From Summit Entertainment, the new "Meet Jacob Black" preview for "The Twilight Saga: New Moon"!


What do you guys think? Personally I love Jacob jumping all over and being this new, strong, super agile being. Of course I love the snippets of the Volturi scenes, since these are what I saw being filmed during my set visit in May. The chemistry between Jacob and Bella looks intense (yay for the Team Jacob peeps).

The accompanying press release:
SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT
Presents
THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON

Starring

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Rachelle Lefevre, Billy Burke, Peter Facinelli, Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Michael Sheen and Dakota Fanning

Based on the Novel “New Moon” by Stephenie Meyer / Screenplay by Melissa Rosenberg

Directed by Chris Weitz

In the second installment of Stephenie Meyer’s phenomenally successful TWILIGHT series, the romance between mortal and vampire soars to a new level as BELLA SWAN (Kristen Stewart) delves deeper into the mysteries of the supernatural world she yearns to become part of—only to find herself in greater peril than ever before.

Following Bella’s ill-fated 18th birthday party, EDWARD CULLEN (Robert Pattinson) and his family abandon the town of Forks, Washington, in an effort to protect her from the dangers inherent in their world. As the heartbroken Bella sleepwalks through her senior year of high school, numb and alone, she discovers Edward’s image comes to her whenever she puts herself in jeopardy. Her desire to be with him at any cost leads her to take greater and greater risks.

With the help of her childhood friend JACOB BLACK (Taylor Lautner), Bella refurbishes an old motorbike to carry her on her adventures. Bella’s frozen heart is gradually thawed by her budding relationship with Jacob, a member of the mysterious Quileute tribe, who has a supernatural secret of his own.

When a chance encounter brings Bella face to face with a former nemesis, only the intervention of a pack of supernaturally large wolves saves her from a grisly fate, and the encounter makes it frighteningly clear that Bella is still in grave danger. In a race against the clock, Bella learns the secret of the Quileutes and Edward’s true motivation for leaving her. She also faces the prospect of a potentially deadly reunion with her beloved that is a far cry from the one she’d hoped for. With more of the passion, action and suspense that made TWILIGHT a worldwide phenomenon, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON is a spellbinding follow-up to the box office hit.

U.S. release via Summit Entertainment, November 20, 2009.

Two new actors have joined the "Eclipse" cast, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Catalina Sandino Moreno joins "Eclipse" cast
Colombian actress Catalina Sandino Moreno will portray Maria, the vampire who "turns" Confederate soldier Jasper Whitlock into one of her newborn army. Moreno has previously starred in "Maria Full of Grace" (2004), "Che" (2008), and "Love in the Time of Cholera" (2007).

Jack Huston joins the "Eclipse" cast
Jack Huston will portray Royce King II, Rosalie's wealthy but murderous fiancé. Huston can be seen in the upcoming ABC series "Eastwick," and the sci-fi action film "Outlander" (2009). If his last name sounds familiar, it's an indicator of his fine acting geneology: he is the nephew of Angelica Huston and the grandson of director John Huston.

The "Twilight" cast accepting Best Drama award at the TCAs.
I went on vacation last week and missed an entire week of Twi news. So this news is a bit late, but I can't not blog it 'coz it's just too much good stuff.

"Twilight" scooped up 11 wins at the Teen Choice Awards on the night of August 9, including Movie Drama, Romance, Liplock, and Rumble. Kristen Stewart scored the Movie Drama Actress award, while Robert Pattinson scored surfboard trophies for Movie Drama Actor and Male Hottie. (Like anybody else could even be nominated in the Male Hottie category...)

Cam Gigandet--no surprise here--won the Villain category, while Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene won for Male and Female Movie Fresh Faces. "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke joined the cast onstage to accept the win for Best Choice Drama. Here they are onstage accepting:

This post-show video from ET is funny--I love when the cast talks about Rob's hair. It's a Chia Pet, it's Velcro, it's a toupee!

The "Cullen" brothers were dressed in casually hip attire, confirming that grey is the new black.

Not to be outdone, the "Twilight" gals arrived in daring, edgy stuff. Kristen in a Rock & Republic dress (with a skirt covered in metal spikes...ouch!), Nikki in a Miu Miu safari-inspired piece, and Ashley in a Dolce & Gabbana confetti-skirted corset dress.

And lastly, this funny video from Access Hollywood. The cast is being interviewed, when Rob walks by and declines to join his castmates, as he's whisked off by his peeps. They have a good laugh, and Nikki says, "We're all chopped liver."

Noot Seear will be Heidi in "Eclipse."
Canadian model Noot Seear will be playing Heidi in "Eclipse." The 25-year old Vancouver, B.C., native has graced Elle, Cosmopolitan, and Vanity Fair, but her role as the tourist-trapping vampire of the Volturi coven will make Seear a household name. Well, at least Twi-obsessed households.

Read her latest interviews here:
  • MTV: She talks about how she prefers Zack Morris to Robert Pattinson. I never watched "Saved by the Bell," so I can't make a judgement here :)
  • WWD: Seear talks about transitioning from modeling to acting, and how fun it will be to seduce human prey.'
  • Style.com: Seear talks more "Twilight" and "Saved by the Bell."

Jodelle Ferland will play a newborn in "Eclipse."

Jodelle Ferland has been cast as a newborn in "Eclipse." There has been no confirmation from Summit, but many Twifans wonder if she'll be Bree--one of the newborn vampires in Victoria's army that the Volturi eventually kill. Ferland is probably known best for her role as Sharon in the supernatural horror film, "Silent Hill."
