Close Up on the New Moon Film Set

Close Up have an interview segment with the cast of New Moon.
When Close Up presenter Mark Sainbury said "Werewolves - bare-chested beefcakes...." I started PMSL. It's just not something you'd expect him to say....hehe.

I don't think this is Close Up exclusive..it *may* be taken from odd interviews...I really don't know, I haven't been watching much behind the scenes New Moon stuff cause I just think it will ruin the movie if I think about it too much - you know my expectations could possibly set me up for a downfall.

Interviews with Rob, Kristen, Taylor, Dakota and Michael Sheen.

Kristen: "objectively from the outside she (Bella) should be with Jacob. She's best friends with him, he's warm and it's easy, there's no problems there. But you can't always take the easy way."

Taylor: "It just depends on your type...if you believe in love at first sight and seeing that mysterious man on the corner, then alright, join Team Edward."

Rob: "Edward is much more of a worrier. Not a warrior, a worrier (laughs) and Jacob isn't."

Rob just cracks me up with his aloofness. He just comes off as a big dork to me. Perhaps that's his charm?

Alright, here's the link: [CloseUp]

Pictures of the official cast

I think it's pretty obvious that I don't need to point out who the main stars are right? cool.

okay here we go:



Graham Greene as Harry Clearwater


Daniel Cudmore as Felix (Volturi)


Charllie Bewley as Demetri (Volturi)


Cameron Bright as Alec (Volturi)


Dakota Fanning as Jane (Volturi)


Michael Sheen as Aro (Volturi)


Christopher Heyerdahl as Marcus (Volturi)


Jamie Campbell Bower as Caius (Volturi)


And of course we have the wolf pack which have been previously announced :)



phew! what a list!!

Cameron Bright as Alec

the reason why I wanted to focus on Cameron Bright is because I want to bring into focus how well he'll play Alec standing next to Dakota Fanning as Jane.

Cameron Bright is a 16 year old Canadian born actor and has acted in quite a few movies ( X-men: The Last Stand, Ultraviolet).
Dakota Fanning, 15, is a young actress that I'm pretty sure needs no introduction. Her latest movie, Push, was recently released.

Let's see:


I can see a resemblance, can you guys?
At this point, he looks like he'd be perfect to play Alec. Next to Dakota, I can really see the evil twins wreaking havoc ~ I can't wait to see how things pan out :)

Kristen and Dakota BFFs?

MTV have an interview with Kristen Stewart about working with Dakota on both New Moon and The Runaways.

She's quoted as saying:

“I can’t wait to actually work with her,” the 18-year-old Stewart told us after hearing the Fanning news. “We aren’t BFFs yet, but hopefully.”

aww how cute is that? I forget that Kristen is still only 18, she seems so much older than that!

here's the vid:

Dakota Confirmed!

So it seems Dakota Fanning has finally been officially confirmed! YAY I'm really looking forward to her playing Jane. Like really really looking forward to it hehe. I think she'll be awesome...but I guess only time will tell.

New Moon Movie posts:

Finally some official casting info! Summit has sent out an email revealing that Dakota Fanning will indeed be playing the part of Jane in New Moon. The email states:

Acclaimed actress Dakota Fanning has officially joined the cast, and will play fan favorite Jane in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

congrats Dakota on landing a part in New Moon :D

Dakota Confirmed.

It seems that Dakota Fanning has been confirmed for New Moon. Awesome. I really can't wait to see her as Jane!

“THE TWILIGHT SAGA’S NEW MOON” Feature Film 02-12-09
VOLTERRA FM PRODUCTIONS CANADA INC.
STATUS - March 23 LOCATION - Vancouver - Italy

CAST: Robert Pattinson - Kristen Stewart - Taylor Lautner - Billy Burke - Gil Birmingham - Peter Facinelli -Elizabeth Reaser -Ashley Greene - Jackson Rathbone - Kellan Lutz - Nikki Reed - Dakota Fanning
All is not well between demon-magnet Bella and Edward Cullen, her vampire Romeo. An innocent papercut at Edward’s house puts Bella in grave danger when various members of the Cullen family can barely resist their hunger at the smell of blood. The Cullens promptly leave town, afraid of endangering Edward’s beloved, and Bella sinks into an overwhelming depression. Months later, she finally emerges from her funk to rebuild her life, focusing on her friendship with besotted teen Jacob from the reservation. Bella’s unhealthy enthrallment to Edward leads her into dangerous and self-destructive behavior despite her new friends, and supernatural complications are bound to reappear. Bella’s being hunted by an evil vampire, and Jacob’s adolescent male rage turns out to be incipient lycanthropy: It seems many Quileute Indians become werewolves in the presence of vampires, their natural enemies. (March 23 - May 20 / will shoot in the ancient Tuscan city of Volterra for two weeks in May - Release date Nov. 20, 2009)

Of course we all know nothing is confirmed until they're in the movie acting out the scene. I mean look at Annalynne McCord - one minute confirmed then next minute out, then next minute in...well you get the drift!

Dakota Fanning interview

Movies.ie have an interview with Dakota for her movie Push...and of course there's bound to be a twilight related question...

Q: Is it true you're signed up to play a vampire in New Moon, the sequel to
blockbuster bloodsucker movie Twilight?
DF: Possibly, I hope it works out.
It would be really cool to be a part of that. I think the actors are amazing and
I'm a big fan.

Q: What role would you play?
DF: I think it would
be Jane. She's a vampire in the film.

Hop on board the Twilight train

I think it's hilarious how all these stars are trying to hop on the twilight, or should I say New Moon train!

First it's the romours about Vanessa Hudgens and Brenda song.

Then it's Dakota Fanning.

And then Hilary Duff.

But let's not forget the latest addition, The Jonas Brothers

"Now, established celebrities are thirsty to be part of Summit’s sequel “New Moon” due out on Nov. 20. The latest stars knocking at Summit’s door are teen pop sensations The Jonas Brothers, who told MTV
they would love to contribute to the “New Moon” soundtrack". The
movie was obviously a huge success, and if they asked us to be a part (of the sequel) that would be great,” Nick Jonas told MTV, as his brothers agreed."

Guys, how about actually watching Twilight first?! It must be coz of Camilla Belle...:p

Of all the stars trying to get a piece of the action, I really hope Dakota plays Jane, I think a lot of people under estimate her as a child actor - but she's actually pretty good. She can pull of a mean stare! plus i was really surprised to see how much she has grown since I saw her last in Uptown Girls.
