Taylor Lautner Premieres ‘New Moon’ BodySome actors will go to extremes to get a part, but to reprise his role of Jacob Black in “New Moon,” the sequel to “Twilight,” Taylor Lautner told Access Hollywood he has had to “basically kill myself.” “I get into the gym every single day, seven days a week, two hours a day, eat as much as I possibly can,” he told Access at our 3rd Annual ‘Stuff You Must Lounge’ at the Sofitel LA hotel on Saturday. “[I’m] going crazy.” The buff actor said he’s put on 26 pounds since starting his training regimen the day after he finished filming “Twilight” — and he’s not done yet. “I put on 20 pounds and then I guaranteed 10 more pounds,” he said. “I"ve already put on about six, so four more pounds. I’m a man of my word.” Taylor was confirmed for the role by “Twilight” saga author Stephenie Meyer and “New Moon” director Chris Weitz on Wednesday, but he wasn’t always a lock for the part. The character of Jacob becomes a towering werewolf in “New Moon,” raising questions over whether the young star would be bulky enough to play the part again — which left Taylor at the gym. But he said the hard work is paying off. “It’s motivation for my passion [for] the character,” he said. “I knew it was a necessity for the character. I’m stoked to be a part of this.” Now that he’s back, Twilighters may wondering what will happen with the long hair he sported in “Twilight” — and he said it’s coming off. ”[Jacob] cuts it off when he transforms into a werewolf. He chops it all off, so we’ll see how it’ll look,” he said. Filming for “New Moon” begins at the end of March, but for now, Taylor’s still riding high on the $200M success of “Twilight.” “It’s mind-blowing,” he said. “I don’t think anyone saw it coming.” Check AccessHollywood.com on Sunday exclusively to see Taylor debuting his guns, six-pack and all “New Moon” bod!

New Moon Taglines (?)According to IMDB, there are a few taglines on the site that may (or may not) be true. They may just be unofficial. Forbidden to Remember; Terrified to Forget.
Somewhere, a clock is ticking.
It will be as though I never existed.
When you can't be with the one you love, will you stay with the one who loves you?

'Twilight' Actor Edi Gathegi Talks 'New Moon' Love Interest Actor also fills us in on gym buddy Taylor Lautner: 'You should see this kid! He's jacked.'
SANTA MONICA, California — When last we saw "Twilight" vampire Laurent, he had aided the Cullens, turned his back on his fellow nomads and vanished into the woods of Forks.
Now, with a new director and a much-anticipated sequel just weeks away from filming, Edi Gathegi is eager to channel his character's evil side — and find true love in the process.
"It was a tiny little independent film — did moderately well in the box office," Gathegi laughed when he stopped by the MTV News studios for an exclusive interview to discuss "New Moon" and his latest movie, "My Bloody Valentine 3-D." Asked how his life has changed in the seven weeks since the vampire flick's record-breaking opening weekend, he grinned and said: "I've gotten a lot of MySpace requests."
Gathegi has also been spending a lot of time on YouTube and is particularly fond of a fan-made video that uses footage from various movies to continue Laurent's journey. "Yeah, I saw that," Gathegi said. "These fans are so passionate that they will spend time in their homes, editing splices together, because they're so in love with the story."
And, speaking of love, any good Twilighter knows that in "New Moon," Laurent meets Irina, a Denali sister whose actions will impact the future movies. That YouTube video casts "Tristan + Isolde" beauty Sophia Myles as Irina — a choice that would greatly please Gathegi.
"She's a good choice. I could be happy with that," he said of the 28-year-old Brit. "I like her work. ... Now I'm not going to be able to get her out of my mind for that character."
Of the soon-to-be-cast role, Gathegi said Irina should be "extremely vulnerable, as I think that's what leads her to make the choices that she makes. She should also be hard-headed. Vulnerable and hard-headed. But I think those are things that a good actress can do, so type-wise, I don't even know. I don't even think people saw me as Laurent for a while. So just let the best actress win, I say."
Speaking about his castmates, with whom he'll soon be reuniting, Gathegi said, "It's a 'Twilight' family. We were together for press junkets and tours, and this has been eight months together, ever since we shot in March. We've just been with each other constantly. And then we're going to go into the next one, and then they're going to do [parts] three and four, God willing. These are, like, lifelong friends at this point."
Just moments before the interview, Gathegi's phone went off. When the actor started laughing and showed us the caller ID, we saw that it was the one-and-only Taylor Lautner on the other end. "Taylor and I are going to his parents' place for dinner tonight — and then go to the gym," he said, adding that the duo were getting together to celebrate Lautner's recent re-signing as Jacob Black. "We're going to celebrate tonight. ... You should see this kid! He's jacked. He's taking it seriously.
"We've worked out in every city on our tour," Edi said of his 16-year-old spotter. "If you see him, you'll know immediately. This kid is so strong right now, it is unreal. He has achieved with his body what people with steroids cannot achieve. The only way I can describe it is that God has given him this time for this growth spurt and this body right now."
As for the rest of Laurent's "New Moon" arc, Gathegi said he's looking forward to "being fully bad. Not just halfway bad. I like the transition from being conscious and compassionate, to ['New Moon' when Laurent realizes] that's too difficult. I've got to be a vampire."
Commenting on the directorial musical chairs, Gathegi said he has yet to meet the new man in charge of the series, Chris Weitz. "Catherine [Hardwicke] was a doll. I loved that woman. I think she made the decisions she made for her reasons," he said. "Now I'm looking forward to the future. I'm looking forward to working with Chris. I think he's very capable. He's got that experience with huge pictures, with 'The Golden Compass.' He's going to make it beautiful. I loved 'American Pie,' so his track record is very promising for me. And I heard he's great with actors. I think 'New Moon' is going to be really good. ... He's up to his neck in things to do, so he's not concerned with [meeting with the returning actors yet]. We'll meet on set."
As for the moment, Gathegi said only half-jokingly, he's just trying to get a script to read. "I'm going to fire someone, because Robert [Pattinson] read it. He's like a supporting role in the freakin' film!" the actor smiled, threatening to call Mr. Pattinson on his cell phone. "Nah, he's in London now. I don't want to make any long-distance calls. I'm cheap."

