Larry Carroll's thoughts and thinks
Larry Carroll has expressed his opinions on Eclipse's new Director, David Slade
In case you haven’t heard the news, the director of “Eclipse” has been officially chosen. And my own personal first thoughts when I heard the news? Well, I have like a million of them.
I’ve interviewed David Slade before, and he’s a very smart, charismatic guy who harnesses some immense filmmaking tools. That said, I definitely thought “30 Days of Night” was a disappointment. It had a lot of fatal flaws in it, usually whenever the blood would stop flowing and it was time for us to actually start caring about the characters. “Hard Candy” also flirted with moments of brilliance, but I still feel like Slade’s best work is ahead of him.
What I am beginning to enjoy, however, is Summit’s decision to hire a different director for each film. Which is surprising, because I was definitely hoping that Catherine Hardwicke would oversee the entire series after the first “Twilight” became such a big hit. But if you’re a movie buff (and not just a Twilighter first and foremost), this is developing into a very interesting cinematic experiment.
And whereas Weitz seems likely to try and play things closer to Hardwicke’s blueprint, Slade is the kind of proudly defiant filmmaker who will want to shake things up a bit. For better or worse, the end result is going to be a trilogy of films filtered through three very different lenses.
Will Slade depict his vampires more violently than Stephenie Meyer imagined in the novels? Will he give such thespian-minded stars as Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart the opportunity to dig deeper into the sadistic nature of Edward and Bella’s romance – or will his thirst for boy-friendly action push the film too far in the other direction? Most importantly: Does this mean that Josh Hartnett is gonna play Seth Clearwater?
All these questions, and many more, remain to be answered in the months to come.

Filming with the wolves!
This girl claims that she and her friend got to one of the sets of New Moon. It sounds pretty ligit.
Here's her account from her blog.
Last Night we cruised many of the sets we'd previously went by and seen nothing and while passing one had some clues that perhaps they were filming.
While there had been signs for a different movie (that had apparently been filming there last week) we figured it wouldn't hurt to scope it out - just in case.... (most of our successes have been by checking out the impossible - just in case)
So we parked and walked up to the security dude and asked if we were allowed in.... he said "not with your car, but you can walk" (Well DUH we were already walking - sheesh!)
This was a private security guy - not the security team typically used, we really thought we were on another false hope.... but continued anyways.
As we got closer, there were still no signs of life... really... dark, empty, nothing...
still... we carried on - just in case.
As we got further in we came across bright blinding lights in the distance.... it was pretty far but we KNEW it meant filming - - - but of what?!?!
So we kept trekking - pitch black - but we had each other ha ha ha
Then we came across tents... these were tents similar to other sets, but again, other movies could use the same tents.... still not proof....
So finally we get to trailors - similar to other sets... and crew... no one seems familiar...
We ask one gentleman if we can head "up" (up the street where the blinding film lights are obviously coming from - - hey - might as well ask - - JUST IN CASE!!! ;) ha ha)
So he says *excited* "I wouldn't, they are bringing a WOLF down"
*inner squeeeeee* I appear calm but holy moly I was ANYTHING but calm.... a wolf?!?!?
MeMy and I exchanged glances - we'd hit the jackpot!!!
We waited and watched as two trainers brought down the most beautiful, large, wolf.
I am no animal expert so I don't know what type of wolf it was but it was big, it was grey, with bits of white in it... it was stunning to see.
We waited a bit - unsure how to proceed, but decided not to push our luck trying to go up to the actual set... instead we chatted with a crew member and figured out (as if the wold wasn't enough) that it was New Moon filming.
We did *NOT* find out who was up there - My assumption is that it would be the scene where Bella and Laurent meet and the Wolf Pack comes - or it could be background shots or other Wolf Shots.
what do you think?

