The first teaser trailer for the upcoming, and final, installment of the massively successful Twilight series is online today. It can be viewed here.

The film, starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, is set to hit theaters on November 16.

Apparently, nothing she needs to worry about.

The couple is separated as Kristen Stewart films for ”Snow White and the Huntsman“ in London, but, despite rumors, her vampire beau appears to be remaining faithful.

On Friday, pictures surfaced of Robert Pattinson leaving a bistro, La Poubelle, in Los Angeles with Sarah Roemer, which led, inevitably, to a flurry of concerned fans. The truth is, sometimes people in relationships are around the opposite sex, and it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re cheating. And, reportedly, the two were hanging out within a group. A source present at the club said “It was all very innocent. There were no signs that he was cheating on Kristen with Sarah or that anything romantic was going on”.

So, fans of the couple need not concern themselves with the fate of their relationship — yet.

“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1,” which premiered on Friday earned $283.5 million internationally and $139.5 million domestically for its first weekend. This amount falls behind only the second installment of the “Twilight” series franchise, “New Moon,” which premiered in 2009 with an opening of $142.8 million at home.

The first of the two parts of “Breaking Dawn” follows Bella Swan and her vampire beau, Edward Cullen, as they get married and are almost immediately faced with the impending doom of Edward’s spawn growing at a rapid rate within Bella.

This weekend’s revenues are as follows:

1. “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1,” $139.5 million
2. “Happy Feet 2,” $22 million
3. “Immortals,” $12.3 million
4. “Jack and Jill,” $12 million
5. “Puss in Boots,” $10.7 million
6. “Tower Heist,” $7 million
7. “J. Edgar,” $5.9 million
8. “A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas,” $2.9 million
9. “In Time,” $1.7 million
10. “The Descendants,” $1.2 million

Long story short: if you liked all the other “Twilight” movies then you will probably like this one. If you never liked it before, this movie isn’t going to change your views. Twihards beware: I am one of the latter. I have seen them all, and the only good movie in the entire series was probably the second one. Oh…and I’ll come clean and announce that if I’m going to be on any team then I’m on team Jacob. All the scenes without Edward were the very best.

Plot time: if you read the books there are no surprises. Stefanie Meyers must have kept director Bill Condon on a short leash. There was no deviation from the written word. I almost feel like I could read the book side-by-side with the movie dialogue. Bella Swann (Kristen Stewart) is planning for her wedding with vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). Sparks are heated between the vampires and the werewolves over whether turning Bella into a vampire breaks the ancient treaty of doing no harm to humans. But it’s not happening yet. Edward and Bella decide to have a honeymoon before the big change.

The vampire allegory for a pure virginal marriage comes through when the happy couple completely ignore birth control and end up with an “uh oh.” Bella becomes pregnant with vampire spawn and we are faced with another allegory for the debate for life vs. choice. Edward wants the baby gone before it can kill Bella, but Bella wants the baby to live even if she dies bringing it into the world. This sparks a civil war in the werewolf tribe. The current leader sees the baby as a threat to their pack. Now Jacob has to make the choice to stay with his kind or renege to save Bella.

The story is enough to make you cringe and/or laugh, but it’s the film style that really takes “Breaking Dawn” over the top. There were very few special effects. When there were, they were laughably out of place. A fuzzy dream sequence here, angry red vision there. If they appeared more often then they wouldn’t seem like such afterthoughts being thrown between the frames. The choice of music had the same affect. Whose idea was it to play hippie stoner music for the love montage scenes?

I think Condon tried his best, but teenage monster love is a little outside his purview. This is the guy who did “Dream Girls” and wrote in “Chicago.” I would be interested in seeing if turning “Twilight” into a sing-along would make it any better. Condon has also done a lot of movies I’ve never even heard of, which is why probably wanted to tack his name onto a huge movie franchise even if it’s bad. The most stylistically beautiful scene in the whole movie was a red and white wedding nightmare Bella had. It was visually stunning and it stands out. I could see musical theatre written all over it. I wouldn’t have been surprised if they burst into song about the dangers and delights of being married to a vampire. Doesn’t that sound funny?

This was the Condon’s chance to take this movie to the next level and he scaled it back. Remember how much fun it was counting how many times Jacob took off his shirt in the last movie? Well he only took his shirt off once! The rest of the werewolves were fully clothed the entire time too. If I’m going to sit through 120 minutes of a “Twilight” movie, I at least expect some eye candy. But no…this was a purity driven film where the only action we got was the haphazard sex scenes that Pattinson clearly didn’t get into. I’m telling you the chemistry is gone.

