There aren’t any official New Moon posters for the Voltur yeti, so NMM.org reader TalieX decided to give it a go. I think it’s a fresh and unique approach–what do you guys think? Talie also sent in her mashup of the official New Moon posters with Bella, Edward, Jacob and the wolf pack joined together similar to the desktop wallpaper we saw a few days ago. Read on to see the poster.
The fountain being erected in the main square of Montepulciano, Italy for New Moon is coming along at a rapid clip. Recent pictures indicate that it looks nearly complete. In addition the pictured thrones may be props to be used by the Volturi in the movie.
Check out the rest of the post at TwilightItalia, and also some videos they have as well as a picture of Robert Pattinson’s body double.
Entertainment Tonight, who were the first to gain exclusive access to the Vancouver New Moon set, have just revealed that they’ll be doing another similar project in Italy! Thea Andrews from ET revealed this news in the pictured Tweet. Hopefully we’ll see thorough coverage this time!
There is an article about New Moon in the issue of Entertainment Weekly hitting newsstands soon, and it has some amazing never-before-seen pictures from the movie shoot in Vancouver. The juicy pics include Edward kissing Bella, Laurent in a purple jacket touching Bella’s face, and Bella’s dress with the papercut scene!
Be on the lookout to buy your copy, as it looks to be a doozy of an article!
The clocktower/city hall in Montepulciano, Italy was outfitted with a stunning array of red flags and banners today in prepration for the New Moon filming which will begin there very shortly. These join the ones spotted off the main square we told you about yesterday. TwilightersItalia says–
They’re preparing for Saint Marcus day! Today a pickup loaded with red flags and ensigns was spotted in the main square, Piazza Grande. A few hours later all over the front of the cityhall there were those flags pinned. Meanwhile the fountain is now almost finished and today it was painted with waterproof so now it seems a little more whitish!
Check out the rest of the pics over at TwilightersItalia!
Haha! Check out this awesome new FunnyOrDie video featuring Twilight baddie Cam Gigandet in a run-in with some Twilight fans.
And as the video says, vote, vote, and vote again for Twilight in the MTV Movie Awards!
The first time Stella sees Edweird Sullen:
I continued to scan the Sullens’ table for another available stud and quickly found one who was nearly as hot as Casper. Again I queried Maria, this time about the youngest Sullen boy, trying to hide my newly-formed schoolgirl crush on him.
“The boy over there, with the perfect face, nose, eyes, and lips…and chiseled chin, broad shoulders, strapping chest and tree trunk arms…and that V-shaped torso, thin waist and muscular legs like that of an Olympic cyclist. And perfectly manicured finger and toenails. Who is he, and what’s his story?”
“Oh, that’s Edweird,” she said, rolling her eyes as if they were the seven and ten pins teetering and deciding whether to fall down or not. “He’s dreamy. But he doesn’t date. Apparently, even the best looking girls in the school are not good enough for him. Rumor has it that he’s only interested in five foot four, average looking dark haired girls who only recently moved to Sporks from a hot climate state beginning with the letter “A.” Go find someone who fits that description!” Maria dejectedly shook her head, the contents of her shot glass riding up and spilling over the sides. She leaned down close to the table, shot out her pink tongue and lapped up the droplets.
I now turned my full attention to Edweird. Edweird looked as though he was transplanted to Sporks from the pages of Greek mythology. He was tall, with long, lean muscles, perfect angular features, and boyish good looks — remarkably like the boy who played Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter movies, but with spiky hair. That’s all I’m going to tell you about Edweird now, but don’t you worry: I’ll be describing his perfection from this point on every chance I get in four — count ‘em, four — amazingly long (and expensive) books.
Meh. I’ll pass. The humor is a bit too angry for my taste, but I can see the appeal. What are your thoughts? It can be purchased now at Amazon.
According to Life & Style Magazine–which tends to exaggerate rumors–there will be some substantial changes in the New Moon movie compared to the book. There are some changes we’ve heard of, like Edward appearing as images rather than voices, but there are some changes we haven’t–
Apparently, Bella takes a more daredevil approach in the film, pushing fate in order to make Edward appear to her.
Filmmakers couldn’t resist Robert Pattinson’s draw, and instead of coming to Bell as a disembodied voice, he appears like an apparition…or like Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars. To which Pattinson expresses some concern, saying, “I really wanted it to be a complete absence. It’s easier to give it more power at the end if I’m completely absent.”
There’s also an action-packed scene wherein Laurent fights back against the werewolves who destroy him in the book.
Additionally, in the book Edward says he will turn Bella into a vampire only if they marry. In the movie, however, he offers a different ultimatum.
Yes, you heard that last one correctly. Hopefully it’s just a spurious rumor. What do you guys think?
Kitzie's NOTE: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Stick with the D*MN BOOK!

