Quote of the Day: Taylor Lautner on Shirtlessness

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Romance, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases

“I worked hard to get in shape for this role. My motivation was the movie and the fans, but I don’t want to become known as just a body. If I had to choose, I would never take my shirt off again in a movie, but I guess that’s not very realistic. I certainly won’t be asking to do it, though.”

- New Moon hunk Taylor Lautner on going topless. I hope that he seriously reconsiders that bit about not wanting to take his shirt off again for a film!

(Make sure to check out other notable quotes.)

With just 31 days to go, the folks behind the marketing for The Twilight Saga: New Moon just know when to throw us some bait.

Here’s a clip, complete with an introduction with Taylor Lautner. All I have to say is that those guys must go through tons of clothes!

This is to hoping that you’ve mark your calendars for November 20th (assuming you can still get tickets without pre-ordering).

Jacob Black the Star of New Moon Trailer

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Horror, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Trailers, Upcoming Releases

Based on the latest box office results, you were probably one of the many who didn’t watch Bandslam this weekend. That means you most likely missed out on the latest New Moon trailer.

Although we’ve already heard Bella tell Jacob Black that he’s “sorta beautiful,” we haven’t seen his bedroom skills until now. Did you know he could just leap in and out of your window? Pretty amazing considering he’s 30 pounds bigger!

“New Moon is a lot more complicated than Twilight was,” Taylor Lautner narrates. “As time goes on, the heat starts building. New Moon is gonna be stepped up a whole other notch. There’s more action in this one, especially with the werewolves involved. I think the fans are really going to be happy.”

The Twilight saga continues on November 20.

Taylor Lautner Goes Shirtless for New Moon Teaser Trailer

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction, Trailers, Upcoming Releases

Isn’t it just like a guy to show off his abs when a girl’s feeling vulnerable?

In this new teaser trailer for New Moon, Jacob Black (actor Taylor Lautner) finally gets the compliment he worked out so hard for: “You’re sorta beautiful.” (Judging by his reaction, I’m sure he would have preferred “You’re really hot”—but maybe Bella will say that post-haircut.)

The full trailer will hit theaters this Friday before the premiere of Bandslam. The movie will then debut three months later on November 20.

Love Triangle Highlighted in New Moon Poster

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Romance, Sequels, Upcoming Releases

Ooh Jacob - what new beefy biceps you have…

Two pieces of good news for Twilight fans today. In addition to this glimpse at what New Moon will have to offer (a love triangle!!), a fourth installment of the film has already been confirmed. (Apparently the studio didn’t need to know how the third - or the second - one would do.)

No production start date has yet been announced for Breaking Dawn. In the meantime, Moon will arrive in theaters on November 20 while Eclipse is scheduled for a June 30, 2010 debut.

Check Out New Moon’s Hunky Wolf Pack

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Romance, Sequels, Casting

New Moon‘s cast is steadily filling out…and in a nice way.

USA Today has just revealed the four men - Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Bronson Pelletier - who will comprise the wolf pack Jacob Black belongs to. (Now we know why Taylor Lautner’s role was considered so critical.)

By the way - if you’re thinking that this shirtless picture is nothing more than a publicity stunt, you’d be wrong. The actors, all of Native American descent, will spend their on-screen time this way.

“They went through wolf camp together, and they are in constant training. It paid off as a bonding thing for them and helped them to get to know one another. They drove each other to get more buff,” director Chris Weitz stated.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon unfolds in theaters on November 20.

Taylor Lautner Keeps His New Moon Role

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Sequels, Casting, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases

Taylor Lautner is a perfect example of how beneficial fitness regimes can be.

Although the 16-year-old’s status in New Moon remained questionable just a few weeks ago, word finally came today that Lautner will indeed be in the Twilight sequel. Apparently the extra time he spent at the gym really paid off.

The long-awaited announcement from director Chris Weitz was posted on Stephenie Meyer’s web site.

Twilight’s Taylor Lautner Talks About Possible New Moon Replacement

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Sequels, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Upcoming Releases

UPDATE: Taylor will be keeping his job after all.

If Taylor Lautner’s really at risk of losing his job, the Twilight actor is not going to go down without a fight. Or at least an extra push-up.

In an interview last week with MTV, the 16-year-old addressed rumors that he may be left out of the upcoming sequel. According to a recent report in Entertainment Weekly, the studio was looking to find someone else to tackle Jacob Black’s beefier role in New Moon. Since that time, Michael Copon (Scorpion King 2) and Ben Barnes’ (Prince Caspian) names have been thrown out as possible replacements. (Copon has even gone so far as to imply on his own Facebook page that he was already given the role.)

All the Buzz on the Twilight Sequel

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Sequels, Books, Rumors

Given Twilight‘s spectacular opening weekend, Summit Entertainment’s plans for a sequel came as no surprise. (Even if the news was announced after Day One.) Unfortunately, the studio’s desire to quickly turnaround the followup has forced Catherine Hardwicke to drop out of the project. But should a change of director give fans a reason to be concerned?
