New Moon Movie

When preparing for Blade Trinity (2004), Ryan Reynolds worked to get flat-out “ripped”. If you’ve seen him playing the title character in “Van Wilder”, or during his days as Berg on “Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place”, you’d scarcely believe it was the same person. Lots of fans are curious about what he did to go from skinny to hunky and muscular for the Blade Trinity role.

Though many Hollywood actors have to stay in great shape for a movie role, few have achieved the advanced level of conditioning that Reynolds did while preparing for his part. A few others are worthy of note, for example Daniel Criag for James Bond; Hugh Jackman for his role in Xmen, Brad Pitt in Fight Club and Taylor Lautner in New Moon.

Here’s Ryan Reynolds Workout for Blade Trinity in Greater Detail

First of all, Ryan wasn’t at all in bad shape when he underwent training for the film. He had 11% body fat which is lower than average for most. While in his Can Wilder role, you can see that he was naturally slim, but lacking in some muscle definition.

Ryan was able to build 20 pounds of muscle in five months.

Now, keep this in mind. when a person hits the weights hard for the first time and maintains a good diet, they will put muscle on very easily. For anyone looking to bulk up, there is a one-time window of opportunity for a person to gain muscle at a rapid pace early. Most men do this in their late teens or early 20′s. Ryan did his somewhat later than average at the age of 26.

Ryan did what is called a One-Part-Per-Day Blitz to gain his muscle.

On day one, he focused on training his chest. Day two was back, day three shoulders, and legs on day four. Sometimes he would supplement arm training depending on how blitzed they got during his workouts. His workouts lasted approximately three hours a day. He did about 8 to 12 reps in this range, Ryan trained six days per week for two to three hours.

Here is How Ryan Dieted to Get Prepared for Blade Trinity

He doubled his meal count: 6 meals a day, while limited calorie intake. He took in no carbohydrates after 8PM each night. His big focus was on keeping insulin levels stable to maximize the body’s ability to burn fat. To do this, he never ate carbohydrates by themselves. He always included a bit of protein with his carbs.

In my opinion, he worked too hard to get his results.

Ryan’s Workout was 2-3 hours per day, 6 days per week. He could have increased his fat burn rate with the effects of increased HGH levels with just a bit of strategic fasting — instead of living in the gym.

Before Describing Taylor Lautner’s Workout, Here is a Quick Bio

He was born in 1992, on February the 12th. He was 17 at the time Twilight New Moon was filmed. He studied martial arts from the age of 6 to the age of 13. By the time he was twelve, he had already won a black belt at the Junior World Karate Championships. He started acting in 2001 and in 2008, he played a Native American named Jacob Black in the movie Twilight.

Lautner was not the director’s initial choice for the role of New Moon’s Jacob Black.

The Director of New Moon, Catherine Hardwicke, considered casting someone else to replace Taylor Lautner. She thought that Jacob Black should be played by someone that had more muscle and was a little more believable. You see, Jacob turns into a werewolf in this movie and she wanted someone with a stronger physical presence than Taylor Lautner.

Taylor Had to Gain Muscle Quickly or Possibly Lose His Role in New Moon

Fortunately, Taylor’s background in martial arts was helpful when he needed to improve his physical conditioning. If we were talking about a normal 17 year old boy that didn’t haven’t Taylor’s martial arts background, there isn’t any way he could have put on the amount of muscle he did in that small amount of time.

This is the trick behind Jacob Black’s toned, tight abs.

Lautner trained for nine months before New Moon began to film, though his abs can be credited to much more than just this exercise. Because he maintained an athletic lifestyle when he was younger, his natural muscle maturity and density was already that of an average twenty year old. Individuals who train in martial arts get their power by tightening up their core. As time passes, this core becomes even tighter, more solid, and defines the existing muscles. To make your abs more apparent, one needs to lower the percentage of their body fat through dieting, though Lautner’s abs can be credited to his experience in the martial arts.

For Lautner, gaining muscle was relatively simple.

