'I'm excited to see finished stuff from 'Eclipse' rather than anything in progress,' director says.
With filming on "Eclipse" wrapping up, we couldn't resist asking "New Moon" director Chris Weitz whether he had seen any of the footage from next summer's blockbuster. He hadn't, he said, because he's been busy working hard to bring fans "New Moon," which hits theaters in less than a month. Surprisingly, he said he didn't really want to see the footage yet.
"As a fan and a filmmaker, I'm excited to see finished stuff from 'Eclipse' rather than anything in progress," Weitz said. "When you see works in progress, there's always some guy standing in front of some big green curtain, and it's all terribly disappointing. You really want to see the good stuff once it's all finished."
After "New Moon" was finished filming , Summit Entertainment announced that David Slade would be directing "Eclipse." Weitz said he had some early chats with Slade to let him know what "New Moon" was going to look like and how he had filmed the story, and then let Slade decide how he wanted to film the series' third installment.
"It was like the transition team, so I could kind of let him know where things are going," Weitz said. "The transfer of power was very successful. The transition teams coordinated extremely well."

Hollywood Crush Presents the Case: Taylor & Taylor: Are they a couple?
The case before you, Crushers, is simple. Hollywood Crush's Sweethearts Court would like you to find whether country crooner Taylor Swift and "New Moon" shapeshifter Taylor Lautner are guilty on charges of dating in the first degree. We will present you with persuasive evidence today and hope that your verdict is in the affirmative. [Bangs gavel] I hereby bring this case of are-they-or-aren't-they to order. Let's proceed.
I assume you, the esteemed jurors, are well aware of the precedence in this case. The name-sharing pair were first snapped together filming scenes for their upcoming rom-com "Valentine's Day" in late July. Swift later said their onscreen lip lock "was life-changing." Fast-forward to fall and the teen dreams were caught sharing a lingering embrace at Swift's concert in Chicago. Which brings us to the past week (when they were, as seen to the right, Spotted! shopping together at Alice + Olivia). Here are the latest developments:

'New Moon' Kiss: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart Heat Up In New Scene
In the "Twilight" Nation, every leaked shot is cause for celebration, every new piece of footage is reason to skip school, and every new glimpse of Robert Pattinson is the highlight of a given week. It's no surprise, then, that the Internet is abuzz with a never-before-seen clip from "New Moon" that features a scintillating smooch. OME, indeed.
"It's still my birthday," Bella (Kristen Stewart) asks in an early scene from the November 20 "Twilight" sequel, noticeably swallowing her fears over a blossoming romance with vampire Edward Cullen. "Can I ask one thing? Kiss me."
The clip plays for only 47 seconds but will undoubtedly be replayed for hours by drool-heavy Twilighters wishing they could get a similar wish on their next birthday. Looking like he's about to cry, RPattz leans in and lets KStew wrap her hands around his face, simultaneously kissing his leading lady and conveying the sense that Edward is battling back the temptation to make the human his late-night snack.
The two star-crossed lovers swap spit for 14 seconds, each moaning to convey their mutual desire and sense of danger. Edward doesn't say a single word during the clip, but he doesn't need to.

Jackson Rathbone says New Moon Volturi are nice to see!
As filming wraps this week on "Eclipse," and "New Moon" is mere weeks away from invading theaters nationwide, we are pleased to report that Jackson Rathbone is alive and well. A few vampire scuffles in Vancouver can't take down the immortal Jasper Hale.
Recently, we caught up with the actor/ 100 Monkeys frontman to talk about what might be his final days as Stephenie Meyer's endearing Confederate vampire. The fan fave was eager to talk about jamming with Robert Pattinson, exploring Jasper's backstory in "Eclipse," and setting his own face on fire.
MTV: Out of the new characters joining the franchise for "New Moon," which is your favorite?
Jackson Rathbone: My favorite character in "New Moon" that wasn't in "Twilight"? I guess my favorite character in "New Moon" is a collective — the Volturi. It's one of those things that's really nice to see, these decadent older vampires that run this vampire society, if you will. I think they're an amazing group of actors that we were able to get for the film, and they are very scary and intimidating. They're all perfect — I mean, Dakota Fanning is a terrifying Jane; absolutely terrifying.

Vanity Fair Interview with Peter Facinelli
Vanity Fair has a great interview with PFach giving us details about filming Eclipse, the different directors and endearing words for the cast!
As the patriarch of the Cullen clan, have you assumed a similar fatherly role with the cast?
You know, on Twilight I feel like they looked to me as the father figure, but because we became so close, I’m more of an older brother now.
Has there been a difference in the way you interact as a cast since you filmed Twilight?
Rob[ert Pattinson] has more security guards hanging around him! [Laughs] Other than that, not really. We really enjoy each other’s company, and we’ve been working so much on this movie that we really haven’t had as much time to hang out with each other. We’re putting in these long hours and then just heading home. Usually we just try to catch dinner with each other then get back up the next morning and do it all over again

New Moon Hysteria officially in Over Drive!
Seems like just a short time ago that New Moon was a wrap! I remember the days so well at the end of May when Twitter was going nuts with pictures and video coming out of Italy. Wow and now Eclipse is almost a WRAP! Wow how time flies!
We are now officially in New Moon hysteria mode and the pics, t.v. spots and scenes and fan made videos being posted for New Moon has the fans sitting on the edge of their seats with 25 days to go until we get to see NEW MOON on the big screen!
Twitter has been an amazing journey for me! I have laughed, cried, moaned, groaned and bitched so much in the past 6 months since I became a Twitter-holic! However, I have had an amazing ride! I have made some neat Twitter besties, and have even met my Bestest Twitter buddy callsignC30, and she is a complete joy!
I am looking forward to the next 25 days as the PR push for New Moon is going into complete over drive! The cast is definitely going to be SUPER busy!!! I wish them all well in the coming days, pray for their safety and am looking forward to HUGE opening weekend figures coming at the box office!!!!!!
I particularly like the fan made video linked above by DayJolie80. She has done an awesome job with this video! Click on the title of this blog to view the video!
