***** EDIT MARCH 9, 2009: Dakota Fanning as Jane has been CONFIRMED! *****

As for other new moon movie updates, there seem to be nothing new that is substantial or confirmed yet, but I will be keeping you updated. I do have this inkling though that Dakota Fanning is this close to getting the Jane role, because of these two youtube videos:

1) her interview


2) she was spotted with Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz at her "Push" premier.


***** EDIT MARCH 9, 2009: Dakota Fanning as Jane has been CONFIRMED! *****

According to the IMDB site, the New Moon Movie will be released by November 20, 2009.

Taylor Lautner to be replaced by Michael Copon in the Role of Jacob Black!?

Rumors say that due to height issues, Michael Copon will be hired in place of Taylor Lautner as Bella's werewolf best friend, Jacob Black. Stepheniemeyer.com has banished all such rumors in her site and I quote her:

Good news about New Moon from director Chris Weitz:

I'm very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in New Moon and that he's doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer.

So Taylor Lautner fans can release that breath they've been holding for a while :)

Personally, I'm glad Taylor Lautner is keeping the role. It's never good to see actors being changed along the way. It disrupts the continuity of the series. Also, Michael Copon is way older than the rest of the cast (born on 1982). If they had wanted to change Taylor, they should pick Steven Strait instead (born on 1986 + way way hotter than Copon) ;)

Twilight Book 5! Midnight Sun

Okay, I have to apologize. When I posted the previous article, I had absolutely no idea that a book 5 was actually already in the works. It turns out that Stephenie was indeed writing book 5, which she entitled Midnight Sun. The book focuses on Twilight as told by Edward. Notice that I write this in past tense. This is because she has decided to postpone writing this book indefinitely. Why? Someone leaked out part of it to the Internet, leaving a distraught Stephenie Meyer to lose interest in continuing.

If you want to read the draft of book 5, she has graciously uploaded it on to her website. Click here for Twilight Book 5 - Midnight Sun. It's too bad really, since I think the book would have been a big hit. It has a lot of potential, and since it's from Edward's POV, I bet it is going to be a more profound read compared to Bella's POV.

I'm off to reading the draft and will come back for my thoughts :)

************* UPDATE: MAY 20, 2009 *************

Is it just me or did Stephenie Meyer just place the Midnight Sun playlist on her site just a few weeks ago? I don't recall seeing the Playlist section before, did you? If that is the case then I have higher hopes that Stephenie will indeed finish Twilight Book 5 Midnight Sun! Perhaps she's trying to relive her Twilight muse by posting that? ;)

Also, check out this line she said at the playlist page!

First Twilight movie scene complete!

If you're anxiously waiting for the Twilight movie, the first scene is finally out! It features the ballet studio climax, with Bella, Edward, and James.



Pretty suspenseful. I'm hoping the other scenes are just as intense :) Sadly, we don't see much acting yet in this scene, so I can't wait for the next scene to come up. What scene will you like to see next? I think I want to see the first time Edward and Bella meet, I wanna see how well Edward acts it out :)