Taylor add 20 pounds of muscle very quickly because of how young he was. Fitness magazines keep it a secret, but you can get mass very quickly when you are first starting to workout. The amount of muscle Taylor put on his body was the natural amount of muscle he was suppose to have. He’s not a very large person at all, and this is positive. Just like most young men I work with, he added on the natural amount of muscle he was supposed to have very quickly and easily. Because he devoted so much time to his workouts, he was able to accomplish this in 9 months. Usually, this process will take a year or two.

When Interviewed About How He Got in Shape for New Moon

If you see any of Taylor Lautner’s interviews, you will notice he is pretty vague about his workouts. Instead, he says “I exercised a bunch and ate a bunch”. Honestly, this is all it takes for a young guy in his late teens to early 20′s to gain those 15-25 pounds. After this, the secret is how to drop the fat and just have lean muscle. Taylor Lautner has his high metabolism rate working for him as he’s still young. As he grows a bit older he will have to change his strategy.

What do you think, guys movie too?

After the first installment, Twilight, many of the books fans were a little dissapointed with the movie conversion. So it’s not suprising that despite the massive media hype about the new release,there were still many new movie book fans who were more than a little skeptical of the latest movie release.

Having said that, it seems that the new movie New Moon, has been much more well thought out, and fans of the book series are giving good reports on what some thought would be another dissapointment.

It’s still a little too early to tell, but it’s looking like New Moon will get an overall positive reception at the cinemas.

Kellan Lutz gave his time to blackbookmag for a recent interview about himself, New Moon, and Robert Pattinson. Seems like a nice guy.

Does going to auditions make you nervous?
No, I love them. I always fight for them and hate when some agents make us put ourselves on tape and send it to the casting director. I like winning the room, if that makes sense; hanging out with the casting directors and talking with them. An audition is 50% knowing your lines and the other 50% is being personable.

So what’s it like being a young actor in Los Angeles?
It’s been an eye-opener, for sure. I really don’t like LA. I don’t go to the beach, I don’t use the amenities that are in LA , I don’t really go out to the clubs.

Why don’t you like going to the beach?
I live in the Valley, so it’s kind of a trek to go there. And for me, whenever I go traveling I just throw everything in a suitcase. I don’t really plan outfits or anything like that so I’ll throw a bunch of stuff in, and when I go to the beach I’m like, “Okay, I need a bunch of balls, towels, sandals, I need to bring my lacrosse stick in case I want to play, and a volleyball.” You know, it takes an hour finding everything and then you have to drive there. It’s just exhausting. And no one really goes in the water in LA, unless you surf. There’s only a month to two months where you can actually go in the water without a wetsuit.

So do you avoid the flashiness of LA’s nightlife?
There’s some things you should go to. Last night I went to the InStyle party and it was very beneficial for myself to meet the editors and hang out with them. It’s all about making relationships—real relationships, you don’t need to be fake. You just talk and build that bond for future endeavors. It’s really weird seeing other actors who go to every single thing, every party out there. It doesn’t appeal to me.

Is it a game you feel you have to play?
No, not really. Again, being in L.A. is kind of like school. You go to math, then you go to geometry and then algebra. It’s changed so much from when I first moved out here. Now it’s a depressing city.

So I hear you’re pretty cool with the Twilight fans, who I hear can be a little much.
I am extremely blessed to be a part of this franchise. I didn’t know this series and I didn’t know it had such a following. I love going to conventions. That’s why I love Will Smith. He goes to every premiere in every country. I really admire that because his fans are the ones going to his movies, and it doesn’t take much to show your appreciation. The Twilight moms made dog tags and engraved really cool things on them.

What’s a Twilight mom? I’m assuming it’s parents that take their kids to these things?
Well actually most of the time it’s the opposite. It’s funny because the mom’s are like, “Oh, we need a picture for my daughter, can you get a picture for my daughter.” And I’m like, where is she? And she’s like, “Oh, uh, she’s grounded this week.” There’s groups of Twilight moms that go to every convention. That’s the amazing thing about Twilight. It’s for everyone.

