Only a little over a year ago Vancouver had only been the third most important area for the movie industry. It was also called Hollywood North and had been a pleasent set. Especially Stars like Sean Penn, Robert De Niro or Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner settled here. Because compared to other locations Vancouver used to be nice and quiet. This has changed dramatically with the shoot of New Moon in the beginning of this year. Since the cast of the second part of the Twilight Series shoots here, Vancouver became hell on earth. It’s impoassible to walk down the streets without noticing the presence of innumerable Twilight fans. Now during the shoot of Eclipse the sets aren’t accessable for the public anymore because the amount of fans interrupted the cast’s work and couldn’t be controlled anymore. The normal sets are easy to hide from fans but every now and then when scenes simply have to be shot in public there’s people averywhere after only a few minutes. Thanks to Facebook, Twitter etc. Twi-Harts always know about shooting locations or where their stars are right now.
I found these really cool yet unknown (at least for me) pictures of the New Moon set. They show Kristen, Rob, Taylor, Chris Weitz working and shooting in the woods. We haven’t seen those scenes in the trailers yet so I’m excited what they are going to be like in the movie. These are my favorite shots so go check out the rest!
4 actors of New Moon have been elected to be under the 25 hottest actors under 25. They aren’t ranked in any order so everyone can consider his fave to be No.1… The list was developed by moviefone canada.
Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson
Age: 23
Years on List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What He’s Done: You don’t have to be a ‘Twi’-hard to appreciate R-Pattz’s smoldering gaze in the first film adaptation of the teen-vampire love story ‘Twilight.’
What’s Next: The ‘Twilight’ saga continues; ‘New Moon’ will hit theaters later this year, and ‘Eclipse’ — already filming — is set for summer 2010. If that’s not enough Pattinson for you, also look for him in the 2010 indie romantic drama ‘Remember Me.’
Industry Buzz: “Pattinson could have a tidy career for the next few years as a hunky British heartthrob … Don’t hold the ‘Twilight Saga’ against him; he’s willing to play against type with roles like Salvador Dali in ‘Little Ashes,’ and the willingness to take roles like that means he could be working for a long time to come.” — Matt Atchity, Rotten Tomatoes
Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart
Age: 19
Years on List: 2007, 2008
What She’s Done: She’d already garnered acclaim as a child actor (’Panic Room’) and an extraordinarily mature teen actor (’Into the Wild’) before being cast in the career-changing role of the headstrong, lovestruck Bella Swan in ‘Twilight’ and its future sequels.
What’s Next: She’ll play Joan Jett in the biopic ‘The Runaways’ and hopes to be able to do her own singing in the movie. And then, of course, there are enough ‘Twilight’ sequels to keep her going until she’s almost too old for this list.
Industry Buzz: “I have no fear that Stewart’s career will outlive ‘Twilight.’ Her resume is already packed with talented directors (David Fincher, Sean Penn) and character-rich indies (’Undertow’). Stewart has haunting features that make her perfect for vampire films, but so much more. ‘Twilight’ has given her fame and fortune; what the 19-year-old does with it will be the real challenge.” — Dave McCoy, MSN Movies
Taylor Lautner
Taylor Lautner
Age: 17
Years on List: 2009
What He’s Done: The family flicks ‘Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl’ and ‘Cheaper by the Dozen 2′ put him in position to land the iconic role of Jacob Back (you know, star of Team Jacob) in ‘Twilight.’
What’s Next: Lautner had to fight a public battle to keep the role of werewolf Jacob for November’s sequel ‘New Moon,’ putting on 30 pounds in the process. Fan reactions to his shirtless publicity stills say the studio made the right call. In between ‘Twilight’s, he’ll appear in 2010’s star-studded rom-com ‘Valentine’s Day.’
Industry Buzz: “In theory, he should stay close to the ‘Twilght’ formula of teen-friendly romance. As he gets older, college comedies, romantic comedies and even an action flick or two might work, but he’s got to show some real staying power with his fanbase. At this point, he really hasn’t shown he can handle serious dramatic work. But who knows, an indie here or two might change all that.” — Gregory Ellwood, Hitfix.com
Dakota Fanning
Dakota Fanning
Age: 15
Years on List: 2008, 2009
What She’s Done: This year Hollywood’s youngest veteran actress starred in the thriller ‘Push’ and voiced the lead in the animated hit ‘Coraline,’ seamlessly transitioning from child star to adept teen actress.
What’s Next: She’ll spice up ‘Twilight’’s second installment ‘New Moon’ (as an evil Volturi vamp who has it in for K-Stew’s Bella), then appear in 2010’s coming-of-age music biopic ‘The Runaways.’
Industry Buzz: “In all of her performances, there’s a genuine commitment and honesty that always comes across. You believe in the people she plays, and you empathize with them … Beyond her acting talents, she’s also blossomed into a respected pop culture icon. Fans of ‘Twilight’ are more than excited.” — Chuck Walton, Fandango

At the VMAs Jocelyn Vena from MTV talked to Taylor Lautner about a ’shirtless competition’ between him and Rob Pattinson- bring it on!- new director David Slade and the atmosphere of Eclipse.
When being asked about a possible fan reaction to seeing him shirtless, Taylor smiled and said: ‘I think they might start crying’. And appearently Mr.Pattinson who appears shirtless as well, started bunking up, so a competition would end with a tie. Very generous Taylor! The shoot of Eclipse started like a month ago and he told MTV that working with new director David Slade has been interesting so far. Eclipse will have a whole darker tone than Twilight and New Moon do and much more action.
This is the highly anticipated, extended trailer of New Moon which was presented by Rob Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner themselves at the VMAs last night.
