Peter Facinelli shares a key New Moon line
DALLAS — I have a strange job sometimes. A good example is an idea I had recently for the "Twilight" fans, where we'd ask the stars of "New Moon" to go beyond the trailers and give us a preview of their favorite lines of dialogue that we haven't seen. Innocent and fun, right?
Sure enough, actors like Ashley Greene and Jamie Campbell Bower jumped at the opportunity and had a blast with it. But when it came time to ask our old friend and Cullen patriarch Peter Facinelli, he made the very valid point that actors aren't trained monkeys who can just do a silly little dance whenever we throw a nickel in the tin cup.
Peter being Peter, he was honest, forthright and eager-to-please — and that's why the Twilighters love him. But it's also a reminder that he's a veteran actor who takes his craft very seriously (as his audition stories will tell you), as he does the entire "Twilight" saga. With that in mind, read on for our latest interview with Dr. Carlisle Cullen, in which the medicine man tells us about the line he fought to keep in the "New Moon" script — and why you'll never see him delivering it to a disrespectful reporter like me.
(And don't miss the exclusive "New Moon" trailer premiering at the 2009 Video Music Awards on Sunday, presented by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.)
MTV: So, Peter, as we get closer to the "New Moon" release, are you excited to see the final product?
Peter Facinelli: Yeah, I dig the clips that I've seen. I'm excited to see what Chris Weitz has put together. I'm looking forward — as a fan of the books and a fan of the movies — to seeing it myself.
MTV: When it comes to the "Twilight" films, there are two types of scenes: Those in Stephenie's books, and the new ones Melissa Rosenberg added. Do you feel an extra level of excitement shooting those, because they're so new?
Facinelli: I do. A lot of people keep asking "Hey, what happens in 'New Moon'?" And you say, "Well, if you've read the book, you know what happens." But I like the scenes that aren't necessarily in the book, that get to tell a little bit of the backstory. It adds another element to the moviemaking, and it's a little surprise for the fans.
MTV: We've been asking your co-stars to give us their favorite "New Moon" line in character. Can you do yours?
Facinelli: Oh, wow. Now I have to reach back a whole year and try to remember my lines from a year ago, when I can barely remember my lines the day of. ... OK, here we go: "Like everything else in life, I just had to decide what to do with what I was given." That's a line that Carlisle says.
MTV: OK, cool. But can you do it in character?
Facinelli: No. [Laughs.] Then, you gotta pay me. If I'm gonna act, you better pay me, Larry Carroll!
MTV: All right, we'll take down your address and have every fan send you a quarter.
Facinelli: You know, I don't even know if I can do Carlisle on the spot like that.
MTV: Really?
Facinelli: No. That takes time and preparation.
MTV: Well, we certainly don't want to reduce you to a Vegas-like thing. Like you're doing an Elvis imitation.
Facinelli: [Laughs.] No, no. Really, in order to play those roles, you have to get into the whole spirit of the character. I have to have on my white makeup and my contact lenses, otherwise it just doesn't work. Otherwise, it looks like Peter Facinelli trying to play something; it's weird. But I could say that's one of my favorite lines from "New Moon": "Like everything else in life, I just had to decide what to do with what I was given." But that's me saying it, not Carlisle. [In "New Moon"] Carlisle says it, and it's very Carlisle-esque.
MTV: Well, then, tell us about the day you got to deliver the line on the "New Moon" set. Was it everything you had hoped it would be?
Facinelli: I hope so. God, I hope so. You know, it was a line that wasn't in the script. It was in the book, and I asked Chris Weitz if we could put it in the movie, because I liked that line.
MTV: Really?
Facinelli: Yeah, and so we worked it into the stitching scene with Bella. It was in the book with Bella, when I was stitching her up. It's just a line that I always liked.
MTV: We know you're hard at work on a lot of things right now, Peter. But anything else new we should be looking forward to?
Facinelli: Well, between "Nurse Jackie" and "Eclipse," I'm pretty busy. I mean, I go straight from "Eclipse" right into "Nurse Jackie." So my fall and winter is pretty locked up.
Ashley Green talks "Eclipse"
Ashley Greene is getting her action star on for the third installment of the "Twilight" saga. For "Eclipse," the actress who plays Alice Cullen promises that the group is hard at work to ensure that the book's famous vampire battle is going to translate big when it hits the screen next year.
"We're getting battered and bruised, but it's good, though," she told MTV News. "We're kind of just getting into it. All the battle and fight stuff is going to happen next month."