But what happens when the fans get to a Robert Pattinson-level where it’s just insane?
Well, it’s crazy because with all this attention, all of us are handling it extremely well. We still have our head on our shoulders and our feet on the ground. Rob’s handling it so well. I can’t fathom being in his shoes. I believe I could handle it, but being cooped up in Vancouver and not being able to leave the hotel room or the apartment without having a driver and having to hide out—especially when he was shooting Remember Me, I talked to him a lot in New York and those fans were just crazy. I can’t imagine trying to act when you have all these people yelling your name and you’re doing an emotional scene.

You have some fight scenes in New Moon. Did you have to put on weight?
That’s the thing that’s really hard for me. I did a couple movies after New Moon and before Eclipse where I had to play a high school kid, like Warrior and Nightmare on Elm Street, and it’s one of those things where I love my size—I love being a big kid and having my muscles. So having someone tell you, “Hey, can you not work out until we shoot so you don’t tower over the other actors?” I’m really happy to take the time out and just work out. That’s what my character is, he’s a big guy and it makes me happy being able to eat and just put that weight back on.

So you’ve actually been forced not to work out?
Yeah, I mean they didn’t really say it that blatantly.

Do you like doing your own stunts?
I love doing my own stunts. I try and fight the producers to allow me to do stuff and of course there’s insurance reasons why we can’t, but again, I want that to be my face on screen. I don’t want them to have to blur it out if there’s a cool fighting scene. And a lot of times I can do the stunt better than the stuntman. I once had to fall ten feet from a tree and I go the wind knocked out of me. The stuntmen were like, Let all the air out before you hit the ground. It’s a learning process but I just love doing all my own stunts and I’m an action junkie. I love anything action and being on rigs and falling from buildings. I kind of want to be a stunt man too.

So I imagine you’d love to top line a big action film.
Yeah, I mean, my team and I really are focusing on that genre. I feel like there aren’t that many American action heroes. You got Daniel Craig who’s overseas and Matt Damon’s awesome. I love his career choices. He does comedies, to dramas to big action movies, like the Bourne franchise.

So what was it like filming the Nightmare on Elm Street remake?
Freddie scared me growing up. I watched a lot of horror movies with my dad and my brother. There’s something about Freddie Kruger attacking you in your sleep that terrified me. I mean, that’s probably why I only get four hours of sleep a night, I hardly dream. And having the chance to be a part of this movie, and it’s a psychological thriller versus some bloodbath, I’m blessed. I’m the guy that you want to root for in this because he’s a good guy having these problems because he can’t sleep, and he sees Freddie when he sleeps, so he just stays up.

Do you hang out with your cast mates from Twilight when you’re not filming?
Me and Ashley Greene are kind of not—the kids of the group, but we like playing games. I went to Toys R Us and bought Wii Fitness and tons of other games to play in the hotel, because we are always in the hotel and it’s tough to leave and not be followed by paparazzi or fans.

So people stalk you at the hotel?
Well the thing is, we can’t rent out the whole hotel, so fans will come up that know we are shooting there to have a chance to see all of us in one place. They’ll get rooms and every time one of us leaves, they’re there. It’s great to talk to them but you really can’t sneak away.

What is their reaction when they see you?
They’re very nervous and shy. They’re shaking, they shake and shoot the camera, and it’s all fuzzy so they have to do it again. Then there’s paparazzi who have flown from LA to Vancouver just to shoot a bunch of us. So it’s not just the Vancouver paparazzi, it’s LA as well. So it’s great just to feel like you’re at home and to play games. I bought the Twilight game which we never played until we were up there. It’s a fun game!

You started your career as a model, but when exactly were you bit by the acting bug?
I fell into the modeling world by luck, but I did it because I found photography to be a passion of mine, and being in front of the camera was really cool. So doing different stuff and learning who I want to shoot with as far as photographers was great I got a scholarship to go to Chapman University for chemical engineering in Orange County, and my father’s always lived in LA, so I just wanted to pack up and go there, but my mother didn’t want me, so I did it anyway. It was just something I had to do. When I was in LA, it was extremely lucrative with the modeling—the money, the opportunities—it’s LA so it was fast-paced and I was making more money and traveling all over the world. I just kind of fell into acting as a way to show off my personality.

What’s your favorite restaurant or place to eat in LA?
Katsuya is a great place, one of my favorite sushi places.

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.
