Amid reports fuelled by fanatical Twilight fans, MTV has confirmed that they will broadcast a one minute sneak peek of the highly anticipated Twilight sequel, New Moon, at this year’s Andy Samberg hosted MTV Movie Awards, which will air live at the ceremony on May 31. The New Moon news had first been reported by Entertainment Tonight, which was one of the few media outlets, that got exclusive Twilight coverage of New Moon while the production recently filmed in Vancouver, BC.
The highly anticipated New Moon clip will be presented by the Twilight Saga stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner, all of whom grace the recently released official poster for New Moon. Although the MTV Movie Awards is one of the year’s most popular televised ceremonies, there is little doubt that fans of the Twilight franchise will be tuning in for one specific reason.
With New Moon slated for release on November 20, 2009, the second film in The Twilight Saga has already become one of the year’s hottest search items on the internet, as fans fuel the demand for more news on the biggest supernatural love triangle since Buffy the Vampire Slayer and her two vampire admirers.
Although New Moon is still six months away from theaters, with the third installment in The Twilight Saga, Eclipse, set to begin filming in the fall of 2009, there’s no slowing down for the Twilight train and its legions of fans on the New Moon tracks of love. MTV will undoubtedly see a major spike in its ratings for one New Moon minute, which will be a Twilight testament to the power of vampire prowess both on and off the screen.
The MTV awards will air on May 31, 2009 at 8pm EST.
Excited? I am! This is the sneak peak we’ve all been hanging out for! Once the video go’s online, I’ll post it up here.
The first book in the Twilight Saga introduced Bella Swan to a mass audience, a young female character who navigates her way through the conflicting waters of self-awareness and change. With the arrival of the handsome and mysterious Edward Cullen, those rough young seas become even more emotionally difficult to wade through. As the saga continues, New Moon picks up where Twilight left off as we see the deeper development of Edward and Bella’s relationship. Although us Twilight fans become invested in the progression of their relationship, New Moon is rife with conflict when Bella finds herself confronting life without her man. And it’s this very conflict, both internal and external, that has some Twilight and New Moon fans voicing their opinions throughout the online Twilight community over what it may or may not say about whether women need their male counterparts for emotional stability and are dependent on men for self worth and identity.
Is there more to this than meets the Twilight eye?
In recent months since New Moon has been in the public eye, Twilight Saga author, Stephenie Meyer, has gone on record to say that she never intended to imprint a feminist angle into her story. On her official website, Meyer admitted that the story crosses different genres. The romantic angle is most certainly present, coupled with an adventurous spirit, but what sets the story apart from others in the fictional vampire genre is the development of each character in The Twilight Saga.
Mending a Broken Heart
With so much pressure on the Twilight stars of New Moon, Kristen Stewart is tasked with depicting one of the decade’s most popular female protagonists in a series that continues to garner more attention by young girls and women of all ages by the day. In New Moon there’s a definite clash between Bella’s love for Edward, her own emotional fortitude, and coming to a point of self-realization. The New Moon novel paints a depressing picture of Bella as she struggles to live each day with a painful inner void after the loss of Edward. Wrought with emotional turmoil, Bella’s only supporting link to the real world is Jacob Black who steps out of the Twilight shadows to become the major male presence in New Moon.
Although there’s an emotional void that Bella confronts because of Edward, it’s not unlike the turmoil that anyone struggles with when they fall head-over-heels in love for the first time, male or female. Young couples often split and go their separate ways, especially during the emotionally volatile period of high school. Despite what some female fans think in terms of strong, positive messages for young females, the ripple effect of conflict within Bella, at this stage of her life, is justified. Bella isn’t the only one grieving either, as her turmoil affects those around her, from her father to Edward who’s dealing with his own sense of loss in a different way.
When dealing with any new relationship that goes south, it takes time to mend a broken heart. But it’s often because of the loss and emotional journey that many young women find a stronger sense of themselves. Not always, but without loss there can’t be inner recovery to come out a better woman. Does it mean Bella needs Edward to be her own person? No. It’s a journey she’d most likely take with any guy, Edward or not. It’s what she learns about herself and the world she lives in that’s most important.
In New Moon, exactly how Kristen Stewart will rise from the ashes in a positive light is an intriguing question. It’s no small feat for a girl of five feet, four inches, but like any young woman who has had to mend a broken heart, it is not impossible.
