Behind The Scenes: 5 Things We Didn't Know About New Moon

MTV's Hollywood Crush Has 5 facts we didn't know about the Movie:

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

Our favorite on the list actually pulls from a scene in the trailer, where Bella (Kristen Stewart) is seen hitting wolf pack leader Sam Uley (Chaske Spencer). Apparently, even though Chaske has nine inches and (we’re guessing) over a hundred pounds on Kristen, she still left him black and blue after the 15 takes it took to get the shot. (Bet that was fun!)

"We did this scene and Kristen, she has a mean right hook," Chaske told MTV News (as seen in the video above) with a laugh. "She hits me — I think it's in the trailer. She hit me really hard, and I'm trying to be all guy-ish, show that she didn't hurt me in front of [the other wolf pack] guys, or I'll get teased. After 15 takes, ouch! She's a little firecracker." (I can totes see that!)

Another fun fact which also can be seen in the trailers have to do with the scene where Jacob (Taylor Lautner) jumps into Bella’s window in the Swan house. Apparently that window didn’t exist in the house used in “Twilight,” but production designer David Brisbin felt the scene was cool enough to make the change. (That does look like a sweet scene! Glad they added the window)

Speaking of houses, after the perfect home for Jacob Black was found, production designers had to repaint the house red because they were scared the color of the building, which was originally green, would upset detail-attentive fans. (Damn straight the house better be red!)

Fun fact number four is that director Chris Weitz put together a 20-page introductory pamphlet for the cast and crew the day they came on set so they would know his plan for the film – and to encourage them to improvise from there.

Finally, and most interestingly, the flight Bella and Alice (Ashley Greene) take from Seattle to Italy is clearly a Virgin America flight. This must have solely been because Virgin America bought advertising in the film, because no flights run from Washington to Italy. Sorry to those who were hoping to make that fan trek a reality.

NEW Behind the Scenes: How The Wolfpack Was Made!

This is the wolfpack featurette from MSN that @Twilight (Summit) promised.

Attack of the Wolves Part 3: Chaske Spencer

Not sure how I missed this...but here is Vanity Fair's third and final part of Attack of the Wolves with Chaske Spencer:

You said in your Twitter feed: “I love being a wolf!”
[Laughs] I like my role. When I was a kid, I was into the Anne Rice novels, but I never got to discover werewolves until this. What I like is that it’s given me a new body, actually. The workouts and all of that stuff—who doesn’t want to be a werewolf? (It’s tongue-in-cheek when I say stuff like that.)

Let’s do some wordplay. Please give one word to describe each of the actors you work with in New Moon, starting with:

Alex Meraz [“Paul”].
Primal.

Bronson Pelletier [“Jared”].
Jokester.

Kristen Stewart [“Bella Swan”].
Fighter.

Gil Birmingham [“Billy Black”].
Heart-and-soul.

Tyson Houseman [“Quil Ateara”].
Intelligent.

Kiowa Gordon [“Embry Call”].
Goofy.

Taylor Lautner [“Jacob Black”].
Loveable.

Wolfpack Featurette Tonight on MSN Movies!

That was Tweeted yesterday, so the featurette will be tonight! Wonder what it will include?

Alex Meraz Talks About Paul's "Bad Boy" Image.

Saturday Night Magazine caught up with Alex Meraz, who plays Paul, and they chatted about New Moon, Paul's "bad boy" image & more:

There must have been some fierce competition for those four new werewolf roles. What was the audition process like and how did you finally land the role of Paul?

It was an intense process. When I received the call for submissions, I had already started working out because I knew it would be physically demanding.

After a couple rounds of callbacks, I was lucky enough to land a role.

What can you tell us about Paul?

Paul is the "bad boy" of the wolf pack. He comes across as volatile, but I think he's misunderstood. He is just very proud of being Quilete and is unapologetic about being a protector for his people.