I know the Twihards out there are going to hate me for hating on this, but I tell you now that this is the worst movie of the four so far. Go see it for yourself, but remember you won’t ever get those two hours back.

Some spoilers included!

At long last, the finale of the “Twilight” franchise has finally arrived onto the big screen. This time, Bill Condon (Dreamgirls in 2006) takes the hot seat of as director.

From a fangirl standpoint, this is the moment that Twilight fans have been waiting for: Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) get married, after a series of setbacks and courtships. The set design of the wedding made it a particularly romantic vibe with white flowers draping from trees and just around the garden, as well as some familiar faces; the friends and family of the bride and groom. Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) whom we see after the wedding is a happy friend for both Bella and Edward, until Bella tells him that she will remain a human when she goes on a honeymoon with Edward. Dismayed, Jacob tries to stop Bella from going with Edward as he presumes that her now husband could potentially kill her. Edward and Bella head to Rio De Janeiro, anyway, for their honeymoon.

In the two-hour duration of the film, not a lot happens. What is covered in this film is actually quite limited compared to the previous films where the movie features plenty of scenes that took place in a variety of locations. In Breaking Dawn Part 1, after Rio De Janeiro, most scenes just took place in the Cullens’ house and the forest where the werewolves can be found.

The film is all about Edward and Bella worrying about their future together as husband and wife, as the werewolves go against Bella and Jacob tries to protect his friend.

Bella eventually gets pregnant with a half vampire, half human baby. Tension arises between Edward and Jacob — again.

The bigger Bella’s womb grows, the sicker she becomes. The acting between Stewart and the rest of the Cullens can be somewhat comedic at times, and I thought that Condon executed that well. For example, the speeches at the weddings given by the bride and groom’s family friends, as well as Bella coming up with names for their future child were pretty funny scenes.

Unlike in the previous Twilight films where the werewolves’ scenes and actions were fast and furious and strongly captured in the screen, Breaking Dawn Part 1 does not really give that same effect. The werewolves were not the main focus of the film and didn’t have a ton of screen time.

The last scene in the movie shows Bella’s eyes turning red, and it brings a lot of mixed messages for the audience. The director certainly did an awesome job on this, as he keeps the viewers guessing how this will turn out in the next film.

When all is said and done, fans that have supported “The Twilight Saga” from the books to the movies will be in for a treat. As Taylor Lautner has said in a promotional interview, “if you read Breaking Dawn, you’ll most likely see it come to life on this film!”

Part one of Breaking Dawn is opening in theaters this Friday, and it highlights the series of events that lead to Bella’s inevitable transformation into a vampire. But, according to Kristen Stewart, the change is not all that glamorous.

Stewart, who has played the protagonist, Bella, in all of the film adaptations, complained about the amber-colored contacts the actors playing vampires are required to wear. She said “That is one thing I can’t wait to say goodbye to. They just kill you.”

The actress expressed her satisfaction with her character finally becoming a vampire, saying “The whole vampire thing – I wasn’t excited to be white and all that. I was really more excited to finally get her there because she wants it so bad.”

Hollywood will forever have Kristen Stewart’s black-and-white-checked pair of Vans’ footprints, right along with Robert Pattinson’s and Taylor Lautner’s marks.

The three stars of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn,” coming out in theaters nationwide on November 18, appeared in front of fans with Jimmy Kimmel, the emcee of the event, and “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer on November Thursday outside the famous Grauman’s Chinese Theater.

After waving to the fans craning their necks to catch a glimpse of Lautner’s muscles and Stewart and Pattinson’s relationship, the stars pressed their handprints into blocks of cement. As the ceremony came to an end, the Los Angeles Times quoted Stewart saying, “I’ve never been so enamored by this business, Hollywood. … I think this is the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my life.”

The leading actors and author of the franchise took this opportunity to thank their fans for their growing support throughout the phenomenon. After today, fans can walk through the streets of Hollywood to find the hardened handprints and footprints of their idols.

As the long-lasting nationwide craze continues, the stars of the Twilight Saga are under constant scrutiny. As a result, anything Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner say about each other while out of character is recorded for fans’ viewing enjoyment. Thanks to MTV, some favorite quotes have been compiled in an easy to access format for readers.

