The gang from “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” hit Comic-Con in San Diego and answered a few vampire-centric questions from the audience. Rob and Taylor look adorable, but what the heck is up with Kristen’s hair?  The movie hits theaters Nov. 20, 2009. Check out Film Gecko’s complete coverage here.

Is “New Moon” About Vampires?

I’ve got two  new stills from "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" below, followed by six previously released stills. 

The movie hits theaters on Nov. 20, 2009, and continues the story of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), and Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). It’s a cross-species love triangle involving a human, a vampire, and a werewolf. Check out the poster of the werewolf pack here.

In the “Twilight” rumor of the week, the gossip hounds are reporting that Kristen Stewart is pregnant with Rob Pattinson’s baby. Also that she asked a friend to buy a pregnancy test so the paparazzi wouldn’t catch her in the act herself.

Of course, publicists have been known to spread rumors to attract attention to their stars, and Kristen actually mentions that in a Twitter update: “For all I know, my publicist might have done that.”

What’s your take on it? Is she really pregnant? Or are they just trying to create movie buzz for the release of “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” on Nov. 20, 2009. After all, her character Bella Swan DOES get pregnant in the series eventually.

Much of the population might think that vampire Edward Cullen and his human alter-ego Robert Pattinson is cuter than cute. But he doesn’t share that feeling, and says that not only did he almost back out of auditioning for the role, but seeing himself on screen makes him sick!

For the rest of us, we’ll get to see Pattinson as the sultry vampire again on Nov. 20, 2009, when "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" hits theaters.

Attention, anyone looking to play Seth or Leah in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse"!

There’s an open casting call listed for these two characters at EclipseOpenCasting.com. Thanks to Nieko in Film Gecko’s "New Moon Casting News & Rumors" thread for the heads up!

From the Open Casting site:

Seth Clearwater: Seth is a Quileute Indian and the youngest member of the La Push wolf pack. He is a tall, gangly limbed boy with a huge, happy grin, the son of Harry and Sue Clearwater and the younger brother of Leah. Seth idolizes Jacob, and is always eager to please. NOTE: This is an excellent opportunity for Native American and First Nations actors. Seeking age 14-19 to play age 15.

Leah Clearwater: Leah is a Quileute Indian and the only female member of the La Push wolf pack. She is tall and slender with beautiful skin and short cropped black hair. She would be considered gorgeous if not for the perpetual scowl she carries due to a broken heart and her anger issues. She is the daughter of Harry and Sue Clearwater and the protective older sister of Seth. NOTE: This is an excellent opportunity for Native American and First Nations actors. Seeking age 18-25 to play 19.

Auditions are due by June 30, 2009. Again, visit the Eclipse Open Casting site for more info and to submit your audition.

Good luck, everyone! First dibs on interviewing the lucky actors who make it!

Wondering how things are going with "The Twilight Saga: New Moon"? Hollyscoop.com caught up with the stars of the vampire flick and got the scoop on the upcoming movie, in theaters Nov. 20, 2009. Check out the first trailer here.

And hear what Michael Welch, Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene, Peter Facinelli, Cam Gigandet, and Taylor Lautner have to say about it!

My pal Tiffany McFadden sent me this link, and passed the word along about a campaign to get Hana Pestle’s song "Need" into "The Twilight Saga: New Moon."

All I can say is: Oh.My! I just listened to the song (about 5 times) on Hana’s MySpace site, and it is SO beautiful. It would be absolutely perfect for "New Moon" – especially the heartbreaking scene where Edward leaves Bella in the woods (check out the first "New Moon" trailer here).

Hana Pestle wrote "Need", one of her first compositions, in 2004 at the age of 15. It was produced/co-written (the bridge) for her album by Ben Moody and Michael "Fish" Herring and recorded in Los Angeles last year. The string arrangements are by David Campbell, piano performance by David Hodges, engineered and mixed by Dan Certa, and mastered at Sterling Sound in NYC.

Hana started performing live in Montana at the age of 14 with just her acoustic guitar. In 2006, at age 16, one of her performance DVDs reached Evanescence creator and writer Ben Moody, who helped to craft her first solo CD. She spent the last seven months of 2008 touring the U.S. with bands Live, Collective Soul, Blues Traveler, Joshua Radin, Graham Colton, Jon McLaughlin, Ingram Hill, Corey Smith. Look for her new CD to be released July 7, 2009.

So what do you think? Should Hana Pestle’s "Need" be in "New Moon"? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!

Summit Entertainment has released the first trailer for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” and it looks explosive and heartwrenching and wild and everything else you can think of. They’re certainly ramping up the CG effects with the wolf pack.

Three new images of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" have been released exclusively to EW.com. The pics show:

• Newly 18-year-old Bella after being thrown against a table by her love, Edward.
• The mysterious vampire Laurent (Edi Gathegi) telling Bella not to be fearful of death. "’He was bad in ‘Twilight,’ but still had some compassion," he says. "Let’s just say he’s not conflicted anymore.”
• Bella and Edward about to kiss. "Rob was the first guy to say to me, ‘You know, you don’t really need to have too much of me in this film,’" notes director Chris Weitz. "I don’t want him too present, so his apparition will be a subtle, flitting effect — clearly a reflection of Bella’s will and desire to see him.”

Check out the new images here (I’ll post them as soon as they’re available). What do you think?