Stephanie's original Edward
The man who was the center of Stephanie's dream world has spoken!
How close did 25-year-old British actor Henry Cavill come to playing Edward Cullen?
“Twilight” fans have long lingered over author Stephenie Meyer’s assertion that the actor would have been her “perfect Edward,” pre-Robert Pattinson of course. Nowadays, RPattz has become the hottest young star in Hollywood, and Cavill is instead starring in the Woody Allen comedy “Whatever Works,” opening July 1. And when we caught up with him recently, the actor revealed that his star-making “casting” never made it far beyond Meyer’s lips.
“I’ve heard this, but I haven’t heard from Stephenie,” Cavill insisted, saying he’s never had any contact with the best-selling writer. “I haven’t spoken to her personally, and I haven’t spoken to the producers.”
Flashback to the early days of the “Twilight” movie, when casting was about to begin and Meyer posted the following thoughts on the movie’s lead: “Indisputably the most difficult character to cast, Edward is also the one that I’m most passionately decided upon. The only actor I’ve ever seen who I think could come close to pulling off Edward Cullen is Henry Cavill. Henry was Albert, the young son in ‘The Count of Monte Cristo.’ Can you see it? I know I can!”
After some development delays, Meyer updated her thoughts and said that Cavill had grown too old: “The most disappointing thing for me is losing my perfect Edward. … I’m not willing to relinquish Henry completely. … I propose that Henry play Carlisle!”
But regardless of Meyer’s suggestions, Twilighters would eventually fall in love with Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen and Peter Facinelli as his ageless father. “What I’ve heard, or pieced together from various sources, is that Stephenie had seen me in whatever jobs I had done previously, and I was probably perfect then,” grinned Cavill, remembering his near-casting. “But then, the ravages of time had taken their toll.”
Laughing, the good-natured actor added: “I hate myself.”
Ultimately, Cavill suspected, the three years between Pattinson and himself were the main obstacle that kept him from becoming Edward. “By the time the movie came around, I didn’t look right for the character,” he explained, adding: “No one even called me or my agent.”
But still, Cavill said he holds no ill will and that whenever he finds time between a busy schedule that includes “Whatever Works,” “The Tudors” and the upcoming Tarsem Singh flick “War of the Gods,” he’d like to watch Pattinson in action. “I haven’t seen it yet,” he said of the “Twilight” movie. “My brother saw it and said he loved it. I hope to check it out soon.”

Yummy Wolfpack
I wouldn't mind being attacked by these wolves:) yummy!
This is an article from USA Today.
It took a couple of months and thousands of hopefuls to find a quartet that fits the requirements for New Moon’s wolf pack.
No. 1 on the list: Native American or First Nation ancestry, because their characters belong to the Quileute tribe, based in La Push, Wash., both in the book and in real life.
“They had to have papers that proved their heritage,” says director Chris Weitz, who was the one who insisted on hiring within the community. “And they had to be in good physical shape.”
The Twilight sequel is filming now, and between takes, the actors usually are working out with barbells, doing push-ups or chowing down on steak, Weitz says. “They went through wolf camp together, and they are in constant training. It paid off as a bonding thing for them and helped them to get to know one another. They drove each other to get more buff.”
No amount of weightlifting, however, would allow them to act out the wolf portion of their performances; the beasts are about the size of horses and race around on all fours.
Instead, the transformations are computer-generated, although one part of each wolf might seem familiar.
“They all have the actor’s eyes,” Weitz says.
Step aside, aloof vampires with all your undead issues. The wolf pack is ready to howl.
Unlike cold-blooded neck biters, these poster guys for animal magnetism are hot. So hot that their temperature runs a steady 108 degrees, as anyone who has read Stephenie Meyer’s series of gothic romances knows.
That gives them a great excuse to doff their shirts on-screen and expose the physiques they’ve been pumping up for playing werewolves in The Twilight Saga:New Moon, the sequel to last year’s supernatural sensation, due Nov. 20.
Four actors — Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Bronson Pelletier, all with Native American heritage — join Taylor Lautner, 17, who returns as a hairier, scarier Jacob Black. The plotline finds Jacob growing closer to a distraught Bella (Kristen Stewart) after her vampire beau, Edward, runs off.
Among wolf pack job requirements: the ability to work half-naked no matter what the weather in the Vancouver, B.C., area, where the film has been shooting for several weeks.
“It’s not pleasant for the actors,” says director Chris Weitz. “But they have all been good-natured. They show up on location in drenching, cold rain, and I say, ‘OK, off with the robes.’ “