Highlights include:

“She’s more stubborn than me in a lot of ways. She really stands up for what she thinks is right. It’s generally on the same page with what I think is right, but I never have the balls to do it.” — Rob on Kristen during “New Moon”

“She looked amazing. I really didn’t do anything much but just stand there.” — Rob on Kristen in her “Breaking Dawn” wedding dress

“I didn’t see Taylor until just a little bit before we started shooting ['New Moon']. When he came back, I had the same reaction as everybody else. I was like, ‘Jeez, now I have to go to the gym!’ ” — Rob on Taylor’s “New Moon” abs

“I don’t feel like kissing you!” — Rob to Kristen at the MTV Movie Awards

“It was really fun to see Kristen try and act all tough, and she’s a vampire and she’s chucking me across the yard into trees. It was funny.” — Taylor on Kristen throwing him around in “Breaking Dawn”

“He’s really buff! He definitely is. It took him a lot of time.” — Kristen on Taylor

“It’s just totally false … Rob and I are good friends.” — Kristen on rumored relationship with Rob

What Kristen shared with Glamour:

Kristen Stewart and Stephenie Meyer on watching Breaking Dawn with costar Taylor Lautner:

Stewart: “It’s fun to watch with him because we actually sit and watch it. Me and Taylor are actual Twilight fans, so we can sit there and be totally into it! Whereas I sit there with Rob…he likes it, but he has just such a different energy.”

Meyer: “Oh, Rob and Taylor have completely different energy! Watching it with Taylor, you feel afraid that you’ll get ice down the back of your neck or a grape in your face.”
Stewart: “Totally.”

Kristen’s relationship advice:

“Hmm…good relationship advice for me tends to be being honest and knowing yourself. Don’t be an asshole. That’s my advice. Don’t be mean. Don’t take sh*t. Don’t settle.”

What Kristen is Wearing:

Photographed by Matthias Vriens-McGrath in Culver City, California, Kristen appears on Glamour’s November cover wearing a striped Bottega Veneta top, Current/Elliott jeans and white gold and diamond necklaces by Martin Katz and Jordan Alexander at Fragments. And from her inside spread, Kristen wears a Sosume white T-shirt, Peter Som lace shorts and Alexander Wang shoes and she wears a lace dress by Stella McCartney, a De Beers white gold and diamond bracelet and Ash boots.

The posters for “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” have been revealed.

In the first of two parts to finish the series: “Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson), plus those they love, must deal with the chain of consequences brought on by a marriage, honeymoon, and the tumultuous birth of a child, which brings an unforeseen and shocking development for Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).”

The first poster features Bella and Edward locked in an embrace, while the second poster features a solitary Jacob.

Part One comes out in November.

According to Entertainment Weekly, “The Social Network” actor Armie Hammer, 24, is going to be Prince Andrew Alcott in the up-coming film “Snow White.” The movie will be out in June 2012 and its shooting will start in May. Julia Roberts will star in the film as the Evil Queen.

Another movie “Snow White and the Huntsman” will be out in December 2012. In this film, Kristen Stewart is starring as Snow White and Charlize Theron as the queen. Viggo Mortensen was expected to star as the huntsman, but it’s not likely to happen anymore since he is reported to star in “Superman: Man of Steel,” according to Variety as Superman villain General Zod instead of having a role in “Snow White and the Huntsman.”

Reuters reported Friday that Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and other actors have been forced to evacuate when filming the upcoming “Twilight” series “Breaking Dawn” in the Vancouver Island beach area in British Columbia.

The filming has been postponed.

Tinsel Korey, who stars in the film as Makah Emily Young, emotionally tweeted Friday, “They’re evacuating us 4 a tsumnani (sic) warning. If this … is my last my tweet. I love you. The end. Hugz. If this is the moment. Then I’ve lived a good life. And I’m thankful 4 everything I’ve been given.”

Kristen Stewart is officially going to play Snow White in the film “Snow White and the Huntsman.”

Producer Palak Patel confirmed to Twitter, saying, “KStew is officially playing Snow White and her deal is in final negotiations and will close next week. Official confirmation coming next week. But we are in final negotiations.”

He added, “We start shooting Snow White & the Huntsman on August 1st in London, Scotland, & Germany!!” And, he deleted the tweets later.

Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron are still in negotiation to star in the film as the titular huntsman and the infamous evil queen stepmother.

“Snow White and the Huntsman” is scheduled to be released on December 12, 2012.

Kristen Stewart, who is currently filming “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1,” entered negotiations to star as Snow White in a film “Snow White and the Huntsman.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, actor and Stewart’s possible co-star Viggo Mortensen has already been cast as The Huntsman in the movie. Rupert Sanders will direct the film.

Kristen Stewart can be seen in Walter Salles’ drama “On The Road” with Garrett Hedlund, Kirsten Dunst, Sam Riley, and Viggo Mortensen, this fall.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart is being considered to play Snow White in the upcoming big screen film, “Snow White and the Hunstman.”

This film based on the classic fairy tale will mainly focus on the Huntsman, who takes Snow White to the forest to kill her but instead becomes her protector and mentor from the Evil Queen.

