner grace the cover.
The pair’s characters grow quite close in the Twilight sequel, of course, which Robert Pattinson told the magazine was fine with him: “It was a stress-free job for three months. All the pressure was on Taylor.”
Inside the issue, Kristen and Taylor dish on a number of New Moon secrets. For example:
Stewart, on Lautner almost being replaced as Jacob: “I knew he had [to do] it. Just because of how I felt around him… We have that [BFF] relationship. It’s lamely cute.”
Lautner, on bulking up for his increased role: “My body fat got so low that we actually needed to increase it a little bit. My trainer would be like, ‘Go have a huge milk shake just so I can get a thousand calories into your body.’”
Meanwhile, the magazine also gives fans a glimpse of Kristen and Taylor on set, cracking jokes (and flirting?) and comparing Lautner to Jacob. Follow this article’s jump to watch it.