Breakup scene being shot?
According to Nikki Reed, Rob and Kristen were shooting the dreaded breakup scene today!
EEEKKK!!!
here's what she said when she arrived in LAX:
As for what’s happening today on set:
They’re shooting a scene around the woods involving Edward and Bella. Edward has to go, then leaves, then seems to be in anguish. Something about “taking his soul”. It’s the break up.
i'm so not excited about this scene!
New Stephanie Meyer Post
Stephanie Meyer just put up a new post updating everyone on how things are going. From the "law suit" to filming. It's on her official website.
Here's the article:
There are a lot of things I should be doing updates on—for example, how awesome and successful the Book Babe event was, and how cool it was to meet all the other authors and hang out with them a little bit, and how much I appreciated all the tremendous support from the fans—but instead of commenting on happy things (which I admit I should have done a week ago; I was waiting for things to slow down for a day, silly me!), I'm commenting on ridiculous internet rumors so that my publicist's day will be just a little bit better.
I am not being sued. No one has contacted me or my publisher to inform either of us that I'm being sued. I never had a roommate named Heidi. There is no professor in the BYU English department named Dr. Peter Benton (though there is a character on ER by that name). And most of all, I began writing Twilight exactly the way I've told people in countless interviews and events for the past six years: I had a cool dream, I wrote it down, writing it down was really fun, so I kept writing until I had a whole book.
The sad thing about this silly situation is that so many legitimate news outlets reported it without doing any research at all to determine if there was any truth to the story. And at least two of these facts are really, really easy to confirm. Particularly, the one about the BYU professor. A simple on-line search can give you that information. Also, a quick call to my publisher would have cleared up the whole lawsuit story. (Kudos to the fansites who did their due diligence and debunked this rumor days ago.)
I guess the moral of the story is that—big surprise—you can't believe everything you read on the internet. Seems like it's April Fool's Day every day on-line. So no worries, the filming of New Moon continues uninterrupted. And, to end this on a bright note, the filming of New Moon continues to be awesome. It's all so beautiful! Chris Weitz is brilliant. Kristen, Rob, and Taylor are beyond words. I have gotten choked up more than once on set due to their amazing performances. I can't wait to see it all put together!

Twlight Tours
Forks, Washington has a hotel who is actually giving out tours of where the cast has been! I wonder where they take you> haha
here's the article:
In the real-life, scenic northwest town where the 'Twilight' novels take place, one lodge is offering tours of the hotspots that Edward and Bella have visited!
The Kalaloch Lodge in Forks, Washington, is enticing guests to "view the sites that mark the milestones in Bella and Edward's romance," reports Variety.
The trade says that for $149 a night, the lodge directs guests to the very beaches that Bella walked, among other familiar destinations, such as Forks High School and the Forks Community Hospital.
"We wanted to capture all of the publicity surrounding 'Twilight,'" says Beth Showalter, director of sales and marketing at Kalaloch Lodge. "During the summer last year, Forks was reporting 500 to 600 visitors a day because of the books."
Hmmm....ultimate stalker tour:)

The "humans" are done already?
Apparently the humans are already done shooting their scenes. Christian Serratos (Angela) has blogged that she has finished filming in Vancouver. Here's what she wrote:
I am finished filming New Moon. It was great to see everyone again!
Chris Weitz was great! I can't believe that I have been so fortunate to have worked with such talented people in such a short time. Stephenie, Catherine, Chris and more. I am so grateful! This time around I felt more comfortable letting the team know that when I was dressed as Angela, I and Angela would prefer to be dressed animal cruelty free and they obliged. They were awesome! I'm so thankful that they went out of there way to find items that did not have animal products in them. It was touching.
Today I did a shoot for PETA to help provent the slaughter/murder of seals. Wearing fur is NOT sexy or cool. Taking a stance and being your own person is the coolest/sexiest thing you can do. I think fur belongs on the animal, your pet. Take notice. Take part. Don't allow the slaughter.
I love you all,
love the seals,
Christian Serratos
So soon? They just got there!
Also i'm very happy for her being so strong about her stance on fur. GO Christian:)