Viggo Mortensen is currently in negotiations to play the Hunstman, and Charlize Theron has been rumored to play the Evil Queen. Rupert Sanders is confirmed to direct the film.

What do you think?

According to an interview in Vogue, Kristen Stewart said she wants to establish a network of halfway houses to support runaways who wind up in the sex trade, since her role as a runaway prostitute in “Welcome to the Rileys” personally affected her perception.

She said, “It’s starting to enter my head a lot more than it used to because it’s at the end, and it’s come such a long way. I just want the fans of the book to be happy. I don’t necessarily care about anyone else.”

The picture of the highly anticipated “Twilight: Breaking Dawn” honeymoon sex scene has been released. The picture shows Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) together on their wedding night.

Recently, Pattinson told MTV, “It’s always awkward, in a way, doing it with anybody, but at the same time … it really depends on how it’s staged and stuff. It’s like doing Twister.”

“Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1″ comes out November 18.

“Twilight” star Kristen Stewart, 20, is on the February’s Vogue cover. And her hair is blonde. In the magazine, she talks about her upcoming Twilight movie and her celebrity status.

She told the magazine, “There’s no way to eloquently put this. I just can’t go to the mall. It bothers me that I can’t be outside very often. And also to not ever be ‘some girl’ again. Just being some chick at some place, that’s gone.”

And she talked about her role as Bella by saying, “(She’s) a character who is embedded in so many people’s psyches at this point. It’s starting to enter my head a lot more than it used to because it’s at the end and it’s come such a long way. I just want the fans of the book to be happy. I don’t necessarily care about anyone else.”

As we previously reported, the honeymoon scene of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson shooting “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” in Brazil were leaked last week and got removed but EW.com got the pictures of them.

It is kind of hard to tell if the pictures from the honeymoon scene but we hope you will enjoy them!

“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” DVD is apparently consumer-friendly. It has the commentary feature, which focuses on Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and series author Stephenie Meyer. And its photo gallery will entertain the Twilight fans a lot with a lot of fight scenes between Edward and Jacob, a behind-the-scenes documentary, music videos of the songs from the movie, and the film’s extended and deleted scenes.

The fans can fully gear up for “Breaking Dawn” by enjoying the DVD!

Video of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart shooting the “Breaking Dawn” honeymoon scene was leaked the Internet on Thursday and quickly removed.

The scene was shot in Brazil and showed that Bella and Edward kneeling on a beach and talking before making out.

But don’t you fear — or go ahead and be disappointed — because Summit Entertainment said everything will be kept PG-13.

Cigarettes, the hapless stripper and James Gandolfini.  You’d think I was talking about an old episode of “Soprano’s.”  A far cry from Tony Soprano, Gandolfini tones down his gruff exterior to portray Doug Riley, a damaged man living with the aftermath of his daughter’s death.  A tragedy made worse by his agoraphobic wife, Lois (Melissa Leo), it takes a severe toll on their 30-year marriage.  Doug’s work takes him to New Orleans where he meets Mallory (played by Kristen Stewart), a 17-year-old runaway stripper/prostitute.  The two form a platonic bond as Doug tries to help Mallory get her life together in this character-driven film.

Stewart, widely known for her awkward, dark and edgy acting, isn’t exactly groundbreaking nor is she inappropriate for the role of Mallory.  She is passable as the lowly, unfortunate teen, but it’s her wardrobe (or lack there of) that characterizes a more obvious portrayal.  Being the catalyst that brings Doug and Lois back together, you want Mallory to be more than the skimpy outfits and dingy actualization but Stewart’s inability to add depth makes it difficult.  It seems that Stewart hasn’t stretched her acting ability beyond the realm of “Twilight,” “Into the Wild” and “The Cake Eaters.” 

While Stewart gives a fair performance, it’s Gandolfini and Leo whom you need to watch out for.

Even when they aren’t together in the same scenes, Gandolfini and Leo balance each other out perfectly with his delicate demeanor and her frightful awkwardness.  Gandolfini brings a forceful yet gentle approach to Doug. You trust Gandolfini to take you through the disparate elements and the characters of this story because Doug, as distraught as he may be, he is also the voice of reason that will help the couple move on from their daughter’s tragedy.  His ability to seamlessly express two extreme emotions makes Gandolfini a master of his craft.