The actress, who recently signed on to be MTV News' VMA preshow fashion correspondent, assured fans that if you see pictures of her all black-and-blue, there's no need to worry for her well-being.
"It's going really smoothly. It's going really well," she said. "We're all working really hard and learning how to kick butt. I don't know if you've seen recent pictures, but I have bruises all over my body. It's those wires. It looks like a hand mark on my arm, and it's definitely from wires."
She assures fans that all the pain will be worth it in the end. She is pretty sure that "Eclipse" is really going to please the Twilighters who are anxiously anticipating the franchise's third flick.
"I think we're trying to make it more of a drama and then add the fantasy in," she said. "So, I think the film as a whole will be very solid."
Chaske Spencer talks New Moon
Radar: Have you started filming Eclipse yet?
Spencer: No, I leave Sunday.
Radar: Are you excited?
Spencer: Yeah, I am, I’m excited to get back to work. I like to work so it’s kind of like waiting around getting ready to get back into the game.
Radar: I understand that Chris Weitz said for the last movie you guys did Wolf Camp? Tell me about that?
Spencer: Yeah, I like the choice of words, Wolf Camp. It was like a basic training. I had been going to the gym before I went up to Vancouver and just to keep in shape I go to the gym regularly but when we got there it was a whole different beast all together. They got us a trainer, and he had helped out the actors in 300 get in shape. It was really cool, me and the other guys, the wolf guys, we were pretty jacked that we were working out with the guy who was affiliated with 300. I think we were more excited about that than anything else. So what they did is he threw us into circuit training and muscle confusion workouts and we hit it pretty hard for about an hour and hour and a half. First thing in the morning that’s what we’d do. And then we just eat all day. It’s pretty much four to six meals a day plus three to four protein shakes a day as well.
Radar: You said that you like that the vampire is the cool skinny guy. Rob is basically the only guy in the show that isn’t working out in between scenes because he’s not buffing up, right?
Spencer: No, actually he was training with us.
Radar: Would you want to lift more than Rob?
Spencer: Yes! There was this competition one day we went into the gym, we have this rowing machine and I really busted my ass and I got a high record on it and I was like, yeah, beat that! Because the wolves are really competitive with each other in the gym. Then the next day I came in and Rob beat me by four seconds! Then filming was done and I never got to go back and try to up that.
Radar: Is that the first things you’re doing on Sunday when you get there?
Spencer: I hope so! I’m going to go row that and see if I can beat his record. Rob would come in either before or after us. I like that, I like that we’re separated from them, it builds the tension. You’ll see the chemistry on screen. I think that’s why they kept us wolves together, because the chemistry will come out on screen, you can’t fake that. Same with the vampires, when we’re on screen with them you’ll see the chemistry – we’re supposed to be competitive against them, resent them for who they are as vampires. I think that will come across. But we don’t resent them in real life. They’re really nice. That’s what I love about the cast, they’re really nice, everyone comes to play They’re ready to work, they’re good people It’s one of the cool things about this production, I don’t think anyone really expected it to be this big of a hit so we’re all just wide eyed and wow. They’re really good people.
Seating of Twilight cast at the VMA's
Here is the seating of Rob, Kristen and Taylor at the VMA's. They seem to be far behind but I guess it's normal since it's video music awards and the musicians must be in front. See who is in front of Rob. The one and only Taylor Swift :D . As i remember she's Rob's fan. :P
Old interview with Robert, Catherine and Jamie Marshall from New York
A QUICK BITE Robert Pattinson, right, a star of the film “Twilight,” with Catherine Hardwicke, the film’s director, and Jamie Marshall, a producer.
WHAT does a newly minted British movie star do when he hits New York?
He heads straight to Brooklyn to visit Bedford-Stuyvesant, apparently.
“I visited the Marcy projects this afternoon,” said Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward Cullen, the handsome vegetarian vampire in the film “Twilight,” which opens Nov. 21. “It was great. Nobody noticed me at all.”
Mr. Pattinson, 22, said that visiting the old stamping ground of one of his musical idols, Jay-Z, brought back memories of his own earlier artistic endeavors.
Read the rest after the jump!
“When I was 14, I fronted a rap trio,” he said late Sunday night at the Stanton Social, a dim, bustling tapas bar on the Lower East Side. Mr. Pattinson said the band was “pretty hard-core for three private school kids from suburban London.” He added, “And my mum’s, like, cramping our style, popping her head in to ask, ‘You boys want a sandwich?’ ”
Lying low in a hoodie and his ubiquitous black ski cap, Mr. Pattinson might have gone undetected in Brooklyn, but that may not be the case for long.
