Twilight fans grab your life-size Robert Pattinson stuffed doll, call all of your friends, gather around your computer monitors and giggle together in anticipation because Screen Rant has got some skin-tingling news for you. Last week MTV showed its first ever Halloween special, Ulalume: Howling at the New Moon. During the show, MTV showed an exclusive clip from the upcoming Twilight sequel New Moon and in case you missed it (if you are a Twilight fan, then I seriously doubt you missed it) you can watch the clip over at MTV or just check it out after the jump.

All the popular kids were on hand to debut the new clip, including every girl’s (and a few oddball boy’s) favorite brooding teenage vampire hunk, Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen). Oh yeah, in case you care, Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan) and Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black) were there too. But seriously, did you see the dreamy, pale-skinned, red-eyed Edward? That man just exudes sexy, in an “I want to drink your blood” type of way.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon promotional train just keeps on steamrolling along with news/details of an upcoming mall tour, as well as two new TV spots and a clip.

You’re probably in one of two camps with regards to this Twilight sequel: either you couldn’t give a crap about anything Twilight related, or you are fully on-board and you welcome the avalanche of promo materials. If you’re the former, please bear with us; If you’re the latter, here’s our latest Twilight treat for you!

This past Saturday, October 17th, I attended my second year of Spike TV’s annual Scream Awards. Not only did I attend, but I had been hand-picked by the casting director to sit front row center for the show! As a fan-focused awards show, it’s much more enjoyable being seated amongst JJ Abrams, Karl Urban, Elijah Wood and Woody Harrelson. My favorite personal surprise of the evening came when the Best Science Fiction Actress nominees were being announced. I cheered (maybe a little too loudly for my girlfriend’s tastes) for Eliza Dushku when her name was announced, only to discover she was sitting right in front of me. She turned around and flashed me her lovely smile. Good thing my girlfriend isn’t the overly-jealous type.

As for the show itself, it seems as though the winners have already been leaked online, and the best surprises have been revealed, even on Spike’s own website. So keep in mind there be spoilers here.

[Update: We now have a hi-res New Moon clip to share]

New footage from The Twilight Saga: New Moon debuted this weekend at the 2009 Spike TV Scream Awards, and, of course, made its way online shortly thereafter.

The new footage is a pretty lame quick-glimpse of The Wolf Pack that main character (and shirtless muscle boy) Jacob (Taylor Lautner) belongs to. Jacob of course plays a much more central role in New Moon as the boy-creature who Bella (Kristen Stewart) begins to fall for after her boy-creature-lover, Edward (Robert Pattinson), breaks up with her (sob).

Happy Friday everyone! For the second Friday of October 2009, we’ve again gathered the latest posters to come out for this week’s poster round-up.

Screen Rant’s wall this week now includes new one-sheets for Toy Story 3, The Lovely Bones, Drive Angry, Ninja, Ong Bak 3, The Missing Person, The Princess and the Frog, The Box, Boondock Saints 2, New Moon and Pirate Radio.

In addition to that we have two bonus images from a cool looking period action film, titled Centurion.

Let’s get to it.

Today we have a treat for all you Twilighters out there:two new character posters for The Twilight Saga: New Moon showcasing franchise sweethearts Bella and Edward, along with a slew of new images from the movie. They (and subsequently we) do love to shower fans of the franchise with a plethora of teasers, don’t they?

New Moon picks up sometime after the events of Twilight, when Bella (Kristen Stewart) becomes devastated after her vampire love, Edward (Robert Pattinson), abruptly leaves. Thankfully Bella has the arms of the “irresistible” Jacob (Taylor Lautner) to fall into and she soon, “finds herself drawn into the world of the werewolves, the ancestral enemies of the vampires, and finds her loyalties tested.”

Happy Friday everyone! For our first Friday of October 2009, we’ve again gathered the latest posters to come out for this week’s poster round-up.