Cohering to the theme of duality, Marc Steitenfeld’s banal yet haunting score early in the film paints a bleak, colorless existence that is Doug and Lois.  But the music kicks up several notches when Lois is propelled into action not because the emotional distance from Doug but the physical distance from him. Halfway through the film a comical energy comes into play as Lois reacquaints herself with the world again – struggling with the automated car seat settings, hyperventilating into a paper bag while driving on the highway, and bashfully flirting with a stranger at a roadside diner.  It’s like watching a baby learning how to walk again after falling over numerous times.  Then Leo varies it up by bringing a new level of gravitas to her scenes with Stewart, making it some of the film’s most captivating scenes.  Leo is utterly engaging as the helpless wife who can turn around to care for another helpless soul with such graceful progression.

In trying to make us relate to the harsh reality of couple dealing with an unimaginable situation, Director Jake Scott (son of Ridley Scott) does a good job in his second feature-length film.  The slow pacing is needed for a story like this but certain scenes go on longer than is necessary in the nearly two-hour film.  While it’s a palpable character study and features winning performances by Leo and Gandolfini, save “Welcome to the Rileys” for a rainy weekend at home.

According to MTV News, Kristen Stewart didn’t really comment about the casting of half-vampire, half-human daughter in “Breaking Dawn.” Renesmee will be played by newcomer Mackenzie Foy.

She told MTV: “[He] was like, ‘Wait until you see this kid. If you and Rob had a kid, this would be it. I was like, ‘That’s so weird.’ She just looks like, she sort of looks like Bella, which is absolutely right. Although the funny thing is she has green eyes, and we both have to wear brown contacts together.”

Shooting is set to begin in a few weeks, but Stewart has not met “her daughter” yet. “No, I haven’t met her yet. That sounds so weird! ‘I haven’t met my daughter yet.’ Wow,” she said.

NEW YORK — “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart plays a stripper and prostitute in the film “Welcome to the Rileys,” which also stars James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo, who turned out along with director Jake Scott at the Tribeca Grand Hotel for the premiere.

According to Entertainment Tonight, she commented about playing the character of Mallory, a 17-year-old runaway who impacts the lives of a couple grieving the loss of their teenage daughter, “I did two weeks of it. I did learn how to do it and I got bruises all over my legs. It’s hard, but it actually doesn’t look painful, but it is. It kinda beats you up. This is something that any girl can relate to: if you love yourself and you respect yourself, that’s the only way anybody else is going to.”

The film, which had its world premiere at the Sundance International Film Festival in January, opens in limited release in U.S. theaters on October 29.

I am not a Twi-hard. I am not a Twilighter, a Twi-fan or even a Twi-mom, given I have no children. I am not a variation on any of those titles. But I am also not a hater. But in a world of film critics who love to hate Twilight, I stand apart. I am a huge fan of the books and by connection a tentative fan of the films. As this is an anomaly in film critic-dom, I feel it’s necessary to share my findings and my regrettably unique perspective — that being that I was probably one of few critics not going into “Twilight: Eclipse” completely ready to hate it and one of the few fans not going in to deify it.

The notes I took during the film read much like the truncated exclamations that punctuate the Twilight books — “Campy,” “Thrilling,” “Sexy,” “Scary.” But the one word that preceded more nouns than any other was simply “Better.” No one can say that the Twilight films, separately or together, make a completely respectable piece of art. But they’re getting better.

David Slade takes the helm on the latest film in the franchise and with his background in the horror genre (“Hard Candy”) brings back the campy feel that made the original “Twilight” lovable in its own way. This isn’t the gold-flecked, Italian painting style that we saw in New Moon. We aren’t watching a series of sappy, dialogue-less montages set to a soundtrack of Muse tunes. “Eclipse” brings back the dark, (and yet, somehow lighter with more quippy one-liners and less vampiric, love-lorn brooding) sopping wet Forks, Washington readers fell in love with in 2007.

The greatest improvement in Eclipse is the writing. Slade thankfully got rid of all the pain-drenched kissing and whiny declarations of love. He replaced it with (at times) witty dialogue, and what’s more, he used LINES FROM THE BOOK. What a revolutionary idea. As “Eclipse” was my favorite book, it pleased me to no end that the tent and bedroom scenes were left verbally in tact. After all, this why we go to see movies made from our favorite books in the first place — to see the complete incarnation of the scenes we’ve imagined a thousand times, without any interference from less-than-stellar screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg.

But Slade doesn’t just succeed by sticking to the books — he weaves in themes that are absent from the books but completely fitting. This is a relieving change of pace, especially when you’re watching a film where you’re certain there won’t be any real surprises. Slade knows his strengths, too. He gives Oscar-nominee Anna Kendrick the spotlight to deliver a, in the hands of a less-talented actress then Kendrick, generic graduation speech that draws uncomfortable parallels between Bella, who is about to become a vampire, and other normal teenagers (“This is our time to make mistakes, because nothing is permanent.” Well, except that whole undead thing).