“In Rome there were absolute mobbings,” said the film’s director, Catherine Hardwicke, who, along with Jamie Marshall — her boyfriend and a producer of “Twilight” — had joined Mr. Pattinson for dinner. Ms. Hardwicke and Mr. Pattinson had just returned from an Italian press tour for the film adaptation of the novel for teenagers, the first in a series that has sold over 10 million copies and counting.
“I don’t know how many girls with braces tried to kiss Rob,” Ms. Hardwicke said.
“They’d ask, and if you said ‘no,’ they’d kiss you anyway,” said Mr. Pattinson, who is probably best known for his role as ill-fated Cedric Diggory in two Harry Potter films.
After macaroni and cheese and fish tacos, the group ambled over to the low-key Death & Co., a lounge on the Lower East Side, where Ms. Hardwicke sipped a raspberry and soda concoction and sketched Mr. Pattinson and her other tablemates on a napkin.
“One of my favorite parts of making the movie,” she said, “was watching Rob play the music he wrote. He just lets it out, and it breaks your heart.”
Mr. Pattinson, who sings and plays guitar, has two earthy ballads, “Never Think” and “Let Me Sign,” featured in “Twilight.” But criticism brought forth by a Web clip of an unannounced acoustic set at the Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles last month has turned Mr. Pattinson off making music.
“I was so not ready for the scrutiny,” he said. “I haven’t touched a guitar since. When you know you have to be good every time, you never want to do it again.”
Ms. Hardwicke, who had pushed Mr. Pattinson to include the tracks in the film, said, “Now I feel guilty.” Then she pored over a set of “Twilight” trading cards. “There’s no director card,” she said, without a trace of regret.
Mr. Pattinson, nursing a whiskey and soda, examined his card. “I don’t think it looks like me at all,” he said, tossing it aside. “There’s just no connection.”
“It’s crazy,” Ms. Hardwicke said. “There are T-shirts, trading cards, a board game. They even sent samples of underwear with Rob’s head on them.”
After a moment of reflection, she added, “I hope they nix those.”
Jamie Cambell Bower talks New Moon
With only two more months left before "New Moon" finally hits theaters, many fans have begun looking past the series' stars (RPattz, KStew, Taycob) and wondering who the next big breakout will be. And while it might be smart to place your money on such newcomers as Kiowa Gordon, Dakota Fanning or Cameron Bright, we feel like the man to beat might just be Jamie Campbell Bower.
Handsome, witty and starring in the high-profile role of Volturi vampire Caius, Bower has one secret weapon at his disposal that his co-stars don't: two other high-profile projects (the next "Harry Potter" movie, TV's "The Prisoner") scheduled to wage war on our pop-culture awareness soon.
When we caught up with Bower, the up-and-coming Brit was eager to deliver some surprising news about his accent, walking in the "Potter"/"Twilight" footsteps of Robert Pattinson, and why he enjoys tearing people apart.
(And don't miss the exclusive "New Moon" trailer premiering at the 2009 Video Music Awards on Sunday, presented by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.)
MTV: So, Jamie, you told us that you experimented with different accents while working on "New Moon." Is it safe to say that Caius and the other Volturi will have Italian accents, since they live in Volterra?
Jamie Campbell Bower: Actually, I have an English accent. Because they're so old — they're 2,000 years old, these guys — they would've tried [everything]. They're speaking English now, but they wouldn't have spoken English throughout all of their life. And so there's sort of a round vowel sound. The R's are very pronounced. It's kind of strange. It's almost medieval, the way we speak.
MTV: We're going to see you in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" as Gellert Grindlewald, joining Rob as the only actor to have a foot in both of these phenomenally huge franchises. Have you guys bonded over this?
Campbell Bower: Well, Rob is quite a significant character in the "Potter" movies, I believe, from what I can remember. My character is a bit smaller.
MTV: Have you and Rob discussed things he learned as he tried to go from one franchise to the other? Did he have pointers for you?
Campbell Bower: No. There isn't much difference between them, apart from the story. They're both massive franchises, and they both work like a machine, you know? Everyone's on time, and everyone's doing the best job that they can.
MTV: Some people might say that "Twilight" is more for girls, while boys enjoy "Potter" more. Would you agree?
Campbell Bower: I'd say that they've both got fairly specific fanbases. "Twilight" is more for your 13- to18-year-olds, although there are people who obviously enjoy it — older people — which is great. But I think the main audience is the 13- to 18-year-olds, maybe because of Rob and the fact that they love Edward. [As for] "Harry Potter," it's a bit younger. Although the recent films are a bit dark. I saw [a "Potter" film] the other day, and I thought it was quite scary. You've also got your older audience [there].
