Yikes, say it ain’t so. The Jonas Brothers say they’d love to do music for "New Moon," the much-anticipated sequel to "Twilight."
Of course, that doesn’t mean they WILL do music, just that they’d like to. When asked by MTV about the possibility, the brothers said, "That would be really cool."
"[Twilight] was obviously a huge success," said Nick. "If they asked us to be a part of [New Moon], then that would be great."
Ok, is there anyone who DOESN’T want to be part of "New Moon"? I swear, everyone and their mother is looking to …read more

February 3, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Vanessa Hudgens, Disney cutie and star of the “High School Musical” movies, reportedly auditioned for a role in “New Moon,” the upcoming sequel to last year’s smash-hit vampire flick “Twilight.”
But it’s unlikely she’ll get the part – at least for now.
"I’m not sure about [final] casting, but I had heard Vanessa Hudgens was going up for the part of Leah [Clearwater, a werewolf]," screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, who wrote both films, told PEOPLE at the Directors Guild of America Awards in L.A. Saturday night. "But at the moment, the part of Leah doesn’t happen until the third movie."
Ok, …read more

February 3, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Over on Film Gecko’s "New Moon Casting News and Rumors" thread, Andrea Palmer commented that the song "Unbeautiful" by Lesley Roy (and "Breathe" by Taylor Swift – check out that video here) would make great songs for "New Moon," when Edward leaves Bella. I found this fan-made video on YouTube (by musicalemo13), and agree it would be great for "New Moon." What do you think? Would you like to see "Unbeautiful" used in "New Moon"?

Over on Film Gecko’s "New Moon Casting News and Rumors" thread, Andrea Palmer commented that the song "Breathe" by Taylor Swift would make a great tune for "New Moon," when Edward leaves Bella.

"New Moon" Casting for Native Americans
January 17, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
I have "New Moon" casting news, straight from Lana Veenker’s blog, The Casting Scoop.
While Veenker’s team did some of the casting for "Twilight," they are NOT casting for "New Moon." But after exchanging emails and phone calls with Summit Entertainment and the new L.A. casting company, they were able to talk with the new casting director who’s been hired specifically to cast the Native American roles.
René Haynes is helming the Native American casting on "New Moon," and she’s interested in hearing from anyone who fits the qualifications of the roles.

January 5, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Rumors are swirling that Vanessa Hudgens, cutie from the "High School Musical" movies might be close to signing as the character of Leah in "New Moon."
Wow, I really can’t see her in the role at all. What do you guys think about this? Maybe I need to stop thinking of her in terms of the HSM movies, since those are pretty much a done deal. I mean, she has to move on, right?
The "Twilight" sequel is in the works, with Chris Weitz in as director and filming scheduled to begin in March. Look for the vampire movie …read more

January 1, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Yep, "Twilight" heartthrob Robert Pattinson says he’s dreading his blood-sucking role in the film’s sequel, "New Moon." But it’s not for the reason you might think. He hates the contact lenses he has to wear for the movie!
Pattinson is onboard as vampire Edward Cullen in "New Moon," scheduled for a Nov. 20, 2009 release date, but he’s dreading those topaz-colored contacts he has to wear.
He tells Britain’s Ok! Magazine, "Wearing colored contact lenses … It was like I constantly had sand in my eyes. I was wearing them for three months constantly, and my eyes never ever …read more

Catherine Hardwicke recently talked with ShockTillYouDrop.com about “Twilight” and the follow-up, “New Moon,” which begins filming in March.
Hardwicke said, “New Moon’s really taking a whole other leap with this new story, and there’s really a lot of new characters in it. There’s the werewolves which is pretty crazy. All the wolves. Then there’s also going to Italy in the second book, and there’s motorcycle riding and cliff-jumping and diving. I love jumping off of cliffs. So it’s kind of up my alley – into water, yeah.”

Well, this is a no-brainer, right? Summit Entertainment announced this weekend that it’s officially moving forward with “New Moon,” the second installment of “Twilight,” which blew the box office away this weekend.
The movie will be based on the second novel in author Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” series. She stated, “I don’t think any other author has had a more positive experience with the makers of her movie adaptation than I have had with Summit Entertainment. I’m thrilled to have the chance to work with them again on ‘New Moon’.”
I predict that “New Moon” will …read more
