New Moon Cast at Rome Film Festival

Cameron Bright, Melissa Rosenberg, Charlie Bewley, and Jamie Campbell-Bower were all at the Rome Film Festival to debut New Moon clips for the Italian fans.

“Breaking Dawn: will it be filmed? When?”
Rosenberg and the actors declined to answer, and only said they are perfectly happy with the first three films. (They didn’t say “We don’t know yet”, they actually skirted the question…) Rosenberg said she has chosen to focus on the emotional journey of the book, and tried to replicate it in her script. This meant condensing some scenes, expanding other scenes with more action sequences. In the first movie she was very protective of her script, and felt Meyer was a strong external influence; but this time she realized Meyer was very cooperative, and a pleasure to work with.”

Black Book Magazine Features Twilight Stars

Black Book Magazine has two featurettes on Twilight stars.

First up is Anna Kendrick sporting a sultry almost retro Ann Margaret look. When asked how she felt about all the attention she is getting for her new film, Up In The Air, which co-stars George Clooney, Anna said:

“I’m allowing myself to think about the possibility that this could be a big deal, because I think the worst thing would be to get caught off guard.”

You can catch the rest of Anna’s article here.

Next is Jamie Campbell Bower who has three major items coming up in teh near future: New Moon, The Prisnoer with Ian McKellan, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. When asked what it was like being on the set of New Moon, Jamie responded:

“I was terrified.I was like, Oh my God, what am I doing? Am I saying the right things? Am I being cool? I don’t know if I’m cool! These cats better like me!”

Are you ready to face the phenomenon of fans as massive as the inherent ‘Twilight’?
“I’m prepared for anything, I’ll take it as it comes. In fact do not consider myself a celebrity and I do not understand what is going on. It is an honor that people want to take pictures with me and ask me for autographs, but for me it is incomprehensible. “

People Magazine: Volturi Feature

This issue of People Magazine that hits news stands today has a major Volturi feature.  The picture of Charlie Bewley menacingly clutching Ashley Greene’s throat is particularly fabulous!  According to People:

“In New Moon, the second installment in Stephenie Meyer’s wildly popular Twilight saga, readers are first introduced to the ancient ruling class of vampires known as the Volturi. Determined to capture their creepy menace for his screen version opening Nov. 20, New Moon director Chris Weitz has given them custom-crafted blood-red eyes.

“They’re all hand-painted, specially manufactured contacts,” Weitz tells PEOPLE. “They’re opaque red, almost like preying mantis eyes. You can’t really see into them. There’s something terribly off-putting about it.”

There are fabulous high quality pictures on the People site, way better than the scans that leaked earlier in the week. Go check it out on People. We are not posting the pictures here at the request of People magazine.

MTV: Jamie Campbell Bower Comic Con Interview

Jamie Campell Bower in The Prisoner

Knowing nothing about upcoming AMC series  The Prisoner, we decided to attend its panel discussion at Comic Con to learn more about this project that co-stars Jamie Campbell Bower.  We are glad we did because now we are really interested in seeing this remake of a classic 1960’s UK sci-fi series.

AMC describes the show as,  “ A man, known as “Six,” finds himself inexplicably trapped in “The Village” with no memory of how he arrived. As he explores his environment, he discovers that his fellow inhabitants are identified by number instead of name, have no memory of any prior existence, and are under constant surveillance. Not knowing whom to trust, Six is driven by the need to discover the truth behind The Village, the reason for his being there, and most importantly — how he can escape.”  In the series the leader of The Village is played by Ian McKellan and Jamie Campbell-Bower plays his son, who based on the clips shown, starts to question the life he has always known.

One of our favorite parts of the panel discussion was when Jamie was asked.  “What was it like having Magneto as your father?”, but Jamie held it together and came up with a sincere answer, “It was such a pleasure working with Ian. He is one of the finest actors that has ever lived. I feel blessed to be able to learn from someone of that calibre.”

There are two videos from the AMC site. One is the panel discussion that we saw and the second is Jamie Campbell-Bower interviewing Ian McKellan on set. (Make sure you check out the prisoner site because there are three more videos there.)

Fandango: Exclusive With Jamie Campbell Bower

Fandango snagged Jamie Campbell Bower for an exclusive chat while on the set of New Moon.

Q. Were you prepared to be a part of the Twilight madness?
Campbell Bower:
Nothing has really prepared me for that. I got off the plane the other night when I arrived and there were five guys waiting there asking if I could take a picture with them. That was weird enough! I was like, “Why? Uh, OK. Yes, of course I can. You know I’m nobody, right?” It’s really interesting, and I only hope that, with the support that I’m getting from people at the moment, I will live up to it in the film. My Twitter fan base between last month and this month has gone up 6,000 people. That is craziness! That is really, really bizarre.”