Heroine or Damsel in Distress
One of the most important character development challenges for Kristen Stewart is to bring Bella’s emotional turmoil to life in a believable manner on deeper levels than what we saw in Twilight. On an acting level, Bella’s conflict will require some form of personal identification with the character’s torment. Again, Stephenie Meyer expressed her thoughts about the female presence in the films and Kristen on her website, writing that she was excited for Stewart to play Bella because of her diverse acting ability. Spin? Maybe. But given what Bella faces in the shadows of love, it’s interesting to wonder exactly how Kristen Stewart is connecting to her character’s pain behind the camera. At 19, is Kristen Stewart a damsel in distress within some of the larger emotional towers of Bella Swan? I don’t mean whether Stewart knows Bella enough, of course she does, but rather how she’ll relate to and overcome certain challenges that she may or may not have experienced in real life.
Given the already established New Moon source material, is Bella Swan a damsel in distress or a young woman in transition? It depends. Is the glass half empty or half full? Who’s the one that really needs to be rescued, Bella or Edward? Although some may see things from the female angle only, New Moon also speaks to the perceptions that men have toward women. It’s a two way street that some may say portrays Bella as a weak young woman.
For Kristen Stewart, as an actress, there’s a delicate balance of emotion that needs to be conveyed in translating Bella’s depression to the big screen. Like Robert Pattinson, who faces his own challenges with Edward, there’s deeper, more evolved substance to translate than Twilight. Although I’m confident that the final translation will be effective, it’s exciting to wonder how Stewart will walk the fine line between grieving girlfriend and recovering daredevil. Interestingly, the image of Kristen Stewart as Bella in the recently released official New Moon teaser poster doesn’t show any signs of pain or depression, with Taylor Lautner’s Jacob Black standing as a shield between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. If anyone, you can see the pain in Edward’s expression and posture. Instead Bella maintains her own “independent” gaze, which is angled away from both Edward and Jacob.
From a positive female vantage point, the image of Bella on the New Moon teaser appears to be a sign of strength. Although Bella does rely heavily on Jacob in New Moon (who doesn’t rely on someone at a time of loss?), with Edward still living in her mind, Bella only has herself to rely on when making a profound life-altering decision in New Moon. In the fast paced acting world of Hollywood filled with young female actresses who are often away from home and their families, it’s safe to say that Kristen Stewart has had to rely on herself countless times to find the strength to survive in such an adult (often male) dominated industry. And to some degree when looking at New Moon, this is where Bella and Kristen meet.
Although Bella is fearless at times, there is a co-dependency that even Stephanie Meyer may not have anticipated. Is she a damsel in distress during her depression or simply vulnerable? As with any popular novel, the characters begin to lead new lives beyond the author’s hand and expectations. If anything, it appears that Kristen Stewart is stepping into the unique shoes of a classic heroine with a contemporary twist.
Girl Power and Presence
Over the past few months, most of the Twilight and New Moon headlines have largely focused on Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. In relation to New Moon news, some weeks have felt as though Kristen Stewart is simply a supporting player in the shadows of the Saga. With so much attention on Pattinson and Lautner, it also feels as if Stewart has to work even harder to maintain her own unique presence within Bella, as the character deals with conflict. Sure the New Moon cast members are friends, but it sometimes looks like the male co-stars of New Moon are overshadowing the lead female. After all, the major demographic of The Twilight Saga is female. Is there an added challenge for Stewart to not be washed away by a tidal wave of Edward and Jacob lovers? Could something as unseen and unspoken as this have an impact on her performance? Who knows, but it’s certainly an inner dilemma that some women of all ages can relate to in real life. Both Bella Swan and Kristen Stewart will need every ounce of that Stephenie Meyer dubbed diversity to ensure neither gets swept away by the male New Moon stars.
Despite the criticism and the negative stereotyping, what many fans of The Twilight Saga have come to realize is that the story is not about feminist expectations, weak messages for young women, or poignant portrayals of heroism. If you look close enough, sure, you can see anything. That’s the end result of art, creativity, and individual perceptions. What one young female gets out of New Moon and Bella may not be what others take away. New Moon is a love story that pits the characters against their own flaws in order to find the balance within themselves.
For Bella Swan, her journey in New Moon is essential to developing her own understanding of love and loss as a young adult. By no means does this create a template that all young girls and women MUST follow as a guide to handle conflict. Instead it punctuates the intensity of first love relationships, which many of us will feel for the rest of our lives. Kristen Stewart is merely bringing the emotions of her character to life. The execution of that depiction can only be enhanced by her personal development and growth as a person after similar real life experiences. It’s the same for any actor yet often a bigger challenge for younger actors just stepping into the world as an adult, which mirrors our own first steps into real world love. In the end, it’s simply a story about love and conflict that many women of all ages can (or will eventually) relate to on some level.

A very interesting view point from Nadya Vlassoff. About the girl power and presence, I mean this franchise/series is aimed at female gender hence marketing wise it would seem prudent to have a male show case rather than a female. Not saying that Kristen should not be on the front page; of course she should. She plays the lead character Bella. I guess Summit are taking advantage of all the media hype and screaming 13 year old girls to further plunge Rob and Taylor onto the spotlight. What do you think?