Screen Rant’s wall this week now includes new one-sheets for The Princess and the Frog, Caprica, The Crazies, The Mechanic, Stone, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, Saw VI, The Twilight Saga’s New Moon and Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant.

In addition to that we have two bonus posters from two major upcoming films that you need to check out! Also, there’s some very creative road sign parody posters of classic films, as well as some older and strange looking posters from Ghana.

Let’s get to it.

We usually wait until Friday to hit you guys with the latest movie posters from around the web, but for you Twilighters out there, we thought you’d want to see the three latest posters from The Twilight Saga: New Moon as soon after they’ve appeared online as possible (you’re welcome!).

The three new posters showcase three different sets of characters: the first is of the main bunch, which include Bella, Edward and the rest of the Cullen family; the second is of, “the wolf pack,” which features Bella’s new love interest, Jacob Black; and the third is of the new band of vampires introduced in the Twilight sequel, called the Volturi, which include Michael Sheen’s “Aro” and Dakota Fanning’s “Jane.”

The final trailer for The Twilight Saga: New Moon debuted last night during the MTV Video Music Awards and managed to accomplish two things:

1. Demonstrate that director Chris Weitz has achieved something much more visually sophisticated than Catherine Hardwicke’s Twilight adaptation.
2. Finally show us something other than schmaltzy, awkward, shirtless, teen romance.

So, without further ado, I’d like to present you Twilight Saga fans with the best trailer that I’VE seen so far for New Moon.

Happy Friday everyone! Today we have gathered the latest posters to come out for this week’s poster round-up.

Screen Rant’s wall this week now includes one-sheets for The Box, Pandorum, Growl, Takers, Red Cliff, The Shrine, District 9 and Michael Jackson’s This is It.

In addition to those, we also have four great character banners for Where the Wild Things Are and and as a bonus, a photo for The Twilight Saga’s New Moon.

Let’s get to it…

As the days become shorter, and the nights become cooler, there is one thing on the horizon that all of us are quickly becoming aware of – the arrival of a slew of exciting 2009 Fall Movies. What’s always been great about this time of year is that it’s not just about “horror films” or movies that are made to touch the holiday hearts that burgeon each year as turkey, Santa and New Year’s Eve stretch into the new year and beyond.

The menu is varied, wide open and we hope – satisfying. While we couldn’t list them all, please join us as we quickly chronicle what lies ahead in Screen Rant’s 2009 Fall Movie Preview!

Alright all you Twilighters out there, for those of you who are already preparing your trip to the movie theater to see The Twilight Saga: New Moon this November, you can now do so safe in the knowledge that you’re guaranteed a seat. Tickets for the midnight screenings of New Moon have now gone on sale more than two and half months in advance.

Carmike Cinemas are offering tickets for midnight showings of New Moon on November 19th, at 63 of their 247 theaters. This “early sell” campaign is happening much in the same vein as the (WAY) advanced sale of tickets for James Cameron’s Avatar. Early word is that the Avatar pre-sales are being described as “healthy.”

[Update: Regal Cinemas has added 348 locations, see updated list below]

[Update: We now have more pics of the Volturi to share!]

All right you twi-hards (I know you’re out there), we’ve got some great news for you. Not only has the final cast list for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse been confirmed, but we’ve rounded up some new pictures of the malevolent Volturi from The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Let’s start with Eclipse.

To accompany stalwart Twilight veterans Robert Pattinson (playing Edward Cullen) and Kristen Stewart (playing Bella Swan), Eclipse has added a number of new actors to its mix. Among the newbies are Xavier Samuel as Riley, Catalina Sandino Moreno as Maria, Jack Huston as Royce King, Julia Jones as Leah, BooBoo Stewart as Seth, and Jodelle Ferland as Bree. Bryce Dallas Howard will also be joining the cast as Victoria, controversially replacing actress Rachelle Lafevre. Eclipse was written by screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and is being directed by David Slade.

