MTV details and pic about the new New Moon trailer

It's been almost two weeks since we told you MTV will exclusively premiere an expanded "New Moon" trailer at the 2009 Video Music Awards on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET.

You've waited long enough, right? Don't you deserve a little advance taste of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner as they return for the second installment of the "Twilight" franchise? Of course! So behold MTV's "New Moon" teaser video, filled with looks at Bella Swan, Edward Cullen and Jacob Black, with insight into many of the film's essential plot points and peeks at the ruthless Volturi coven. (Beware of spoilers below!)

When it comes to Bella, the teaser video shows the high school student bereft after Edward leaves for Italy, which leads her to attempt an adrenaline-seeking series of stunts. The trailer shows Bella submerged underwater as a vision of Edward floats upside down next to her and Jacob's arm reaches out to pull her to safety. We also see Bella speeding down a road on a motorcycle as a vision of Edward flutters in the background. No doubt, she is continually haunted by his presence throughout the film. But eventually, Bella shows up in Italy, and we see them together again, albeit uneasily.

We also get the Volturi, those vampires residing in the ancient Italian city of Volterra who have become a kind of royal governing authority in the vampire world, delivering swift, violent justice to anyone who threatens their way of life. There's red-pupiled Jane (Dakota Fanning), a powerful young member of the clan whose special ability is to inflict incapacitating pain with her thoughts — a skill she developed after being burned at the stake as a child. The teaser also delivers a shot of the Volturi leaders: Aro (Michael Sheen), the founder of the coven and its de facto leader; super-creepy Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl), who wanders through life in a zombie-like haze; and Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower), a viciously cruel vampire with murderous inclinations.

And don't forget about the two male heroes of "New Moon." We see the werewolf Jacob consoling Bella after Edward has skipped town, as well as a rad shot of the beast bearing its fangs as several more of its kind sniff around in the woods. Meanwhile, off in Italy, we see Edward taking off his shirt in broad daylight. For a vampire, that cannot be a good thing! He also gets into a fight with one of the Volturi, who grabs him by the neck.

There'll be more Edward, more werewolves, more Volturi and more of all things "New Moon" when the full trailer debuts at the VMAs. Pattinson, Stewart and Lautner will be there too. Tune in starting at 9 p.m. ET to check it all out.

Ashley Green talks "Breaking dawn"

The cast of "Twilight" has already wrapped the second film in the franchise, "New Moon," and is just in the beginning stages of filming the third, "Eclipse." But there has yet to be any official word that the series will extend to a fourth film.

With a fourth book in the "Twilight" series, there's a good chance that Twilighters will get to see all their favorite vampires, werewolves and mortals come back for a film version of "Breaking Dawn." But Ashley Greene, who will be MTV News' VMA fashion correspondent on Sunday, can't make any promises just yet.


"I think it's expected to do a fourth one. I definitely think that they want to," she told MTV News. "But again it depends on how the second one does, and the third one."

The second and third installments are highly anticipated, which bodes well for the possibility of a fourth. But first, Greene would have to finalize any arrangements to come back to reprise her role as Alice Cullen. "There's nothing for me personally. There's nothing saying I'm going to do the fourth one, but there's nothing saying I'm not. My team, my management and the studio haven't even really discussed it," she explained.

Twilighters, don't despair! Greene, who shared earlier this week how she's gotten battered and bruised making "Eclipse," is pretty sure that more from the "Twilight" saga is bound to get the green light eventually. "If it keeps going in the direction that 'Twilight' went, in as far as the success and the popularity of it, it would kind of be a no-brainer."

Twilight bands at the VMA's

Both Death Cab For Cutie ( to headline the New Moon soundtrack) and Paramore (headliners of the Twilight soundtrack are up for VMAs. Paramore is in the best rock video category with some stiff competition by Kings of Leon, Coldplay, Greenday, and Fall Out Boy, and Death Cab for Cutie is the breakthrough video category in with tons of competition.

Rob & Kristen's Romance Eclipses Kellan Lutz

Don't expect a threesome with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Kellan Lutz—or even just a lunch date—to happen anytime soon.

They don't hang.

"They're just so complex, and I like to laugh and smile," Twilight's Emmett Cullen told E! News at the W Hotel's lounge backstage at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week just before the Monarchy show.

As for everyone's favorite couple…

Yeah, Kellan's not sure either.

"I don't know what's going on. I have no idea," he claims. "I don't hang out with Rob or Kristen."

And while he promises that "a romance" is not the reason for this, he also quite clearly prefers one half of Robsten over the other.

