NEW VIDEO: Shirtless Robert Pattinson Films Sexy Scene For New Moon!

Check out the video of the actual shooting of those yummy shirtless reunion scenes in Montepuliano. Rob & Kristen run through the take several times, so that alone makes the sometimes shaky & blurry video worth the watch.

Rob Leaving New Moon Set Yesterday

A very smiley Rob leaving the New Moon set yesterday afternoon. It looks like Italy is agreeing with him; I don't think I've seen him smile this genuinely in public in ages.



And, although his makeup looks MUCH better this time around, I'm still a little freaked out by this:

I'd just like to state for the record how tired I am of Robsten rumors. Give it up, people!

Kristen's Message to the Paparazzi: F-ck You Very Much

Kristen was photographed smoking on a rooftop in Rome with Ashley Greene this afternoon, and apparently had enough of the photographers' intrusion. She had this to say:



I for one don't blame the girl. She gets a bad rap for being ungrateful for her fame, but I see it as her just being uncomfortable with all the attention. She's just as awkward as Rob... just in a more abrasive way. *shrug* Either way, I would not want to live in her shoes right now. Imagine not even being able to relax and have a conversation with a friend without having your picture taken. Very unnerving.

The rest of the photos can be seen here, as well as in this hilarious fan-made video set to Lily Allen's F-ck You Very Much.

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart In Italy
















Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart are about to resume shooting the final scenes in Twilight Saga: New Moon in Italy. It seemed as if they were either playing tourist or just doing some blocking scenes for the final shoot (Not sure because Ashley was not seen). Later they were spotted hanging out with the crew in Italy. There were reports of Rob taking pictures with fans while he out and about yesterday.

New Moon rehersals in Italy

Monday: Rehearsal Day
Thanks to Twitter we found out today was rehersal for the extras (I wish I got that gig!) in Montepulciano adn Robert Pattinson was aready spotted by vampirefreak101.

@vampirefreak101 has sent us (RobPattzNews) this new picture of what's going on today in Montepulciano. In an earlier tweet she broke down the NM filming schedule for the week: "Extras rehearsing today, volturi scenes tues, reunion in square
wed/thurs, any re takes fri". But possibly better describing this picture is the
tweet from @yunfa who is also sending us reports: "production vans outside the
city hall preparing interior scene/s with Volturi (Montepulciano)".

The Filming of New Moon in Italy, from the perspective of an extra

Thanks to Amanda Bell at The Examiner for the tip, we have an tentative play by play of how things are going on the New Moon set in Italy and a possible schedule for this week?? See below for details.

“Engines, moving around, beep beep beeeeeeep.”

Driving calmly, I arrived early at Montepulciano at 5:50am. Everyone was supposed to meet there at 6:15am. Ok, now time for panic: what do I wear? Since I am so prone to bad luck, I had brought 5 tops and 5 pairs of pants - just to be on the safe side. After putting on a pair of jeans and a v-neck shirt (Just like Robert Pattinson!), I found 2 other extras and we all tried to remain calm. After only a couple minutes within arriving, I already had sweaty armpits and smelled bad (Another similarity between me and Robert Pattinson!)

The crew was very quick and organized, and divided all the extras into groups: “the drivers”, “the reds”, and “the blacks”. We felt like the prey of the production company. They then offered us breakfast, which I was grateful for since my stomach was complaining more than Rosalie. Me and all the other drivers (there were about a hundred of us), were then told to park in the front of the main entrance of the town, where a yellow Porsche was also parked! My God, what a beautiful car! The rest of the extras were taken inside the city wall, where they would be shooting the reunion between Edward and Bella later in the week.


The wait was unnerving. And extremely long. In the meantime, we learned the shooting schedule: Monday is rehearsals, Tuesday inside the city again, Wednesday and Thursday in the city square (Where there is expected to be 1000 extras), and Friday was for any needed reshoots. While I was waiting, I saw a really pretty girl with brown hair in jeans and t-shirt. For a second I thought it was Kristen Stewart, but then I realized it was her stunt double. The similarities between the two was striking, especially from behind.

