Off screen, their friendship is as tight as ever so it was no surprise that Kristen Stewart hung with Taylor Lautner at the LA Film Festival screening of A Better Life at the Regal Cinemas on June 21st.

The Twilight costars hit the red carpet to support New Moon filmmaker, Chris Weitz’ latest effort and show some love to their former director.

KStew was super relaxed in skinny jeans, a tee and high heels and Taylor opted for a black vest with his dark pants and button down shirt.

Weitz told reporters he was grateful that Stewart and Lautner came out to the event.

“They know that if they come out for something like this they are going to be screamed at and torn at,” he said. “For them to do that for me, and to run the gauntlet, it really touches me.”

How many movies will Breaking Dawn, the final chapter of The Twilight Saga be made into has been a guessing game for fans of the series for some time. Summit, the studio that gives us the popular movies, had said that there would be only one BD flick even after actor BooBoo Stewart (Seth Clearwater) confirmed what most fans hoped for and had been assumed – there would be two movies.

Previously, author Stephanie Meyer said in an interview with MTV that she knew right where the film should be split – if it were to be made into two films and at that time seemed genuinely happy to have a two part ending to the saga. In January however, it was reported that Meyer could not “decide whether or not [making two movies] is the right thing to do creatively” and perhaps there was tension between the studio and creator. Meyer, who has given few interviews over the past year, issued a denial regarding any problems between herself and movie executives but it did make you wonder what was the problem?

After all the hoopla and behind the scenes drama, two movies will be made. An official announcement is due as early as next week. No director has been chosen (Chris Weitz, New Moon’s man in charge, has passed) and filming/production dates will need to be nailed down for all the actors – especially Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Dakota Fanning and Ashley Greene who have lots of offers and other commitments.

The third film, Eclipse is due in theaters June 2010, and the first full length trailer was rumored to be attached to Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, opening this weekend (February 12th) however that has been debunked.

What do you think? Happy with two movies or ready to see Rob and Kristen in other non vampire stuff?

In Paris to promote their movie The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the trio of Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart participated in a photo call at the Hotel Crillon.

Stewart wore a cream colored dress by J Mendel (beautiful!) and peep toe platforms from Sergio Rossi.

France has New Moon movie opening on November 18th.

With the full court press for the premiere of The Twilight Saga: New Moon underway, the young stars are giving LOTS of interviews and here is a new one from Robert Pattinson. The actor spoke about the differences the three directors (Catherine Hardwicke for the first film, Chris Weitz for the upcoming New Moon and David Slade for next year’s Eclipse) brought to the series of films. From the interview, Pattinson says that there will be even more fighting and action scenes for Eclipse than New Moon.

What do you think? Want more action? or more of the love story of Bella and Edward?

Don’t forget (not that anyone will!) The Twilight Saga: New Moon opens in theaters November 20th.

Anya Marina is one of the artists included on the upcoming soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Her song ‘Satellite Heart’ (listen to the song here) is a haunting tune that will be featured in the movie to Marina’s favorite scene. Here is what the songstress had to say about being included soundtrack:

A few months ago, I was asked by Chris Weitz (the director of the new Twilight movie (New Moon) to come in to his office to screen the latest Twilight movie, New Moon. I guess he’d heard my cover of T.I.’s “Whatever You Like” and really liked it. Naturally, I was thrilled. I heard all sorts of my favorite bands were being considered for the soundtrack (Thom Yorke, Death Cab, Grizzly Bear, etc). In fact, on the day of my own private screening, as I walked in, The Killers were making their way out.

oh.

em.

gee.

Suffice it to say, the movie was great and I got really inspired to adapt a new song I’d been working on to suit Bella and Edward and their whole drama. I got together with my friend, producer [and mixer on Slow & Steady...] Ken Andrews, and we recorded a pretty mean version of a new song called “Satellite Heart.”

When I heard that Chris decided not only to include Satellite Heart in my favorite scene in New Moon, but also in the soundtrack, I was–pardon the pun–over the moon. I can’t wait to see it in the movie or for you to hear some of the straight-up sick remixes that’ll be coming out soon, too. For now, stream the song (and check out the lyrics) on MySpace, and then pre-order the soundtrack through iTunes to be able to download ‘Satellite Heart’ instantly.