"They are attractive humans, yes they are," he admits. "I'm nice with Rob also. I look great with him too. I think I look better with Rob…Rob's awesome. I love him to death."

But don't get the wrong idea. Despite word of a breakup, Kellan was chilling right next to 90210's AnnaLynne McCord in that fashion-friendly lounge, and they both had colds, so you do the math.

Sniffles aside, Kellan says shooting Eclipse has its pros and cons and, of course, it all comes back to Rob and Kristen.

"It's going great. We all love Vancouver. It's just that there's just so many paparazzi everywhere," he admits. "We've been moving around to new places like every two weeks. Especially for Rob—we feel bad for him. Like, we go out to cast dinners, and whenever Rob's shooting, that's when we can have free time because usually that's when everyone is trying to shoot Rob or Kristen. So then we can actually be free to walk around the city and shop and go out to eat. You know, when we want to do cast dinners, it's tough because you can't just chill."

Instead, Kellan plays board games like Risk and Clue with Ashley Greene and friends while Pattz and that girl whose name he hardly mentioned do whatever "complex" people do.

Ashley Greene, MTV's Fashion Correspondent for the 2009 VMAs, on Taylor Swift's Advice and Taylor Lautner's Style

In an article on Teen Vogue:

With Kristen, Rob, and Taylor all set to attend, the Twilight crew is certainly going be well represented this Sunday at the MTV Video Music Awards. But the spotlight's on Ashley Greene (a.k.a. vampire Alice Cullen) who's been handpicked by the network to be this year's red-carpet fashion correspondent. We caught up with the sartorially-savvy actress to discuss what fall trends she'll be rocking, who she's going be looking out for at the premiere, and which Twilight castmate she thinks is the most fashion-forward.


Do you know what you'll be wearing yet on Sunday?

No, I'm about to fly into New York to meet my stylist--she's worked with me for awhile and knows what I like. I'm a huge fan of Dolce & Gabbana: Their stuff fits me really well, and I just love the bodice and the silhouettes of their dresses. I wore Dolce to the Teen Choice and MTV Movie Awards this year, but I think Sunday's outfit is going to be a little bit edgier. I feel like at the VMAs, you can go all out.

Are there any fall trends your taking into consideration?

I like the strong shoulders look on dresses--and right now you can get away with metallics and bright colors. My stylist mentioned thigh-high boots...Maybe I'll change a couple times, who knows. My outfit will probably be a short dress and high, high heels, though. Like Brian Atwood's, they're beautiful.

Fashion-wise, who are you most excited about seeing on the red carpet?

Lady Gaga and Katy Perry always have these crazy, insane outfits, so I'm excited to see them. Taylor Swift, who actually did this last year, has a really sweet and classic style so I'm looking forward to see what she wears. As last year's correspondent, Taylor changed twice, and I just loved both of her outfits. Oh, and Beyonce!

Any boys?

Of all the guys, I think Kanye West has a really interesting style.

How exactly did you get picked to be MTV's fashion correspondent?

They contacted me--I was so excited when they called. Maybe part of it was the Dolce dress that I wore to the MTV Movie Awards--it just got so much attention! And I just love fashion.

Have you always been interested fashion?

No, I grew up in Jacksonville, Florida--it was a lot of tank tops, shorts, and flip-flops. Basically the least amount of clothing possible, because it was so humid and hot! Fashion was never that available to me before, so now I'm in this whole new world. I'm definitely still learning.

Are there any fashion trends on the set of Eclipse that we should know about?

Oh gosh, no. I mean, I love my wardrobe on set, I feel like it's almost inspired by Audrey Hepburn. I have this one outfit that's straight out of a Chanel ad which I'm excited about. But the colors are a lot of grays and dark blues and creams. We don't get to go too crazy: we're supposed to be trying to fit in, not stand out.

What about off-set style?

Uh, we wear hats and glasses to cover up [laughs]. No, my everyday style is pretty simple. I'm really into slouchy boots. I just got this amazing pair of faux leather leggings that are incredible: they just instantly sass up my whole outfit.

Do you have a plan for the carpet on Sunday?

Taylor Swift--she's so sweet--actually offered to call and give me a run-though of her experience last year. I think that will calm me down a bit!

Any idea of what your costars will be wearing?

I have no idea--I'm sure they're all doing something last minute. We've all been working like crazy! I feel like all their style sense is kind of lax. Taylor Lautner, out of all the guys, always looks pretty sharp on the carpet.

Do you think that--out of the whole Twilight cast--he has the best fashion sense?

Yeah, I think so!