The film has an air of self-deprication that saves it in many scenes. Slade gave the characters the freedom to make fun of themselves, which alleviated so much unnecessary tension. He did this primarily through one-liners that smacked the characters back in place just as they were about to head down a path of overly-moody dialogue.

“Oh, believe me, I want to,” Edward (Robert Pattinson) says, cracking a smile after denying Bella (Kristen Stewart) sex before marriage. The moment needed a lift, especially when trying to convince audiences that two people in love shouldn’t make love is a hard sell.

“I kissed Bella,” Jacob (Taylor Lautner) growls at Charlie (Billy Burke). But then he falters. “….and she broke her hand. Punching my face. It was a little misunderstanding.”

“I’m a VIRGIN!” Bella exclaims to Charlie during one of the best scenes of the film where Charlie and Bella have “The Talk.”

But it’s not all one-liners. Slade doesn’t sacrifice emotional intensity. At the climax of the film when the furious, red-eyed vampire Riley Biers (Xavier Samuels) growls “You’re dead” at Edward, you believe him.

Slade also centers much of the film around newborn vampire Riley, who was virtually nonexistent in the book. Riley, a Forks native, plays the right hand man of “Eclipse”s villain, Victoria. Shortly after she turned him, she sent him off to rally a vampire army that would take on the Cullen clan. “I will end the Cullen clan,” he says, flashing his sharp new vampire teeth. Slade draws a comparison between the story of Riley and that of Jasper Hale, who had a similar beginning to his vampire life. Unlike Riley, Jasper and his hokey southern accent made it out of his first bad vampire relationship alive. There is, however, an unnecessary and unsettling scene in Jasper’s flashback where he kills a newborn vampire who couldn’t have been more than fourteen years old.

Some other tid-bits that Twilight fans (who aren’t going to read this before they see the movie anyway, because they’ve all been lined up outside the theaters since yesterday morning) will be glad to know — the sparkle effect is tasteful and rarely used, and the accompanying wind chime sound effect is noticeably, and thankfully, absent. Jacob has his shirt off for most of the film. This will be a relief to fans and critics alike, since fans will appreciate his abs and critics will appreciate not having to see him take off his shirt at every potentially quivery moment. And there is a lot of making out. That’s all I have to say about that (to borrow a line from a much better movie).

If you’re not waiting in line at this very moment to see “Eclipse,” give it a shot. It’s better than the first two and is at least worth it for the action scenes.

To satisfy Twihards’ voracious appetites, new “Eclipse” posters were released earlier this week.

Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and his family are dazzling. The intense and brooding Edward is front and center, flanked by an oddly dark looking Emmet (Kellan Lutz), a guarded Alice (Ashley Greene), an always pensive Jasper (Jackson Rathbone), a serious Rosalie (Nikki Reed), and concerned parents Esme (Elizabeth Reaser) and Carlisle (Peter Facinelli).

Edward, Bella (Kristen Stewart), and Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) each have their own poster. Edward is sporting his infamous heartbroken intensity. Bella is her conflicted, introverted self, and Jacob is confident and focused. The trio is also on a new poster together.

The villains of the story aren’t left out of the new line of “Eclipse” posters. Riley (Xavier Samuel) rises from the water, bringing a dark aurora tainted with certain death. Behind him is Victoria’s (Bryce Dallas Howard) army of newborn vampires, which she created to destroy Edward and Bella.

Volturi vampires Jane (Dakota Fanning), Felix (Daniel Cudmore), Demetri (Charlie Bewley) and Alec (Cameron Bright) also have a poster of their own.

The original “Eclipse” poster also featured main characters Bella, Edward and Jacob.

Rumors about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are nothing new.

But two two young stars really haven’t addressed the rumors in public before. That was, until, they dropped by “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on Thursday.

“Kristen’s pregnant,” Pattinson joked. And Stewart responded: “He really loves to shock people because he thinks it’s funny. No, we’ve actually had this conversation. He’s having the baby.”

Well, at least they’re talking about it. They did not, however, confirm or deny, once and for all, whether or not they’re romantic.

“I’m obsessed with my cat,” Stewart said. “[We] have a very Edward-and-Bella relationship. It’s, like, very co-dependent with my cat.”

Taylor Lautner was there too.

Well this is interesting.

Director Tumor Bekmembatov is looking to Kristen Stewart, of “Twilight” fame, to replace Angelina Jolie in a “Wanted” sequel. (Spoiler: Jolie died in a shooting blaze of glory in the first film.)

It would be a different role for her than the damsel who loved the vampire.

E! Online reported that KStew was his top choice for “Wanted 2,” with a returning James McAvoy.

