Kristen and Rob at the premiere in France. Not much better if you ask me:

Why is Rob wearing a jacket that has too short sleeves? It's like he's trying to be un-trendy on purpose. Maybe un-trendy and messy is the new trendy these days. I wouldn't know.

domesticelefant · 09 Dec 08 :: 18:55

The hair is almost bearable, I think. But Kristen's dress? Uhm. That's a No.

magicalturkey · 09 Dec 08 :: 18:56

Yeah, you can see in that first picture he has crap in his hair . I've come to the conclusion Kristen can't dress herself. Other than the hair, I think Rob looks really good... except for the combat boots.

LOL This one made me actually laugh:

Shave off edwards eyebrows--theyll never grow back!!

(although I don't really like it)

Yeah, I noticed the boots too. That looked kinda weird. Kristen and her little fancy shoes and him with those ... LOL
Yeah, well, I never said he looked ugly. I just don't like the messy hair.

Maybe she was stoned when she shooped for her premiere wardrobe.

Shooped?:D

Yeah, ugly dresses make her wanna shoop shoop shoop!

I just read that they might offer directing of New Moon to Chris Weitz. It's not confirmed yet.

Yes, he's had tremendous success working with tweens and teens (About A Boy as director and writer, American Pie as producer and uncredited director). But Chris Weitz also did The Golden Compass (as writer and director), and my source says Summit Entertainment liked the look of that even if it didn't heat up the domestic box office (but did better overseas). I don't have official confirmation yet that this Twilight sequel offer has gone out to Weitz. But my insider says another reason it came down is because Weitz and Summit's president of production Eric Feig are longtime pals. The source tells me Weitz is "still considering" the offer to helm New Moon and possibly also Eclipse if the sequel and threequel movie adaptations of Stephenie Meyer's series of vampire books are made back-to-back. But let's also not forget Weitz's behavior on Golden Compass. On December 15, 2004, Weitz announced his resignation as director of the trilogy, citing the enormous technical challenges of the epic and later admitting he was worried about dissing by the book's fans. After another helmer came on and then walked off, Weitz returned to direct saying he'd done "a lot of growing in the interim". Despite all that, Summit seems willing to put its first valuable franchise in his hands. Not so with Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke who's off the sequel for a whole host of reasons I reported that fall under the "difficult" category. Sexism, anyone?

domesticelefant · 10 Dec 08 :: 21:02

I just learned that Kristen was Jodi Foster's daughter in Panic Room. But that was, like, six years ago, so no way I would have recognized her. And I think I need to rewatch Into The Wild because I just can't remember seeing her.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 10 Dec 08 :: 21:11

Actually, Panic Room made me a fan. I've been paying attention to everything Kristen does since then. She was terrific in that movie. Stole her scenes right out from under Jodie. I just posted something about this on IMDb a few days ago...

Kristen played Jodie's daughter in PR.
Jodie starred opposite Cherie Currie of The Runaways in a movie called Foxes in 1980.
In 1981, the other main Runaway, Joan Jett released I Love Rock & Roll and it was a huge hit.
And now Kristen's gonna play Joan Jett in the movie, The Runaways.

Cool coincidence, or fate?

'Twilight' sequel: New details on 'New Moon'
Dec 10, 2008, 01:00 PM | by Nicole Sperling
Summit Entertainment has tentatively slated Nov. 20, 2009, as the release date for New Moon, the Twilight sequel, which means any director who signs on to replace Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has to be in Vancouver by Dec. 15 to begin 12 weeks of preproduction before a mid-March start date. Reports have speculated that Hardwicke was fired for being difficult on set, but sources close to her suggest Summit's aggressive production schedule turned her off. "She'd love to do the sequel if she could do it better than Twilight," says one. "It -became clear that Summit didn't have those same priorities."
Indeed, at press time the second movie appeared to have -little more than a rough first-draft working script. As Summit's production president Erik Feig told EW during Twilight's -record-busting first weekend, "There is that first...script. All the finesse that turns a screenplay into a movie hasn't -happened yet." Two weeks later, Summit is saying it's happy with screenwriter -Melissa Rosenberg's progress.
Another of Hardwicke's primary concerns was that hunky vampire Edward remains MIA throughout New Moon's middle portion. In her own opening-weekend interview, she told EW, "You have to get the chemistry as strong -between Jacob and Bella as it was between Bella and Edward. You also have to do -some-thing with that arc: She's in love with somebody, he disappears, she falls in love with someone else, and the first guy comes back. Movies like Pearl Harbor have tried it. It absolutely didn't work."
With or without Hardwicke, Summit -faces other snags. Two sources tell EW the studio doesn't want to rehire baby-faced Taylor Lautner (pictured) as Jacob, though Lautner's agent has apparently reached out to the -imaging company behind The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in an attempt to demonstrate to Summit how a digitally bulked-up Lautner could work. (Summit says it won't make a decision until a new filmmaker is on board.) There's also the matter of finding a cast of Native American actors to play Jacob's werewolf clan — a difficult challenge Hardwicke was also faced with before -settling on Lautner, who isn't completely -Native American. And with a slightly increased budget of $50 million — much of which is -assumed will go to leads asking for heftier paydays, location shoots in Italy, and ramped-up F/X — Summit will have to scrimp somewhere.
So what director would want to take on such a big headache? Well, at press time, an offer was out to Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass), who put Summit on the map years ago when its foreign sales operation made tons of cash off of his first film, American Pie. (One source says Weitz has already had conversations with below-the-line crew for New Moon.) "We are in a recession," -reminds one Hollywood insider. "It's a hit franchise. Whoever steps into it is guaranteed a $100 million gross. Everyone wants this movie." Adds an exec at another studio, "You'd have to have a very high standard for art, hate the movie business, and hate -money to walk off this sequel."