Did you and Taylor get at all competitive in terms of shirtless attributes?

First day I met Taylor I overheard him ask Edi Gathegi [who plays Laurent] if I was bigger than him. Edi answered, "He's just wider". I teased him about overhearing it and from there we became gym buddies and shared workout tips with each other.

Are you prepared for the hoard of female fans you’re about to gain?

Bring it on.

VF Interview with Kiowa Gordon: Attack of the Wolves Part 2!

Yesterday I posted the interview with Alex Meraz as part one of Vanity Fair's Attack of the Wolves, and today Kiowa Gordon is up. VF learned that he had never acted before this movie (huge bonus landing this role) and that Stephenie Meyer herself handpicked him for the role of Embry:

New Moon is your first film. What was the casting process like?

They had an open casting call here in Phoenix, and I auditioned. I was going tochurch with my mom out in Cave Creek, and Stephenie Meyer goes to church with her. She kind of helped me out on that one.

What’s it been like filming the third installment, Eclipse?

It was a lot more fun being with the guys this time around. We already knew each other, had new stuff to talk about, a new director, and we actually had some scenes with the Cullens [the saga’s main vampire clan].

Give me one word to describe each actor:

Taylor Lautner [“Jacob Black”].
Innocent.

Bronson Pelletier [“Jared”].
[Laughs] Jokester!

Tyson Houseman [“Quil Ateara”].
Smart.

Kristen Stewart [“Bella Swan”].
Edgy.

Gil Birmingham [“Billy Black”].
Papa!

Chaske Spencer [“Sam Uley”].
Leader.

Jacob Black's 2 Wolf Transformations...Scary!

"Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" (ME!)

New Moon Movie has this shot of the two wolves Jacob has transformed into...they definetly made him bigger and scarier the second time!!

Wow...they both look great! At first I wasn't sure if I liked the second one...now I think I do! What is your pick?

VF Interview with Alex Meraz: Deets on New Moon, Eclipse & His Castmates!

Vanity Fair has a great interview with Wolfpack member Alex Meraz where he talks about New Moon, Eclipse & the other wolfpack members:

What was your favorite scene to shoot?
The cliff diving scene was the most fun because the whole Wolf Pack was there and we were jumping off these 50-foot scaffolding things onto an air mattress. It was pretty exciting to be able to do our own stunts.

What was it like filming the third installment, Eclipse?
It was no pressure. The pressure was doing the job on the first one, trying to understand the character. On this one, I felt a little bit more comfortable with what I was doing. I already knew the cast, so it was a lot easier.

I especially liked this part where he describes, in one word, his cast mates:

Are you up for some wordplay? Please give me one word that describes some of the New Moon actors starting with the Wolf Pack.

OK, Bronson Pelletier [who plays “Jared”] …
Aw, man. [Laughs] Jokester!

Kiowa Gordon [aka “Embry Call”].
Bewilderment. [Laughs] He's always thrust in these crazy situations that … he's pretty young. At 19, I didn't have these crazy things. I mean, I'm 24—I consider myself a man. I have a wife, a son, and I've had some practical life experience. This kid just got thrown into it, so it's new to him. To me he always has this bewilderment about him.

Tyson Houseman [“Quil Ateara”].
He'll know what this means. Vespa. Scooter.

Taylor Lautner [“Jacob Black”]
Taylor! Loyal.

Gil Birmingham [“Billy Black”].
One word is really hard. I would say … intuitive.

Chaske Spencer [“Sam Uley”].
Aw man, love him. Wisdom.

Kristen Stewart [“Bella Swan”].
Aw, she's awesome. I would say badass.

Rob Pattinson [“Edward Cullen’].
Patient.

Carlisle, The Wolf pack & Leah & Seth?!

What is up with the wolfpack robes? Are they going to the spa? Am I forgetting a scene where they all come out of Jacob's House wearing Robes?! Are they just cold from being sexy shirtless all the time?
