The New Moon Cast Hits Vancouver
By Twilight_News | March 9, 2009
Just Jared captured the cast around town in Vancouver. It looks like Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner aren’t the only cast members wandering around Vancouver. Nikki Reed, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor all went shopping together on Sunday. Unlike the last movie, when the cast and crew were somewhat unprepared for the wild fan interest, this time out cast members have been accompanied around town by body guards who can deal with aggressive paparazzi.
The cast is arriving for some pre-shooting rehearsals, make-up and wardrobe tests, etc. Part of Taylor’s pre-show prep includes dirt bike lessons.

What’s It Like To Run Into Robert Pattinson & Taylor Lautner
By Twilight_News | March 8, 2009
Mae is back with her report on exactly how she ran into Rob and Taylor yesterday:
So my friends and I were walking on Robson Street in Downtown Vancouver for my birthday dinner. My friends were walking ahead of me and I trailed behind in pain from walking in heels. As I look up and see my friends walking in front, I see a face of a man I’m all too familiar with. All I could think about was “No way, you’ve GOT to be kidding me!”. You see, my friends and I knew Robert was in town and at the beginning of the week we were joking around saying it’d be hilarious if we saw him downtown.
My friends were just staring star-struck as he passed them. As soon as he reached me I whipped out my camera and immediately asked Robert if I could take a picture with him. He was SO friendly and said “Sure of course!”. I mentioned it was my birthday and he greeted me. We had a little discussion about how I met him before in Kalama. He was surprised and asked around what time that was. I said it was in March during their last days of filming there, but I don’t think he remembered, hehe. It’s okay. The whole time we were talking I looked to his left and realize Taylor Lautner was standing there! I freaked and said hi to him. He was all smiles, of course 
So I got my picture with them and then my friends and I just started socializing with them for a bit. And then I asked Taylor for a group picture and he gladly said yes. But their bodyguard said they had a meeting, but I refused to not have a group picture (haha yes, I was quite demanding). Then we said our goodbyes & I asked Taylor for a hug. Ladies … he gives the best hugs EVER! And let’s just say … his 6 months of working out felt REAL nice 
It was an AMAZING birthday. Moral of the experience: Expect anything & everything at any given time or place.

Mae Meets Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner
By Twilight_News | March 8, 2009
About a year ago, Lexiconer Mae traveled down to Oregon to visit the Twilight filming locations. Like a lot of fans who traveled to the set, she stood in outside the roped off area in the hopes that cast members might drop by. Well, she did get lucky and Rob dropped by making her day. You can see the coverage of that here and here.
So the thing is Mae actually lives in Vancouver, Canada. She and her friends were out last night and who should she meet? (Mae is the deliriously happy person in between Rob and Taylor.)
We’ve asked Mae to explain in her own words exactly what went down. Stay tuned for that later this week.

How Did Twilight Make It To The Big Screen?
By Twilight_News | March 8, 2009
It seems the answer to that question is, “by some good old-fashioned networking and co-operation”.
According to Variety,
“A recent example of the value of co-agenting can be found in UTA’s brokering with the Writers House a Summit film deal for “New Moon” and “Eclipse,” the second and third installments in Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” series, with UTA screenwriter client Melissa Rosenberg also in the mix.”
What’s also notable about the article is that it only mentions the first three films. Numerous actors have recently been quoted about wanting to do Breaking Dawn, that the fans seem up for Breaking Dawn, etc.
Here’s our specualtion( we have no insider info, this is pure guesswork here based on information patterns): While people may want to do Breaking Dawn ( I mean who doesn’t want more money on a sure-fire blockbuster chain?) it doesn’t seem like Breaking Dawn was part of the initial deal. If it is in negociations, it doesn’t look like ink is dry on that contract. If it were, Summit surely would have announced that, and Variety would be talking about it in this article.
Now, if the Screen Actors Guild could just get their contracts settled…

Catherine Hardwicke On Hollywood
By Twilight_News | March 8, 2009
Catherine Hardwicke talked to Austin 360 about life in Hollywood. Catherine will be inducted into the Texas Film Hall of Fame on March 12th receiving the prestigious Ann Richards award. The award is named after the tough-talking, never-say-die former Texas governor.
Here’s part of the interview:
“What are your thoughts on coming down to your home state to receive the Ann Richards Award?
My dad was a cotton farmer and my mom a schoolteacher. This honor and my whole career are way beyond dreams I ever had growing up. It’s beautiful and unbelievable on so many levels. … I get a lot of cool letters from kids and people in small towns in Texas and the Valley, and they say, “You’ve inspired me to be a director.” And that’s really cool.”