Robert Pattinson was auctioned off today at Cannes for the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS 2009 Cocktail Party. Due to the high bids, Pattinson was split between two bidders, who each paid €20,000 for the chance to meet, greet and win a kiss on the cheek from the ‘Twilight’ idol. Check out the video to see Harvey Weinstein introduce Robert Pattinson who was blushing . Harvey explains that all three of his young daughters want to marry the actor!
Well done Rob, you’ve raised a lot of money for a good cause. Though I don’t think I could afford €20,000, how much would you pay to have a kiss from Robert Pattinson?
This in from Twilighters Italia 2.0
“Today our forum mods were in Montepulciano and look what they’ve found:
Alice’s Yellow Posche!
At the beginning our loved racing car was covered by a grey robe, but our
indefatigable facilitator/ moderator, suspicious of the dimensions and by
the chromed wheels, have began questioning people around.Mauro Pellegrini the owner of the tow truck, had orders by the production
not to uncover the car, but after explaining him who they were to his boss,
our heroines have even been invited to remain till the end of the
shooting!!The big man youcan 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/pixieMauro 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 .It also flown over where the porsche was, so probably we’ll see some
Twilighters on the big screen : our Marghe’s car has been filmed by Alice’s
car!!We are honoured!!”

Looks like Summit isn’t short on cash .
I gotta say, they sound like a bunch of seagulls all wanting a big fish. In this case, Robert Pattinson. I knew the paparazzi were bad, but this is crazy. The photos were taken in Cannes. Hope the poor guy can still see after being blinded by those vast camera flashes!
Twilight star Robert Pattinson has confirmed that there will be a fourth film in the vampire series.
Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival, the 23-year-old said the movie would be based on Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling novel, Breaking Dawn.
He added he was currently in the final days of shooting the second film, New Moon, in Italy and would start third movie, Twilight: Eclipse, in October.
The first instalment topped the UK and US box offices last year.
The series tells the story of a romance between Bella, a teenage mortal, and Edward, a decades-old vampire.
Pattinson said his role in New Moon had been beefed up compared to the book, in which Edward is simply “a voice in Bella’s head”.
“You’re playing a figment in Bella’s imagination so I was trying to do it in a 2D way. I hope it doesn’t translate onscreen as being boring,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
In between Twilight films, Pattinson said he plans to star in Remember Me, a film about a man who spends six weeks working out whether he loves someone or not.
Because of his other movie commitments, there was no definitive start date for the fourth movie, he added.
It seems the official New Moon Movie Poster was leaked from the Washington Times. The poster was due to be released tomorrow, but it seems the online newspaper made a mistake and published it a day early. The page has been taken down since but is due to come back tomorrow when it was supposed to be published.
What do you think of it? I think it looks good, simple, though it doesn’t say a lot about the movie. However, The Twilight series being one of the most common book series this year, everyone should know what it is about .
According to OntheFlix.com the official New Moon Movie Trailer is going to be released on the 14th of August, 2009.
According to my sources the first officia movie trailer for the highly anticipated “New Moon” film is set to be shown in theaters during the previews before the feature presentation of the new family,musical, movie, “Bandslam” which is due out on August 14,2009. This “Bandslam” movie just hit the marketing jackpot if a lot of “Twilight Saga” fans hear about this. Heck if nothing else, they’ll at least try and find out more of what “Bandslam” is about because of the attention from “New Moon” or maybe not. Who knows? I do know it can’t hurt the film.
I’ve already seen a lot of sites promoting “Bandslam” ,and it’s movie trailer just because of the “New Moon” trailer news so it’s already helping. “Bandslam’s” plot is about a 16 yr old boy who has to relocate to another school when his mom gets a new job in New Jersey. He eventually forms a band,and competes in a major band contest entitled none other than , “Bandslam”. It will star :Alyson Michalka, (Highschool Musical star)Vanessa Hudgens, Gaelen Connell, and Lisa Kudrow.
They have targeted “Bandslam” because it’s audience will most likely be the same demographics that “New Moon” will have for the most part. Also Summit Entertainment is the movie studio for the “Twilight Saga” films and “Bandslam” so there’s another correlation for you. Basically Summit Entertainment wants to help promote it’s less high profile movie with it’s more high profile movie with the correct demographics so they can in turn make more money on both fronts. I say Kudos. I just wish I was in on it. I will post a “Bandslam” movie trailer later on, today.
There is no credibility for his/her sources so it can’t be considered official. Perhaps Summit will give us some insight in the near future.
