If the New Moon footage director Chris Weitz debuted at Comic-Con today is any indication of what’s to come, Team Edward and Team Jacob will continue to battle. Indeed, the scenes screened at the panel—which featured Weitz along with Rob Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and Ashley Greene, who plays Alice—played in part like a matchup of dueling abs. Weitz debuted two scenes for the screaming fans who spent days camped out outside of Hall H waiting to see their on-screen idols. One clip featured Jacob (Lautner) showing Bella how to ride a motorcycle while she battles visions of Edward in her mind. (Jacob’s abs show up when he pulls off his shirt to wipe the blood from Bella’s forehead after she bails on the bike.) The second scene was the beginning of the climactic sequence in Italy, in which Bella and Alice are racing to save Edward from exposing himself in the sunlight. (Edward’s abs show up when he takes off his shirt intending to show the world his vampire self.)
The New Moon cast made clear that working with director Weitz was a welcome reprieve from the frenetic filmmaking style of Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke. “Chris was the perfect guy to do this movie,” Stewart said. “Catherine was impulsive and fast. This time around we had more time to think. We could be a little more cerebral.”
Lautner spoke of the challenges of working with such little clothing and such wicked weather conditions, while Pattinson seemed extremely comfortable highlighting his role as a “supporting” cast member in this film. Speaking of her character’s relationship angst in the sequel, Stewart said, “I played an insane person in this movie.” Weitz, for his part, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to direct the sequel. “The last film I made [The Golden Compass] was recut by the studio, and it was quite a terrible experience,” says Weitz. “This has been completely different. It’s been a tremendously rejuvenating experience for me. I can remember how much fun it is to make a film.”

Best part – Pattinson saying that the one thing he doesn’t want to be asked again is “What’s it like to kiss Taylor Lautner” and Lautner’s reaction. Priceless!
when did he say that and where can i find it
hhahahha lol SHUT UP!!!
LOVE YOU ROB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so where are these clips? When do we get to see them?
I love me some Rob but rumor has it they airbrushed his abs for New Moon (if you find pics online, it’s a done really well if they airbrushed him but you can kind of tell). Personally, I think Rob is delicious abs or no abs but it does sorta bug me if he didn’t work out to get in shape for this role while Taylor worked his ass off.
They’re streaming it live over at http://jjpeg.com/watch28015.html for free if you wanna watch it online.
Also if you miss the live stream you can go download the replay at http://jjpeg.com/file2018451.html (it takes them at least 20 minutes to upload the replay though fyi)
I heard they airbrushed his abs in post and also used body make up to make them look more pronounced. You don’t think he’s naturally that pale do you? So yeah, added in some purple tint to give the abs some shadow. Sad that they had to do that when Taylor worked so hard to get his naturally. I guess Rob didn’t have time to get abs between escaping from all the fan girl mobs.