In the movie Into The Wild, Kristen plays a girl named Tracy. Emile's chracter Chris meets her on his trip. She's a singer and a guitar player in the movie.

CappuGirl · 11 Dec 08 :: 11:43

Stop bashing Rob! Thanks to pictures like that he's been playing the lead on my daydreams lately.. :drool: Nice to see a different kind of star actor for a change. Next to those too-groomed model-looking actors Spunk Ransom looks like a rock n' roll dude! :drool: And yeah, I realize all those xxx-xxx- comments sound a lot like Edward on the books but I don't like Edward, I like Rob.

... Or bash all you want.. more of Rob left for me....

Oh, and by the way.. I've seen the movie now.. I was naughty... :embarrassed: I didn't like it a lot on the first time I saw it but on the second time around I started to get passed those differences and saw it better... I'm starting to understand why some of the Twilight mom's watch it every week in theater.. I'm still gonna go to the theater and buy the dvd.. um.. can you tell I'm a regular at TM's thread "you know you're obsessed when..." :embarrassed::lol:

Me too. You can't tell me that it doesn't gross you out when somebody didn't wash his hair for four years. I still hope that's not really true.

DVD extras news:

Dec 11 2008 8:00 AM EST
'Twilight' Director Catherine Hardwicke Reveals DVD Details
Before her exit from the series, Hardwicke told MTV News about her giggly commentary, deleted scenes and more.
By Larry Carroll
SANTA MONICA, California — These days, "Twilight" fans are so freaked out that you'd think James the nomad was on to their scent.
Even though their beloved vampire film keeps taking in big bucks at the box office, director Catherine Hardwicke has been yanked off the sequels, and names of potential successors are jumping around faster than Edward Cullen on a deer hunt.
As the future of the franchise hangs in the balance, and the fanbase splinters into various camps, we've set aside some cool news that should hopefully return a smile to the faces of Stephenie Meyer fans. It's part three of what would become Hardwicke's last in-depth interview as the "Twilight" captain. Following on the heels of her discussing record-setting box-office numbers and "New Moon" hopes, we bring you brand-new details about Hardwicke's final "Twilight" effort: the much-anticipated DVD.
"We just did the commentary," Hardwicke grinned when she came to visit our studio right after "Twilight" opened, revealing that she had spent time in an audio booth with stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart that very morning. "We were like, 'Is this the lamest commentary ever?' We were just laughing! I was thinking, 'Should we do something really serious with myself and the stunt guy and special-effects people and show aspiring filmmakers how we did those special effects?' But nope. We did the giggle version. [Rob and Kristen were] remembering the funny stuff that happened and the crazy stuff. They make fun of how they look in the movie."
Asked when the disc will arrive in stores, Hardwicke said, "I think spring. Maybe right after Valentine's Day." She then added even more information to the details she gave us about the DVD last month. "We have 10 deleted or extended scenes. There's some juicy stuff in there," she said, adding that one would correct an omission spotted by many Meyer fans. "I think in one of them, [Edward and Bella] do say, 'I love you.'
"There's a few crazy montages we made of every time someone gets bitten by a vampire that we didn't show in the movie. There's a lot more vampire biting," she said of the more violent material held back to get "Twilight" its PG-13 rating. "One montage is called 'Human Hijinks,' and it's all the human friends [including Mike Welch and Anna Kendrick] doing crazy stuff, more [from the field-trip scene] with the worms and the greenhouse. Just them totally messing around, going crazy. That's kind of fun."
A second montage will focus on the movie's undead moments. "There is the very sexy vampire biting — that is not in the movie," Hardwicke said of the bonus feature. "There's [Rob biting Kristen in the dream sequence], and then there's the nomadic vampires attacking. We have that in there too."
As for other notable moments, Hardwicke said: "There's a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff. We had a great guy, Jeff, who was [filming us] every day. He did some very creative interviews, so you can see us making almost every scene in the movie, which is kind of fun. I actually learned a few things I didn't even know, listening to other people's interviews!
"You can also see the orchestra in London performing 'Bella's Lullaby,' " she said of another bonus feature. "There's a lot of neat stuff."
Then there's the moment that MTV's "Twilight" Tuesday fans will perhaps be most eager to see, as explained hilariously last month by Edi Gathegi. " That 'Does a Baby Eat Candy?' scene was in rehearsal, so I'm trying to get them to put that rehearsal scene in; that was hysterical," Hardwicke laughed. "We literally fell on the ground, because [Edi's attempts at improv] can get pretty perverse. You have to see it!"
As for the other deleted scenes, "There are some scenes that are longer, and some scenes that we don't have in the movie," Hardwicke explained. "There's one scene that's not in the film where Rob and Kristen are walking alone, and he trips her and they fall back into these leaves, and then he takes a bite of her finger. ... It's Kristen's favorite scene."

