Chris Weitz to direct Breaking Dawn?


Although Twilight and New Moon screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg played coy when Marc Malkin asked whether she would write the screenplay for Breaking Dawn last month, we were able to confirm from our studio sources that she will, in fact, be back to write the fourth script—and possibly the fifth.


It's still up in the air whether B.D. will be two movies—hence why everyone dodged any questions about the fourth flick during the New Moon junket.

During the press conference a reporter asked Kristen Stewart about the possibility of two movies, but the mic was immediately pulled away as the intermediary guy said "next question."

So what's the latest on the fourth Twilight flick? And will New Moon's Chris Weitz direct?

Kristen Stewart & Taylor Lautner Weigh In On The 'Team Edward' Vs. 'Team Jacob' Debate

By Lauren Joskowitz

With the debut of “New Moon” just around the corner, the age-old Team Jacob or Team Edward dispute is going to come more and more into play. Celebrities and fans are continuing to choose sides, but some people are still having trouble deciding — the mysterious, passionate vampire or the hunky, sweet teen-werewolf. To make your decision a little easier, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner picked the characters apart and pin-pointed just what it is that will make you drool over both the bloodsucker and werewolf.



Although you would assume Taylor is Team Jacob, he understands how your vote could go either way. “It just depends on your type … If you believe in that friendship and you guys are friends at first and you develop this deep friendship and then all of a sudden fall in love later on, then you should be Team Jacob," he noted. “But, if you believe in love at first sight, seeing that mysterious man in the corner, then alright, join Team Edward.” Check out the clip above to find out which team Kristen chooses and who she thinks Bella should be with.

Are you Team Jacob or Edward? Why?

Robert Pattinson Wants Gus Van Sant To Direct 'Breaking Dawn'


In early 2008, then-little-known actors including Robert Pattinson, Ashley Greene and Taylor Lautner traveled to Portland to shoot a small vampire film that they hoped would get a theatrical release. Barely two years later, "Twilight" is one of the biggest franchises in Hollywood, with two Vancouver-filmed sequels rolling into theaters. Now, Pattinson is revealing plans to return to the city where it all began — and recommending the Portland-based Oscar nominee he wants to direct "Breaking Dawn."

"I probably shouldn't say this," Rob revealed to MTV News over the weekend, acknowledging that the wheels are slowly creeping into motion on "Breaking Dawn" getting made. "But I've heard that we're going to shoot it in Portland.

"I think Gus Van Sant would be great to do it," RPattz added, naming his dream director.

A double Oscar nominee for "Good Will Hunting" and last year's "Milk," Van Sant went to school in Portland, and has called the city home for many years while filming such movies as "Drugstore Cowboy," "My Own Private Idaho" and the 2005 Kurt Cobain-quasi-biopic "Last Days."

"He shoots everything in Portland," reasoned the 23-year-old British heartthrob. "He's good at making it look beautiful."

Pattinson, whose long-term plans include starting a production company that would help make the sort of small, indie films that Van Sant has been overseeing for decades, thinks Stephenie Meyer's fourth novel would be a perfect fit for the "To Die For" director. Overflowing with teenage angst, sex and violence, "Dawn" is the sequel that Twilighters are most eager to see. And, with scenes of Edward giving Bella a vampire cesarean, Jacob selecting the pale vampire-human baby as his soul mate and Bella as a vampire, it also promises to quite possibly be the weirdest.

"It's all about teenage love and obsessions," Rob explained. "I think Gus Van Sant would be great."


People's Choice Nominee Taylor Gets Physical in Men's Health


Taylor Lautner kept his shirt on for the cover of December's Men's Health, but his muscles were still a hot topic. Inside the magazine, Taylor's trainer Jordan Yuam opened up about their exercise regimen that created the New Moon star's amazing abs. Taylor and his costars are currently off doing press for their film in Paris, but back home in the US the Twilight gang led the pack at the People's Choice Awards nominations that came out today. He earned a spot in the Best Breakout Actor category as well as best ensemble — check out the whole list here!