Dakota Fanning as Jane? New Moon Casting Scoop! Dakota Fanning as Jane? by Marc Malkin Dakota Fanning...with fangs? It's possible. I can exclusively report that the 14-year-old child star—she turns 15 on Feb. 23—is in talks to play Jane opposite Robert Pattinson & Co. in New Moon, the upcoming sequel to box office megahit Twilight. “There were no auditions,” a source reveals. “They just offered it to her outright, and now they’re in negotiations. They’ve been going back and forth.” Jane is a member of Italy’s Volturi, the most deadly group of bloodsucking killers in author Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling series. In the casting notice we got our hands on earlier this month, Jane is described as a petite blonde with a “Botticelli angel-like face…[and] crimson irises.” While fellow Volturi guards Demetri & Felix “are three times the size of her, they are terrified of her,” the casting notice reads. Coincidentally (or maybe not), an online petition started by a Twilight fan already asks the studio, Summit Entertainment, to cast Fanning because she would be “perfect” for the role. Early last month, Entertainment Weekly suggested Pushing Daisies star and Broadway diva Kristin Chenoweth. “Her voice is certainly high enough, and at 4'11'', she's also short enough,” writer Amy Wilkinson proposed. Director Chris Weitz is expected to start shooting New Moon in March in the U.S. and Italy. If all goes as planned, the movie will hit theaters on Nov. 20. Is Fanning right for Jane? We’re sure Twilight fans have plenty to say about it. THOUGHTS? Sources: E! Online and HisGoldenEyes

Kristen Stewart Confident In Taylor Lautner, Chris Weitz For 'New Moon' 'I didn't understand all the deliberation,' 'Twilight' star says of Lautner's casting.PARK CITY, Utah — Whether you're a Twilighter or completely uninitiated into the world of the fanpires, you likely know that 18-year-old Kristen Stewart is a fast-rising actress, as proud of her indie films as she is for breaking through as Bella Swan. On Monday, she blew into Sundance to premiere her buzz-heavy movie "Adventureland" — and dodge a few paparazzi along the way. But you didn't think we'd let her escape without answering some "New Moon" questions, did you? "I'm really excited," she beamed, happily offering some of her first public comments about the big-budget "Twilight" sequel since a number of controversies have simmered, boiled and then been resolved over the past few weeks. Regardless of her excitement, however, the always-frank Stewart admitted that the film's fast turnaround, higher visibility and directorial change still needs to serve as a caution to the "Twilight" crew. "It's such a machine now. All of a sudden, this movie has become [something bigger]," she explained. "With all the expectations — usually, you make a movie and think, 'If it touches people, great; if it doesn't, then you move on to the next one, and no one's personally affected by it.' [But] everyone's really sensitive with any changes right now. "Everyone needs to be on the same page to make the same movie [as the original 'Twilight' was]," she said of the upcoming "New Moon" shoot. "Or else it will be a very disoriented project." One of the most dangerous changes in the eyes of many fans has been the swapping of directors, from Catherine Hardwicke to "The Golden Compass" director Chris Weitz. Stewart, however, is one of the few actors from the film who has actually met with Weitz, and she told us that her fears have been put to rest. "Chris is — on top of him being a really sweet guy — he is entirely devoted," she explained. "And he's very clearly not doing the movie just because it's the next big thing. He really likes it a lot." Another concern in Stewart's mind over the past few weeks had been which actor will play the pivotal role of Jacob Black — and whether she and this mystery man would be able to establish the same sort of chemistry that she had with Robert Pattinson in "Twilight." Now that Taylor Lautner has been re-cast in the role, however, she's convinced that they can make it work. "Yeah, absolutely," Stewart said. "I'm so glad they didn't have to find somebody else; we already had him! I didn't understand all the deliberation on [whether to bring him back]. But now that it's set, we can all rest. "He's really buff!" she exclaimed of Lautner, who's packed on nearly 30 pounds of muscle so far to prepare for Jacob's werewolf growth spurt. "He definitely is. It took him a lot of time." And although she may be with Jacob for much of the upcoming film, Bella could never forget her Edward. So, appropriately enough, the famous-since-she-was-12 actress was also eager to heap some praise on Robert Pattinson — who has spent the past three months dealing with an onslaught of paparazzi, wild fans and rapidly increasing fame unlike anything Hollywood has seen in quite some time. "I think he's OK," KStew said of RPattz. "He's back in London now, which makes it easier for him. It's funny. It only affects you when you come to something like [Sundance]. And then, other than that, he's totally the same guy he always was." Source