At around 10pm, it’s our turn. When arrived in front of the door, Chris Weitz’s assistant, Bill, arranged the order of all the cars. Every time he looked at me and my car, he smiled. They then began tests with the Porsche, with Bella’s and Alice’s stunt doubles. And here’s the funny part: Alice had a stunt MAN, instead of a woman. He was wearing a headscarf, sunglasses, a red leather glove and a long grey coat with big silver buttons. Bella’s stunt double, instead, was dressed very simply, wearing only a green sweater and jeans.




The tests of the Porsche were seemingly never-ending, they really wanted it to be perfect. They did not overlook even the smallest detail: everything -from the placement of the car to all the car sounds- had to be just right. They even were overly careful with all the red flags placed around Montepulciano. The crew was sweaty and shouting us to get in our places, to which we obliged. Bill (Weitz’s assistant) was always calm and smiling, every once in a while stopping to talk to us on set.

A small note on the side: Bill told us that we could not reveal the details of what we saw to the public before the release of the film. Therefore, for my love of the Twilight saga and respect of the crews’ hard work, I am going to make this report as general as possible. I hope you understand, and I am sorry that I can not go into that much detail.

They then told all the drivers to move closer to the gates of the city, only to make us wait again. From my new position, I was able to have a look inside the city walls. It is very attractive. The red drapes and flags went well with the grey of the building’s walls. When I saw the fountain -which was not yet finished- I was a little disappointed, since I pictured it more ancient looking. However, my fears were placed to rest as I saw a girl coming to spray paint it to give it that “antique” look. They also added more flags, most -if not all- of them being red.

To end, I leave you all with two small goodies: In the square on Wednesday, it seems like some sort of procession will be taking place. It is said that about 20 people will be dressed like duchesses and squires (all outfits being red, of course) wearing Venetian carnival masks.

There will also be a canopy/gazebo (specially built for the movie) which is to represent the liberation of Volterra from vampires by St. Mark. (Note: the canopy may be constructed of the supposed Volturi throne pictures that were leaked earlier in the week)

We finished shooting in late afternoon and got a thank you from Chris Weitz’s right-hand man, Bill. He said to us: “Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work today!” We all erupted into applause, we were so tired, but so happy!

Rob Has Landed!

Rob is preparing to provoke the Volturi! Twilighters Italia, who brought us the great pictures of Alice's Porsche, is reporting that Rob arrived in Italy this morning after his whirlwind week in Cannes. No pictures yet, but rest assured the Sisterhood is on the lookout for them! Ashley and Kristen are expected to arrive this weekend.

Our Italian counterparts are also reporting that the crew just finished constructing the fountain and it looks gorgeous!

Alice's Yellow Porsche Spotted in Italy!

The Italian Twilighters were checking out the New Moon set in Montepulciano this afternoon, and discovered Alice's yellow Porsche doing what we presume are test runs!



From what we can gather from the translation, it looks like the stuntman was wearing a wig to look like Alice and long red gloves up to his elbows.

You can view a video of the Porsche in action on their website.

They also report that there was a helicopter flying low around the city, but as the fountain has not yet been completed they are assuming that they are filming for the special features on the DVD.

Very exciting to see the Italy scenes take shape!

Robert Pattinson's Body Double?

Rob's body double has been cast in Italy. Wait? Does that mean we're not going see Rob's chest at the Palazzo dei Priori? Nooooooooo!!!! That makes me very sad. ;o( Well, anyway, what can ya do? Okay, so the River, an Italian blog, is reporting that Alan Cappelli has been asked to be on the set of New Moon in Montepulciano from May 21-29. Apparently, they will be coloring his hair and waxing his chest for that "Edward" look. Wow, he is a lucky man.

Thanks to Pillow Biter for the tip and be sure to check out the video she has of him over there.
