::Team Twilight::: Fan Fiction Friday

Happy New Moon my sparkly sisters!

What with last Friday and this coming Friday, it's like Christmas and our birthdays all rolled into one, wouldn't you say?

Here at The Love Shack we were just a wee bit distracted by His Holy Hotness last Friday. I hope by now everyone out there has had a chance to see Rob's latest flick, REMEMBER ME. If you haven't, what the heck is wrong with you? It's phenomenal, Rob's incredible, Ruby Jenkins is amazing and it's absolutely worth every penny IMO. Get out there!!! This weekend we don't expect to hear from anyone unless screams and swoons count right? I just know we are all going to have a case of New Moon-itis.

I realize everyone is aflutter over both of these events and the fact that they have been scheduled so closely together. Personally, I have the life squad on stand-by because you just never know. Taking this into account, we are keeping our recommendations brief. Honestly, who has time this week when there is so much real life Rob out there to occupy our senses? I know everyone is bouncing around like Alice, so maybe these stories will help keep you occupied until you have your very own copy of New Moon in your hot little hands.

::Team New Moon::'New Moon' DVD Clips Reveal Never-Before-Seen Footage

For months, Twilighters have waited patiently to get their hands on the "New Moon" DVD. Well, the bad news is that you have to wait a few more days — but the good news is that we're here to help.
Take a look at these eye-popping featurettes, which will appear as part of the behind-the-scenes extras on the DVD. Each utilizes unique interviews and footage to give the fans a new peek behind one of last year's most successful movies. Whether you live in Forks or not, there's one thing we can all agree on: They're pretty forkin' awesome.

Clip 1: As any good Twilighter knows, some major changes occurred between the first two films. Most significant was the fact that principal shooting was moved from Portland to Vancouver, meaning that many of the real locations utilized by Catherine Hardwicke would need to be duplicated. In this clip, the folks behind the production talk about some of the bigger challenges on the sequel — including rebuilding Bella's home with a new window for Jacob, and using the film's increased budget to give the stars a more substantial, adult wardrobe.
Clip 2: "Hey, guys, it's Taylor Lautner. We are in the rainy cold of the Pacific Northwest, and it is the first day of filming on 'New Moon,' " the boy/man known as Taycob explains at the beginning of this clip, which explains the development of Bella and Jacob's relationship. "Really, it's Jacob putting her back together in some way," director Chris Weitz explains of their dynamic in the middle of the film, as Bella deals with Edward's absence by growing closer to the teen wolf. "And yet, the sad thing about it is that even when Jacob is helping Bella pick up the pieces as it were, it's so that she can go off and see her vampire ex."

Clip 3: Adrenaline-pumped Taylor Lautner puts his fears aside as he's shooting this action-packed transformation scene, a pivotal moment in the "New Moon" story line. "Bella and Jacob are running towards each other — Bella thinks Jacob is going to grab her and wrap her up in his arms and Jacob [goes] right over top of her," Taylor tells us as he's all harnessed up. "I get jolted up in the air 10 feet; it's kind of dangerous." The clip gives fans a cool peek at the behind-the-scenes techniques used to get the stunt just right (check out the cardboard wolf standee in the middle of the field). "In the moment, I'm not thinking about the danger involved," Lautner explained in the footage. "Because I have so much adrenaline going."