The yellow Porsche that Alice will drive in New Moon has been discovered in Montepulciano, Italy! Ale at TwilightersItalia sends in this report–
The big man you can see in some pictures is one of the stuntmen. He had an Alice wig, a bandana, a couple of elbow high red gloves, and seemingly from far he actually looked like our loved little vampire/pixie.
Mauro secretly told us that there are two yellow porsche in Montepulciano, placed in different places of the town. As they were not exactly identical, one had yellow brake pad cover and another had them red, Production was willing to spend to the incredible amount of €5800 PER PIECE to have them all red!!!
Luckily they found out a way to paint them, but this episode says a lot on how high is this movie’s budget!!!
The helicopter we told you about ealier, has kept low-flying whole day long filming aerial of the main square.. The fountain is not finished yet, so probably this was a rehearsal or shooting for the DVD’s extra-contents .
Check out the rest of the awesome pics over at TwilightersItalia!
Red flags and banners have begun to spring up all around Montepulciano in preparation for the scenes that will be filmed for New Moon soon in the Italian city. A giant fountain is being constructed in front of the fateful clock tower as well. As for the red flags and banners, YuN from Italy says–
Ladycullen, who sent in the pics, notes that ironically the sign on the right says “Donate Blood”. Read on for more amazing photos as well as a video looking down at the plaza.The red flags are because of the old district that is going to be used in the Piazza Grande shot. The production chose some of the districts in Montepulciano with red colors, the ones mainly used during the celebration.
In particular they chose the Voltaia district, asking them to participate as extras to the movie, in the mob, to show the feeling of an organized carnival, with flags and costumes really existing.
Though New Moon will be filmed in Montepulciano Italy, the original was set in Volterra. Fans flocking to Volterra to check out the locations from New Moon are in luck: the local tourism office has made a special map to hand out for self-guided tours of all the sights. There are also shops selling handsome New Moon themed glassware.
Sarah writes about her recent trip–
From the informaton office on the Pallazzo dei Priori you can recieve a free official New Moon Volterra map which you can follow the exact route that Bella, Alice and Edward took.
First you enter the Porta Francesco, then follow the road where Alice drove into the city, Alice then drops Bella of at the entrance to the Pallazzo, where Bella has two minutes to find Edward, Bella then finds Edward in the alleyway (vicolo mazzoni). Edward and Bella are then led through the streets to the Viti house ( this is fun because the basement is all set up for Twilight fans and there is a special wall for them to write messages on). Edward and Bella then run through the dark archway leaving the city (Porta all Arco)
On the way around there are shops where you can buy Twilight stuff, we bought a few Twilight necklaces and a Twilight apple.
If there was ever any doubt that Robert Pattinson wouldn’t be appearing in the fourth movie of the Twilight Saga,Breaking Dawn, he has confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter that he’ll be appearing in the film–
Pattinson told The Hollywood Reporter that he is committed to starring in the final outing to date but doesn’t know when backers Summit Entertainment will begin production because of the actor’s jam-packed shooting schedule.
He also talked a bit about the fact he’ll be appearing as a flittering image of Bella Swan’s mind in New Moon–instead of just a voice:
Said Pattinson, laughing: “You’re playing a figment in Bella’s imagination so I was trying to do it in a 2-D way. I hope it doesn’t translate onscreen as being boring.” The hardworking actor is taking a few days off after completing “New Moon” before the start of the “Remember Me” shoot. He plans three days off after an eight-week planned shoot for “Remember Me” before finishing “Eclipse” before October.
E! has revealed that the first glimpse we’ll have of the finished New Moon product is coming very soon–during the MTV Movie Awards at the end of the month, on May 31st!
Get ready for some New Moon. And nope, we’re not talking about a new set of paparazzi pics of Robert Pattinson & Co.
I can exclusively reveal that footage from the Twilight sequel will be shown for the first time during the upcoming MTV Movie Awards,
Awards show producer Mark Burnett says Patzz, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will hit the stage together to present the clip.
Bring it on! Read the rest at E!

In preparation for the upcoming New Moon exterior shots in Montepulciano, Italy, there is a temporary fountain being installed in the main plaza! TwilightersItalia has the photos!
The Peninsula Daily News takes an interesting look at the changing face of Forks from sleepy timber town to burgeoning tourist destination with the success of Twilight. The town recognizes all the fans visiting, and has started to offer advice just for the Twilight visitors–
Visitors can pick up a colorful map of the action sites in the book and go off on a self-guided tour, hoping to catch sight of the occasional vampire (on a cloudy day) or a werewolf (non-seasonal).
Their fantasy is fed by the Chamber of Commerce-run Visitor Information Center, where mail for the vampire Cullen family is being saved and where props for exciting photos are treasured and shared.
Directions to other activities and information on Olympic National Park, the former big draw, are offered as well.
Residents are showing a tolerant, slightly amused face to visitors and often recognize the plight of their photo-happy visitors and offer to snap a picture of a group of tourists.
Check out the rest of the article at the Peninsula Daily News. Also, check out a fan’s trip report to Forks, as well.
