“NEW MOON” DVD CLIPS INCLUDE NEVER-SEEN-BEFORE FOOTAGE

MTV.com recently posted a video with three clips of never-seen-before footage about the filming of “New Moon”.  The first clip discusses some of the changes between the first and second films including Bella’s look and Charlie’s house.  The second clip features Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, and Chris Weitz talking about how Jacob puts Bella back together and the dynamic of their relationship.  The third clip is a behind-the-scenes featurette of the scene in which Jacob first phases on screen with Taylor Lautner doing his own stunt with the wires and harness.

Taylor Lautner says it’s “kind of embarrassing” that people make such a fuss about his body.

The 18-year-old actor — who goes shirtless in several scenes in the Twilight movies — will be bare-chested in his new action flick, Abduction.

In the script, obtained by America’s Life & Style magazine, Taylor’s character, Nathan, undresses so his love interest, Karen, can remove shards of glass from his skin after he’s wounded in an explosion.

“It’s weird,” Taylor has said of all the adulation. “It’s kind of embarrassing.”

JACKSON RATHBONE TO PLAY MAN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY IN “TRUCKSTOP”

from cinematical.com:

Once again, you’ve got to hand it to most of the Twilight stars. Taylor Lautner might be doing everything he can to become the next Tom Cruise (without the couch hopping, we hope), but the rest are filling their non-Twilight time with a whole range of indie projects — and Jackson Rathbone’s is surely the most challenging to date. Variety reports that he will star in an indie drama called Truckstop with Jennifer Lawrence.

Written by Tony Aloupis (with revisions by Steve Grabowsky and director Rotimi Rainwater), the indie focuses on a man with cerebral palsy who works at a truck stop while caring for his dying father. There, he befriends “a troubled young prostitute,” because in the land of movies, almost any woman, especially one at a truck stop, has to be a prostitute.

So, do you have any plans to try to audition for “Breaking Dawn”?  I know that we have a lot of actors and actresses who follow our blog.  Let us know if you plan to audition.  We’d love to hear about your experience!

The behind-the-scenes footage from “New Moon” is so cool!  I cannot wait to get my DVD this weekend so that I can watch all of it.  I hadn’t realized that Bella didn’t have a bay window in the first film.

As for Taylor Lautner being embarrassed by all of the attention directed toward his naked torso, I can’t say that I blame him.  He was only 17 years old when they shot the movie and it hit theaters.  I would probably have been more than a bit creeped out by a bunch of 30+ year-old people freaking out out over a part of my body when I was that age.

Jackson Rathbone’s next project sound interesting…definitely has an indie feel to it from the description.  We’ll have to keep a look out for more about that project and we’ll keep you posted.
