J-14 Exclusive Interview: Taylor Lautner Dishes About Kristen Stewart

J-14: Who did you bond the most with during the filming of The Twilight Saga movies?

Taylor Lautner: The most is pretty hard. I really bonded with Nikki Reed. I spend a lot of time with Nikki and Kristen.

J-14: What's it like working with Kristen so closely?

Taylor: Kristen's a great girl. A lot of fun to be around. She's such a talented actress. It's awesome to be acting opposite of someone like that. She's amazing. It's a lot of fun!

The J-14 New Moon Countdown continues!

For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special, we talked with Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black, about what his day of filming usually looks -- and tastes -- like!

-------------------------------------

J-14 exclusive interview with Taylor Lautner about filming

J-14: We know you're not a big fan of the wig you had to wear for Jacob! Were you excited you got to lose it for part of New Moon?

Taylor Lautner: Absolutely. When I found out I was wearing a wig I was like, "oh cool. I've never done this before!" And in the end I was just itching my head the whole time! The worst was in this one Twilight scene when I wore a beanie over top of it and it made it 100 times worse. So I'd try to negotiate with them not to wear beanies anymore.

J-14: What is a day on set like for you guys?

Taylor: We get out of hair and makeup and start filming, get a little half hour break for lunch, film again. We usually finish around 5:30 or 6 and then go to dinner. They have great food, so we always go out to really nice restaurants -- it is a lot of fun! In our down time there... we eat!

J-14: What is your favorite thing to eat from craft services when you're on set?

Taylor: I'm a really a big meat and cheese guy, so I won't make the sandwich. I'll just grab the meat and cheese and eat it straight out of there!

The J-14 New Moon Countdown continues!

For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special, we chatted with Jackson Rathbone, who plays Jasper Cullen, about what it's really like on set when it comes to vampires vs. werewolves.

-------------------------------------

J-14 exclusive interview with Jackson Rathbone on Vampires Vs. Werewolves

J-14: Going from Twilight to New Moon, there's definitely a shift in focus from vampires to werewolves. How did that effect the chemistry on the set -- do you feel like you had to take a backseat?

Jackson Rathbone: Not really. It was one of those things when we came back for New Moon, it was like a family reunion because we are like a family. We do eat together, play together, and what not. It was kind of like we came back in for a good two or three weeks, we did our piece and then we left and then the story really got taken over by Taylor Lautner playing Jacob Black -- and he just does an incredible job.

J-14: So it has a totally different focus than Twilight?

Jackson: It's one of those things where you think losing Robert Pattinson for a lot of the movie would kind of be like a down turn but you basically get another, equally inspired, and equally riveting male star in Jacob Black. It's one of those things where Bella is devastated by the departure of her vampire love but you know she gets her spirit rekindled by her growing friendship and her growing love in her and Jacob.

For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special -- we had Taylor Lautner spill why he's meant to be Jacob Black...

-------------------------------------

J-14 exclusive interview with Taylor Lautner about why he's born to be Jacob Black:

J-14: What was it about the role of Jacob that drew you to him?

Taylor Lautner: I guess the fact that I'm a lot like him. When Jacob's human, he's really friendly and outgoing and talkative, but his other side -- his werewolf side -- he's very fierce and grumpy... and that's totally opposite of me. It's fun to play somebody who's just like me, but then it's cool as an actor to challenge myself to play something totally opposite of me!

J-14: You enjoy that contrast and balance?

Taylor:Yeah and Jacob is both of that, so that's pretty cool.

Death Cab for Cutie's "Meet Me on the Equinox" is the first single off of The Twilight Saga: New Moon soundtrack... and the band was invited to watch an early cut of the movie (lucky guys!) that was FIVE HOURS long!

"It didn't have any effects or Foley or music or anything in it," Death Cab guitarist Chris Walla said. "And we couldn't make the schedule work, because it was five hours long,"We haven't seen anything more than anyone else has seen. We've seen the trailer, and that's really about it!"

What do you think about a five-hour version of New Moon?! Would you be able to see through 300 minutes of Edward Cullen and Jacob Black?

Twilight fans beware -- Victoria might have the power of evasion... but she'll have a totally different look in the third installment of the film, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which begins filming in Vancouver next month.

Summit Entertainment just confirmed to J-14 minutes ago that Rachelle Lefevre will NOT be returning to film the third chapter of the film series.

Instead, the Golden Globe-nominated star of Terminator Salvation and Spider-Man 3, Bryce Dallas Howard, will take over the role. Rachelle was unable to continue the role due to scheduling conflicts with another commitment.

The character of Victoria is more prominent in Eclipse, as she creates an army of newborn vampires that the Cullens must take down.

The official description of the movie reads: "In The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob - knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life."

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will open in theaters on June 30, 2010.

There's still four more months until The Twilight Saga: New Moon hits theaters... but we can't stop staring at these photos from the movie!

Getting anxious about the countdown to The Twilight Saga: New Moon on November 20? (136 days to go... not that we're counting or anything ;) ). If you want to cut your wait short by two days... go to France!