Of course, “Wanted 2″ doesn’t exist yet. It’s not in production yet. It’s not even close to production. Bekmambetov has plenty of other films in the queue, including “The Knights Templar,” and “Moby Dick.”

You know, I actually buy that Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin would share a hotel room. Hilarious parody of “Paranormal Activity” and nice intro to a horror film tribute.

OMG!!! Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart. Both look rather bored, although it’s nice to see that KStew dressed appropriately for the Oscars — no converse or daggered skirt. And Taylor Lautner, suit and tie as usual (does this guy own a tshirt?) Did we really just see an Oscar clip package that included “Saw”, “Chucky,” an evil leprechaun and…”Twilight”??? The clip package gave some great examples of why horror movies aren’t taken more seriously. Though I do have to say the “Scream” clips have me excited for the fourth movie.

Young Hollywood on parade continues with Zac Efron and Anne Kendrick presenting art and sound editing. They are the much more impressive duo. For those of you who didn’t get a chance to see “Me and Orson Welles” (which I am assuming was many of you), definitely look for it on DVD. Efron equates himself really well and proves he is a promising leading man.

Nice bringing Morgan Freeman into the clip to show the artistry behind sound editing and mixing. Love what the Oscars are doing to explain these awards to us novices at home. I was expecting “Avatar” to pick up most of the technical categories. This could be a sign that “Hurt Locker” should be the strong favorite for Best Picture now.
And Mixing goes to “Hurt Locker” as well. “Avatar” may be in trouble.

PARK CITY, Utah — Blast caught up with Kristen Stewart on the red carpet tonight as she was heading into the world premier of her new independent biopic, “The Runaways.” In the film, Kristen portrays rocker Joan Jett alongside Dakota Fanning who plays Jett’s best friend and Runaways band mate, Cherie Currie. Kristen talked to Blast about the pressures of portraying a musical icon and what it was like chopping her hair into a mullet. She also talked about her upcoming vampire flick “Eclipse.” Below is a snippet of our chat with Kristen — check back Friday for the full interview with Kristen, Dakota Fanning and the rest of the cast of the film as well as our chat with the rocker legends themselves, Cherie Currie and Joan Jett.

A lot of things were going on yesterday. Oprah was announcing the end of her daytime talk show. Sarah Palin was touring the country, promoting her new book and jabbing at Obama’s policies at every turn. Surely, Taylor Swift was walking around somewhere telling someone that she wasn’t dating Taylor Lautner.

But ask most any girl under the age of 16 (and their moms, for that matter) what November 20 meant to them, and they’d tell you one thing: "New Moon."

At midnight last night, girls were lining up at theaters all around the world to catch the first glimpse of the sequel. Would it include all the important parts from the book? they wondered. Will the special effects be cool? Will there be enough Edward?

In the interest of full disclosure, I’ll admit I was asking myself the same things as I walked into the theater. And in the end, I was not disappointed.

Catherine Hardwicke’s "Twilight" was lacking in these ways: there was stilted dialogue, awkward special effects and some funny scenes that weren’t meant to be funny. Director Chris Weitz transitioned the cold, awkward world of "Twilight" into a warm, emotional and dynamic "New Moon."

Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg seems to have taken a little more time with this script, as the banter between the characters feels natural. She leaves the "lion and the lamb" quotes in the book where they belong.

The movie touches on almost every important scene in the book, which will please die-hard (or Twi-hard) fans. The movie moves quickly, giving about 15 minutes to process every intense emotion that Stephenie Meyer spent 100 pages talking about, so it can feel a bit rushed. But when you realize that the movie is over two hours long, you re-think that assessment.

The only part of the film that was seriously lacking was the wolf pack. Only two of the four have any serious build, and if you’re going to spend half the movie walking around shirtless, you need to at least get rid of the muffin top. Not to mention the fact that the wolf transformations are by turns incredibly realistic and incredibly…not. The wolves sometimes look fierce and other times, look like cartoons, which is a big disappointment if you’ve seen "The Golden Compass." And there’s an unforgivable sequence where wolf pack leader Sam Uley jumps off of a cliff and you feel like you’re watching an animation from the "Tomb Raider" computer game you had as a kid.

Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner have incredible chemistry. Kristen plays the broken Bella very well, and Lautner exudes the warmth of his character. Plus, he’s not bad to look at either. In the end, your heart breaks when he begs her to stay, and the most loyal Edward fans wonder if maybe they wouldn’t choose Jacob instead.

But in the end, the movie brings you back to Edward and Bella, as it should. It ends on a well-deserved cliff-hanger, leaving the Twi-hards squealing until next June, when the third installment, "Eclipse," is scheduled for release.

