Robert Pattinson to Star in Superhero Movie Youngblood?

Posted: 24 Aug 2009 11:18 AM PDT

X-Men director Brett Ratner has his eye on New Moon superstar Robert Pattinson for his new superhero film Youngblood–

Forget about Team Edward. If “X-Men: The Last Stand” director Brett Ratner has his way, “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson will be joining Team “Youngblood.”

“Definitely [Robert Pattinson] from ‘Twilight,’ ” Ratner told MTV News when asked if he had any actors in mind for his upcoming film based on a comic book series about a government-sanctioned team of superheroes. “He just feels like he belongs in that world.”

“I don’t only see him as a vampire,” explained Ratner. “He’s a really good actor.”

“[Pattinson] could do anything,” said Ratner. “He just has that look. … I picture him on Youngblood, for sure.”

Interview with New Moon Director Chris Weitz

Posted: 24 Aug 2009 10:37 AM PDT

MTV has a new interview with New Moon director Chris Weitz, where he reveals more details on how the movie will differ from the perspective of the book–

MTV: Obviously, “New Moon” is written from the perspective of Bella. But Melissa Rosenberg recently told us about a scene with Victoria that gets away from Kristen’s point of view. Are there other moments like that?

Weitz: It’s from Bella’s point of view … but, for instance, when Alice has a vision of Edward about to commit suicide, we see her vision. To me, that’s fair — because, in the book, Alice conveys that immediately to Bella, and you can see Bella imagining what Alice is saying. At points where a reader of the book might logically imagine a scenario, it was OK for the filmmakers — me — to imagine seeing something that would be outside of Bella’s knowledge at that point. Or something that’s within the scope of her imagination. She fears the worst, really, in terms of Edward.

Filming New Moon an “Epic Experience”, says Christian Serratos

Posted: 25 Aug 2009 06:21 AM PDT

New Moon human pal Christian Serratos was at a Nylon party last night in Hollywood and Radar had a chance to quiz the actress on what it was like to film New Moon.

“It was an epic experience and so massive,” She explained at the Nylon Magazine party on Monday night at Hollywood’s Mondrian Hotel. “I didn’t expect it. But we all get along so well. We film and get our work done, and then we all get together, we go to dinner, we have fun, we’re all around the same age so we just mesh really well.

She also says “hell if I know” to the Q of whether Rob and Kristen are dating.

Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner: Talk About Bella/Jacob Break Up in New Moon

Posted: 25 Aug 2009 07:23 PM PDT

In a new interview with MTV, New Moon-ers Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner talk about their ‘break up’ scene in New Moon and give out some juicy deets -

MTV: He is very huggable. Tell us about one scene that you read either in Stephenie Meyer’s book or in Melissa Rosenberg’s screenplay that you were like, “Man, that’s going to be tough to pull off,” and tell us how you were able to figure it out.

Stewart: “New Moon” is riddled with all of that. I think it’s the one book in the series that I was intimidated by — in a good way. That’s the best feeling to start a movie with. But probably, my favorite line in the book is when I have to say to [Jacob], “It’s him; it’s always been him!” Like, I have to say that. Yeah, it killed me, it killed me.

MTV: It was a tough day to shoot?

Stewart: Yeah, and just like everything in our movie, it’s such a heightened version of reality. It’s like, people don’t just break up [in the "Twilight" films] — they break up and it literally kills you. It’s not like you just say, “Oh, I’m really depressed and crying.” Everything is supposed to be a fantasy version of that. So I always had a really hard time figuring out, “Am I doing enough? Do I look like I’m going to die?”

MTV: Yeah, it would be tough to be the most dramatic person in the world, but without being cheesy. And Taylor?

Lautner: ["New Moon"] is very complicated. There’s a lot of heartbreak, there’s a lot of things going on. Edward leaves at the beginning, she goes into this depression, I come to try and bring her out of it. Then I go through my own issues, and then she leaves me. It’s all over the place, and there’s a lot going on, and there’s many of those scenes that you described.

MTV: Which was your favorite to shoot?

Lautner: My favorite one was — well, we call it the breakup scene — but it’s the scene right after she sees me shirtless and I’ve cut off my hair, all different for the first time. I have to tell her that we can’t be friends anymore.