MTV: What's the difference between how you approach each franchise?
Campbell Bower: Like, am I playing them the same? No, I mean, they're two different characters, they're two different people. [To play them the same] would be like, "I've just eaten some cheese, and now I'm eating an apple, and it tastes like cheese." When you're filming anything, you've just got to believe in the character and believe yourself that you are the character.
MTV: What's the one scene in "New Moon" you most enjoyed filming?
Campbell Bower: Well, there's a particular scene where we rip this guy apart, and I just sit there smiling and really enjoying it. When I got the script, I was like, "That's the one I want to do the most!," because there's nothing to say. It's really sordid, gross and really grim — that was pretty fun.
Gossip cop talks about OK! magazine cover
“Rob Risks It All For Kristen,” blares OK! magazine’s cover story about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, adding “How his engagement to Kristen is putting Rob’s career and the future of Twilight in jeopardy.” (Engagement? Really?? Uh, no.)
Moving on: The tabloid claims that his reported romance with Stewart is progressing so quickly, “it’s not only his legions of female fans who might be disappointed to see Rob taken off the bachelor block by Kristen — there’s also the folks behind the Twilight films.” According to the weak weekly, “A real-life romance between the two would subvert New Moon’s entire story line, in which Bella [Stewart] falls for hunky werewolf Jacob Black, played by 17-year-old Taylor Lautner, and the studio brass want the Bella-Jacob spark to appear equally as plausible as the Bella-Edward [Pattinson] relationship.”
OK, OK! - one is a movie; the other is real life.
Not surprisingly, OK! has a “source” to support this claim of studio pressure. Says the so-called insider: “The producers took Rob and Kris aside and told them to keep their relationship under wraps for a few more months . . . [But] they’re crazy about each other, and they want to shout it from the rooftops.” (You would think this supposed “source” could come up with something less cliché than shouting from rooftops.) Anyway, the reason there are no rooftop rants, alleges the “insider,” is that Pattinson and Stewart are “part of this massive machine called Twilight and producers have this thing timed with scientific precision. They don’t want Rob and Kristen to tell the world about their relationship until the time is right.”
Well, the time is right for us to debunk this junk. Our production sources say no restrictions have been placed on Pattinson and Stewart, other than those needed to protect them from the paparazzi.
Still, the story gets even more ridiculous. That same source claims, “Rob’s whole world is Kristen. I’m surprised he even knows his lines because he’s so absorbed with her . . . He’s all about his woman.” Yeah, he’s really in danger of not learning his lines. Not OK!
Gossip Cop thinks the tabs sometimes come up with even more creative fantasies than the movies their stories are based on.
Chris Weitz talking New Moon in Bliss magazine
Setting the scene:
“I’d like to think the vibe on set was relatively calm. I was very careful to try to show the actors diagrams of the sets, so they didn’t turn up without knowing what it was like first. It was fun once we got there, but very, very tiring.”
Body Beautiful:
“It’s impossible to take a bad picture of Rob, even with these motion picture spots all over him! I think the hysteria over him is greater than for any of the other guys because the character he’s playing is unattainable and perfect. Thankfully, Rob has a highly developed sense of the absurd, so he doesn’t suffer as much as he otherwise would. However, when we were in Vancouver, there were days when he would just stay indoors and read or watch movies. If he went to his window, people would scream! He was kind of a hermit, really/ It’s hard for me to judge how he’s changed because I didn’t know him in the last movie.”
Fan Frenzy:
“I tried not to check what fans were saying on the internet until the film finished, as I knew I’d be influenced by them. We had a lot of crazy fans show up during filming, especially in Italy. I mean crazy only in a nice way! More and more fans showed up every day until the entire town was just awash with young people. They didn’t even sneak around – they were just there. I’d say 90% were what you’d think of as typical Twilight fans – young girls – and then there were the parents, the Twilight Mums… even the occasional heterosexual male! The only difficulty is when you have a camera, all the lighting gear and you’re in a little city with small alleyways and there are thousands of fans there, it’s actually hard to move from one place to another. That posed a practical probelem.”
Kristen’s Character:
“Kristen is one of those actors who inhabits the role she’s playing. She was in Joan Jett mode [from filming The Runaways], and then was thrown into promoting New Moon. I think she addresses the questions put to her seriously, and that’s not always what the fans are looking for. They want something fun and cute, but she’s a serious character. Anyone would be uncomfortable in front of 7,000 screaming fans, it’s just a question of how well you hide it.”
