Behind the Scenes ‘New Moon’ Footage Hits the Web

As “New Moon” has gone into post-production, and producers and cast are getting ready to start working on the third installment in “The Twilight Saga,” “Eclipse,” a special video with footage from behind the scenes on the Vancouver set has emerged. The video, brought to fans by Twilight Lexicon, is also included at the end of this article.

However, fans should not get their hopes too high because they’re not going to see in the clip any hints as regards “New Moon” (assuming they haven’t read the book already) or the direction it will take. What they will get though is a glimpse at what goes on on the set of such a popular film before the cameras start rolling, including an insight into how stars Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart get into character before the direction yells “action.”

Speaking of Lautner, the video contains plenty of footage with the young actor, including him shooting the scene fans also got to see in the first official trailer, where Jacob jumps to Bella’s defense and then transforms into a wolf to take down a vampire. Now that this footage has been made available, fans finally get to understand why both Taylor and other actors playing members of the wolf pack were saying that shooting was extremely difficult since they rarely wore a shirt and the weather was just dreadful and cold.

In other “New Moon” related news, Metro Canada got to speak with heartthrob Robert Pattinson on the ever-burning question of how fans will be seeing his Edward in the film. As he said on previous occasions as well, initial speculation that Edward will be getting very limited screen time is unfounded, since he’s actually very present in the story – just not the way we would expect him to, Pattinson tells the publication. Preparing for the part was not at all too hard, the actor further explains.

“I feel very familiar with the character. I’m a ghost, a figment of Bella’s imagination. I’m not really playing Edward. I’m playing a kind of disrupted memory, which is really strange. I’m trying to play him as if Edward’s constantly thinking that things are going to fall apart. It’s this idyllic relationship on the top. I’m very, very close to the surface. He’s so insecure about everything.” Pattinson says for Metro Canada.