We told you over the weekend that it was coming and now, after those frustrating bootlegged French versions and previews-of-a-preview, here is the OFFICIAL full trailer for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, in all its shirtless glory!

Of course, you Twilight fans almost certainly knew this was coming, but since it’s now obvious that you didn’t fall for the trick indulge the opportunity of seeing Bandslam this weekend for an early look at the New Moon trailer, we’re happy to provide it for you here.

And I personally promise not to complement the film, or give any opinion at all about it, for that matter. I don’t want to have to once again face the angry and unruly comments of the Twilight Saga gang…

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you Twilight Saga fans out there that the full trailer for New Moon is going to be debuting this Friday before Summit Entertainment’s Bandslam movie. Well, the French jumped the gun recently and leaked the latest cut of their New Moon trailer online. Over here in the U.S., meanwhile, a 17-second preview of the latest New Moon trailer (preview-of-a-preview I’m calling it) has been put out to help wet appetites around the world.

Both the French trailer and preview-of-a-preview trailer show a lot more of awkward Bella (Kristen Stewart) and ab-ripped Jacob (Taylor Lautner) getting hot and steamy, and there is even some quick shots of good old Edward (R. Patt) and Dakota Fanning as the vampire Jane.

Check them out:

As we’ve remarked innumerable times here at Screen Rant, Hollywood is ruled by money. So, it was no surprise when we found out via Film School Rejects that Summit Entertainment has tacked the first full-length trailer for The Twilight Saga: New Moon to their upcoming film, Bandslam. Hey, if you own a franchise worth hundreds of millions of dollars, you should milk that thing for every penny its worth, even if it means simply rubbing it against all of your other films.

The Twilight Saga has become an almost sacred entity for fans of the books and films alike – a cherished series that has inspired an almost rabid level of devotion, as evidenced at this year’s Comic-Con Twilight panel, which fans slept on the street overnight just to witness.

That all said, I can’t imagine the level of outcry there is going to be now that Twilight Saga creator Stephenie Meyer is being accused of plagiarizing scenes of her fourth and final entry in the series, Breaking Dawn.

Here are the facts: Yesterday news gossip website TMZ broke a story claiming that Stephenie Meyer’s publisher, Hachette, had received a cease and desist letter from the lawyers of  a 21-year-old musician/author named Jordan Scott, who claims that scenes of Breaking Dawn bear too many similarities to her own book, The Nocturne, which was supposedly published in 2006 – two years prior to Breaking Dawn. You don’t have to be a math whiz to figure out that Scott would’ve been in the 15-16 age range at the time she allegedly wrote the book.

Comic-Con seems like old news (even though it only ended a week ago), but as a final note we thought we’d show you what you guys ended up picking as the hottest things to come out of the 4 day event. There was certainly a lot of competition for fan attention, but as usual there are always a few things that end up grabbing the limelight.

We ran a poll asking you to pick what you thought were the three hottest things to come out of this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Now the total numbers add up to more than 100% because with so much to choose from we allowed people to pick their top 3 items.

Results after the jump.

Summit Entertainment’s panel this morning has been the talk of the convention amongst bloggers, Twilight fans and especially Twilight non-fans.

The movie has a very strong fanbase, so much so that there were literally hundreds of Twilighters camped out from the night before to guarantee access and the best seating in Hall H on the opening day of San Diego Comic-Con.

If you like (and I mean really like) Edward and Jacob, this panel was definitely for you.

Harry Potter fans are offiicailly saying to Twilight lovers, “Screw you guys, WE are the greatest fanboy nation!”

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is selling advanced tickets like crazy all across the country. The sixth installment of J.K. Rowling’s popular books-cum-movies is on track to knock Twilight out of of the no. 3 spot on Fandango’s list of all-time highest advanced ticket sales, settling in behind Stars Wars Epidsode III and The Dark Knight.

Advanced tickets for Half-Blood Prince have already outsold last month’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which (we all know) went on to earn serious bank at the box office. Things are look good so far for Harry and Warner Bros.