^^ Not really. Jane had blonde hair and she is a child vampire. Well a young teenager. I think its a really good choice. Her brother has to look like her though and be the same age... aren't they twins? I cant remember. His name was Alec i think. Jane and Alec.... sounds about right ;d I could be wrong. Yes coz Jane's power was to torture someone from the inside. And Alec's power was to take away all senses, make you blind and so that you cant move or hear anything. Both mind things... but they couldn't effect Bella remember! hehe

Weitz on vampires and werewolves New Moon, due Nov. 20 and based on the second volume of the Twilight saga, expands upon a supernatural love triangle. While vampire Edward (Rob Pattinson) runs away to Italy to keep his mortal teen queen Bella (Kristen Stewart) out of danger from others of his kind, she makes time with the less-complicated Jacob (Taylor Lautner) as he finally reveals his hairier, scarier side. Director Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) picks up where Twilight's Catherine Hardwicke left off on the production that starts shooting March 23. One of his first tasks on the sequel was deciding to keep Lautner, whose gangly Native American high-schooler in the first film transforms into a hulking giant over the course of the book series as he fulfills his tribe's destiny. "Taylor is a formidable guy, kind of a great tool in the toolbox," Weitz says of the nearly 17-year-old actor who has been working out daily and has packed on 29 pounds, most of it muscle. "In the first movie, we did not see or recognize how dangerous a character he could be." As for Taylor himself, "he can kill me with his left pinky. But he is too nice to do that. There is something compelling and sexy about him. He captures the spirit of Jacob." Grounded in 'real world' The backdrop of the Twilight books might be a gothic fantasy, but the filmmaker sees his characters as expressions of emotional attitudes shared by young people. "One of the great things of Stephenie Meyer's novels is that she keeps them very grounded in the real world," Weitz says. "The vampires are about distance and reserve," he says about the contrast between his male leads. "Edward represses his desire to do harm. Jacob is very warm and emotional, but also feels the heat of anger. When he transforms, it's like losing your temper — sudden, explosive and lightning-quick."
Where Bella is concerned, he adds, "Edward represents the unattainable perfection of first love. Jacob is friendship."***** Source (and full article--it's about werewolves, actually): USAToday.com

^^ Ohhh Bill Nighy would be a good choice for Aro!!! He does have that frail look about him... he would be a good choice.. Remember the guy who played the first Dumbledore, Richard Harris? I always imagined him playing Aro, minus the stupid long beard, he was so soft when he spoke and i imagined him as Aro. But obviously, and sadly, he wont get to play him There is talks about Elijah Wood being Alec, Jane's brother.. i think he would be a good choice! Heres the article on EW. EW: Who Should be Alec?Entertainment Weekly has a Pop Watch article on who Alec should be if Dakota Fanning is Jane. Elijah Wood is a popular suggestion, since Jane and Alec are small in stature, but I doubt that the man who starred in the Lord of the Rings trilogy would want to be backburner in a Twilight sequel. You can read the rest here: popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/01/twilight-if-dak.html

Dakota Fanning Confirms Rumors that she was offered Jane role for New Moon!! Some Concrete News from Miss Dakota Fanning herself: Will Dakota Fanning play a pint-sized vampire in the “Twilight” sequel, “New Moon?” She’s crossing her fingers. “I think it’s too soon to tell if I’ll for sure be doing it, but it’s so great,” she told Access Hollywood on Saturday at the junket for her latest film, “Push.” “I’m a really big fan of that series and the first film and all the actors in it, so it would be wonderful.”source: www.nbcwashington.com/news/entertainment/Dakota_Fanning_Talks__New_Moon__Rumors.htmlmore quotes at the source“We are considering all actors that have the unique requirements for the look of Jane — Dakota being one of them,” a rep for Summit told Access. If she does get the part, Dakota said she won’t have to spend too much time in the makeup chair. “I don’t think they’ll have to put a lot of makeup on me,” she joked. “I’m pretty white already.”And the 14-year-old actress added that doing the film would give her a boost with her “Twilighter” pals. “Pretty much all my friends are pretty big fans, so it would be great,” she said. “Twilight” stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will all be reprising their roles in “New Moon,” which goes into production in March.
