'New Moon' Director Left Make-Out Scene To Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart


'I think it would be creepy and inappropriate for me to advise them how to kiss one another,' Chris Weitz laughs.

How exactly does a person direct two of the biggest movie stars in the world during a make-out scene? How do you approach the task if one's playing a vampire and the other is still in her teens? For Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's "New Moon" lip-lock, director Chris Weitz just sat back and shut up.


"Capturing those [scenes] is really a question of just allowing the actors to do their work," Weitz told MTV News in a recent interview. "They know their characters. They know the tone they're supposed to hit."

The director's job in this case, Weitz explained, is not to intrude on the connection the actors have already established — especially considering RPattz and KStew had gone through a cinematic romance in 2008's "Twilight."

"It's not like when they're about to kiss, I'm leaning in and saying, just off camera, 'Tender, tender!' or anything like that," he laughed. "I just let them do their thing. I think it would be creepy and inappropriate for me to advise them how to kiss one another or what it's like to be young in love. I'm 40 years old. I'm not going to Polanski out on them."

One area Weitz did take an active role in was making sure the "New Moon" set was free of any Pattinson and Stewart relationship rumors. "I very much want the set to be completely free of all those concerns and any pressures that are coming from the outside world — paparazzi — and the tremendous attention that they're under," he said.

From MTV - Rob & Kristen's 1st Interview

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart: MTV's Very First Interview With The 'Twilight' Stars Has Been Unearthed!

There's been some nostalgia over here at MTV as we take a look back to a year ago when "Twilight" was still on the brink of becoming a hit. MTV News conducted its first interview of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart together in April 2008, and needless to say, you wouldn't hear her admit in a shy voice "I think he's really handsome" in any interviews nowadays.

The two admitted they had spent a lot of time together in pre-production because they were staying only two blocks away from one another.

"We sat around my dining room table for two entire nights and read the script," she said.


"Two nights?" he replied. "It was more than two nights."

"It was actually all of pre-production, but there were two nights that were actually productive."

In today's are-they/aren't-they mentality, it's hard not to have your ears prick up at the news Rob and Kristen weren't very "proactive" when they were hanging out together, but back then it was just the innocence of two people beginning to fall in love with one another. Whether that "love" is in friendship or in romance, only time will tell.

They talked about how they spent nights watching Marlon Brando's racy "Last Tango in Paris" and how Rob bought Kristen a copy of Virgil's "Doomed Love." These weren't your average kids, but two artists who took their craft seriously and found a bond with one another in that fact.

It was also their first time being asked what it was like to kiss each other on camera.

"His teeth are pretty sharp," Kristen laughed. "It's great. I like it."

"Every time I just try to kill her," Rob replied

How I Became A 'New Moon' Extra (from MSN.com)

I love the articles I find on my home page at work, especially when they are about The Twilight Saga!  Look what I found this morning when loggin on from work!

How I Became A ‘New Moon’ Extra


By Myriam Gabriel-Pollock

For MSN Movies

Don’t let Maile Roundtree’s appearance fool you. She looks like a normal adult woman. She’s a wife and a mom who owns a successful jewelry design business. She loves to entertain and to travel, spend time with family and friends, and curl up with a good book. But underneath this seemingly conventional exterior lurks one of those people. Yes, Roundtree is a Twihard, defined by UrbanDictionary.com as, “a serious and obsessive reader of ‘The Twilight Saga’ by Stephenie Meyer.” As the Twilight Superfan on MSN, I was awash in awe and envy when I first heard about Roundtree’s Twi-umphant quest to be an extra on the “New Moon” set in Italy. Over coffee and pancakes, she happily shared her fantastic story.

Roundtree, her husband, and young daughter were on holiday in Cortona, Italy, when she learned that “New Moon” would begin filming in nearby Montepulciano on the day they were scheduled to return to the U.S. Though she had discovered the “Twilight” books only four weeks before, she devoured the series in a matter of days, and her husband graciously let her delay her return so that she could take part. With a new plane ticket and her family returning home without her, Roundtree headed to Montepulciano.




When she arrived in the picturesque Italian hilltown it was already overrun with hundreds of starry-eyed young girls and “crazy moms like me” from all over Europe. Roundtree likens this female pilgrimage to the film “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” with actor Robert Pattinson drawing in the faithful like Devil’s Tower. She had to ask the film crew three times to be cast as an extra before they finally relented.

[Continued from MSN Movies here...]

Montepulciano was already beautifully decked out with red banners, which were actually owned by the town for use during the Palio, an annual athletic contest and festival celebrated in many Italian towns, with roots going back to the Middle Ages. In the wine-producing town of Montepulciano, the contest requires the competitors to roll a huge wine barrel through the steep, winding streets; the first person to the piazza wins
 

Her first day on set started very early, but Roundtree gleefully admits, “I have never been so happy to be up at 4:00am!” Although it was still dark out and the rest of the town was asleep, the film crew had no problem getting 1200 extras signed in and distributing the red cloaks. Through most of this day the extras got a crash course in the unusual rhythms of filmmaking, waiting up to three hours for a shot to be set up, three quick minutes of filming, and then starting the cycle all over again.


For most of the extras the most difficult thing to deal with was the heat, up to 100 degrees in the unshaded cobblestone piazza. The red woolly cloaks were incredibly hot, particularly for the women, who had to keep their hoods up most of the time. Perhaps not surprisingly, this was because most of the extras were female, and the director, Chris Weitz, did not want the crowd in the piazza scene to look so obviously female-dominated.

The Insider Talks to the Volturi - A GREAT INTERVIEW!!!!

"The Insider" sits down with Dakota Fanning, Jamie Campbell Bower, Michael Sheen and Cameron Bright from The Twilight Saga: New Moon.


The foursome play members of the ruling vampire clan, the Volturi in the sequel to Twilight, and they open up about their characters' evil intentions.

Veteran stage actor Michael Sheen says of playing his diabolical 2,000-year-old character, "I like the idea of someone who thinks of himself as a nice, sweet grandmotherly type but who's actually a psycho killer underneath. ... So, I like the idea of playing someone who is sort of soft, quite loving and thinks of himself as being very sentimental and then likes to pull people's heads off."

Dakota Fanning has a long history of playing nice girls, and tells "The Insider," "It was the first time playing an evil character, but that was one of the reasons why i wanted to do it. It's more fun playing bad girls, more fun than playing good girl."


Michael says of the Twilight series in general, "What's wonderful about these stories, I think, is that there are very fantastical elements, and supernatural elements, and magical elements, and at the same time, it's very moving and touching and it really seems to speak to people's hearts. So it's really wonderful to be in these films."

Come back Monday to see "The Insider"'s extended interview with the Cullen women: Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed and Elizabeth Reaser, and come back every weekday until 'New Moon' premieres in theaters on Friday, November 20 to see a new ET video with the cast!