With New Moon wrapping up production and its rushed release set for this November and with Eclipse beginning production next month, which will open next summer, AND with Breaking Dawn coming quickly after that, what happens next?

The four (finished) books of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga will have all been translated to the big screen. All will be rushed out within the next two years with nothing left to go on. That is of course, assuming Meyer doesn’t hurry up and finish that fifth book, Midnight Sun, which she stopped working on after an incomplete draft of it leaked online.

This week:

Revenge of The Fallen meets Dawn of the Dinosaurs; it’ll take 6 years to see the last Airbender; Adams looks on as Batman fights Marky Mark; George Clooney leaves Warner Bros; The Green Hornet is delayed and Tony Scott, Denzel Washington and Chris Pine are stoppable.

You might remember a post written by Screen Rant guru Vic Holtreman back in February, which begged the question “Just How Fast CAN They Make a Twilight Movie?” in reference to the news that The Twilight Saga: New Moon was going to be released just one year after Twilight, with the third film in the franchise, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, aiming for a release date just SEVEN MONTHS after New Moon!

Well, today we have an official answer to Vic’s question: almost faster than you could write that post, Holtreman.

To wet the appetites of you Twilight fans out there (more than we already have), we have New Moon star Michael Sheen talking about his role as head vampire Aro, as well as a behind-the-scenes video from the set of The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Empire got a chance to have a chat with Sheen about his role in New Moon – playing the head of an ancient vampire coven known as the Volturi, who are basically vampire royalty.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon has been gearing up its marketing heavily these past few weeks, centering on having a major presence at this weekend’s MTV Movie Awards where Twilight dominated the awards and revealed the first official full-length New Moon trailer.

In addition to the trailer, the previous two weeks gave us the first images from New Moon as well as a series of set photos. Today, we have three brand new high-quality photos for your viewing pleasure.

Check them out and see what you think:

Maybe I’m just out of touch with today’s youth culture, but as I look over this “winners list” from the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, I can’t help but feel like a crotchety old man who complains about the kids today with their loud music and funny ways of talking. The Twilight Saga wiped the floor with the competition, proving that vampire romance is the current king of pop culture, for better or worse.

In the interest of fairness, Screen Rant presents the complete list of winners from the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. Be wary, though: your head may explode as you read which actors and films lost to Twilight.

OK Twilight fans, thanks to MTV here’s the first official New Moon trailer. Enjoy, revel in it, have a party.

Let us know what you think.

Talk about an odd couple: could you imagine 30 Days of Night writer Steve Niles ever sitting down to make nice with Stephenie Meyer, author of The Twilight Saga???

Well, apparently that scenario isn’t just my own skewed version of What The-?!; in a recent interview with MTV News, Niles talked about how his insatiably hungry vampires from the 30 Days of Night graphic novel stacked up against Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and the rest of The Cullen Family vamps from The Twilight Saga. Shockingly enough (at least to me), Niles had nothing but good things to say about Twilight:

It seems that a day can’t go by without there being a new piece of Twilight news, images or posters being released. But I’m pretty sure avid fans of the series won’t mind!

Last week we reported on the first official images from The Twilight Saga: New Moon, one of which I’m sure those female fans out there appreciated very much, as it showed heartthrob Roberrt Pattinson on the verge of locking lips with Kristin Stewart.

Today we have a slew of new set images for New Moon. They are not official images released by the studio as the previous two were, but nonetheless I’m sure they’re interesting for fans of the series. We’ve chosen 12 of the staggering 60-plus thre are in total – check them out below:

It’s been a busy month of Twilighters, with Robert Pattinson confirming the fourth Twilight movie, Breaking Dawn and New Moon entering its first full month of production.

In addition to the fan made posters for the movie and the first official poster that debuted earlier in May, today we have some official photos for the film that came from an Entertainment Weekly exclusive.
