It may have been closer to midnight, but it felt like twilight Friday night as Twilight fans across the country counted down the final hours to the DVD release. J-14 joined in the excitement at the New York City Borders location at Madison Square Garden, where the Twilight Moms did a special live podcast, fans dressed in character (our fave were girls who dressed in the pajamas with feathers all over them... those of you who have read Breaking Dawn know what we mean!), and even an appearance by the hand model who holds the apple on the Twilight cover.

But the highlight for the fans was the special appearance by Twilight cast member Edi Gathegi who plays the French vampire, Laurent. J-14 chatted exclusively with him and he told us that he and costar Kellan Lutz had a blast in Las Vegas at their recent joint birthday party. "It was fantastic! I had a great time," he told us. "The highlight was the New Moon cake they got us with the New Moon logo on it!"

Hey J-14er! It's Tierney, the intern, with your fifth and final day of exclusive scoop on the Twilight DVD special features! We're just hours away from the release. Remember, the cast is going to be making surprise visits to some of the midnight DVD release parties TONIGHT so you should definitely attend one near you! The last special feature we are going to dish about is the 7-part documentary all about the making of Twilight, called "The Adventure Begins!"

  I loved this special feature because it really gave you an intimate look at how the cast and crew took Twilight from the pages to the big screen! It also had interviews with the cast and crew who talked about how they filmed certain scenes like the vampire baseball scene where they attached the actors to strings to make them look like they were running faster! Poor Rob complained that it hurt a lot and that he was probably going to have scars! At least the scene looked amazing though, right?

  The first portion of the interview gave the backstory on how Stephenie Meyer thought of the idea to write Twilight. Did you know the novel was based off a dream she had about Bella and Edward?! Her dream was the meadow scene, one of the most pivotal parts in their relationship and my favorite part of the book!  

It was awesome to see some of the behind-the-scenes footage of all the actors! One my favorite parts was when they were filming Rob and Kristen walking into prom and Rob just started whistling out of nowhere! It was so weird but so cute! Another part that was pretty hilarious was Kristen trying to get out of the red truck and the door wouldn't open! Her face was priceless!  

You also get to see Jackson play guitar for a little bit! He is such a cool guy and this documentary actually made me develop a little bit of a crush on him! Don't worry Rob, you're still my favorite! Rob actually falls at least twice in this documentary (uh, is he trying to be Joe Jonas?!)! My favorite fall was when they were doing the slow dance at the prom. He was just standing around with Catherine Hardwicke and fell! Unfortunately, Kristen wasn't around to see it happen!  

In this special feature, you also got to see how they filmed a lot of the action sequences, like the fight between Edward and James at the end of the movie. It was interesting to see because when you are watching a movie, you never realize all the work that goes into it!  You also get to see how they filmed the vampire baseball scene. Did you know Ashley Greene had never thrown a baseball in her life before Twilight?! She looked like such a pro in the film. My favorite part of this scene though was one of Rob's trademark beanies made an appearance! When they were rehearsing the scene, he was wearing a blue one!  

This documentary is perfect for any Twilight fan! You get to see a lot of behind the scenes footage and get to hear from the actors. I didn't want to give too much away but there is a funny part where it took Rob 13 takes to catch the apple in the cafeteria scene! Him and Kristen were having so much fun and laughing like crazy! So cute!  

So I want to hear from YOU. What are you most looking forward to in New Moon?  

I'm most looking forward to seeing the Volturi in Italy! I cannot wait to see Dakota Fanning as Jane! I wonder who they will cast as her brother Alec? Anyone else think HSM cutie Lucas Graabel would be totally perfect?!

Tierney

Hey Guys! It's J-14 Intern Tierney here with the exclusive deets on all of the totally awesome special features on the Twilight DVD, out this Saturday! Are any of you guys hitting up a midnight release party? If not, you might want to consider it now that J-14 has confirmed exclusively that some of the cast members, including Rob, Kristen and Taylor, are going to be making surprise appearances at certain parties! OMG! How cool is that?!

  Today is all about the extended scenes. The stuff that almost made the movie but got cut at the last minute. Let me tell you, these scenes are so amazing! There are five extended scenes. Each scene is introduced by director Catherine Hardwicke, who explains why the scene didn't make it into the movie. Here are my two favorite extended scenes:

My first favorite was an extension of the meadow scene, which was so beautiful and romantic. I'm the biggest Twilight fan, but I was a little disappointed with the meadow scene in the movie because it was my favorite part of the book! I was so excited to finally get to see more of my favorite couple ever, Bella and Edward, just being together in the beautiful meadow! It really made me wish Edward Cullen was real! Sigh.

  Another scene I really liked was an extended version of Edward showing Bella his room for the first time. Did anyone else notice all the books next to his couch (no bed since he doesn't sleep!)? Well there are really about a hundred years worth of journals written by Edward! Unfortunately, we don't get to hear what's in them, but it was still really cool to hear about! I loved this scene because it shows how awkward and exciting it is to get to know your crush! We all go through that and it was awesome to see Bella and Edward do the same! Sometimes they really are just like us!

  I didn't want to spoil all the extended scenes so I won't spill on the rest, but here are a few teases. One shows how Charlie feels about the Cullens in general and the other shows the bad vampires acting even more evil than we saw in the movie! It's weird that Cam Gigandet can be so scary yet so gorgeous at the same time!

  Now, I want to hear from YOU! If you read the book, what do you wish the movie would have featured more?

Personally, I wish we got to see the lunchroom talks between Edward and Bella. They were so fun to read and we got to learn a lot about each character, like Edward's favorite animal to eat and Bella's favorite color, which of course was Topaz, the color of Edward's eyes! So cute!

  Check out J-14.com tomorrow for the fifth and final day of exclusive deets about the 7-part documentary called The Adventure Begins. It shows the making of the movie and a lot of behind the scenes footage!

Hey J-14ers! It's intern Tierney here with your third day of exclusive scoop about the special features on the Twilight DVD! Today is all about the music videos!

  One of my  favorite things about the movie was the soundtrack so it was really cool to see the music videos for some of the songs from the film. The three music videos featured on the DVD are Muse performing "Supermassive Black Hole" live, Linkin Park's "Leave Out All The Rest" and Paramore's "Decode!" I personally wish we there was a music video for Rob's song, "Never Think," but there's always New Moon!

  My favorite out of the three videos was definitely Paramore's "Decode!" It featured clips from the movie, mostly of Bella and Edward. The video has the band peforming in the forest, similar to the one Bella and Edward walk through! I liked how the video was specifically made for Twilight and totally fits in with the movie. Plus, Haylie is such a cool chick and she really rocks out!  BTW, the hat she wears in some parts of the video totally looks like the one Bella wore when she was walking on the beach with Jacob!

  Muse is my favorite band, so I really liked their music video for Supermassive Black Hole." The video is footage of them performing the song at one of their concerts and they sound amazing! Seriously, I don't think any song could have fit more perfectly with the vampire baseball scene than that one!

  Now I want to hear from YOU, what's your favorite song on the Twilight Soundtrack?

  My favorite song is Iron & Wine's "Flightless Bird, American Mouth," which was the song that played when Bella and Edward shared that amazing dance at the prom!

Make sure to check J-14.com tomorrow for exclusive deets on extended scenes from Twilight!