Some more confirmation of Chris Weitz.

'Twilight' sequel: 'New Moon' director will be Chris Weitz
Dec 11, 2008, 06:52 PM | by Nicole Sperling
There will be a new director atop the Twilight franchise: and he'll be a man. Sources tell EW.com that Summit Entertainment is about to hire Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) as the shepherd for New Moon, the second installment of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling Twilight series. Weitz is best-known for his work with his brother Paul. The two directed and produced American Pie and then were nominated for an Academy Award for best screenplay for About a Boy, which they also co-directed. Chris' first solo directing gig, The Golden Compass, didn't do well stateside but was a hit internationally.
Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, has grossed more than $141 million so far, but Hardwicke had clashed with the studio during production. It was announced early this week that she would not be making New Moon. Weitz has a solid relationship with Summit's top brass; he's considered easy to work with and has experience with special effects. "He's the quality-of-life-choice," says one source. While Summit insists "we have not yet signed Chris Weitz to do New Moon," and Weitz's agency says no deal has been signed, other sources say the deal is imminent, and that Summit has stopped negotiations with other potential Moon directors. Summit had planned to announce this hiring decision on Sunday, Dec. 14, and could have Weitz in Vancouver, B.C. as early as Monday to start pre-production on the film.

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! :dancing::dancing::dancing:

larry-411 · 13 Dec 08 :: 22:59

Summit has made it official by issuing this letter from Chris Weitz. It is included in this post with a message from Stephenie:
http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/index.html

Message from Stephenie:

Hey guys,
There's been a lot of worry and speculation on the boards lately, and I want to let you know what's going on.
First of all, like you, I'm sad that Catherine is not continuing on with us for New Moon. I'm going to miss her, not just as a brilliant director, but also as a friend. She has such a distinct, authentic voice that did amazing things for Twilight. I'm looking forward to every movie she does in the future.
And she didn't leave us empty handed. We still get the benefits of her amazing casting and the beautiful visual world she created. This foundation puts us in a good place for New Moon.
Summit Films is moving forward with a new director for New Moon. They've asked Chris Weitz, director of American Pie, About a Boy, and The Golden Compass, to join us, and I am very pleased to announce that he's agreed to be a part of our Twilight world. I've had the chance to talk to Chris, and I can tell you that he is excited by the story and eager to keep the movie as close to the book as possible. He is also very aware of you, the fans, and wants to keep you all extremely happy. (Torches and pitchforks are not going to be necessary.)
I'm excited to work with Chris and I think he brings a lot to the table, not the least of which for me is that he wrote the screenplay for and directed one of my favorite movies of all time, About a Boy. I'm really looking forward to seeing his vision for New Moon.
Below is a letter from Chris to you. I think you'll get a glimpse in this note of how cool it's going to be having Chris as part of our community.

Weitz, an Academy Award(R)-nominated writer, director and producer, has a proven track record working with a broad range of material dealing with youth- oriented characters, fantasy and action. As such, he has the potential to bring alive in NEW MOON the dimensions and depth that fans will demand in the next installment.

"I am honored to have been entrusted with shepherding NEW MOON from the page to the screen," said Weitz. "The extraordinary world that Stephenie has created has millions of fans, and it will be my duty to protect on their behalf the characters, themes and story they love. This is not a task to be taken lightly, and I will put every effort into realizing a beautiful film to stand alongside a beautiful book."
Weitz previously penned ABOUT A BOY, which led to an Academy Award Nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2002, and adapted and directed THE GOLDEN COMPASS (2007), which was nominated for two Academy Awards and won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. Additionally, Weitz co-wrote the 1998 animated film ANTZ and went on to produce the major box office success AMERICAN PIE and executive produced the film's two theatrical sequels. Weitz also produced IN GOOD COMPANY starring Dennis Quaid and Topher Grace and executive produced AMERICAN DREAMZ starring Hugh Grant, Dennis Quaid and Mandy Moore.
In NEW MOON, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is devastated by the abrupt departure of her vampire love, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) but her spirit is rekindled by her growing friendship with the irresistible Jacob Black. Suddenly she finds herself drawn into the world of the werewolves, ancestral enemies of the vampires, and finds her loyalties tested. Production on NEW MOON is scheduled to begin in the coming months and the studio is planning to release the film towards the end of 2009 or early 2010.
Feig will oversee NEW MOON for the studio along with Summit Entertainment's Director of Production Gillian Bohrer.