Yup, the Twilight sequel is opening in France on November 18 -- that's two days earlier than in the United States. Not just that, the movies and book series have different French titles. Twilight = Fascination, New Moon = Tentation, Eclipse = Hésitation, Breaking Dawn = Révélation (Even if you don't speak French, kinda makes sense, huh?).

Either way, you've got to see Bella Swan and Edward Cullen en francais... check out this trailer of New Moon dubbed in French, complete with the earlier release date.

Of course we're not suggesting any Twihards buy a plane ticket to Paris, BUT we do want to know... what's the craziest thing you'd do to see New Moon earlier?

J-14, on stands now!

J-14 caught up with Another Cinderella Story star Drew Seeley who is currently playing Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid on Broadway through August 30.

He chatted with us about his opening night, working with Selena Gomez, and which High School Musical cast members he still keeps in touch with (remember, he went on tour with the HSM crew as Troy Bolton!).

J-14: How did you land the role of Prince Eric?
Drew: I've been working with Disney for a number of years, but I've never worked with them on Broadway. When the opportunity to audition came up, I came right to New York, I auditioned and met the whole creative team. Then about two weeks later I got a call and they said, "Yeah! Let's do it!"

J-14: What was opening night of The Little Mermaid like?
Drew: It couldn't have been more perfect. My parents, my drama teacher from high school, and a lot of my best friends were there. Everybody came out to support me. The cast made me feel welcome right away and everybody has been awesome. It's going to be a great summer -- I'm really excited!

J-14: We hear there was a huge crowd of fans waiting for you when you left the stage door -- what was that like?
Drew: It was crazy! I was like, "Are the Jonas Brothers here? What's going on?" It was great!

J-14: Selena Gomez said that you were her favorite co-star of all time. What was it like working with her in Another Cinderella Story?
Drew: She's such a sweetheart and always a professional. It was funny when we first started working together because she had experience being on set from Wizards of Waverly Place and I had experience with music, so we helped each other out a lot. We learned a lot from each other and we still keep in touch.

J-14: Is there anyone that you still keep in touch with from High School Musical?
Drew: I still talk to Corbin [Bleu] and his band all the time -- those guys are really good friends of mine. And a few weeks ago I shot a few webisodes with Lucas [Grabeel] for a series that's called, I Kissed a Vampire. We both play vampires, but that's all I can say about it. It's going to be released over the summer.

J-14: Speaking of vampires, are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?
Drew: I'm Team Bella -- she's cute!

Taylor Lautner is making Twilight fans a promise -- The Twilight Saga: New Moon is definitely going to one-up the original Twilight. In this Access Hollywood interview, he reveals, "The fans need to know that New Moon is going to be stepped up a whole other notch -- and I can guarantee you that!"

And what does Kristen Stewart have to say about working with Taylor more in the sequel? "I love Taylor -- he's my friend," she says. "It's so weird to talk in interviews about your friends. But he's stepped up in a way that I think out of anybody that has anything to do with this movie is the most impressive transformation, which is funny because he's supposed to undergo a transformation in the movie anyway -- but he did it in his real life. And it's so cool to see that."

Twilight is in the past now -- and it's all about New Moon!

Summit Entertainment has officially launched the web site for The Twilight Saga: New Moon today. (Click here to go to the site!)

The site includes the official summary for the movie that reads: "The next chapter in the Twilight Saga... in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is devastated by the abrupt departure of her vampire love, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) but her spirit is rekindled by her growing friendship with the irresistible Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Suddenly, she finds herself drawn into a world of the werewolves, ancestral enemies of the vampires, and finds her loyalties tested."

Plus you can download the new poster as a desktop wallpaper, widget, or simply a poster itself!

Do you agree with the description that Jacob is "irresistible"? Or are you more into Bella's "vampire love" Edward?

Vampires have officially landed in Italy! The Twilight Saga: New Moon is prepping right now to shoot two dramatic scenes on location in Europe this week. This marks the third country that Twilight will have been shot in (U.S., Canada, and Italy).

Rob Pattinson flew from the Cannes Film Festival in southern France to Rome, Italy. The scenes will be shot in Montepulciano, which is about 115 miles north of Rome (he's getting there by car). In the book, the scenes take place in Volterra, where the Volturi vampires live. No spoilers, but Edward Cullen goes there to try to put an end to a struggle he deals with in this second book.

Rehearsals will take place on Monday, May 25, and filming will go for four days from May 26 to May 29. The cast that will be filming in Italy are returning vampires Rob, Kristen Stewart, and Ashley Greene -- plus new Volturi cast members, Daniel Cudmore as Felix, Charlie Bewley as Demetra, and Dakota Fanning as Jane.

Meanwhile, Taylor Lautner -- whose character Jacob Black is not part of the storyline in Italy -- is back home in Los Angeles. One of his first stops was at a Best Buy store to pick up the video game NHL '08 for PS3. His dad waited in the car as he checked out in Aisle 6, dressed in jeans, black Converses, a black jacket, two silver necklaces -- and a v-neck white T-shirt (so Robby P. of him!).

And Taylor went eco-friendly, opting for no plastic bag -- he walked out with the video game and receipt in his left hand! Way to go green, Taylor!