NATICK — “The Twilight Saga” is taking over the world, and Kellan Lutz took over the Natick Collection Mall to promote “New Moon.” The actor took part in a Q & A session with around 500 fans and made sure everyone would buy their tickets for the second installment of the saga, which comes out on November 20th. Watch the video below to see Lutz interact with his fans, answering their questions and joking about his cast mates, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Fans got to submit their questions before the Q & A session and Lutz, who plays Emmett in “Twilight,” answered some randomly selected questions and made the fans swoon with his charm. Here are some of the questions he got to answer.

QUESTION: How do you feel about being part of one of the biggest movie franchises of all time?

KELLAN LUTZ: You know what? It’s a real, it’s an honor to be a part of something that fans are so loyal to and support. It’s a magic carpet ride. To all of us actors, I think we really are living in this “Twilight” zone and it really hasn’t sunk into how big of a phenomenon it is.

Q: What is you favorite part of playing the role of Emmett?

KL: I love how much fun he gets to pick at Bella, especially in “Eclipse.” Kristen Stewart is amazing. Just to make her laugh when we were shooting and have her crack up. She would be like “I’m sorry Kellan, I can’t take it!” It’s so funny. It’s fun.

Q: What is it like playing a tough big brother?

KL: I have a lot of experience playing a tough big brother. I have a large family and I got picked on growing up and I did some picking on the little ones. So it’s always fun playing the big brother role, especially trying to crack jokes on Rob when he doesn’t get it. Again, we have such a great cast and we’re all, without any of us it wouldn’t be the family that we’ve forged.

Q: What is your favorite non-Emmett scene in “New Moon?”

KL: I’ll have to say just watching the Volturi. I never got the chance to meet them. But Michael Sheen’s amazing. I finally got to meet them while shooting "Eclipse," and they are a great group of actors.

Q: Do you have any secrets you can share with us about "Eclipse?"

KL: I’m topless throughout the whole movie, pretty much!

Q: What are your plans for after “The Twilight Saga” ends?

KL: I’m gonna cry and be depressed. I love being a part of this franchise. To have all you guys, fans, and to play Emmett…I wake up happy everyday and I’m not sad. But when it’s all said and done, I want to be the next action star. I want to play Jason Bourne.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner arrived in Paris on Monday and checked into a luxurious hotel before going out for a late dinner where they met up with Fergie, People reported.

They did a press event on Tuesday and got ready to leave for the next stop on their European “New Moon” press tour.

But Robert and Kristen were among the last to leave.

“[Pattinson and Stewart] were the last ones to leave the terminal to board the plane,” one photographer on the scene told People. “Out on the tarmac, he took her hand, like young lovers. They stopped and looked at each other, their plane, the scene. They seemed very calm, in love. They continued holding hands boarding the plane.”

Let the comments begin.

Forget the wolves. Forget the Volturi. This little snippet reminds us of just why we are counting down the days to November 20. It’s why we’ve bought our advanced tickets. It’s why we loved the books in the first place. Edward and Bella, plain and simple. So before you press play, take a deep breath and make sure you’re not holding anything spillable.

Enjoy.

Remember the crappy cartoon wolf we got a glimpse of in the first “New Moon” trailer? Well, that’s all history. Summit went back to the drawing board, and just a month before the film releases, they’re showing us how the wolves look now: ferocious, realistic and HUGE!! This is the first full clip of the movie (with an extra little intro by Taylor Lautner), so enjoy it, and be sure to check back here daily for more “New Moon” coverage – we’ll keep it coming for you!

Welcome to “New Moon” heaven. Team Edward and Team Jacob will both be pleased to see that over 80 new stills from “New Moon” have been released, just over a month before the movie’s release, in the form of the New Moon Movie Companion. And God bless the Twihard who scanned her copy so none of us would have to go out and drop $10 on Amazon.

See the best ones below.

“New Moon,” the sequel to the teenage vampire love drama that’s swept the world with its undying popularity, is selling more tickets on Fandango than any other movie, including all of the currently released films.

In a recent study, Fandango found that “New Moon,” which doesn’t open until November 20, accounted for 37 percent of its recent ticket sales, beating out “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” which had 36 percent and “The Informant!,” which only had 9 percent. “Jennifer’s Body,” raked in 4 percent of sales.

Speaking of “Jennifer’s Body,” Fandango polled users, asking “Which role would you most like to see Megan Fox play?” Thirty-two percent of responders said they want to see the sexy star play Wonder Woman, while 30 percent said Catwoman. But what’s most astonishing is that 13 percent answered “Bella in ‘Breaking Dawn.’” Thirteen percent of polled moviegoers want to see Kristen Stewart get the boot.
