This is a great video from Life in the City, featuring red carpet interviews with many of the "New Moon" cast, director Chris Weitz, and author Stephenie Meyer, during the world premiere of "New Moon" on November 16 in L.A.


The video also gives great panoramic views of the entire premiere area, from the red carpet to the two theaters to the intersection that is clogged with thousands of Twifans. You'll see why it's so exciting!

If you haven't yet seen my piece "TwiSuperfan Hits the Red Carpet!", have a look! I give the "regular" person's red carpet experience, along with some great interview videos.

This week's Entertainment Weekly features three covers, letting you choose whether you'll pick up the Team Edward, Team Bella, or Team Jacob issue.

An excerpt from this issue, which hits the stands on November 27:

“I DON’T KNOW HOW THE BEATLES FELT BUT I IMAGINE IT WAS CLOSE TO THIS,” ROB PATTINSON TELLS ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

NEW YORK – Hot off the tail of the New Moon premiere, this week’s Entertainment Weekly explores the phenomenon that is the Twilight series.

Chris Weitz opens the door to his beach house looking like a wilted rose. He’s unshaven, pale and wearing clothes he appears to have found wadded in a ball on his bedroom floor. It’s exactly the way you’d expect to find the director the morning after his movie The Twilight Saga: The New Moon opened around the world to numbers no one thought possible. But Weitz isn’t recovering from a long night of revelry. He’s just exhausted. In the last ten days, he’s been in more time zones than the sun, on the last stretch of promotional duties for his movie. “I’m at the point of physical collapse,” says Weitz, 40. “Hopefully I will now lapse into obscurity. That’s my plan.”

"New Moon"

Box Office Mojo has some amazing statistics for the opening weekend of "New Moon."

  • It shattered the midnight opening record with $26.3 million, moving past
    last July's "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" (which earned
    $22.2 million at its midnight opening).
  • It now claims the record for Biggest Opening Day, with $72.7 million.
    "The Dark Knight" previously had this record, with $67.2 million.
  • Its Opening Weekend (Nov 20-22) brought in $142.8 million, making it
    the #1 Opening Weekend for 2009. "The Dark Knight," though, still holds this record overall, with $158.4 million.
  • Its Domestic Total Gross as of November 23 is $153.3 million.
  • Its Foreign Total Gross as of November 23 is $132.1 million.
  • Its Production Budget was $50 million.

In comparison, here are the figures for "Twilight," which opened November 21, 2008:

  • It drew about $7 million for its midnight opening.
  • Its Opening Day earned almost $36 million.
  • Its Opening Weekend (Nov 21-23) grossed $69.6 million.
  • Its Domestic Total Gross is currently at $192.8 million.
  • Its Foreign Total Gross is currently at $192.2 million.
  • Its Production Budget was $37 million.

Box Office Mojo also reports that "Summit Entertainment's exit polling [for New Moon] indicated that 80 percent of the audience was female and 50 percent was under 21 years old, which means the sequel skewed more female and younger than the first Twilight. The sequel's success speaks to how pleased with the first movie moviegoers were, and the marketing upped the ante with the promotion of a new werewolf love interest in addition to the vampire one as well as a grander canvas for the story."

Box Office Mojo's charts also show "New Moon" to have the #1 ranking in the following categories:

  • Yearly Opening Weekends 2009
  • Opening Day Gross
  • Single Day Gross
  • Single Day Friday Gross
  • Opening Weekends - November
  • Opening Weekends - Holiday
  • Widest Independent Releases
  • Widest Opening Independent Releases
  • Fastest to $100 million
What a weekend! A big congratulations to Summit, Chris Weitz, Melissa Rosenberg, Wyck Godfrey, and the entire cast and crew of "New Moon"!

I'm going to send Bruce Weber a box of cupcakes, I really am. And the Vanity Fair editors a nice bottle of Patrón. Why? Because they've given us yet another round of outtakes from Rob Pattinson's photo shoot for the December 2009 issues. And there's one last set to come...squee.

Here are my favorites:

Rob in Vanity Fair
Why is Rob eating so hot? Because we rarely get to see him eat. In the "Twilight" films he doesn't eat food (not sure yet if I want to see him drain a mountain lion).

Rob in Vanity Fair
Hair, hands, 5 o'clock shadow, smoldering look--it's all here.

This is SO Robward in SO many fan fic stories. Kind of angry and emo, slightly caveman, very brooding. One of these days I will tell you about a little story
called "The Office." Just you wait ;)

See the rest of the photos here.

If you missed my earlier posts on Rob in Vanity Fair, they're here:

Although Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner are three of the "Twilight" series cast who do not have Twitter accounts, they were still able to reach out to their fans via @Twilight, the official Twitter for "Twilight."

Todd Masters, owner of character-effects company Masters FX, is not a fan of the "Twilight" series, nor does he think vampires should sparkle. He is, however, thrilled that his Seattle-based company was chosen to create the character effects for both "New Moon" and "Eclipse."

He's worked on films like "Predator" and "Mortal Kombat," but also on other vampire series such as "True Blood" and "Vampire Diaries."

Check out these photos:

I need to go find this guy; he lives in my city! Maybe he'll need more hands on deck once "Breaking Dawn" gets the official go-ahead...

Peter Facinelli was recently a guest on the Rachael Ray Show. He didn't make anything super yummmmy with EVOO, but he does talk Twitter, the "Twilight" Board Game, and "Nurse Jackie."

Myriam, Twilight SuperfanABOUT THE SUPERFAN

Myriam
Gabriel-Pollock




When I was a kid my favorite movies were Star Wars, The Sound of Music, and Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger. I like to think that my tastes have grown more sophisticated by now, but I may be delusional. I do see movies and read books in a wide range of genres, and I enjoy them immensely.

But when it comes down to it, I love the escapism and otherworldliness that fantasy brings me. I can't yet discuss The Deathly Hallows without choking up. I've watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy so many times that the DVDs might actually be wearing down. I get a wistful look in my eye when I think about the Arthurian legends. And when I watch Twilight, I actually giggle like a schoolgirl when Edward first walks into the cafeteria.

Hey I'm not a nerd, I'm a geek. Huge difference, right? So I love geeky games and gadgets. But I am also very social, I love clothes and makeup, I can sing and dance, I like the outdoors, and I enjoy my drink. I guess that makes me...a well-rounded geek?