'New Moon' World Premieres Continue: Robert, Kristen & Taylor Say Bonjour To Paris


So much for all those crazy rumors that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart would continue to embark on their around-the-world "New Moon" press tour separately (apparently people assumed they were planning to do so to avoid the inevitable are they? or aren't they? chatter)! The duo were flanked by costar Taylor Lautner and director Chris Weitz as they introduced the City of Lights (a.k.a. Paris) to the "Twilight" sequel.

Before you dive into our photo gallery from today's press tour stop, there are two interesting tidbits we feel we should point out. First, instead of "Nouvelle Lune" (like we would expect) the step-and-repeat poster behind the stars read, "Twilight Chapitre 2: Tentation" — which, means temptation in French ... ooh la la. And secondly, KStew really upped the feminine quotient by donning a cream colored J. Mendel dress that seemed to be draped perfectly on her figure. We welcome this transition from her previous press tour choice in Brazil — jeans, a tee shirt (with a gun on it) and suspenders. Though, then again this is France, we wouldn't feel right if we weren't dressed to the nines either.

Time Out New York Kids Interview with Peter Facinelli


I felt like I was in a dream—but I wasn’t. I really was talking to Peter Facinelli, aka Dr. Carlisle Cullen from the Twilight movies. Although the series’ fans are bloodthirsty with anticipation for the November 20 release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the 35-year-old actor—an avid Tweeter with over 1.2 million followers, and father to three daughters with 90210's Jennie Garth—seems as calm and cool as his signature vampire character. Currently in New York shooting the second season of Showtime’s Nurse Jackie, Facinelli regularly commutes home to Los Angeles to visit his family. The strikingly handsome star took some time from his hectic coast-to-coast schedule to fill Time Out Kids in on his family, his career, his hometown (in Queens!) and, of course, the Cullens.

Will Twilight fans be surprised by New Moon?

I don’t know if they’ll be surprised; I’m hoping they’ll walk out of the theater happy. I was a fan of the book and am very pleased with how the movie came out. The Cullen family isn’t featured as prominently [as in the first film]. New Moon is focused more on the werewolf side of this small town. Also, Chris Weitz directed New Moon and his vision is different from [Twilight director] Catherine Hardwicke’s. It’s not the same as Twilight, but it still has its edge.

Was it challenging to play dad to a brood of actors so close to your own age?

When I first got cast I thought, I’m only about ten years older than these kids; how am I supposed to play their father? But I was more conscious of that on the first movie. Carlisle’s speech pattern and movements aren’t very contemporary, so it gives him more of a patriarchal feel.

Is the Facinelli household on Team Edward or Team Jacob?

When I asked my three-year-old what she liked about Twilight she said Edward.

How has Twilight changed you?

I've definitely got more people asking me to have a picture taken with them. The fan base is fantastic. They are very loyal and giving. Some people will fly in from other states just to come meet me.

Do you have a lot of moms as fans?

The fans span all ages. It’s not like more of the moms like me. They love the whole Cullen family.

How do you like living in New York?

It’s great! I grew up in Ozone Park, so it’s always nice to come back. I moved to L.A. in 1996 but I’ve shot a number of things here: The Big Kahuna with Kevin Spacey and Danny DeVito, Riding in Cars with Boys and now Nurse Jackie.

What are your favorite things to do with your family in the city?

At Christmastime we like to see the tree at Rockefeller Center and go ice-skating in Central Park. The kids love to go shopping at FAO Schwarz, walk around the city and buy pretzels or hot nuts on the street corners.

Ever get back to Queens?

A couple months ago I went to Aldo’s Pizzeria where I used to go all the time. They sponsored my baseball team when I was a kid. Aldo is still working there on Cross Bay Boulevard and still makes one of the best pizzas in New York.

