Director Chris Weitz has confirmed that “New Moon” will be shot in Vancouver, British Columbia; Rome; and L.A.; and filming will begin in March of 2009.
The L.A. casting director has been hired, but their information will not be posted. I’m guessing that’s because of the number of unsolicited calls and submissions they’d receive. They’ve also acquired the rights for “Eclipse,” the third movie in the series, but pre-production won’t begin until 2010.
Here’s what we know:
- Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will be back as Edward and Bella.
- Taylor Lautner will be back in the role of Jacob Black.
- Director Chris Weitz is on the prowl for at least six people to play Quileute Indians, all of whom eventually morph into wolves.
- They’re also looking for Italian vampires: five men and two women. In the casting document, they’re all described as being, among other things, “beautiful,” “handsome” and/or “elegant.” No surprise there.
- Disney stars Vanessa Hudgens and Brenda Song are being considered for roles. Fans either love or hate this idea.
- Shooting is set to begin in March in Vancouver, they’ll also be filming in Italy.

OK here it comes..
Love Kristen love her but she sounded sooo wooden about her feelings for Edward.. not really connected almost like “let me hurry through this because I think it is goofy.” it’s like she won’t just admit and let herself go and fall for either Edward or Robert. He is sooo good looking and he likes HER lil’old Bella and in real life he is very funny and attractive. She should have some fun with it and stop just saying he is a dork in interviews. Is this 5th grade?
Love Robert but when he utters his first word “hello” to Bella he sounds squeeky like a bad James Dean impression. I read he tried to put a lot of JD in the part. He should sound mesmerizing, smooth,sexy grown up without looking like he is trying.I like when he starts to put his arm around her and smile cool. The stares though made me laugh not swoon. Sorry Robert.
OK the Cullens? If I heard “beautiful” one more time I was going to go get my eyes examined. Jasper looks like he is constipated! A terrible portrayal. Love Alice – love her. Emett a doll and really cute. Esme sweet but her “love” for everyone was thin and very rushed. Their Dad the doc? Peter looked hideous in the makeup. Not stunning and waaaayyyy too young.
Did they have no money for casting? Or did the makeup folks even have a license? THe worst though was Rosalie.. OMG I saw her after the movie in a mag and she is such a pretty gir with her brown hair and eyes. Soo pretty. In the film her description of being the most beautiful girl in the world was awful and soo off the mark I really felt the authenticity just disapeared after that one.
Seriously, get a model who is trying to break into acting. The siblings don’t even talk. What one line each? It is suppose to be mind blowing in a good way when you see these people. Get a Kate Moss or Eva Herzigova. These people do NOT need to talk they just need to be soo pretty your mouth drops. NONE of them do.
I adore Robert Patzz as much as anyone but let’s see him coping alone, his struggle with loneliness. His longing for Bella and his total craziness for her. THe best was him rescuing her and him at the prom when Jacob showed up and he said “I’ll take it from here.” His performance just seemed disjointed. It was like he was trying to fiigure out the character each day he was filming.
I just want to fall in love with them all but I cannot just let go….

I don’t know why everyone goes crazy over Rob Pattinson. I just don’t see it. Maybe if they fixed his hair and maybe if they would trim up his eyebrows. None of my friends or my daughter’s friends think he’s cute. I think Taylor Lautner is MUCH cuter. I would have a hard time choosing between Edward or Jacob though. I actually would want both. Edward in the Summer and Jacob in the winter. ;-)))))

Bella, Edward, Rosalie, Alice, Emmett, Esme, Carlisle, Jasper, Jacob… Rock!!
Kristen Stewart in the movie Twilight was always supposed to look nervous, wooden, unhappy, and quiet because that is how Stephenie Meyer made her!!!!
Kristen is doing the right thing!!
p.s, my real name is Bella i did not just put it there because i love twilight!
and by the way it is kind of mean saying that Vanessa Hudgens and Brenda Song will ruin the movie.. seriously who ever said that is twisted!
