'New Moon' Premiere Is All About 'Passionate' Fans, Stars Say
'We all know the premiere for 'Twilight' was insane, but this is multiplied by 10,' Taylor Lautner marvels on L.A. red carpet.
It's all about you...
LOS ANGELES — A year ago at this time, people were finally comprehending the scope of "Twilight" mania. Rob and Kristen were treated like rock stars, thousands of fans were eager to share their "little secret" with the world, and a tiny Taylor Lautner enthusiastically posed with fans, simply hoping they'd want him back for more.
On Monday evening (November 16), "New Moon" mania took over at the film's red-carpet premiere. And like Taylor's presence in the sequel, it's bigger, better and far more muscular.
"It's amazing," marveled the 17-year-old Lautner, who was famously nearly replaced as Jacob Black last winter but packed on 30 pounds of muscle to keep the role. "We all know the premiere for 'Twilight' was insane, but this is multiplied by 10. I did not expect this at all!"
With thousands of Twilighters — many of whom began lining up last week — packing the sidewalks, the shrieks roared like airplanes buzzing the Los Angeles neighborhood of Westwood. Everyone from 50 Cent to Kevin Smith to Death Cab for Cutie and Emma Roberts came out to get an early glimpse at one of the year's most anticipated films. Also crowding the carpet was an epic cast now containing several dozen regulars when you factor in all the Cullens, Volturi, wolf pack, humans and other factions. But in the eyes of Kristen Stewart, the evening was really a celebration of the actor fans affectionately call "Taycob."
"I'm so proud of that kid," Stewart said of Lautner. "Everybody thinks we have a sister/ little brother dynamic going on, and I definitely fought for him. I was totally on his side the entire time. But he's taught me more than I've ever been able to bestow on him. I think he's the most centered of everybody here. And I think the only reason he was able to put on that weight is because he had the confidence to know what he was doing. But it wasn't about the weight; it was about knowing we had the right guy."
As fans leaned over barricades wearing "Nutz for Lutz" T-shirts and waving "Bite Me, Edward" signs, there was little doubt that in the eyes of these fans, all the actors are just right — particularly Mr. Robert Pattinson, who once again received a reception like all the Beatles rolled into one wild-haired British heartthrob.
"It's gotten bigger," he grinned, looking around at the fans. "I think so. Especially as we travel all over the entire world. We had 20,000 people in Munich yesterday. It's kind of incredible, to have done all these cities in a week, and it's still just as intense everywhere."
On Monday, the actors were able to walk the carpet (alongside Stephenie Meyer herself, making a rare public appearance) and see their intensity in the movies matched once again by the fans. And for them, the cheers were as sweet as blood on the tip of a vampire's tongue.
"This year is probably double in size," observed Kellan Lutz, comparing the premiere to the one from a year ago. "For us, as actors, [seeing this] is a weight off our shoulders. It's a lot of fun, and this year I'm not so nervous."
"My goodness, I just pulled up, and I got so nervous again," Ashley Greene laughed. "People always ask if I'm used to it, but there's no way to get used to it, because they just keep getting more and more exciting. [The fans] are very passionate, and it keeps getting bigger. It's incredible."
As they waved goodbye to the fans and headed inside to watch Bella and Jacob get close on the big screen, Kristen and Taylor were similarly in awe.
"I really think Bella is awesome, and I get to play her," smiled Stewart, counting herself lucky. "And I get to share that with everyone here. And I'll never get that experience again, no matter what kind of movies I want to make."
"We put a lot of hard work into this film," Lautner said of "New Moon." "I'm dying for it to come out."
Because I love Jackson!
PFach you Rock!
Cute Kid!

New Moon Premiere
LOS ANGELES — Exactly 12 months ago, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were surprised to be greeted by throngs of eager fans of the novel “Twilight” at the premiere of the big-screen adaptation.
What a difference a year makes.
The actors unveiled the sequel — “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” — at the same location Monday night in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. But this time they knew what was coming.
“I’m not as scared as I was last year,” said Stewart, despite a brief touch-and-go moment as she signed autographs. “At some point, the security guy said, ‘This is very unsafe.’ And I was like, ‘Uh.’ Other than that, everything was cool.”
Pattinson, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in this latest adaptation of author Stephenie Meyer’s popular series, said this year’s crowd of thousands of screaming fans was larger than the 2008 turnout.
“And it seems different to me because we have done this world tour in the last week and it has just been unbelievable in every single city,” he said. “It is about 10 times bigger than any other city in the world.”
Some “twi-hards” __ as they call themselves __ arrived as early as Thursday afternoon to secure a place in line for tickets allowing them to watch the stars’ arrivals on the red carpet. The 800 available tickets were all distributed by Monday morning, but the line still stretched for blocks well after lunchtime.
Nicole Zamora, 36, was sixth in line after getting to Westwood on Thursday afternoon. She and her three sisters wore “New Moon” T-shirts they’d made for the occasion and said they spent the weekend “reading, listening to the iPod and trying to sleep — anything to pass the time.”
Christina Fuentes and four of her friends traveled from New Jersey for the “New Moon” premiere. The 24-year-old wore vampire teeth (“They just clip on,” she said) and carried a homemade sign that read, “We flew in from NJ! We’ve been camping out for three days just to see you!” She pasted her airline boarding pass to the poster as proof.
Scores of other fans — mostly young women — crowded onto street corners near the Mann Village and Bruin theaters, site of the premiere. They sat on beach chairs, displayed homemade signs and wore T-shirts proclaiming their allegiance to either the handsome vampire played by Pattinson or his werewolf rival, Taylor Lautner.
Lautner, who rises to headliner status in “New Moon,” said he was also amazed by Monday’s fan response.