What was it like growing up in Ozone Park?

It was a real community. All the neighbors knew each other and watched out for one another. Fourth of July was huge. The streets would close down and fireworks would be lit off all the way down the block. I have a lot of good memories.

How do you balance family and work?

Any minute I have off, I try to get home. Last year I flew into L.A. on a Friday morning, picked up my kids from school, put up the Halloween decorations, had dinner with them and got back on a plane that night to go back to film. But it was worth every minute that I got to spend with them. I try not to go more than two weeks without seeing them even if it’s only for a day. And we also have Skype. At least we get to see each other! Sometimes we’ll even eat dinner together. I’ll be eating ramen noodles and they’ll be having a wonderful home-cooked meal.

As working actors, you and Jennie both have incredibly demanding schedules. What’s the key to your successful marriage?

We take it one day at a time. My theory: Don’t throw in the towel in a relationship if you’re having rocky times. You’re just going to have to start over with somebody else and then you’re going to have rocky times with them. Every time we’ve ridden through the rocky times, our love’s gotten deeper. At this point we’ve been together 15-odd years and I can't imagine trading that time for somebody else.

You and Jennie have three children, daughters Luca Bella, Lola Ray and Fiona Eve. Any plans for more?

I believe the world was made for a family of five and no more. When you get in a car, you can seat five comfortably. When you go out to dinner, you can seat five comfortably. I’m from a family of six but those were different days; everyone climbed in the back of a Chrysler and your face was smashed up against the glass and nobody cared. That being said, never say never!

What do you like to do during your downtime, besides Twitter?

What downtime? Any downtime I have is spent with my family, with my kids. In between one doing soccer and basketball, another doing horseback riding and the three-year-old wanting to go to the park, I don’t have a lot of downtime.

Is it true that you like to take family road trips?

Yes. We take our RV to our daughter’s soccer tournaments and we drove to Portland, Oregon this past summer. I just bought a new RV the other day. We had a 33-foot and now we’ve moved up to a huge 40-foot Class A motor home. Who knows? Maybe I’m making room for one more child.

What’s up next for you, aside from the Twilight series?

I’m filming Nurse Jackie through December. There’s the possibility of a fourth Twilight [film]. I’ve written three scripts and hopefully they’ll eventually get set up.

Of all the characters you’ve played, do you have a favorite?

That’s like asking me to pick a favorite kid! Every one of my characters is my creation. I’ve liked them all. Dr. Cullen is a great character, but so is Dr. Cooper [from Nurse Jackie]. I love playing them both.

Rob Clears Up Some Rumors in Extra Interview


New Moon TV Spot, 'Battle'


I am getting so excited! Only 9 days to go!!!

Exclusive: Jamie Campbell-Bower on 'New Moon'


While The Twilight Saga: New Moon belongs to Jacob and the Wolf Pack, the sequel also introduces a new, sinister threat: the Volturi, an ancient and powerful coven of vampires who rule the vampire world from beneath the Italian city of Volterra. We spoke with Jamie Campbell-Bower – a.k.a. the Volturi leader Caius – about his brief but important appearance in New Moon, his ambiguously homosexual portrayal of Gellert Grindelwald in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and how he's managed to avoid falling victim to the fan and media frenzy that surrounds co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart – despite having tens of thousands of followers on Twitter.

You play Caius, one of the three powerful vampires who rule the Volturi. But we only get to see you briefly, at the end of New Moon. Is it challenging to infuse your character with all of the back story and motivations that he has when you have limited screen time?

Jamie Campbell-Bower: Well, it wasn't difficult because there's so much back story, particularly to the Volturi. We all knew what we were there for, we knew what we were doing. You know, the thing about the Volturi is that they're introduced in the second film and then come the fourth book, that's where the meatiness lies. So it's an introduction, effectively. But I wasn't disappointed; I knew exactly what I was going to be doing when I got the script. I'm just psyched to be involved in it.
