'New Moon' Soundtrack: Death Cab Reveals More Details About Their 'Equinox' Single And Music Video

Posted 8/31/09 4:56 pm EST by in Movie News, Music News, Twilight Forever!

Now that you know the coveted first single off the "New Moon" soundtrack (which by the way, is already available for pre-order for only $10 on Amazon.com) is going to Death Cab For Cutie and their song "Meet Me on the Equinox," we bet you're wanting to know more ... more... more about the faces behind the band and whether or not they're going to do your beloved Saga justice.

Well, in short, the answer's yes: bassist Nick Harmer's already been to the promiseland (a.k.a. Forks, Washington) and he thinks it's an awesome setting for Stephenie Meyer's series. "Oh yeah, I've been there a bunch," he told MTV News' James Montgomery in a recent interview. "And I went before it was the place from the 'Twilight' books. It's definitely one of those Northwest towns you hit once or twice. It's part of your trip through [Washington's] peninsula. There's not a lot of civilization out on the coast — I'm not being disrespectful, there are no giant cities out there — it's just towns, and you stop at all of them to see what they're all about."

'Eclipse' Director David Slade Catches Us Up With The Happenings On Set Via Twitter

Posted 8/31/09 3:55 pm EST by in Movie News, Movies, The Twitter Nation, Twilight Forever!

If you're not already following "Eclipse" director David Slade (@David_a_Slade) on Twitter, we bet you will be after you read this post! David joined the micro-blogging site back in July and has been offering behind-the-scenes scoop ever since. In fact, he even recently posted a few Twitpics from the set, including one incredibly cool shot (pictured, right) of Taylor Lautner mid-flip.

We already knew about Taylor's mad gymnastic skills thanks to his brand new Teen Vogue cover story, but it's pretty awesome to see it captured in this way amidst the mystical foliage of "Forks." This is the second Taylor shot David's posted, the first, which was posted yesterday, was a seriously dreamy shot of the shapeshifter during a camera lighting session, though David noted in his caption "Not a whisker in sight."

'Twilight' Vampires And Other Famous Bloodsuckers Get Spoofed In New 'Transylmania' Trailer

Posted 8/31/09 1:40 pm EST by in Movie News, Movies, Twilight Forever!, Videos

Vampires are no doubt having their moment in the sun. Metaphorically of course. You can't turn anywhere (including Hollywood Crush!) without catching a glimpse of one of the sexy bloodsuckers. "Twilight" fever couldn't run hotter. "True Blood" is garnering HBO's highest ratings in years, and Charlaine Harris' "Sookie Stackhouse" novels, of which the T.V. show is based, currently hold eight of the top 20 spots on the New York Times Best Seller list. With such stunning success, the genre seems ripe for a spoof movie in the vein of the "Scary Movie" franchise. And here it comes rising from the coffin in the form of "Transylmania" (watch the trailer above).

The flick centers around a rag tag group of college students who embark on a study abroad semester at Razvan University in Transylvania. The trailer opens with an obvious parody of Bella's "Twilight" voiceover: "At the start of the new moon, I was absolutely positive of three things. First, Radu was a vampire. Second, my one birthday wish was to feel his kiss. Third, nothing could prepare my friends and I for our semester abroad in Transylvania!" And then dives into a slew of fright-night cliches. There's a picture-perfect girl sporting a grotesque hunchback. A cross-bow carrying vampire hunter who's obviously shopped in Van Helsing's closet. And a vampire who's dialect coach was mostly likely The Count from "Sesame Street." Read More...

Taylor Lautner Shows Off His 'New Moon' Muscles In Teen Vogue: Cover Story

Posted 8/31/09 11:38 am EST by in Eye Candy, On The Newsstand, Twilight Forever!

Teen Vogue "Twilight" may have been Taylor Lautner's breakout movie, but "New Moon" will likely be the one that makes him a star. Anyone who's seen even a smidgen of promotion for the sequel knows this is the Taylor show—he even got his own "Meet Jacob Black" trailer. With his star on the rise, the 17-year-old sat down with Teen Vogue (see his full cover image after the jump!) to talk about how he got into acting, the kind of girl that digs Jacob (Selena Gomez, perhaps?) and the constant paparazzi attention.

Growing up in Michigan, Taylor never aspired to be an actor; in fact, his passion was Xtreme Martial Arts, a sport that involves acrobatic flips in addition to the usual punches and kicks. (If you want to see for yourself, just do a YouTube search and you'll find a tiny Taylor flaunting his moves). When he retired at all of 13-years-old he had four world champion titles to his name. It was his coach who suggested he give acting a try. "I liked it. Taking on roles that were the opposite of what I could be in real life? That's still my favorite thing," Taylor said. Read More...