Robsten’s Snog Secrets:
“I was surprised at how clever Rob and Kristen are. That’s not to say that I thought they were dummies before, but they had such a strong sense of their own characters and they’re very serious about what they might say at any given moment. In a way, you expect people to coast a bit in the sequel or to think, ‘This is not a realistic situation because I’m playing a girl who’s in love with a vampire, so I have no responsiblilty to convey realistic emotions.’ But they both want to put some kind of truth into everything, even when the scenes they’re playing are just bizzare.”

Mark February 12, 2010, on your calendars, people; for that day is likely to see the box-office battle of the century.
The Examiner reports that Twilight co-stars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner will be facing off with each other for the hearts and dollars of moviegoers, as Remember Me and Valentine's Day open on the very same day.
Remember Me, of course, is Rob's upcoming romance flick co-starring Emilie De Ravin. Valentine's Day, meanwhile, is the star-studded Garry Marshall film that features T-Laut getting hot and heavy with country warbler Taylor Swift.
This could get intense...
Well as much as I love Rob and the story of "Remember me" I don't think it'll succeed as much as Valantine's Day, and the reason why I think this would happen is because in Tayler's movie there are a lot more characters and some really big names like Julia Roberts, who has a lot of fans that would go to see it. But that's just my opinion I hope I'm wrong.
New Moon soundtrack headliner available on the official New Moon sountrack web site.
With two months left before the movie hits theaters, "Twilight" fans can at least pass the time with some "New Moon" mood music.
Death Cab for Cutie's "Meet Me on the Equinox," the second installment's official theme song, is available now on the official "New Moon" sountrack Web site.
We love Death Cab, the perfect choice for a "New Moon" soundtrack headliner -- has one band ever spent so much time crafting music about breakups? -- but this one took some time to grow on us. Blame it on the overuse of the echo effect, more suited to your traditional dark vampire movie than one in which the undead hero sparkles in sunlight.
This chapter in the story finds human Bella (Kristen Stewart) and vamp Edward (Robert Pattinson) splitting after a bloody birthday party. The theme of breakups as a sort of death -- already so emotionally fraught for teens -- figures heavily.

Ashley Greene's 2009 VMA Fashion Predictions
They will probably just wear some sort of tie or jeans and a nice shirt,' she says of 'Twilight' co-stars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.
Ashley Greene has definitely made a splash on the slew of red carpets she's walked, thanks to her girly, funky sense of fashion. But at this year's Video Music Awards, she won't just be heating up the carpet as one of the night's big attendees, she'll also be working the red carpet as MTV News' very own preshow fashion correspondent.
Greene follows in the footsteps of VMA-nominated Taylor Swift, who had the task last year. But she isn't sure she wants to get Swift on the phone anytime soon for advice. "I kind of want to do my own thing and I don't want to have anything to go off of," she told MTV News. "It's cool we get to put our spin on it. I feel like [getting advice] would mess me up."
And although Greene may not want to speak to her beforehand, she is excited at the chance to get to meet Swift when the show goes live from New York on Sunday. "I know Taylor Swift went last year, and I'm actually really excited to meet her," she said about her predecessor. "I think that's going to be very cool."
She's also eager to see what the other fashionistas of the night are going to be wearing for the show. Her predictions for best dressed include a Gossip Girl and two A-list nominees who happen to be battling it out for Moonmen. "I think Leighton Meester has really great style. I think Beyoncé always has really cool things," she said. "[Lady Gaga] always has the craziest fashion ever, and I'm really excited to see if she'll come over and chat with me about her inspiration, what she does. I feel like she makes her own world and her own fashion world."
Greene has been too busy filming "Eclipse" to worry much about what she'll be wearing at Sunday's show. "I have absolutely no idea at this point. I think we're going to squeeze in [a fitting] Saturday. I'm sure it's going to be something along the lines of some sort of mini and possible silver or gold. I feel like that's very VMA-ish," she explained. "As far as boundaries and stuff, push them a bit, and I am the fashion correspondent, so I think I can be a little crazy."
Greene has even less of an idea of what her fellow "Twilight" stars Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson are going to don for the carpet. "Gosh, I have no idea. I feel like the guys have it a little bit easier. They will probably just wear some sort of tie or jeans and a nice shirt.
"We just did Teen Choice, and Kristen had this crazy dress with bullets all over it, which I kind of feel might have been appropriate for the VMAs. So I'm sure she'll do something like that again, but I haven't talked to her about what she wants to wear."
