By Twilight_News | February 7, 2009
Greetings from the Flashback Weekend Twilight Conference in Chicago,
Illinois, where Lori, Laura, and Shelley are representing the Lexicon. So
far, we’ve hobnobbed with the stars, attended the vampire prom, met lots of
new friends and reunited with many friendly faces - needless to say, the
conference is a huge success. This conference is the first of several, which
will take place prior to the release of New Moon this coming Fall.
Thanks to all that have come out. We’ll be posting a full recap and photos
early next week.
Speaking of exciting news…
We wanted to let you know about some exciting new developments planned for
the Lexicon in the coming weeks.
As you’ve likely already noticed, some changes are brewing here at the Lex.
In fact, we are undertaking some significant site updates to enhance content
and functionality, making it easier for you to use.
Along with an updated structure and improved boards and blog, we will be
launching an innovative new look for the site. Over the last couple of
months, we have engaged a professional design and programming team to
develop this new look and structure, and we are thrilled with the progress
we’ve seen thus far.
So, be on the lookout for these exciting changes. We know you’re going to
love them.

As for his on-screen love interest, Rathbone blushes, “I love working with Ashley Green. It’s the easiest thing in the world to have chemistry with that girl…What can I say, I have a little crush.”
Rathbone is set to film a movie with Dev Patel and he couldn’t be happier. “I have not met Dev yet..I heard amazing things about Slumdog Millionaire. I can’t wait to see the film myself and I just hear that Dev is an incredible actor and I just can’t wait,” Rathbone declared.
Rathbone revealed details about New Moon saying, “We have a new director [Chris Weitz]. We’re going to be filming in a new location. I think we have a lot more action and a lot more steamy love affairs.”
As for the rumors Dakota Fanning is joining the New Moon cast, Rathbone commented, “I’ve heard rumors she might be. I’m pretty sure there’s an offer on the table. They’re doing negotiations right now…We would love to have her be a part of it…She would be an amazing addition.”
Since Twilight has become a phenomenon, Rathbone admits, “I get a lot more attention. A lot more work out of it which is just wonderful…In my personal life, it’s pretty much the exact same.”
Twilight has been nominated for Nickelodeon’s Kid’s Choice Awards.
“And it’s shaping up to be a battle of vampires vs. wizards when the Twilight series and Harry Potter series compete for Favorite Book.”

Over on Cosmo Girl they are talking about “Who is the hottest male celeb right now?” We’re thinking Twilighters could add some names to the list.
The latest batch of New Moon casting rumors that Lucas Grabreel auditioned are false. Popstar tracked it down to the source. Kudos to Popstar for actually contacting the actor’s management rather than just running with the rumor of the week.
Huliq News Chris Weitz is taking time out of his busy New Moon prep to judge a local Seattle film festival today.