SPECIAL: What If 'Twilight' Was Made In The 1980s? We Cast Johnny Depp, River Phoenix And More!

Posted 8/29/09 2:39 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Photos, Twilight Forever!

Sure, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart may fit the characters of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan like a glove, but what if Stephenie Meyer's vamp classic was written during the high-flying, colorful 1980s? Who would glitter in the sun during the era of John Hughes and the Brat Pack?

Well, that's what we wondered too, which is why we're happy to present "Twilight:" 80's Edition! We've broken out the Adobe Photoshop and decided to cast our favorite "Twilight" characters if the film was made over twenty years ago. Instead of RPattz and KStew, fans could've easily been cheering on the romance of RPhoenix and ASheedy. Click here or on the photo below to browse our re-imagined photo gallery, and read on below for our new cast of characters.

River Phoenix as Edward Cullen: Before Zac Efron, the Jonas Brothers and...yes, Robert Pattinson...there was River Phoenix. The 80s heartthrob starred in such classic films as "Explorers" and "Stand By Me" before getting nominated for an Oscar at age 18 for his role in "Running On Empty." His promising career was cut short in 1993 when the star was tragically found dead of a drug overdose in Los Angeles. During his heyday, however, he brought just the right amount of brooding sexiness that could fuel the role of Edward Cullen. (Who could share the screen as his Bella? Find out after the jump!)

Twilight Beauty Site Launches And We Give It Our Full Review (Including Best Product Names!)

Posted 8/28/09 6:15 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Twilight Forever!

We gave you a sneak peek of some of the products two weeks ago, but it's finally here: the Twilight Beauty website has launched. Now you, too, can wear cruelty-free makeup (no werewolf animal testing!) inspired by the vampire love story. We're not sure if this will bring you any closer to convincing Robert Pattinson that you're soul mates, but it's a start!

Beginning with the home page, which has images of the "Twilight" actresses with quotes from "New Moon" vaguely relating to beauty — Alice: "I've already seen you open it and guess what? You love it. You're gonna wear it to your party tonight," and Bella: "I wanted to look at you for as long as I could" — interspersed with product shots, it's clear the people behind Twilight Beauty really want us to know that they understand "Twilight."

Catherine Hardwicke Thrills The Crowd At New Jersey's 'Twilight' Convention With Behind-The-Scenes Stories

Posted 8/28/09 4:15 pm EST by in Twilight Forever!

By Nicole Guanlao

Edward Cullen would have felt at home as the cloudy weather set in and the rain fell on Parsippany, NJ, but this gloominess was nowhere in sight as droves of Twilighters descended upon the Hilton Hotel this afternoon for Creation Entertainment's Official "Twilight" Convention.

There were merchandise stands with T-shirts (I even snagged one for myself!), lunchboxes (pictured above) and even life-size cardboard cutouts of Edward and Bella for sale! We still have a few more hours until the end of the convention and we've already seen our hosts, The Hillywood Kids, present their famous "Twilight" spoof and the movie's director Catherine Hardwicke just walked off the stage after a Q&A session with some very excited Twi-Hards.

Click on the photo above to see more snapshots from this weekend's ongoing convention and keep reading for more on what Catherine revealed (hint: it involves a certain vamp's hair!)

Below, Aro (Michael Sheen), Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower) and Alec (Cameron Bright) look incredibly contemplative — or is it scheming? — as they flank the throne in their underground lair.

Click on the photo above to see more stills from the pivotal Italy scenes in the "Twilight" sequel and keep reading to find out more about these "stunning and scary" (thanks to reader "nybornsilence" for that description!) vamps after the jump. Read More...

'New Moon' Soundtrack News: Death Cab's 'Equinox' To Be First Single (It's 'About Relationships Beginning & Ending')

Posted 8/27/09 3:53 pm EST by in Movie News, Music News, Twilight Forever!

In addition to Bon Iver, Thom Yorke (the lead singer of Radiohead) and Muse, Death Cab for Cutie has joined the leagues of artists recording original songs for the upcoming "New Moon" soundtrack. Death Cab's submission, "Meet Me on the Equinox," will be the first single released from the album and will debut exclusively on MTV.com on September 13, the day of the VMAs.

"I think that a lot of our songs in general concern a lot of the things the main characters in the books are going through: There's a lot of stuff about relationships beginning and ending, and the questioning that happens around being in love and falling out of love," bassist Nick Harmer told MTV News in a recent interview.