Enjoy. See you in November!

Get ready girls – there is a new Taylor Lautner interview floating out there in cyberspace. The seventeen year old who is the fantasy of tons of girls (just look at the responses we get here on this post or this one…) gave Boxoffice.com the scoop on his love of romantic comedies and the film The Notebook, his shirtless pictures make him embarrassed, working with Taylor Swift on Valentine’s Day,  and how guys will like the story more in New Moon. Here he is talking about playing Jacob:

What do you like about playing Jacob?

I love Jacob and Bella’s relationship. It’s very different from Edward and Bella’s. Jacob and Bella start off as really good friends. They become best friends—they can tell each other anything, they do whatever together, ride motorcycles. I love that. And then their relationship starts growing into more and more, and you wonder if they’re going to go past friends. I love being able to do that. And work with an amazing actress, Kristen Stewart, and all of the help around us, our director Chris Weitz, the whole crew. It’s a lot of fun.

There is lots more from Lautner at Boxoffice.com – Check it out. Great interview.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon release is still two months away, but director Chris Weitz has given boxoffice.com a short interview about the upcoming movie. Of course, the filmmaker was asked about the rumoured romantic relationship between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson and while he didn’t confirm it – he did give a very interesting answer to the supposed secrecy.

One of my favorite New Moon conspiracy theories is that the producers are ordering Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson to keep their love hidden because it will affect the way people will perceive the story, even though the story is already known even until the next two books.

The fans know what the Volturi look like or what Taylor Lautner as Jacob’s amazing bod is going to look like—the producers know these things are big points of curiosity about whether we’ve been able to be faithful to people’s notions. And they want to parse these things out over time. [Laughs] It is a conspiracy, but the conspiracy is called marketing.

While that is what everyone will focus on, I thought his answers about the actual storyline and how he chooses to film it, were really fascinating. He mentions he feels almost liberated about making a movie from a book, where the ending is already known to the audience. That is unique, many artists feel just the opposite – worried about negative fan reaction to any visual or storyline changes.

This is sequel is shaping up to possibly be better than original in many ways. I know by the feedback we get everyone is super excited about the November movie.

As many of us are learning, Jamie Campbell Bower is a prankster! The nude scene he referred to a few days ago to MTV.com was just an actor spicing up an otherwise dull interview process. No nude scene will be added to ‘New Moon’ as confirmed by director Chris Weitz. Weitz sent this email to MTV:

I would like to put everyone’s mind at rest and let them know that the
Volturi are not naked! Jamie (Campbell-Bower) 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. Anyway, 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.

best,
Chris Weitz

Well played Jamie, well played!

While filming is just getting under way for the ‘Twilight’  sequel, ‘New Moon’  more casting news is coming out about who will play the italian Volturi vampire clan. British newcomer Jamie Campbell-Bower has the golden ticket to teen fame now that he has been chosen for the role of Caius, leader of the Volturi.

Speaking to the BBC, Campbell-Bower said: “You’re the first people I’ve told” he said. “Shooting has already started, and I’m going over in June.”

He has had roles in Sweeney Todd with Johnny Depp and Guy Ritchie’s RocknRolla, and will be in The Prisoner  later this year. He joins Dakota Fanning as the latest addition to the Rob Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner film series.

It wouldn’t be the same in the eyes of many fans if Jacob Black was played by anyone other Taylor Lautner and now Kristen Stewart chimes in on how she feels about Lautner reprising his role for the ‘Twilight’ sequel, ‘New Moon.’ 

“I’m so glad they didn’t have to find somebody else; we already had him!” she tells MTV News. “I didn’t understand all the deliberation on [whether to bring him back]. But now that it’s set, we can all rest.”

Stewart and Lautner are gearing up to begin shooting this March and Lautner’s new added muscle will go a long way toward making him believable as his werewolf character changes so dramatically this time around.

Stewart is also looking forward filming and really likes new director Chris Weitz.

“Chris is — on top of him being a really sweet guy — he is entirely devoted,” Stewart says. “And he’s very clearly not doing the movie just because it’s the next big thing. He really likes it a lot.”

‘New Moon’  is due out Fall 2009 and will be huge. The expectation of fans is surpassing what it was for the original ‘Twilight.’
